A SMILES value.

A smile will do wonders for face.
1t adds to the plain woman and it en-
hances the beautiful woman's beauty
tenfold,
But 1 doubt If a frown is becoming
to anyone, except wee, wee little girls,
who are so dear in themselves that
even a pout detracts but little from
their charm.
Goodness" I can hear you say,
"Mollie is talking about smiles again."
Eyes, I am, and I intend to talk
about smiles as often as / like.
There is only one thing little bit
wrong with this world. We haven't
enough smiles in it.
And it is up to you to start right in
and help remedy that defect.

are outlined with white fluffy fur bands
Whatever you choose for the coat, pur-
chase enough material for the bonnet
Little bonnets and coats are lined with
white silk, and while the bonnet is
plain, yet is is trimmed with a long

Huckaback toweling Is used now for
working BiederrniAr designs. The cross
stitch is used instead of the solid enbroid-
cry stitch, vet often the work is done by

ACCOM- PLISHMENTS
OF SOME BRIGHT WOMEN.

Mrs. Ferris is known as the woman
farmer of the Portage plains. Left with
a family of young children, she has man
aged her farm most successfully since the
death of her husband. She comes from
Belfast, Ireland and when she arrived in
western Canada with her husband thirty
two years ago they had no capital at ALL
She now has an estate Of 76O acres and
her two sons are settled near at hand,
each the owner Of a half-section of land
about 500 acres
Miss Marie Gilroy of Saskatchewan, is
one of the most famous woman settlers
She put her last shilling into a prairie
farm and spent seven years in hand-to-
hand tussle with fortune, sitting on her
own binder, cutting her own grain, ham
ding the plow in the furrow and doing
stable duty. In 1906 her holding excited
the admiration of a young Englishman
and Miss Gilroy was induced to hand over
lock, stock and barrel to him for the
round sum of $4,000. Today Miss Gilroy
is touring Europe on the proceeds of her
original $1,000.
Should you meet a good-looking sailor
boy, with a complexion something too good
for one who follows the sea. take second
look at him. 1t may be Ethel King, the
woman detective in one Of her many dis
guses. Take searching glance at the
messenger boy who runs. with head down,
to deliver a missive. 1t is possible that
the female sleuth may be hiding her iden-
tity within that blue suit. Look around
you in opium-scented Chinatown. The
dapper woman who trips past the lookout
at the gambling joint, with a side glance
at the closed door, may be pretty Ethel
King in the costume of her sex, but sent
on a mission very unusual to a woman.
Miss King has assisted in the suppression
of the opium traffic and Of the gambling
dens of Chinatown all over the country.
She has made friends with the yellow
man, and in due time betrayed him to the
police She has been threatened time and
again, but has not so far been attacked.
Threats she ignores, and any one who has
talked with her for a time is impressed
with the idea that Ia tight corner she
could well take care of herself, for as
she says, "A woman is as good as man
in a gun fght and I am always ready"
