some uneasiness began to be mani
tested respecting the ultimate inten-
lions of the commissioners. To cut a
long story short, as fast as the various
terraces encircling the park and the
detached villas within the Enclosure
were completed the public were ex-
Guided from the park lands either OPP
posite or round and about the houses
till finally they found themselves shut
out of the park entirely.
Ehis infringement of the rights of
the public (for the improvements we're
paid for out of the public purse) was
very gradual and insiduous. The park
took nearly thirty years to lay out
and build, and it was not till 1888 that,
Londoners woke up to the fact that
while a vast space had been preserved
from the encroachment of mean build.
ings, they had lost the time-honoredi
use Of it for recreation and exercise.
In that year the commissioners gave
the public access to a small strip on
the eastern side.
This concession was speedily fol-
lowed by an agitation against the
whole policy Of Regents park. I'M
April, 1841, Lord Nugent presented AM
address to the queen from the neigh
boring parishes praying her majesty
to throw the entire park open to the!
public. The queen personally investi-,
gated the subject and came to the con-
clusion that the rights of the publicl
had been grossly violated. BY her orr
ders the whole park was thrown open
on August Is, 1S41, and simultaneously
the government purchased Primrosei
hill from the Elton college estate and
added it to the park.
The connection Of the Geological So
ciety with the park dates from 1928,
and the collection of animals was
swelled by transferring the royal
collection in the Tower thither in
1884. 1t may be added that the zoo
never really caught on with the public
until the immense excitement created
by the arrival of the first hippopota-
mus in 1850. The Royal Botanic So
ciety was granted the use of the in
ner circle in 1910 and at once reward
ed the privilege by erecting high
mounds of earth to insure privacy.
There have been but few eventful
episodes in the history of Regents
park. Unlike Hyde park, it has never
been the scene of riots, great political
demonstrations, military displays or
public festivities.

dred dollars to own one of these new
ermine wraps. 1t may be said, how.
every, to the comfort of those who
bought fur coats last season or the
season before, that there is very little
radical change in the cut of the more
serviceable fur coats this season, and
that, except for the addition of a con-
trasting collar, your caracul, seal or
pony coat of last season will need no
alterations whatever.
Ermine will be very fashionable this
year, especially IN combination with
moleskin and various black furs. En-
mine and moleskin are considered the
most suitable evening furs, although,
of course, sable-known also as zibe-
line-is always appropriate at any
time. Moleskin, although some au-
thorities say it's day has passed. is
so graceful and pliable that it will still
hold it's own.
Natural color caracul is another n
of the seasons fancies. A beautiful
muff recently displayed in a Fifth ave-
nue. window was of black fox, banded
on the edge and through the middle
with natural color caracul. With black
fur this caracul in it's natural hue is
exceedingly effective.
The furs used for mourning are pre-!
eminently lynx, with broad-tail and
monkey next in favor. Although none
of the furs of a brownish hue are con.
sidered suitable for mourning, mole
skin is considered most appropriate
for half mourning this year.
The most fitting furs for children
pensive furs being considered hardly
in good form for the youngsters. ,
Aside from the usual sale Of fur,
muffs, collars and cloaks of various
descriptions, there will be an enor-
mous amount of fur trimming used
this year. Most of the diaphanous
evening gowns will have fur trim
ming, and the exquisite evening wraps,
of brilliant brocaded silks and chif-
fons, are frequently edged with sable
or ermine. M%illiners, too, never made
better use of fur. The seasons hats
sometimes show two furs charmingly
combined.
Small fur bags, to match coat or
muff, are to be used this year Most
Of the bags are envelope shape, with
fur handles and wide flaps, fastened
with a pearl clasp. Some of the bags
have metal mountings and long silk
cord handles.

No Strangers Allowed.

Frank H. Hitchcock, the postmaster
general of the United States, takes the
deepest interest in even the smallest
details of the postal service. One eve
ming he was at the Union station in
Washington, when he decided to go
into one of the railway mail service
cars to see how the mail matter was
being handled. Being a tall man and
very athletic, he easily swung himself
from the platform into the car, but he
did not find it an easy matter to stay
put. A burly postal clerk grabbed
him by the shoulders, propelled him
toward the side door, and practi-
cally elected him to the platform be-
low.
What do you mean by that?" ask
ed Hitchcock Indignantly.
Il mean to keep you out of this
car" replied the clerk roughly. THAT
fellow Hitchcock has given US strict
orders to keep all strangers out of
these cars."-Popular Magazine.

ORNAMENTS FOR THE CLOAK
Imitation Roses Of Daintily Woven
Silk Threads Are the Most Popu-
lar Just Now.

Have you mastered the art of dainti-
ly twisting and gathering soft silk un-
til one looks with wonder on what
seems a perfect rose? Then you can
make a thoroughly desirable garniture
for your newest evening wrap.
Let it be of whatever hue you on
slider most becoming, but make for
its bedecking either one very large or
two more moderately sized silken
roses, pompon fashion.
They can either be double or of that
s~emi-double type which reveals a heart
of gold. says the New York Herald,
and they are used to define the grace
fully draped fold which conceals the
fastening together of the two sides di-
rectly in front. AS If slightly gath
ered up with the finger tips, each of
the loose coat fronts should be caught
with one of the roses, and the outer
petals, half crushing together, cover
the real fastening which catches the
coat 'front.' securely in place.

WESTERN CANADA'S
PROSPERITY
NOT A BOOM, BUT DUE TO NAT
URAL DEVELOPMENT.

One Of the largest banks in Holland
has been doing a big business in
Western Canada, and Mr.. w. Wester-
man, the President, on a recent visit
into the Provinces Of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta, expressed
himself as being much impressed with
present conditions and prospects, and
was convinced that the great pros
perity of the Dominion was not a
boom, but merely the outcome of nat
ural developments.
Not only has money been invested
largely in Western Canada by the
Holland Banks, but by those of Ger
many, France, as well as Great Brit
ain. Not only are these countries con-
.ributing money, but they are also
contributing people, hard headed, in
dustrious farmers, who are helping to
produce the two hundred million bush
els Of wheat and the three hundred
million bushels Of the other small
grains that the Provinces Of the
West have harvested this season.
During the past fiscal year there
came into Canada from the United
States 1870; from Austria Hungary
21,651; from Belgium 1901; Holland
LOTT; France 1904; Germany 1864;
Sweden 1884; Norway 1892; and
from az countries the immigration to
Canada in that year was 354, 237.
From the United States and foreign
countries the figures will be increased
during the present year.
Most Of these people have gone to
the farms, and it is no far look to the
time when the prophecy will be full
filed of half a billion bushel crop of
wheat in Western Canada. Advertise

that prices of pelts Of almost every

Fashion Note.

Lady Duff Gordon, at a tea at the
Ritz-Carlton, praised the pannier skirt.
Everybody likes it, it is so grace
full" she said, smiling. Everybody
likes it except crusty old fellows"
She turned to a crusty old fellow
upon a Louis Seize chair beside her
and continued:
Il know a woman whose husband
growled at her when she tried on a
new pannier gown for him:
81 don't see why you wear those
ridiculous big panniers. You haven't
got the hips to fill them
THE woman blushed and bit her
lip. Then she said quietly:
"But do you fill your silk hat,
George?'"

NO MEDICINE
But Change of Food Gave Final Relief.

Most diseases start in the alimen.
tary canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any
of the starchy food we eat-white
bread, pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.
these things are digested in the small
intestines, and if we eat too much, as
most of us do, the organs that should
digest this kind of food are overcome
by excess of work, SO that fermenta-
ton, indigestion, and a long train OF
ails result.
Too much fat also is hard to digest
and this Is changed into acids, sour
stomach, belching gas, and a bloated,
heavy feeling.
In these conditions a change from
tndigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress but in building up a
strong digestion, clear brain and
steady nerves. A Wash. woman
writes:
About five years ago I suffered
with bad stomach-dyspepsia, indiges-
ton. constipation-caused, l know
now, from o%vereating starchy and
greasy food.
II doctored for two years without
any benefit. The doctor told me there
was no cure for me. I could not eat
anything without suffering severe
pain in my back and sides, and be-
came discouraged.
"A friend recommended Grape-Nuts
and | began to use 1t. In less than
two weeks l began to feel better and
inside of two months 1 was a well
woman and have been ever since,
Il can eat anything l wish with
pleasure. We eat Grape-Nuts and
ream for breakfast and are very
fond Of it." Name given by Postum

Pretty Window Curtains.

For the home where guests are al
ways arriving and departing there
is nothing quite so nice for the win
dows as white cotton crepe. This can
be simply hemmed or trimmed with

For the dressers and bureaus COW

very satisfactory. This can be cut
into the required sizes and the edges
buttonholed in scallops.
Two sets of curtains and covers
should be kept OF hand, one in use

THE RIGHT SOAP FOR BABY'S
SKIN

In the care of baby's skin and hair,
Cuticura Soap is the mothers IA
vorite. Not only is it unrivaled in
purity and refreshing fragrance, but
its gentle emollient properties are
usually sufficient to allay minor irri-
t%ations, remove redness, roughness
and chafing, soothe sensitive condi-
tons, and promote skin and hair
health generally. Assisted by Cuti-
cura Ointment, it is most valuable in
the treatment of eczemas, rashes and
other itching, burning infantile erup-
tons. Cuticura Soap wears to a wafer,
often ~outlasting several cakes Of ordi-
nary soap and making its use most
economical.

When lace is added to a round dolly,
this may be a help, says the Ladies'
Home Journal: Measure the exact
quantity of lace needed, match the
pattern and join the edges. Double
the lace and roll it end to end; then
wrap the straight or inside edge tight
ly with a cord to half the width Of
the lace. Dip the cord end in water
to shrink it. Lay it aside until dry,
then remove the cord and unroll. The
lace will be circular and may easily
be sewed to the dolly.
