An Advancement in Crepe.

While fashionable mourning is light
er in it's general effect than it has been
for several seasons, one sees an elab-
crate use of crepe trimmings on both
gowns and hats. Women have chosen
to emerge, a little at least, from the
heavy sWarthings of gloomy black
with which they formerly adorned
themselves, and now they wear gowns
made Of some suitable mourning ma
terial with an effective display of
crepe in the decoration. The manner
in which the bias crepe folds are ap-
piled on the dress shown in Fig. 2 is
both unique and becoming. The curv-
ed bands emphasize the charming
curves of the shoulders and throat
and make becoming frame for the
crepe crowned head. The trimming
is laid on in deep scallops, the middle
one coming rather low over the bust,
and there is another scallOp between
that and the one outlining each slop-
ing shoulder. Inside the series of
curves is another fold of crepe, lit
tie more than an inch In width, which
hugs the throat closely at the sides
and forms a deep GU in front.
With this costume is worn chic
widows bonnet, if one may style it so,
which is composed entirely of crepe
laid in soft folds around the urban
like crown. At the left side toward
the front a large crepe rosette orna-
ment is placed, beneath which starts
long scarf of the crepe, which de-
scends to the back of the bonnet and
swings gracefully little toward the
right side where it is caught with a
mourning jet ornament. From this
point the scarf falls loose down the
back of the gown. there is a sug-
gestion of gracefulness and youth in

CURED recently on an Atlantic liner
between two fat and elderly poker
players. ct seems" said Mr.. DiXey,
with a smile, that the first man lost

thing keeps up, the smoking room

A tenderfoot once visited Tin Can
and watched with interest the poker
play. From saloon to saloon he
passed. Everything was wide open,
and very gay and lively. But as he

The Little Lace Rolero.

The little lace kimono with short
| sleeves is as useful a "set piece" If
Tile term is permissible in relation to
articles of attire as one may possess.
| Just now it is being successfully util-
| lied for the adOrnment of the princess
/ frock. New frocks are made with the
| bolero idea in view, and old frocks are
| successfully remodelled with the help
/ of this accessory. The jackets are
| sometimes fitted in and fastened down
| to the bodice as shown in Fig. 3. But
| this is not always done. If the jacket
! fits well it is frequently used with
loose edges so that the frock may be
worn without it.
| These little jackets are to be had in
| the shops in many different styles and
| patterns of laces. If the design be
| good and the lace of good quality the
| kind does not matter much. A heavy
lace may be used without further trim
ming, but very often the design of the
| Jacket is embellished by embroidery
| in gold or cOlors or both. The en-
| broidery may be of silk or of ribbon,
| chiffon, ETC. The jacket is then fire.
| uuently edged with a ball fringe or a
| gold fringe to match the embroidery.
Quite an attractive effect is produc-
ed when the lace jacket is embroider-
ed in the color of the costume. For
instance, a pale blue princess frock
with a large bo,ero will have the design
of the lace outlined with a heavy silk
| embroidery in blue or delicate trac-
ery of blue embroidery, accentuated
here and there by deeper blues or
gold. Sometimes the sole addition to
the design of the lace consists in the
embroidering of the centers of the lace
| flowers or the use of little tufts OF col
ored satin for these flower centers.
Some of the Jackets to be worn with
| satin princess gowns or those of equal
| lv elaborate material have embroidery
| of spangles outlining or OVERLAPPING the
| design of the lace. If the jacket is
| fastened to the gown bands of spang-
| led trimming will then be used to fin
| ish the jacket. When the gown with
which the jacket is to be worn has
chemisette or yoke of lace there is
no attempt to match the lace of the
| bolerO. The chemisette collar and I'M
| dersleeves may all be of the same lace,
| but quite different from the bOlero, al
| though naturally the design must eth

Moose Jaw, Sask., Nov. 18th, 1907.
Writing from Moose Jaw, Saskatche-
wan, Mr.. S. X. Rathwall says:
Il have much pleasure in saying
that on my farm this year had 500
acres in wheat, and 100 acres in oats
My wheat averaged about 90 bushels
per acre, and / had 200 acres cut be-
fore the frost, which / sold at 80
cents per bushel, thus realizing on
that wheat $500 per acre, not count
ing cost of Irvine, seed and labor. With
regard to the other 800 acres of wheat,
it got touched with frost but is worth
GO cents per bushel. 1t will net me
$500 per acre, but | do not intend
to sell it at that price, as can make
more money by feeding it to hogs.
My oats turned out about so bushels
to the acre, and at So cents per bushel
will give me $500 to the acre, not
counting seed, Irvine and labor
"On account of the late spring,
percentage of the grain was touched
with frost, but on account OF good
prices, farmers will realize a fair
profit Oh their farms even this year.
We are as usual up against short
age of cars to get our grain removed"

store in Fiji, resolved to try whether
the magic bean might not do for them
what it had done for others in, South
America and the West Indies.
So in the face CT some actual oppo-
sition and continual ridicule, says the
National Geographic Magazine, they
expended their capital of $50 pounds on
the leasing of eight acres of warm,
sheltered valley land and the '>'"nti''g
of 5000 cuttings o. good Mexican
vanilla
For three years, with the assistance
of one Fijian and occasionally
couple of Indians, the industrious
couple kept their plants weeded and
tended and laterly looked to the fer
tiIizing of the fiowers-a rather tedi-
Gus business, done every day by hand
in the earliest hours of the morning.
At the end of the three years the re-
ward came, for the plants were yield
ing splendidly and were expected to
give about G,000 pounds of dried
beans, bringing an average price of
10 shillings a pound. AS this would
amount to $22,500, it would appear
that they were quite justified in TAX.
ing their initial $1,000 on the magic
bean.
