PROPER LENGTH OF SKIRTS
rasnion's Decree Makes Distinct Vart-
atoms in Dimensions of the
Garment.

There is confusion in the minds of
many concerning skirts, There is so
much talk about smart gowns being
hVe inches from the floor for evening
and nearly six inches for morning
that women wonder If there is anv
hour in which the long, graceful skirt
is worn.
The strict decree of fashion is this.
Skirts five or six inches from the
ground for street wear; skirts that
sweep the floor in a round train for
the afternoon, and skirts five inches
from the floor for the evening.
This is the decree! Everyone does
not have to abide by it, but numbers
OF women will accept it in part, IL not
in whole. They may not have every
evening gown made short, or every af.
ternoon frock made long, but they will
asseredly have one of each kind ia
show that they know what is beins
done in the world of fashion.

One phase Of the moyen age prin-
cess Is demonstrated in our first illus
tration, the style being suited to
either house or street wear. AS illus
trated, the dress is made of pale gray
cloth, with a yoke of MORE in the
same tone, and yoke of fancy net
The cuffs are also of the MORE, but
the buttons and piping used are of
gray velvet in slightly deeper tone.
For theater or other evening use this
gown could be of white, or cream, or
pale blue, or dull rose cloth, or serge.
The evening serges are very hand
some and within the means OF most
home sewers. For street wear, serge
or cheviot would be good choices, and
with these the yoke and cuffs could
be of the same with braid finish.
For medium figure 5h yards of
double width serge Is enough for this
gown.
The second model gives one of the
evening dress aspects of the moyen

age. 1t is made of all-over and Dor.
dered fancy net. Any bordering suf1-
GENTLY wide, however, to cut the top
OF the garment could be used for it,
as well as pretty figured silk, Swiss,
or dotted or checked muslin, with all
OF which materials the lace-entre
deux and ribbons here employed go
charmingly.
With thin white material. such as
net, lace or Swiss or barred muslin
over tinted slip and with ribbons
in the same color, this gown would be
charming for any of the holiday fune-
lions soon to come. If a low effect
is desired, the line of the neck could
be made round and the guimpe LETT
on, IN which case the line at the bot
tom of the bodice, and those of the
sleeves, should be cut plain.
For the medium misses figure forr
yards of all-over net, and six yards of
bordering would be required for this
dress.

Brocade Hats

Brocade is much favored for brides
maids hats. Perhaps it solves the
color problem as well. for it is always
possible to secure just the right shade
of blue or pink at the silk counter
when the felt hats offer no assistance
to eager buyers.
Large shapes are popular. and
plumes of the same color or contrast.
ing tones are used. The design of the
brocade seems especially ornamental
and suitable for festive occasions.
After the great event these silk hats
are lovely for evening wear.

grown successfully up to the sixtieth
parallel and in the years to come your
vacant land will be taken at rate
of which you have at present no con-
ception. We have enough people In
the United States alone, who want
homes, to take up this land.
What you must do in Western Can
ada is to raise more live stock. When
you are doing what you ought to do
in this regard, the land which Is now
selling for $40 per acre will be worth
from $50 to 500 pre- acre. 1t Is as
good land as that which is selling for
more than 800 per acre in the corn
belt.
q would rather raise cattle in West
ern Canada than in the corn belt Of
food cheaper and the climate is bet
ter for the purpose. We have a bet
ter market, but your market will Inn
prove faster than your farmers will
produce the supplies. Winter wheat
can be grown in one-haf of the coun-
try through which have passed, and
alfalfa and one Of the varieties OF
clover in three-fourths of it. The
farmers do not believe this, but 1t is
true"
Keeping pace with wheat proIuc.
ton, the growth of railways has been
quite as wonderful, and the whole
country from Winnipeg to the Rocky
Mountains will soon be network OF
trunk and branch lines. Three great
transcontinental lines are pushing
construction in every direction. and
at each siding the grain elevator is
to be found. Manitoba being the
first settled province, has now an ele
vator capacity of upwards of $4,000, 600
Alberta about 100000, while the ca
pacity of elevators at Fort William
and Port Arthur, on the Great Lakes
is upwards of 100000 more.
Within the provinces of Manitoba
Saskatchewan and Alberta there are
flour and oatmeal mills with a com.
bined capacity of $4,000 barrels per
day, and situated along some famous
water powers in New Ontario, there
are larger mills than will be found
anywhere in the Prairie Provinces.
Last year the What crop totaled
over 100,000,000 bushels. This year
the crop will yield 100000 more. A
recent summary shows that on the LIST
of January, 1909, the surveyed lands
of the three western provinces, totaled
134,000,000 acres, of which about 80,
100000 have been given as subsidies to
railways, 100000 disposed of in 9TH
er ways and 100000 given by the
Canadian Government as free home
steads, being $4,000 homesteads OF
$50 acres each. Of this enormous ter
ritory, there is probably under crop
at the present time less than 11,0o0,.
0e8 acres; what the results will be
when wide awake settlers have taken
advantage of Canada's offer and are
cultivating the fertile prairie lands,
one can scarcely imagine.

E. A. Ross. Livingston county, Mich
igan.. has devised a plan for letting
feeding lambs out and in a driveway
without opening the large doors and
unduly exposing the interior. His
barn is so arranged that he does his
feeding on the ground floor, there be-
ing no basement to the barn and the
bays raised eight feet from the ground
by a board floor. This gives the whole
basement Of barn 36xs4 feet for feed
ding purposes. While doors were pro-
lvided at one end for the sheep, 1t was
desirable on account Of partition divid-
ing the basement into two apart

Cement Promotes Thrift.

Cement is a promoter of thrift It
is so easy to work that the farmer and
his help can utilize their spare hours
doing little at time. For example,
they can start with small feed floor
in the barnyard, then add walk to
the barn, then to the well, then con-
tinue it to the house, then around
it, etc.

STOCK TRANSFER TAX RULING VALID.
Controller Need Not Accept Original Issue,
Attorney General Holds.

AIbany June l0-Attorney General ONalley, IN
an opinion rendered to-day 10 State Controller
Cans. holds that a regulation adopted by the Con-
tro,ar tn the effect that old transfer stamps
would not be accepted after May l. 1893. is valid.
The original issue OF stamps. made in 1905 and 1sS.
was defective in that II could he counterfeted and
the stamps could also he washed and used again
after cancellation Because Of this the old issue
was retired by the Controller In 1876. and new
stamps were issued not subject to these defects.
From time 10 time, however. old stamps have
been used on stock transfers and the Controller
has received old stamps for redemption. Having
means of determining whether these stamps were
counterfeit genuine whether they had been
used previously. the Controller made regulation
that the old issue would not be accepted after May
! and that redemption would be made unless
the validity OF the demand for such had been
tablished before the Court of Claims. These regu-
lations the Attorney General sustained
