The other two blouses show one of

blouse shows a charming folded ar.

cuffs of white net embroidered with

ORIGIN
OF q Famous human Food,

The story of the great discoveries
or inventions is always of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack of bodily
strength and vigor and could not carry
out the plans and enterprises he knew
how to conduct, was led to study va
rious foods and their effects upon the
human system. In other words, be
fore he could carry out his plans he
had to find a food that would carry
him along and renew his physical and
mental strength.
He knew that a food which was
brain and nerve builder (rather than
a mere fat maker) was universally
needed. He knew that meat with the
average man does not accomplish the
desired results. He knew that the
soft gray substance in brain and
nerve centers is made from Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food. Then he started to solve
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts. the now famous
food. 1t contains the brain and nerve
building food elements in condition
for easy digestion.
The result of eating Grape-Nuts
daily is easily seen in a marked sturdi-
ness and marked activity of the brain
and nervous system, making It
pleasure for one to carry on the daily
duties without fatigue or exhaustion.
Grape-Nuts food is in no sense. a
stimulant but is simply food which
renews and replaces the daily waste
of brain and nerves.
Its favour is charming and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory 1t is served instantly with
cream.
The signature of the brain worke
spoken of. c. w. Post, is to De seen on
each genuine package Of Grape-Nuts.
Look in pkgs. for the famous little
book. "The Road to Wel.ville."
There's reason"

Scarf Dresses the Fad.

Many of the handsomest evening
gowns have been fashioned from the
tinseled Syrian scarfs which may be
bought now in most department
stores for much less than the extra
VACANT prices asked by the solemn
and crafty-eyed Egyptian nomads who
proffer these wares to summer-resort
visitors. In these days of narrow
skirts and sleeveless evening bodies
half dozen of the scarfs should make
a very graceful dress. and one may
choose white tinseled with silver or
black wrought with gilt. The Egyptian
maids wore their scarfs. or yazmaks.

A PILGRIM Rua Party.

A pilgrim rug party is the very
latest fad-shades of our grandmoth-
ers! Do you suppose under this dis
guise they would recognize the old
rag carpets which adorned every
room? Time has certainly turned
backward in its fight and the older
the fashion the newer, more up to date
it seems to be. The ''hit-and-miss"
style Of rug may somewhat resemble
the old rag carpet, but the exQuisitely
woven ones of blue and white. green
and white and green and pink are
such artistic things that their relation
ship to the plebeian rag carpet is re-
mote, save In the method of prepar-
ing the materials Only cotton fabrics
are used. and as In the olden day. a
pound and half ball weaves into q
rug OF a square yard In size. Well,
now for the party. 1t was for bride
elect, and the cards said 'thimbles,"
SO we were prepared to sew. We
found piles of dark blue denim strips
cut into about an inch wide. These
were sewed together and wound into
hard ball. Then there was a pile of
white strips-before us was COM
pleted rug. BY the time refreshments
were served the rags were sewed. The
cost of weaving is very small. The
bride-elect was delighted with this
new fashioned shower.

Teneri6e!
What delightful memories crowd In

that beauty spot In the Canaries. for
the recollection of the six weeks
spent there win always be an abiding
one with me.

. lest, seeing them. many should be
tempted to stay on them.
Santa Cruz itself is one of the most
delightful places in which anyone can
desire to spend a holiday. for it Is
picturesque, full of handsome balloon
les and quaint hooks and corners.
while the "view-towers" placed on the
roofs prevent uniformity in the ar
chitecture. This beautiful town has
been the capital of the Canaries
since 1921, and this year celebrates
its jubilee as city.
The city contains many matters OF
historical interest to the Englishman.
One of the most striking is undoubt-
edly that connected with Nelson. who
attacked the city in July 1897. and
met with the only defeat recorded In
his career. Santa Cruz is remark
able, too, for the fact that 1t was
here that Nelson's arm was shattered
by a cannon-ball Having anchored
some two miles off the town on July
"a, he made a feint to draw the gar
rison away from the fort. and at mid
night some seven hundred men in
boats were directed against the Mole,
where they arrived within half gun
shot before the enemy discovered
them.
Forty guns at once opened fire.
The cutter, containing some two hun
tred men and several boats, was sunk,
and many of the other boats were
dashed to pieces by the surf. which
was running high, as the men
jumped ashore. Nelson's arm was
shattered by a cannon-ball as he
stepped on the jetty, and he was car
ried back to his ship by the men.
