WEDDING VEIL IS IN FAVOR
Various Attempts From Time to Time
TO Danish or Supersede II
Have Failed.

From time to time attempts are
made to Danish or supersede the we'd
ding veil; but, in spite of all objec-
lions. it still persists in the favor of
the bride. who is apt to be sentiment
al rather than reasonable. The way
of wearing it, however. has been
largely changed; many brides now
wear the veil as sort of cap, not
falling over the face at all, but fasten-
ed back with circlet of flowers. In
frcnt it reaches only to the knees, but
in back to well below the ankles.
Tulle. except for those who have
rare and beautiful old lace. is succeed
ing lace in favor; perhaps because
there is no danger of having part or

eye! A soft tulle veil. properly draped,
fastened by invisible pearl-headed
pins and falling over coronet of
jewels OF of blossoms, is as pretty a
sight as any wedding guest could hope
to see.

AID. COLUMNS MARKET PLACE
People Now Go to Their Home News
paper for information When in
Need Of Anything.

This might properly be called the
age Of advertising.
Advertising has helped to build
some of the biggest business successes
in the country. 1t sells eastern goods
in the west and western goods in the
east; it has brought north and south
closer together commercially It has
done more to educate the people in
values than any other one force.
The advertising columns of the daily
newspapers are the family market
place.
People no longer go about looking
for the things they want--they go to
their newspapers as to information as
to where they are to be found.
Women, before they start on a shop
ping tour, read the advertising news
in their home paper, learn exactly
where to find what they want and go
there to get it-because 1t saves time;
because they have learned that they
can depend upon advertising firms to
live up to what they publish, that they
will not be asked a cent more than
the goods are worth, that they
will be given fair and courteous treat
ment.
Many women bring the advertise
ments with them and make their pur-
chases from the list of articles ad-
vertised.
If you will consider the question a
minute, the reason for this public in
terest in advertising will be clear to
you.
The first interest Of average men
and women are TO clothe themselves,
and their children as well as possible,
to have the best and purest of foods
on their tables, to furnish their homes
as comfortably and pleasingly as pos
sible, to give their children every ad-
vantage of education, culture and
pleasant surroundings that they can
afford.
There is nothing more natural than
that they should read the advertising
column of their home newspaper for
information, to see what you and 9th
ers have to offer them.
How else should they find out?
Not from hearsay, surely, not from
going from place to place making COM
PARSONS.
No. sir, that is not the way people
spend money nowadays; there is an
easier. surer and better way than that,
and the people have learned it.
People are intensely interested in
advertising because II gives them news
of absorbing interest. and they know
that before reputable business man
publishes anything over his name he
is going to make certain that 1t is
the truth.

HATS FOR WINTER
THOSE FOR DREssY WEAR ARE
STRICTLY ORNAMENTAL.
New HeadPieees Have Discarded the
Suggestion Of the Practical and
Offer no Protection What
ever From the Cold.

Winter hats, intended for evening
or other dressy wear, have discarded
the suggestion of the material. They
are strictly ornamental head-pieces
and take no notice of the element OF
protection from the cold. Except for
the prevalent introduction of fur, and
the material of which the body of the
hat is made, one might consider them
designed for summer wear.
Shapes, save the day for brims still
droop in a becoming and sheltering
way. Velvets. nets and laces are
called into use for the bulk OF trim
mings stuffs, while ostrich plumes and
flowers add the finishing touches.
The hats shown here are types of
winter millinery in which laces are
used for decoration. Many dress hats
are made entirely of lace or not. In
these a band Of fur about the crown,
a fiat bow of fur or borders of fur on
ribbon or silk drapery. give the touch
that speaks of winter.

SKIRT STRAP A SURE BOON
in Keeping Cores and
Plaits In Place.

The skirt strap. ambiguous as it
sounds. is no relation to the shawl
strap! 1t is simply the little stitched
strap of self-fabric that holds the
pleats of the skirt in place. You will
see 1t appearing on all the new mod
els for heavy cloth skirts; for fash
ion has said, Narrow" and narrow
II must be. There are usually two
straps on each side of the skirt, al
most meeting, and sewed on a little
below the knees. Sometimes, when
there is a pleated blouse land it is
threepiece suit or a one-piece cos
tume) the straps are repeated over
the pleats or. again, on the sleevs.
Certainly they are boon to the
amateur dressmaker who finds trou-
BILE in keeping cores and pleats where
they should be; they save labor after
ward in cleaning and pressing, and
they give a natty, tailored appearance
TO the smart cloth gown.

Simplicity is Good Taste.

Think of the woman whose house,
whose appearance, whose conversa-
ton creates the best impression, and
you will realize that absolute simple
ity is the secret.
Remember this when selecting your
clothes, decorating your house. also
when You meet strangers on your holi-
days.
Unfortunately simplicity is not al
ways cheap. You will often have to
pay more for the hat of simple lines,
the frock of fine material and ex-
quisitely simple design than you will
for something more ornate and dash
ing.

II ~ Stewart. Where the Portland
canal divides British Columbia
and Alaska there are Prince Rupert
and Stewart, one at the head of the
canal and one at the beginning, two
mining camps just emerging from the
tented stage and talking about streets
and sewerage quite confident of great
ness In the near future.
When the news came first Stewart
was Stewart Camp. Already it is re-
specially called Stewart Town and
Stewart City. The population has
jumped from 1900 to 5000, and every
boat is bringing crowds. The tents
that we're disappearing came back
again in full force to house the i'm
migrants, and keeping a boarding
house is a better way of getting rich
than even shouldering a pick.
In England when the news came It
created a sensation. The London
Times correspondent described the
engineers who had struck the gold as
reporting that a thousand stamps
could be worked for hundred years
on ground they had traversed and
scarcely mark the reef, which is many
miles in length. and In places more
than 1900 feet nigh The engineers
declare this will prove the greatest
mineral discovery ever made
In return the cable sent word from
England TO canada that thousands OF
men were getting ready 10 set forth
and seek their fortunes In the won
derland OF the north and that the
greatest excitement prevailed.
Later dispatches were more calm
ing. It seemed tnat the new fields
we're no Tom Tiddler's ground. where
one might go picking up gold and
silver" but even IN the reaction there
was no lack of confirmation OF the
fact that a remarkable discovery had
been made. The gold is there. and the
dominion chief geologist gives his Of
fetal sanction to the statement that
the find is valuable. ard that there is
room for the prospective miners. Only
the reward will not probably be as
spectacular as in the case OF the Yu-
kon mines.
II seems pretty certain. however,
that the strike Is the most important
since KlondilTe days. and people are
flocking to the little town and the head
of the Portland canal II is estimated
that in the first three weeks after the
report Of the discovery $4,000 persons
were on their way to the fields Tho
little coastwise steamers from Seattle
were crowded, and from Vancouver
the boat TO Prince Rupert is taking
close to 400 passengers every few
days.
First reports say that single prop
erty has shown s250oO,0O0 worth Of
gold. and that another possesses
enough to keep miner working half
a century. Whether this is exaggera-
ted or not, II appears to be quite true
that gold found at the head of the
canal is assaying at 5000 to the ton,
and various old Klondikc miners who

Prudence Milton as much as year
ago discovered that Alfred Ruthven
possessed all the qualities that go to
make a man noble and splendid and
brave-no, not brave! A brave man
would have proposed to Prudence long
since. But Alfred, Prudence knew,
was handsome and intelligent, and
prosperous. Just one thing he lacked
-self-confdencs. Alfred was bashful
on the love subject
A great many men are 80. They
can discuss politics, the musical
glasses, the drama, literature, art,
| science and the classics fluently with
a young woman, but they shy away
from the real heart interest like an
aeroplane lodging church steeple.
Why, Prudence had inveigled Alfred
into long walks with her in the sill
very moonlight Of spring and the gol-
den moonlight of summer-an to no
avail. Once, in August, she was boat
ing with him, and she had pretended
to be afraid the boat would capsize.
What would you do If 1t did," she
asked him.
Naturally she expected him to reply
that he would plunge in after her
and save her or perish In the attempt.
Such q heroic remark as that would of
course lead into a more passionate
avowal of his reasons for being will
ing to lay down his young life for her
and then, of course, he could easily
hop-skip right along to a request that,
since he was willing to die for her,
she might consider favorably propo-
sition to share his life with him, or
words to that effect
But when she asked him, with
tremulous shake In her lovely voice,
and with a world of faith and trust
in her lustrous eyes:
What would you do II the boat
capsized?"
He never even stopped rowing. He
just said:
"It wouldn't matter much. The wa
ter isn't over three feet deep here"
Prudence almost capsized the boat
from sheer vexation then. When a
woman becomes vexed with man be-
cause he does not realize that he loves

and to reciprocate in advance. AL
ways, always, man must reciprocate
in advance to lady.
So Alfred might have been seen
stepping hesitatingly up the steps of
the Milton home on Christmas eve.
He carried small package in one
hand. 1t was his intention to deliver
this to whoever came to the door, with
a message that It was for Prudence.
In answer to his ring no less a per
son than Prudence herself opened the
door. Her eyes were sparkling, her
cheeks were rosy, and in one hand she
held bunch Of green stuff"
why, Alfred!" she exclaimed
Come right in. I'm putting up the
Christmas green's"
So Alfred came right in, shyly and
slyly depositing the little package on
a small table in the hall as he entered.
Prudence led the way to the living
