Poke Bonnets AGAIN.


The latest somersault of fashion is
to turn from the lingerie hat. with
its Topping brim of lace or fine en-
broidery, to the old-fashioned poke
bonnet.
A we'll dressed woman must have
at least one poke in her hat box to
wear with gowns having downward
droop from the shoulders, after the
style seen in old daguerreotypes.
This new poke, however, is modified
and altogether charming.
Very smart milliners did their
best to introduce the real 1880 poke
of Florentine straw with orchard
truck ornamentation, but it was no
go, and instead woman has accepted
a bonnet Of handmade satiny straw
braid trimmed simply with band
of very broad soft ribbon around the
high crown and huge broad bow
across the front.
A few wearers take kindly to
strings of black velvet tied in chic
way under the left ear, but most of
the pokes are stringless.

AmethYsts Much Worn.

The amethyst is a very beautiful
stone in itself, like the opal, but be-
cause of its small value has been
hitherto neglected, Now, however.
the fashion of wearing stones beau
tifully set and mounted artistlcally is
driving out the mere display of expen-
sive jewelry and bringing ornaments
within the reach of narrow purses.
The peridot, the topaz, the amethyst
and the turquoise are all decorative.
and in the hands of a clever jeweler
can be made effective and pretty.

Fancy Collars.

Embroidered and fancy collars rep
resent such a multiplicity of style one
scarcely knows where to touch the
fingers while making a selection. The
smartest of them are made of lace
embroidered or of Louis XVI. en-
broideries in soft linen. Then there
are deep lace collars embroidered
with small colored floral effects in
black chenille and gold thread, which
brighten up a black taffeta bodice
wonderfully. Narrow silk ties with
lace ends outlined with a narrow sill
yer Russian cord are pretty, and
these display three or more silver
tiny cord buttons on the mitered ends.
The lawn embroidered cravats look
we'll on pink and blue bodlces, and
there are collar and cuff sets made of
fine lace insertion trimmed with white
silk soutache.

Making the Rosettes and Bouillonnes'
To make the chic little rosettes

the Dellneator, take any large-sized
button, cover it with taffeta, put
cross-bars of velvet over the silk, and
then encircle it with double putting
of taffetas that stands out and gives
the button the form of cocarde.
The bouillonne or putting, which is
used on every sort of gown, is made
with a band of taffetas hemmed on
each side with tiny velvet ribbon
and gathered to form puff through
the middle.

Summer voaues in Hats.

The blending of delicate pink or
blue is feature of many hats, and in
the association not only of small flow
ers but of ribbons as we'll is this des-
cernible. Green also is a favored
color, and for the hat to complete a
green toilet or to be worn with a
black or dark blue or a natural pom
gee or Shantung gown, it is a most
attractive shade.
Green trimmings-plumes, aigrettes,
breasts and ribbon velvet-provide
this smart touch when the hat is
black, blue, ecru or white.
NO form Of headgear is more
charming than the dainty lingerie hat
made in simple baby" shape out Of
the finest lace or embroidery, with a
large bow of ribbon as its only trim
ming. These hats, however, have a
girlish effect, and should be worn with
discrimination.

crops Of grain can be grown on the
land.
While there are no large lakes or
rivers in this whole country there are
numerous fast running streams fed
the year round by melting SHOWS in
the mountains, furnishing an abund'
ance of the coolest and purest water,
the best for beast as well as man.
Englishmen and Americans In the
western territories are bringing In
their herds as fast as they can and
leasing or purchasing land In lots
from 1000 to 10000 acres from the
Dominion government. An idea OF the
growth Of the industry will, however,
be gathered from the fact that in 1899
there were but 41,471 head of cattle
shipped and sold from the ranches.
These figures ran to 55,129 in 1900,
and to 100000 in 1908, averaging $40
per head for the owners. But 1t takes
a great many ranchers and large
number of cattle to cover an area OF
200,000,000 acres, the area available
for ranching in the Canadian North
west.
1t is not at all necessary that large
investments should be made at the
outset. Many men commenced with
small capital and small herds, and
have worked themselves into large
herds and great wealth. There is still
in the country plenty of room for
'those who desire to go ana do like
wise.
The Second Part.
The second part of the Canadian
pralries embraces the great wheat
growing belt of the country, which
is easily a half larger than any other
in the world. 1t includes about $780,
100000 acres. AS 1t is comparatively
free OF broken land, large lakes and
rivers, about 125,OOO,0OO acres Of 1t
can be brought under the plow. Plac-
ing a farmer on every half section
1920 acres) 1t can comfortably locate
100000 farmers, or 100000 OF an
agricultural community. The terri
torlal governments reports show that
in 1903 there were raised 16,629, 149
bushels of spring wheat off 1924
acres, an average OF 1886 bushels per
acre; off 440, 662 acres of oats there
were grown 14,179,7O5 bushels, an av-
erage Of 32.17 bushels per acre;

be supposed that dividing the pralrles

but the topography and climatic influ-
ences, ETC., differ, as well as the condl-
lions for production. Ranching and
grain growing are carried on quite
successfully In this northern zone;
but It Is found more profitable to COM
bine all the features Of the industry.
An authority on the subject has
stated that agriculture in any country
never reaches the maximum OF de-
velopment until the farmers engage at
least proportionately in dairying.
though the surroundings must always
determine the extent to which any
feature Of the industry may be prose-
cuted.

In the territories creamerles and
cheese factories are to a large extent
under government control, and as
such are working WELL In Manitoba
they are largely a matter Of private
