no great difference is to be seen in
the staple goods the coloring and de-
signs are more beautiful than ever.
Linen it would seem has come to
stay and it is to have another season
of extensive use, and coat and skirt
suits of washable materials are to
be as much liked as they were last
year. Judging from the washable
suits being turned out for the South,
white will be in advance of colors in
popular estimation.
There are new lowered organizes
of new patterns selling at % cents a
yard, printed voiles in delicate de-
signs ranging from so to 80 cents
yard. Thin striped or Powered, and
cost from 20 to so cents. A new XII
mono material of thin silky weave
Is printed in Japanese designs.
AS the season of warmth advances
towards us, the lingerie blouse shows
every sign of taking on new life and
ousting the tailored ones from the
field The linens opening up this
week are as multifarious in style of
weave as ever. They could not be
more so. Flower patterns in a host
new uSSlSuS are Dlclll1-
full enough among the thin cottons to
show the course that fashion will take
in that direction. Polka dots and
discs are also among the favored mo-
tives in cottons
Cross-barred white dimities printed
with dainty floral patterns have come
in with the new cottons. Among the
designs there is tiny green sham

rose garlands. single flowers, and tiny
figures all Of the daintiest nature The
dimity is % cents yard
A material that will be popular this
coming season is Powered cotton
tulle in great variety of patterns
on white and tinted grounds An
other idea that aglows of many a
change is tulle over-dress in white
with an underdress of Powered Or
CANDY, which gives the same effect
as the more expensive tulles that are
printed. With the same over-dress
one may wear a silk slip, indeed one
may have several slips and thus ap-
parently have several dresses The
idea is a good one when several
evening gowns are needed for little
money The silk slip will be as much
in demand as 1t was last summer for

ordinary designs. They are suitable
for the simple styles of evening
gowns to be worn now and will be
most useful in the summer season,
as they are in keeping, with the pic
turesque fashions that are so rapidly
gaining hold on popular favor.
The new striped and checked goods
which promise to be as fashionable
as they were during the past season
are as soft and supple as the weaver
could make them. They will be used
for the practical walking suits and
such suits often have plain skirts

FOR
PANAMA CANAL
Scheme on Foot to Divert
Canadian Timber and
Swindle u. S.

Ottawa, Feb. 2.-StartIing news
has reached government circles of a
scheme which is resulting in diverting
lumber produced in British Column
bia from its natural markets in Ca
madam centerS. where it is badly
needed, to the United States, and also
incidentally in cheating the govern
ment of the neighboring republic out
of thousands of dollars In timber du-
ties. Up to the present time it has
been believed that the great short
age of lumber in British Columbia has
been caused by the huge demand in
the city of San Francisco for lumber
for rebuilding after the earthquake.
1t is not denied that lumber has gone
to San Francisco In tremendous guam
titles, but the real destination of the
material has been the Isthmus of
Panama, and it has only gone to San
Francisco as a blind to obtain advan-
tage of the preferential rates of duty
that have been in force in that port
since the disaster of last April. Once
at San Francisco, the lumber has been
Immediately reloaded on other YES
sells and taken 20 the South, to be
used in the temporary work on the
Panama canal. The unrignteous gold
swindled out of the customs Offices
of the neighboring nation has been d.
vided between the managers of the
scheme and the lumbermen with
whom they deal in British Columbia
While the greatest onus of this double
dealing will fall upon the United
States, the matter is one of paramount
interest to Canadians, for lumber is
one of the chief necessities of the
rapidly spreading population OF west
ern Canada

Rupert Hentzau was in his trousers
