WEAR YOUR CLOTHES EASILY
Getting This Effect ls More to the
Purpose Than Simply the Wear
Ing Of Rich Clothing.

A little while ago Frenchman
said that English women were get
ting 30 that they wore their clothes
more easily than they used to. He
rejoiced at the fact. Women should
wear their clothes easily A beauti-
full gown worn stiffy is no better
than an ugly gown worn graciously
In fact, the beautiful gown in this
case ia not so good as the other.
Was there ever any sight more dis
tressing than that of simple woman
dressed in all her Sunday best? Her
clothes were well enough. They were
we'll made and of good material. But
she looked afraid of them and wore
them stiffy. How much better she
looked in bingham house dress, with
apron and sunbonnet, perhaps to
match.
And then there is the economical
young girl who wears her best
clothes always as If she had their
value In mind and was trying to take
care of them. She smoothes them
out and holds them we'll away from
furniture and neighbors, that they
the clothes--may not be contaminated
by touching anything. A young girl
always looks better In simple frock.
comfortably and therefore gracefully
worn, than in really elaborate frocE
which she wears stiffly.
Lovely clothes should be worn JOY
ously, even indiffetently. 1t is not
hard to do this now, for clothes are
soft and clinging and graceful, and re-
fuse to let their wearers look stin
and careful" So now, while fashion
is with you, cultivate the art OF wear
ing your clothes as II they were glad
you had them, as if they were Joy,
not a burden, to you.

NEW TAILORED SUITS

Departure From the Mannish Feature
10 Noted-Tendency to Drapery
on Both Skirts and Coats
Much Fur VIII Be Used.

Fall tailored suits will be character

model is to be noted among the new
consignments, but for the most part
they are more on the costume order.
and, although plain and exceedingly
well tailored, nevertheless have a
more formal appearance than the coat
and skirt OF other seasons.
Much fur will be used, and there
is decided tendency to drape not
only the skirts but the coats, or at
least to have them hint of drapery.
Skirts are still narrow at the foot, but
usually have some fullness, variously
arranged, at the top-that is, there
may be few gathers distributed
along the sides only or across the back
and front or strung informally around
the top, and there is usually a break

Every staunch Catholic knows, says
writer in the Catholic Advance, the
longing, in most instances never to be
satisfied, of bringing someone into the
Church, of being the visible, human
efficient agent of souls regenera-
ton.
Sometimes the methods pursued
bear the marks of zeal rather than
discretion, and too often the end
sought is defeated by a distorted
presentation, with the best intentions
in the world, of truths too subtle and
too profound for the average mind
Again time and place are not pro-
pitious. A certain unfortunate son of
Ireland when in his cups goes about
threatening to break the head of any
one who insults the Pope, and pro-
claiming that he is a Catholic, it is
not sure that he does not claim to be
a good Catholic, and calling loudly
upon his associates to come into the
Fold.
Again there is lack of zeal.

LAKE JoGUES.
Proposal to Honor the Name of the
Martyred Jesuit.

The summer residents of the little
village of Lake George, situated at the
head of the famous lake in New York,
are practically unanimous in favor of
a change of name for the place; but
they are undecided as to what the new
name should be. The villagers insist
that no change be made, and are OPP
posing the summer residents by every
means in their power. 1t is an old
quarrel.
We are surprised that no one seems
to have thought of Lake Jogues as an
easy and appropriate change from
Lake George. 1t was discovered by
the martyr missionary of the Mohawks
on the eve of Corpus Christi, 1916,
and named by him Lac Saint Sacre-
ment-a name which was retained for
a century The change from George to
Jogues for the lake was first suggested
many years ago by DR.. John Culinary
Shea, and seconded by Francis Park
man in a footnote to this glowing pas
sage in one of his best-known
volumes:
First of white men, Jogues and his
companions gazed on the romantic
lake that bears the name, not of its
gentle discoverer, but of the dull Han
overian king. Like fair naiad of the
wilderness, it slumbered between the
guardian mountains that breathe from
crag and forest the stern poetry Of
war But all then was solitude; and
the clang of trumpets, the roar of can
non, and the deadly crack of the rifle
had never as yet awakened their
angry echoes"
Concluding his narration of Pere
Jogues cruel martyrdom-which, &C.
Cured on the 18th of October-the
Protestant historian writes:
THUS died Isaac Jogues, one of the
purest examples of Roman Catholic
virtue which this Western Continent
has seen. The priests, his associates,
praise his humility, and tell us that it
reached the point of self-contempt-a
browning virtue in their eyes; that he
regarded himself as nothing, and lived
solely to do the will of God as uttered
by the lips of his superiors. They add
that, when left to the guidance of his
own judgment, his self-distrust made
him very slow of decision; but that
when acting under orders he knew
neither hesitation nor fear. With all
his gentleness, he had certain
warmth or vivacity of temperament;
and we have seen how, during his first
captivity, while humbly submitting to
every caprice of his tyrants, and ap,
pearing to rejoice in abasement, a de-
risive word against his Faith would
change the lamb into the lion, and the
lips that seemed so tame would speak
in sharp, bold tones of menace and
reproof."

HOW ROVER WAS CURED,

Whats the matter, Jack?"
For when grandpa came into the
yard there was Jack sitting on the
doorsteps fondling Rover and crying
big round tears.
ooh! grandpa" sobbed the boy
papa says Rover will have to be
killed if he doesn't stop eating eggs,
and we can't break him of it."
Eyes, you can" said grandpa, cheer,
lily. Put cayenne pepper into an egg
and let him find it."
I'VE have, and mustard and horse
radish and every bad thing we could
think of, he eats 'em just the same.
Grandpa thought for a minute. ''Do
you know where your fathers powder
flask isl"
Yes
Get it for me, and some matches
and an egg"
Jack had them all on hand in jiffy.
Grandpa sprinkled powder in circle
yard or so in diameter on the porch
near the kitchen door, put the egg in
to the center, sent Jack to a safe dis
lance to see the fun, then going inside
the door stopped down with the match
in hand to watch around the corner
for the exact minute to light it.
Rover saw the egg and walked UP
to eat it, but just as his nose touched
it grandpa applied the match to the
powder.
F'izz! Bang!
The egg lay unframed, but they saw
Rover only as black streak going for
the barn, the worst scared dog in ten
towns.
1t was hours before he came out in
sight, and though he lived till he was
old, blind and deaf he never touched
an egg again.

like that of Southern California, melt
all the ice on and around the north
pole and open it to truck gardening.
To do so will be cheaper, much easier
and twice as quickly done as to build
the Panama canal, says the New York
Herald.
All that is necessary to accomplish
these results, some of which would re-
suit from tipping the old earth side
ways, is to build a riprap jetty about
200 miles long across the shoals eX-
tending eastward from Newfoundland,
near Cape Race. That would stop the
Labrador current, whose cold is cap
able of making 100000 tons of ice
every second, from running right into
the Gulf stream, whose heat is equal
to the burning of 100000 tons of
coal every minute. They meet now
on the Grand Bank, where the water
is only about $50 feet deep. The Gulf
stream is split up and spreads out
over millions of square leagues of the
Atlantic.
If such jetty were built the Labra.
dor current coming down from the
Arctic would be turned eastward, and
would be sunk so far when the Gulf
stream met it that the latter warm
blue river of the ocean would pass
over the great cold river from the
north pole The warm Gulf stream
would continue in almost undimin
ished volume to the northward and
the Labrador current would run a
mile deep through the great depths OF
the Atlantic making the torrid zone
about the equator cooler, while the
Gulf stream would require only three
months to melt every inch of ice
around the pole.
Fantastic though this may appear
it has received the closest interest
from the foremost men of practical
science in America and other coun
tries. Every detail of the astounding
enterprise has been worked out by
Carroll Livingston Riker of Brooklyn
who has made critics swallow theil
scornful prophecies in other enter
prises He built at 81 Dey Street, in
1874, the first mechanical refrigerat

Grating plant on board the steamship
Celtic, which carried to Liverpool the

ever landed there.
He designed and constructed the
first ice and cold air refrigerating ma
chine ever constructed. He wa:
called visionary when he proposed
each of these, which have proved
pioneers in the great industrial equip
