Fred Wanless was Aunt Hildreth's
nephew. She hadn't legally adopted
MIN, but he had lived with her since
ne was a boy of ten, and now he was
past 70. She had money, and It was
generally understood that every dol

been unduly pampered. and ne hadn't
taken advantage of her kindness and
generosity, but he was one of the
thousands Of young men who are
easy-going. and won't work until

Nothing further was said on the
subject for two days, and meanwhile
Aunt Hildreth carried a very sober
face. Fred noticed 1t, and 1t worried
him. At length he asked If she was
worrying about anything.
YES. l am" was the reply. Fred.
I'm sorry to tell you that I've lost

THE PRICE OF

ence was met with. And then atten-
ton is directed to Canada, which has
been the Mecca of so many hundred
thousand, Americans during the past
few years. Not only in Eastern Can
ada has the price Of lands increased.
but IN Western Canada, during the
past few weeks, farm lands have In
creased from three to i've dollars an
acre, with the prospect of q similar
advance during the next three months.
The reason for this is very apparent,
and in a few words 1t may be pointed
out that the lands are worth great
deal more than the present prices.
The Northwestern Agriculturist OF
Minneapolis, paper that was one of
the first of the American farm papers
to discover the real merits of the
lands Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, says: THE reciprocity SEIZED
ule would encourage American farm
ers to move to Canada, where the vir-
gin soil will produce greater crops of
grain with less labor than can. be pro-
duced in our own farms in the North
west The result will be to enhance
land values in Canada" This paper
is afraid land values in Canada win be
enhanced at the expense of land
values in the United States. In face
Of the fact that land values in the
United States are Increasing the rea-
soning scarcely holds. The reason for
the advance in value of Canadian
lands is partly accounted from the
fact, admitted by this paper, that Can
ada's virgin soil will produce greater
crops of grain with less labor" But
that is not the only reason. During
the past twelve months $4,000 peo-
pie have made Canada their home and
these are mostly Of the farming class.
They want farms. and the demand as
well as the wealth Of the soil Is regu.
lating the price. A study of the in-
crease in the acreage Of land put I'M
der crop last year, which can be had
from any Canadian government repre-
sentative, win prove the point. that
the demand is increasing at greater
ratio than even the most sanguins
would have predicted.

Father Brothers Timely Return From Europe Answers Prayers of His Parish
 Oners

The Rev. Father William A. Broth CTS, rector Of the Church of the Inn maculate Conception in Montclair, N J., returned from Europe yesterday on the North German Lloyd liner George Washington, and as soon as his bag gage was passed he rushed by auto to the home of his brother-in-la James D. Moriarity of 29 Mount Vernon ave- nue. Orange, where his mother, Mrs c. H. Brothers. was dying.
 Father Brothers found his mother alive still, but unable to recognize the son, to see whom before she died had been her desire since she was stricken Ill.
 All day Father Brothers kept by her side, to receive any message the dying woman might leave should she regain consciousness
 The timely arrival of Father Broth CTS gave great comfort to the women of the Immaculate Conception Church. For the last week the women, who have been attending mission con- ducted by the Passionist Fathers, have prayed that Mrs.s Brothers might live to see her son.
 The George Washington was origin ally announced to arrive Sunday, but on Friday it became known that the ship was behind schedule, and would not get into port until yesterday. Nevertheless Father Theodore, one of the missionaries, urged the congrega- tiOn to continue their applications The mission ended Sunday morning, and in the evening thousand men, at the opening of weeks mission, pray ed for Mrs. Brothers. At the masses yesterday prayers were also offered.

 She splays the part of the maid and has few lines Her business is to stand in the center and look interest edly at the two principal figures who are carrying on the dialogue. She answers "Grandma's'' bell, says sA letter. and later Twelve years?" and finally makes this entreaty, 'Oh. give her, give her a chance!"
 Miss Binford said she didn't see how any one could object to her going on the stage so long as there was noth- ing wrong with the play. She thought she ought to- have chance to make living on the stage if she could. She is under contract with Arthur Lucas, and is living in the Bronx with fam fly by the name of Berstein.

Thick, soft woolly cloths which the Scotch mills know so we'll how to make slightly weaves with plenty of warmth in their wooI- ly folds-these are what we are to wear.
 Quite bit heavier in texture and weight are these new fabrics-and sensible, too, for the thinner cloths frequently give their feminine wear CTS chance to shiver when the north winds blow These Scotch mixtures are usually in rough weaves -diagonals in two colors, for in- stance, with shaggy dots in white or gray. These make delightful top coats Another attractive Scotch weave was of navy and white, in a diagonal-like weave, with a fancy stripe in green.
 Diagonals in fact are quite fre- quently noted, and so. too, are Scotch tweeds. The reversible suitins Is another winter material, and will be in evidence as will also fancy wool suitings in black and white.
 Soft vicuna cloths, delightful to the touch and very pleasant to wear, will be much used for smart top coats. modish motor wraps and er- fective steamer coats.
 But our old friend, the serge, win not be overlooked. Serges in heavy winter weights and novelty ,as we'll as plain weives, are to be as fash ionable as ever. Likewise cheviots ana fancy worsteds. will have a place in the seasons modes.
