TWILIGHT SONG,

But tn, road leads Ne all,
For the King now is dead;
And we know. stand or fall.
We have shared the days bread.
We can laugh down the dream,
For the dream breaks and HES;
And we trust now the gleam,
For the gleam never dies
So it's off now the load
For we know the nights call.
And we know now the road
And the road leads us all.
Through the shine, through the rain,
We have wrought the days quest;
TO the old march again
We have earned the days rest;
We have laughed, we have iried,
And we've heard the Kings groans;
We have fought. we have died,
And we've burned the Kings bones,
And we lift the old song
Ere the night flies again.
Where the road leads along
Through the shine. through the rain.

modincation OF the "Hlgh Back"

Many hats appear to be trimmed
much higher at the back than they
really are, owing to their forward in
clination.
II must not be imagined that because
a certain style of wearing hats has
been adopted, anything like sameness
Is to be apprehended. For one thing
great diversity is to be noted in the
shapes of crowns, and the Importance
of the crown is manifest under exist
ing circumstances. 1t Is placed full In
view, owing to the forward slant Of
the shape, and its form lat least In
'front.' Is not concealed by trimmings.
Productive of almost endless variety
also Is what we call here the "move-
ment'' given to the brim, that is to
say. the particular curve or roll 1t is
made to take. or the way 1t is turned

Through the shine, through the rain
We have shared the days load;
To the old march again
We have tramped the long road;
We have laughed, we have cried
And we've used the Kings crown
We hove fought, We have died.
And we've trod the day down
So it's lift the old song
Ere the night fles again.
Where the road leads along
Through the shine. through the rain.
Long ago, far away,
Came A sign from the skies;
And we feared then tc pray
For the new sun to rise:
With the King there A. hand
Not q ehild stepped or stirred
Where the light filed the land
And the light brought The word
for we knew then the gleam
though we feared then the day,
And the dawn snote he dream
Long ago, tar away.

One of the most wholesome dishes is
baked apple. 1t is delicious at break
fast, as well as at supper In fact,
apples in almost any form are invalua-
bic. For variety's sake, try peeling
the apples before baking them. Peel
and core them, fill the hollows with
spice and sugar, and bake long enough
to give them thin, crispy crust. Some
times a bit of butter is placed on top
Of each apple before putting in the
oven. Serve them cold with whipped
cream.

Sable Island, which lies about eighty
miles to the eastward of Nova Scotia,
consists Of an accumulation Of loose
sand, forming a pair of ridges, united
at the two ends and inclosing shall
low lake; tracts Of grass ere to be met
with in places. as well as pools of fresh
water. The droves of wild horses, or
ponies. and herds of seals appear to
be the chief mammalian inhabitants Of
the island. 1t is generally supposed
that the original stock was landed
from a Spanish wreck early in the six
teenth century, although some writers
make the introduction much later,
Twenty-Five years ago the number OF
ponies was estimated at five hundred;
at the present dag there are less than
two hundred, divided into five troops.
Not more than two-thirds Of these are
pure bred, the remainder being the OFF
spring of mares crossed with intro
duced stallions.-LondOn Nature,

RrnndcInth In Demand.

With the great vogue of broadcloth
will come the demand for less ex-
pensive goods which present much the
same appearance. Henrietta and drap
d'ete will answer exceedingly well for
the construction of costumes and house
gowns but are hardly likely to be in
demand for tailored suits, since the
material does. not have the qualities
essential for the construction of the
plain tailored suit. which will be. the
prevailing style for winter

Woodwork that has become yellow
or is badly stained may be cleaned
with a mixture of pail of hot water
and two tablespoonsful of pulverized
borax. Use a coarse cloth and soap it
occasionally and sprinkle little pow

Rub the woodwork well and use plenty
of fresh. clean water to rinse.

Blouse or Gu,mpe Waist.

The simple waist made with fun
front such as this one. is always in
demand, but especially so at this time,
when princesse skirts and skeleton
waists are so much worn by young
girls. In this instance the material is
chiffon taffeta combined with lace, but
the list of available ones is nearly end
less. Lingerie blouses will be worn

Plain tablecloths and napkins are
made up very simply with ordinary or
overland hemming. Hemstitching of
any kind suggests bedroom linen, and
is not in favor for the finer weaves.
A single large letter in old English
script marks the napkins, and one cor.
ner of the tablecoth. One of the lat
est fancies is to have the initial or
monogram directly in the centre of the
napkin.

A cavalier hat in soft shade of

white TO deep green on the edges.

Plain tafreta is rather old for a
young girl, but the light colored striped
lowered taffetas are lovely for even

taste as organdies and muslins, which
can be made dressier by colored or
white taffeta slips worn underneath.
