POSITION OF DRESSING TABLE
Should BE Placed In North Window IT
PossibIe-Easy to Procure
Artistic Effect.

It is we'll known that north light
being diffused is more agreeable than
the light from other points OF the
compass. For this reason window to
the north is best for the placing OF a
dressing table where there are other
windows to furnish ventilation and
outlook.
Every woman enjoys proper conven-
fences for dressing. One need not have
extravagant furnishings, but they
should be pleasant and attractive, as
we'll as convenient.
Select suitable material as to tex
ture, material pretty as to color, no
matter how little it costs, if it is ar
ranged simply and in graceful lines
the result will be artistic.
There are some rules to observe, and
one important one ig this-if the walls
are figured let the draperies be of a
solid color-ivory, old rose, soft blue,
silver, green-whatever will be harmo-
NOUS with the general color effect of
the room.
If the walls are of one color through
out or in shades of a self color, the
design inconspicuous, then have flow
cred draperies and the effect will be
pleasing. Figures everywhere without
any surface of repose are distracting
to the eye and unpleasant to live with.

EPIDEMIC OF ITCH IN WELSH

"In Dowlais, South Wales, about fif-

know of, as it itches all through Four

Sleep is out of the question and.yo
feel as If million mosquitoes were
attacking you at the same time. l
knew a dozen families that were so
affected.
"The doctors did their best, but
their remedies were of no avail what
ever. Then the families tried drug
gist who was noted far and wide for
his remarkable c;ires. People came
to him from all parts of the co Q1y
for treatment, but his medicine fNde
matters still worse, as a last resort
they were advised by friend to use
the Cuticura Remedies. am glad to

RICHNESS IS THE KEYNOTE
No Limit as to Combinations Of Ma
teriaIs Placed on Designers
of Gowns.

The master builders of wonderful
gowns are restricted by nothing this
season. Unlimited license is theirs,
lovely fabrics, laces, metals, tissues,
fur and jewels. Never before have
there been such evening gowns, such
blending of colors,' such combination
of materials.
A new idea is to drape an over
dress OF chiffon velvet over a gown OF
satin, lace and metallic tissue. The
velvet Is hung from the shoulders,
where it is arranged in narrow folds,
is drapeo about the figure usually from
right to left, and caught at the hip with
a Jeweled ornament; it then falls in
lustrous folds to form part of the train
Of the gown.
A magnificent gown made in this
manner was of all the vivid, intense
peacock tones. 1t was of green satin
with low bodice and narrow, cap-like
sleeves of gold tissue embroidered in
emerald and sapphire crystals.
The draped overdress was of pea
cock blue chiffon velvet caught at the
shoulders with gemmed cabochons of
green and blue. 1t was then draped
around the figure and held at the left
hip with jeweled ornament, falling
away to the floor with the satin train
of the gown
The velvet was lined with satin of
the same tone as the gown, which in
its entirety was of barbaric splendor.

A NEW TOWN
EVERY WEEK
AND A NEW SCHOOL EVERY
SCHOOL DAY.

The above caption about represents
the growth of Central Canada. The
statement was made not long since by
a railroad man who claimed TO have
made the remarkable discovery that
such was the case. There is not a
district of a fair amount OF settle
ment in any of the three Provinces OF
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta,
but has it's school, and the railways
have stations every seven or eight
miles apart, around which grouY3he
towns, some large and some ssMA]l.
but each important to its own district.
Schools are largely maintained by pub
lie funds and the expense OF tuition is
but a nominal sum.
The final returns Of the grain pro-
duction for Central Canada for 1909 is
now in, and the figures show that the
value of the crops to the farmers OF
that country is about 1915 million dol
lars, as compared with 100 million last
year. American farmers or those who
have gone from the United States, will
participate largely in these sple9did
returns, and these comprise those Who
have gone from nearly every Statala
the Union.
One of the many proofs that might
be put forward showing the immense
wealth that comes to the farmers or
Central Canada is seen in the sum
that has been spent during the past
two or three months by the farmers
who have for the time being ceased
worrying over the reaper and the
thresher, and are taking to enjoying
themselves for two or three months.
1t is said that fifty thousand peoplSnpf
these Western Provinces spent se
holiday season visiting their V0ld
homes. Most of these passengers paid
forty and some forty-five dollars for
the round trip. Some went to Great
Britain, some to the Continent, others
to their old homes in Eastern Canada,
and many thousands went to visit
their friends in the States. The amount
paid alone in transportation would be
upward of two million dollars. Some
make the trip every years. 1t need
not be asked, Can they afford it?'
With crops yielding them profit OF
500 to $25 per acre, and some having
as much as twelve hundred or more
acres, the question is answered. The
Canadian Government Agents at diff
ferent points in the States report that
they have interviewed a great many
of those who are now visiting friends.

HOMAGE to Noah.

In a lecture before the Royal Geo
graphical society Capt Bertram Dick
son said there is q large sanctuary at
the top of Jebel Judi, where every
year in August is held great fete,
attended by thousands of energetic
Moslems, Christians and Yezidis, who
climb the steepest of trails for 1000
feet, in the terrific summer heat, to
do homage to Noah. This mountain
seems to have been held sacred at all
times, and certainly it has wonder
fully awesome fascination about it,
with its huge precipices and jagged
crags watching over the vast Mesopo-
tamian plain. The local villagers can
show one the exact spot where Noah
descended, while in one village. Has
sana, they showed his grave, and the

bank notes of 1000 francs each and
IL others of 100 francs, with some

appropriated my property is so well
inspired as to read the Figaro l beg
him to send me back the pocketbook
and the papers, which are of no use
to him. To hope that he would also
send back the bank notes in ex-
change for a good reward would be
exceeding the limits of optimism, and

SURELY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN
Senator Pettus, at the Age of IS, Be-
Iieved He Had Attained Years
of Discretion.

Senator James p. Frazier of Ten
nessee tells a story of the delight
which the late Senator Pettus of Ala
bama took in a card game. Senator
Frazier, when governor of Tennes-
see, had gone to Hot Springs, Ark.
There he met Senator Pettus, and,
knowing him well, determined to
warn him that three men with whom
he had been playing cards were
sharpers from Nashville.
After hesitating some time he APP
preached the aged senator, and after
engaging him in conversation apollo
gized for warning Senator Pettus that
his card partners were crooked.
You don't say!" smiled Senator
Pettus. do you know l suspected
it?"
well, advise you not to play with
them any MORE" said Senator Frazier.
But there's nobody else here to
play WITH" ENORMOUSLY returned the
aged senator.
Older senators repeat an anecdote
of Senator Pettus in which he is rep
resented as returning home after a
night at cards just as the morning
light was breaking. He was at the
time of the story So years old, and
Mrs. Pettus was but little younger.
They never addressed each other ex-
cept as Mr. Pettus" and Mrs. Pet
tus."
Mr.. Pettus," said Mrs. Pettus
sternly, rising up in bed, do you
think it is good for your health to
stay out as late as this at night?"

band, don't you think l am old

Gray Beaver Hats.

The window of smart New York
millinery establishment was filled
with beaver hats in the newest shapes
and of varied tones CT gray from
pearl to smoke which is so dark az
to be almost seal brown.
These hats were trimmed each with
single full blown rose and foliage,
silver and gold tissue, burnt orange
and scarlet and crimson silk, and vel
vet being used in the making of the
flowers.
The roses and their leaves were the
entire trimming of these hats, and the
simplicity of the trimming gave an air
of distinct smartness to them.
Charlevoix county herald., 1910-02-19

Z OR the past two seasons greater
variety of shapes has been shown
in children's hats than ever before.
Milliners seem to have awakened to
the fact that the beautiful fiat" which
has been worn for so long by chill
dren, could not always please-from
the fact that their patrons were look
ing for something new.
Hats with dropping brims have a
more or less bonnet-like effect and
are especially good for little misses.
The past three seasons have shown
an increasing fondness for them for
grown-ups as well as children. In
fact for the present, shapes for the
miss are along the same lines as
