OF this description was developed of a
blurred striped effect In n plain
style like a plain directoire coat. The
panel effect is a new note. The panel
extends from the upper portion of the
v-shaped opening at the top Of the
coat to the hem, and has button trim

panel into prominence, the stripes are
across the material and not length

coat. The sleeves are plain, not even
finished with cuffs, but a black velvet
shawl collar Is used.

Small Wonder That the Little Mother
Was Really Alarmed.

Little Mary was really very III.
Mother said she was sure it was an
attack Of appendicitis, but Grandma
was equally sure the little n was
threatened with commissions.
The argument waxed warm in
Mary's presence, and appropriate rene
dies were used, and the next day she
was better.
Coming into her mothers room dur
ing her play she said:
Mamma, two of my dollies are very
sick this morning"
Indeed, dear, | am very sorry. What
is the matter with them?"
"Well l don't really know, mamma,
but l think Gwendolyn has a pint
o'spiders' and Marguerite is going to

Rubber Industry Craving.

Official reports give a good idea of
the extent to which the rubber-plant-
ing industry has grown in the feder-
ated Malay states during 1907. Not
far short Of $4,000 acres were planted,
an increase Of 46 per cent. over the
figures Of the previous year, and by
December, 1907, practically 10000
acres and 27,50O,0 900 trees had been
planted. The output of dry rubber in
creased by 144 per cent, being 1917
tons.

Laundry work at home would b
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric 1s
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality Of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because Of its great
or strength than other makes.

The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffen-
err makes half the usual quantity of
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.

THE cause of the explosion Is not

that the cable-ship Restorer would

the past. The Rcstorer left here ami
arrived in Victoria last January. and

the fact that the boat had not re-

the officials of the cable company

had received no news to the effect
that the cable-ship would not be re-

Mr. Gaines, superintendent of the

that we have received no informa-
