The germ of the Canadian navy Is
rapidly developing into a lively or
ganism. The cruiser Rainbow. 1t ts
announced, will soon start from Ports
mouth for the Pacific coast of Canada
after having been thoroughly over

cruiser Niobe will leave Portsmouth

for five years, says Toronto Globe. 1t
is not expected that 1t will be at all
difficult to obtain the necessary OH
GERS and men in Canada when 1t be-
comes necessary to enlist them. II
is interesting to note that the first
proposal to construct a drydock or
large dimensions under the legtsla-
ton of last session has been made by
the English firm of Vickers & Maxim.
which has filed plans at Ottawa for
works at Montreal covering fifty acres
and costing two and half million
dollars. The construction of torpedo
destroyers has long been a speciality
with this celebrated firm, but far more
important for this country is the build
ing and repairing of steel vessels of
large size. The introduction of such a
plant will mark a new stage in the
evolution of shipbuilding in Canada.

VALUABLE SEWING HINTS
Things Worth Knowing for My Lady
of the NeedIe-AVod the
Knot.

The geimpe of plain sheer tulle or
net is more frequently used than that
of tucks. The yoke is extremely shall
low, and the clear flesh tint is the
usual color.
A dainty little workbag, just fitted
to hold the embroidered collars and
belts and other paraphernalia Of the
summer piazza, is of figured lawn, over
lining of light blue china silk. China
silk makes a good lining, by the way.
for bags which are to hold embroid-
cry silks and other things which
might be likely to catch upon rougher
fabrics. On each side of the--bag is
a semicircle of lace insertion, border
ed with a shirring of blue baby ribbon.
The embroidery hoop handles are COW
cred with blue ribbon.
The use of a knot is to be avoided
in sewing and not to be tolerated in
embroidery. The accomplished needle
woman rarely finds it necessary to
start with a knot, save in gathering or
basting. Sometimes a tiny one is
slipped under a hem, but it will show
on right side if material is sheer and
makes an ugly lump in ironing. Two
or three over and over stitches taken
on wrong side of material is as secure
as knot and much more slightly. In
embroidery there is no excuse for a
knot. Two or three tiny stitches ia
ken on outline or in body of work
where it is afterward covered will
hold any stitches. Knots only tend
to an .untidy wrong side, which no
good embroiderer will tolerate and
make the work rough in laundering.

The chiIdren,s Hair.

Some children are liable to catch
cold after having their hair washed
In order to prevent this the hair should
be rinsed in warm water to which a
few drops of alcohol has been added,
and wrung as dry as possible.
The hair should then be divided and
each strand wiped well with a dry
towel. If the child is then allowed to
sit in a warm room or go out in the
sun for a few minutes the hair will
dry very quickly.-Home Chat.
