What will women do next? Now,
instead of bedecking. only the
fronts of their frocks as has been
the custom, our French sisters are
devoting much attention to the
adornment of their backs.
They have not yet begun to wear
their lorgnette chains down their
backs, or their lockets, but they
are wearing bows, rosettes and
rows of buttons galore.
At an English racing course re-
Gently were seen many freak
frocks, fresh from the hands of the
French modiste-more or less elab-
ately trimmed down the back.
One sweeping gown of white
broadcloth was garnished with
black velvet pipings, and double
row of black velvet buttons. A
many looped sash of black velvet
ribbon was sewed on the back be-
low the waist. Now, isn't that a
practical fashion?

Woman S Corner

II Let me tell you how to lessen
your work so per cent this sum-
Msr.
aClean and put away all heavy
draperies, couch covers and rugs.
Spread few of your smaller rugs
on the floors. Cover yeux uphol-
stored furniture with"s,linen or
chintz covers. Take down your
nice curtains and put them away
until winter comes again, Leave
your windows bare, or. II you must
have curtains, put up some home
made ruffleless ones Of cheap lawn
Or scrim that are easy to launder.
Cover your couch with spread
of cretonne or chintz. Sew to-
gether two strips of the materials
three yards long and make three
inch hem all. around. Stitch on q
four inch band of plain goods Of
the predominating color Of the Gre
tonne, four inches from the edge.
and inter the corners.
Put away your heavy pillow COW
ers, and substitute cooler ones
made of crash or bingham.
Don't think your house will look
bare and cheerless; it will look
cool and restful-and above all,
clean, and you will spend a much
more comfortable summer.
Help things along by forswear-
Ing worry and hard work over
meals during the hot weather. Eat
plentifully Of fresh fruit and vege'
tables. Heavy desserts are all a
matter of habit; eat light buildings
or fresh fruits, as they are, or pre-
pared in some tempting way. Pre-
pare your salad early in the day.
Don't fret over dish washing at
night. Pile the dishes in the sink
and wash them tomorrow morning
thus you have an extra half hour
on the porch with the family, at
the best time Of the day.

Would you be happy If you lived
in a cage?
Gladys is very kind to me. how
ever. She never forgets to feed
me. She cleans my cage every
morning.
Sometimes Gladys takes me out
of my cage for little while. I
fly around among the palms and
plants in the dining room window.
I pretend that l am in the woods.
For a while / am very happy.

little bird. l lived In stuffy cage
in a room with ever so many other
birds in cages. They all made
such queer noises that | could
never carry q tune for more than
a minute.
But one day Gladys came into
the store with her mother. She
heard me singing. When l was
through she had her mother buy
me.
OF course like 1t here very
much better than in the store, for
/ love Gladys. but sometimes try
to fancy how grand 1t would seem
to be free, to fly wherever l wished,
to have other birds to talk and
sing with.
Sometimes dream of waving
branches and blue skies, and can
hear the sea pounding on the sun
ny beaches of the warm beautiful
islands where was born. and then
] wake to find myself in cage.

A CLOSE SHAVE

Many Of Them Happening Every
Day but Soon Forgotten.
Close shaves would be of more
frequent occurrence but for the
tender faces of many men which
will not permit of shaving often.
Heretofore, nothing has been said
in these columns about poslam,
new skin discovery, in connection
with its use after shaving. It's pub
licity and sales have been confined
almost exclusively to its remarka-
BILE properties as an eczema cure,
1t stops the itching at once and
cures the worst cases in a few days
While the application of poslam
after shaving is one of its minor
uses, such as for pimples. the COM
plexion, etc., shavers will find it a
revelation, as it does for abrasions,
roughness and severe scrapings
what 1t does TO rail- manner of skin
ifficulties-heals and cures in a
few hours. 1T is the only article
possessing real antiseptic and cura-
tive value that has ever been ex-
plotted for this purpose, and will
soothe and tone up the skin as no
toilet preparation could possibly
do.

MODES UP TO THE

The jet jewelry so popular just
now can be bought in very pretty
designs and reasonable prices in a
good imitation.
Fuller skirts are advocated, and
the short sleeve has jumped back
into favor.
The two most fashionable fabrics
for summer wraps this season are
serge and prunella cloth.

VIEW OF wHARvEs AT PRINCE RUPERT, B. c.

800
VANCOUVER, B. c., June 15.--
From forlorn little village to the
big terminal city of trans-conti-
mental line is a big jump. but such
is predicted for Prince Rupert, a
little place about 800 miles north
of Vancouver.
I'm few years Prince Rupert
will be the San Francisco of the
north" is the statement of General
Manager Chamberlain of the Grand
Trunk Pacific, Canada's new
transcontinental.
A more forlorn looking place for
the site of a terminus would be
hard to find. But already the sale
of city lots has begun. Nor will
the lots be given away to first COM
ers. It is said that $4,000 is the
reserve price on the lowest Of
them. The railway company and
the provincial government have all
the water front. The best manu-
featuring sites, it is said, will not
be sold yet.
Many Americans have already
inspected the townsite, and it is
expected that the best lots will go
to shrewd investors from over the
border.
Construction gangs busy with
the western end of this coast to
coast line are at present the main
inhabitants of this city in the
rough. The line is expected to be
running in about there years.

Cottage on Academy Street Destroyed
-lpadeauate Fire Protection.

On last Tuesday morning
about 4 o'clock an alarm of fire
was sounded and a large crowd
collected to see the dread demon
devour the home OF Mr. @ H Pat
rick on Academy street. On
account of something being
wrong with the pump, it was
some time before any water
could he gotten, and when it
came it was too late to do any
good except to keep the fire off
the nearby buildings.
All of the household goods
were saved except the kitchen
furniture, which, owing to the
fact that the fire started in the
kitchen,it was impossible to get
out. 1t is not known how the
fire originated, unless from rats
and matches.
The house was owned by Mr.
r H Kelllhan and was valued
at $1,5OO, with only $500 insur-
ance.
Anyone who was at the fire
could readily see how badly
Kingstree needs an up-to-date
fire department, with an avail
able amount of water sufficient
to fight the demon, and it is to
be hoped that the city fathers
will look into the matter in the
near future and give the citizens
of Kingstree the protection to
which they are entitled.
