Paris Pattern No. 1869, All Seams

Is rendered exceedingly smart and
somewhat unusual by plastron front,

Wide Gibson tucks cover the sleeve
seams. They are stitched to bust
depth in the front and extend to the
waistline in the back. The coat

BACk FROM THE HUNT

the rearing OF turkeys under semldomestlcation-
though in this the species dealt with is the
tame one On this island, which is the most sue
cessful turkey farm In the world, the birds are
permitted to run Wild and are not even furnished
with any shelter, other than they can find among
the trees and scrub. But plenty OF corn is thrown
about where they get 1t.
In this artificial wilderness, 1t might be
called which covers area Of about 1000 acres.
the turkeys get close to nature as possible In
deed the whole idea of their management is to
let them alone interfering with them as little as
possible. In the winter time their heads often
freeze under their wings when they are at roost.
But the exposure does them no harm; on the con-
trary, 1t renders them exceedingly vigorous, and
they attain huge size, the gobblers sometimes
weighing as much as so pounds when sent to
market
Every spring a few wild gobblers trapped for
the purpose in Virginia the Carolinas, in
troduced into the ocks Fishers island, to con-
tribute fresh blood This is esteemed matter OF
the utmost Importance. Our tame turkeys are no.
torousy difficult birds to rear, under ordinary cir
cumstances being delicate and liable to epidem-
ics--on which account many farmers have given
up trying to raise them. The reason why is SIM
ply that there has been too much inbreeding and
the stock has lost its hardness
A number of varieties of the tame turkey have
been developed by breeding, the principal ones
being the Bronze, the Buff, the Slate, and the
White, the Black and the Narragansett. The
White was originally albino. But all Of these
are derived from single species, which is of
Mexican origin There is only other known
Species which Is native to Yucatan and Guatema-
la. 1t Is called the ''oceated turkey" owing to
the fact that its tail is ornamented with eyes like
that of the peacock. It is Of the most beauti-

The Thankful Heart

Giving thanks always for all things unto God
and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ-Ephesians v20.
The thankful spirit is the true and sure source
of happy life. There plenty of things to be
thankful for, and 1t is wise to make an effort to
find them. They are never far away. They are
under our control. We their masters God
made US that way We may be In touch with very
disagreeable people, but If do not like dis
agreeable feelings we need not have them. There
are many good things to think Of with reference
to such people, Be missionary to them. Think
how nice 1t would be If such person had sweet
disposition and let your own radiate its virtues.
We rejoice and be glad no matter whore
are Paul and Silas sang hymns while in jail.
Why not? 1t bad enough to be In jail. God
was good to them. He revealed to them facts of
eternal life These good things to think
about, and why should they not enjoy them! TO
sing was reasonable thing to do. God had Civ
them something against the day of trouble and
they used It, Why should not we? What is the
use of being miserable when can just well
be happy? God is near In the joys and com
forts of life as well as in trials and tempta-
tions. We have good reasons to be thankful un-

amusement for "srown-ups'' is that of
roller skating. In Canada and the far
north ice skating is an amusement of
long standing. and one of the finest
Sports, going hand in hand with tobog-
gaming. In Central Park i'll winter there
are big skating parties on the frozen
lakes, but they do not detract from the
roller skating Kinks in the city. The cos
tune for skating may be a regular walk
ing costume, but it is absolutely essen
tal that ones shoes should be very high
and tightly laced so as TO support the
ankles. Broken and sprained ankles are
as frequent in skating as in golf playing
if correct footwear is not worn. The
skating dress may be fashioned of any OF
the different shades of linen or light
weight mohair i'm three-piece style. so
that the coat may be removed in the OPP
Grafton of skating, which is very warm
one and inclined to make one persplre
freely. This is one of the benefits gained
from skating. A rub down in alcohol Is
not bad idea after d skating party.

lady like amusement; it adds to the grace
and poise of the entire physical being
The costume may be made of any light
wooden material. CorsetS are not worn
during the exercise The skirt should be
well above the ankles as to length and
the blouse should be loose enough to
allow of the free use of arms and Shout
ders. A lovely costume for outdoor sports
recently seen was o. black and white
checked wool: the blouse was of white
ground. with tiny pin stripes in black, the
bust fullness drawn into narrow belt of
the skirt material. With this was worn
long. semi-fitting cape. The blouse sleeves
were long, the collar low. finished at the
throat with a becoming four-in-hand tie
of black and white check silk.
Fencing costumes are of ankle lerfeth,
with full plaits in the skirt. Rep, serge
or khaki are good materials for a cos
tune of this type.

But as alcohol is an astringent 1t should
be followed by a generous application of
cold cream. The coat is all the more
necessary in order that one may be pre-
vented from taking cold after skating
The skating skirt should not be too wide;
a wide skirt inpedes free movement
Long coats are pretty trimmed in but
tons. and hats should be the order of
walking shapes, not too wide as to brm,
and trimmed with scarf
A pleasure forbidden to the inlander is
canoeing, unless a cooling river runs
nearby. The sailor style OF costumes
worn for this sport are particularly at
tractive to the fair young wearer, espe-
cially when the vigorous exercise gives
bright colors to her chee,-S and the tan
and sun make her glow with health and
happiness. A loosely fitting blouse with
a regulation MILDLY collar is practical for
canoeing. The collar cuffs and tie should
match, as well as the embroidery on the
sleeves. The skirts, with buttons as
trimmings, should be of short, comfort
able. easily managed length. The sleeves
are best made long for protection of the
arms, but they are also frequently made
short. The hair should be arranged sim
ply, plated and coiled at the back of the
neck or plated and turned up in school
girl fashion and finished with a big bow
of ribbon. Smart and enthusiastic canoe
girls see to it that the color scheme of
the canoe always carried out in the
costume. For instance, white serge
costume. with trimmings of moss green,
should be worn If the canoe is painted
white with green trimmings; the white
wooden skirt thickly plated the blouse
showing collar of a flaming red and the
cuffs finished in the same shade, should
be chosen if the canoe is done in white
and red. Green is given the preference
summer color, as there is no cooler
looking color and none more restful to
the eye in summer.
1t is the fisher girl who gets close to
the heart of man. for there is no other
sport that man INDUCES in that makes
him SO lazy and happy. The angler
after fish sometimes is more sue

she comes back to her city home, to her
