seemed to me inevitable. And there's
where I guessed wrong. The young
men were allowed the fullest liberty;
they had plenty of money and were
very live wires; and the saloons and
places of amusement were making spe-
cia1 efforts and working overtime to
attract visitors.
When the "a hours expired and the
launches came putting into dock again,
1 watched the boys load into their re-
spective ships boats, and out of one
thousand, two, just two boys, required
assistance from their comrades. And
the chief Of police told me his men
had not had occasion to arrest single
man. To me the high standard of
conduct, the respect for the uniform,
and respect for ones self, which is
taught these young men. was most
impressive thing. Can you imagine
1000 young men of equal age, lands
men, including clerks in banks, offices
and stores, and skilled young men in
all the various mechanical trades, go
ing out on their first holiday in six
months, with plenty of money to
spend, and all restraint removed, and
coming back at the end of "a hours
with only two men disabled ?"
The conduct of the boys of the navy,
ashore in their own land, with less
necessity FOR constraint than in a for
eign port, deserves the highest com
mendation, and better words of praise
and congratulation than these few
lines express.

EVENING CHAT
BIZ RUTH CAMERON.

A young friend of mine has recently de-
clded to have about half as many clothes
| as she now has.
No, she has never been a Flora Nc
| Flfmsey. Nor is she doing this because
she wants to give. up the vanities of the
world. She has simply come to the con-
clusion that she will get more out of her
clothes if she concentrates.
This Is the way she puts it: Il have
always had a lot of clothes, none of
them very expensive and not more than
half of them especially becoming. Now
don't really need many and I know
I'd enjoy them more if 1 had fewer and
dress Last year 1 had seven or eight
dresses for the summer, and there were
only three really liked, and I wore them
practically all the time. Next year I'm
not going to have more than three or four
but they are all going to be just right.
OF course, I'll have to wear them over
and over again but 1 know I'll be better
off,
Don't you think this young person has
come to a wise decision?
Just about three out of every four wo-
men nave too many clothes. And by too
many clothes, mean just the condition
this girl describes-they have more clothes
than they can have and have them right.
One of the best dressed women 1 know
among women of moderate incomes has
attained this desirable distinction by con-
centrating in this way. She isn't one of
the women whose ambition is to appear
in a different gown at every function. On
the contrary she has very few clothes but
what she has are always perfect
Il might have twice as many gowns"
she said to me once, eff 1 would be con-
tent with what most women in my cir
cumstances are satisfied with. But the
way I've thought it out is thiS-I believe
that anyone would rather see me again
and again in a thoroughly becoming and
attractive gown than to see me in two or
three different dresses that weren't any of
them particularly attractive. OF course,
I'd rather have lot of lovely gowns, but
since with my income that isn't possible
"a how faX hi
than a lot of nondescript ones"
Not every woman of average income has
this choice between quantity and quality
to make.
We all want both. but if we can't have
them, we must make up our minds which
is better.
Which have you chosen?

Wine to Bathe In.

The following circular has recently
been sent by number of French wine
merchants to their clientele: Bathing
in superior Malmsey wine is most for
hectolitre (about II gallOns) of this
delicious wine is sufficient for one
hundred baths. On each occasion the
whole twelve gallons are poured into
the bath, and when the bath (whi IN
should occupy twenty minutes) is fin
ished, the wine should be poured back
into the barrel. After one hundred
baths the Malmsey wine is distilled
and produces delicious brandy"
This extract is verbatim. AS school
boys we had delightful visions of IA
nous Duke of Clarence, who was
drowned in a butt of this delectaDle
liquor in 147S-a death which ranked
him Immediately with those unfor-
SurfeitS of lampreyS and new ale.
Nevertheless, it seems to have been
reserved for our luxurious age to de-
wise systematic bathing in wine. No
for it in the Roman empire; and to-
day, in some of the stories of the Wild
West, we read of cowboy millionaires
delighting in baths of whisky; but a
regimen of baths in MalVOisie seems
the ne plus ultra of questionable ex-
trava gance, even when allowance is
made for the thrifty practice of US
ing the same wine 100 times, and then

be inclined to suspect an elaborate
joke, especially in the naive recon-
mendation at the end, were it not for
the fact that the extract is taken
from the Bulletin Official of the Paris
markets, a paper which is mainly de-
voted to making public all informa-
ton which tends to the encourage
ment of French agriculture. Never
theless, we should welcome a definite
pronouncement as to the value of

FOREIGN TRADE Cams.

In August the imports of foreign
merchandise increased ABOUT 10000
900 over the record for the like month
of 1911. The rate of gain was m,re
than % per cent.
In the same month the increase in
exports of domestic merchandise,
compared with the corresponding part
of last year. was about $23,500,OyO.
The rate of growth was over 1 6 per
cent.
Such facts show great general activ-
ity and prosperity in the commerce of
this country with other nations Gains
so important in both the outward aud
the inward movement of merchandise
prove that the foundations for Ameri-
can industrial development are berg
expanded and strengthened rapidly in
many parts of the world.
When business slows down in this
republic there will be a better outlet
abroad than ever existed before foS
the surplus products of American
farms, mines, mills, factories and
shops. The position of this country
in the international traffic of the world
is better and more secure.

1 know that it is popular notion
that there is something seriously the
matter with all of US. Some of us
believe this unholy heresy SO strong
ly that we regard joy as a crime and
We are constantly looking for some
mystic remedy for an oppressive ill
that we cannot put our fingers on,
much less describe. We invent our
own ills and search the universe for
cures. We shut our eyes to the sun
shine and complain that we have been
stricken blind. We close our ears to
the music of gladness and claim the
sympathy due the deaf.
What we need is something to break
our morbid habit of assuming that this
earth is the abode OF tragedy. Too
much introspection has made US mad.
We're "seein' things o'nights' and by
day. For some uncounted thousands
of years the race has been regarding
death as the supreme misfortune. A
greater one is to take no joy in life.
1t is time for US to brace up and
look at existence sanely. Death is as
natural as life and the time comes
when it is more merciful. There is no
boon more precious than to be able,
when the physical powers have failed
and we have gone happily down into
the golden haze of autumn's afternoon,
to cease before the flesh has become
a burden.
AS for our troubles here, they are
mostly fears and unreal. He who has
his work to do and gives his whole
heart to it, knows the Illuminating
truth. 1t is the idle mind which con-
ceives itself to be surrounded by ogres
of misery Woes, physical and mental,
flee from the brain given over complete

HIGH STANDARD IN OUR NAVY.


The transformation from the sail
propelled man-o'-war to the compIi-
Gated mass of machinery known as
the modern battleship is not one bit
more pronounced than the improve
ment which has taken place in the per-
sonnet of the men who compose the
human working parts of these great
machines, writes H. H. Windsor in the
October Popular Mechanics Magazine
Time was when the navy was looked
upon by many as a sort of reform
school,, a last resort to which young
men could be sent who were not quite
bad enough to put in Jail and not
good enough to roam at large. Such
conditions have fortunately passed
away and the American navy today
is composed Of brains and muscle of
the highest order and a personnel of
which the country can well be proud
I was specially impressed with this
fact when during the past season
spent some days in a weIl-known New
England port which is seldom without
one or more naval vessels during the
summer. At this particular time there
were four battIeships and eight small
err fighting craft, with total of over
four thousand men on board. On two
of the batleships the men had not set
foot on land for six months-an I'M
usually long time-and naturally were
anxious to get ashore. When I saw
