BUT ONE SCENT PERMITTED
Fastidious Woman Knows Better Than
to overdo This Essential of the
Toilet Table.

There is value in perfumes as q
safeguard against contagion, but most
women of refinement never oyerdo
this use, but confne it to delicate
fragrance that never offends, as do
gross common scents. The dainty
woman selects q special perfume and
uses this only in all her toilet articles,
and 1t is a fad to select the fragrance
of some flower that corresponds with
the fayorite color. She also has her
satchets, perfume, toilet water, pow
der and soapfto correspond
If any change is made it includes
everything on the dressing table, for
good taste DEGREES that only one ia
vored scent is permissible for each in
dividuaL While a little really fine
essence is delightful, a thimbleful of
coarse alcoholic mixtures is disgust
ing to any sensitive nostril. Satchets
of all sorts are very much used, from
large padded Innings for shelf, drawer
or wardrobe, to smaller and more per-
sonal satchets that are tucked into
the bodice or hidden in the leaf of the
satin corsage flower SO generally
worn.

New Fashion.

A charming fashion recently revived
at the Paris opera consists in pinning
a couple of flowers upon the bodice
of the simply draped gowns in white
or black charmeuse. But these floral
trimmings do not adapt themselves
to the magnificent models in embroi-
dered velvets, brocaded satins and
gauzes recently launched upon the
stage, nor do they figure on beaded
creations. In the latter case the
yelled effects in spangled tulle and
lace, the draperies and the Innings
of damask and charmeuse give the
required ornamentation to these beau
tiful toilets.

HATS CATCH POPULAR FANCY

beth" Have won Much Favor
Here and in England.

The woman who admires the pic
turesque in hats will admire the
Drake" and Queen Elizabeth hats.
The former, with fiat, full tam-o'-
shanter crown, plumes sweeping to
the shoulder, is predominant note
in winter millinery. Velvet quilts to
match the crown and brim edged with
narrow feather fringe are also pop
ular form of trimming. Corbeau blue
and vandyke brown are favored col
ors for the Drake hat
The unlucky aigrette, despite the eff
forts to make it questionable, is en-
joying no respite. Prices have soar
ed to a fabulous figure, and it is used
to trim many of the smartest Drake"
models. 5 .es
The Queen Elizabeth h hat has the
sides of the brim curving upward An
exquisite example of this variety was
of chestnut.brown velvet, with a white
plume sweeping over the side, This
was caught with ieweled ornament.

Waist Pattern Help.

A waist pattern should be fitted
right side out-as it is to be worn
Almost everyone has some variation
in the two sides of the figure. One
shoulder will be trifie higher than
the other and the nip on the opposite
side a trifle lower than its mate, re-
sulting in a slightly longer wasted
underarm seam on that side than on
the other. Now. if you fit the waist
wrong side out, when you have
stitched the seams and put it on right
side out the fitting will be exactly
reversed. The high shoulder will be
in the side of the waist that was fitted
to the low shoulder

The Smile.

The girl who smiles too much makes
as great mistake as she who smiles
too little, for though she may be only
actuated by an honest desire to
please. she lays herself open to the
charge OF insincerlty. A smile can
transform plain face into loneliness,
but it only does this when it is the
outcome Of some special emotion, and
not mere aimless parting of the lips.
Smiling to order or on any and ev-
cry occasion, is fatal to charm, and
should be carefully avoided.

which time and money are being law

ming shoes and buckles. For the for

damasks are employed and in colors
to match the gowns, white and gold

plain satin, but two loops of black vel
vet ribbon are seen coming from the
latter beneath the buckle. Satin flow
ers supply a touch of color.

Waist for a Velvet SUR.

Another blouse designed to wear
with a brown velvet skirt has in the
front and back bib-like pieces of the
velvet, which also forms the epau-
lettes. The body Of the waist is of
soft, subdued blue chiffon, tucked in
clusters. The front piece Of the vel
vet is cut low to display yoke en-
,hroidered in shades Of browns and
blues, and the inevitable touch of fur
is given by bands of skunk, which
mark the shoulder lines and finish the
tucked chiffon sleeves, which barely
reach over the elbow. e

The BANKS
Of CANADA

The closing OF the year 1912 has
brought out the usual bank statements
accompanied by the addresses of the
Presidents and General Managers OF
these institutions. Their reading is
interesting as they show in striking
manner the prosperity OF the country,
and deal with economic matters in a
first hand way. Those who know any
thing of Canadian banking methods
know the stability of these institu-
tons, and the high character OF the
men who are placed in charge. In
discussing the land situation the Pres
ident of the Union Bank of Canada,
whose branches are to be found in all
parts of the Canadian West, said:-
"a good deal has been said about
speculation in land. The increase in
land values has added enormously to
the assets of Western business, and
has to some extent formed q basis for
extended credit, but this is not felt to
be drawback when the value is real
and convertible. We consider that a
business standing which is strength
ened and enhanced by property hold
ings is entitled to a reasonable en-
largement of credit for legitimate bust
ness operations"
1t will thus be seen that the banks
recognize the certain rise in the value
of farm lands in Western Canada
When the facts are known of the Won
derful producing qualities Of farm
lands in the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, it is sim
pie to understand the liberal stand
taken by the banks.
Living not far from Lashburn, Sask.,
is q farmer named Clarke who in 1912
secured crop of Marquis Wheat
yielding &c bushels per acre. This
is spoken of as a record yield, and this
is doubtless true. but several cases
have been brought to notice where
yields almost as large have been pro-
duced, and in different parts OF the
country. During the past year there
have been reported many yields of
from 35 to As bushels OF wheat to the
acre. Oats, too, were q success
full crop, and SO was the barley
crop. Wheat that would yield 40
bushels per acre, would bring on the
market roc Ga fair figure) per bushel
a gross return of $500 per acre. Al
low $1,000 per acre Gan outside fgure)
there would be balance of $1,000 per
acre net profit. This figure should
satisfy anyone having land that cost
less than $4,000 per acre. Very much
less return than this proves satisfac-
tory to those holding lands in Iowa
and Illinois worth from $3.50 to 5000
per acre.
The latest Government returns give
an approximate estimate of four hum
bred thousand of an immigration to
Canada during 1912. OF this number
10000 will be from the United States.
Most of these are of the farming class
and it is not difficult to understand
why farming lands in Canada will adj
vance from ten to twenty per cent.
within the next twelve months. There
fore investment in Western Canadian
lands is not looked upon as being in
the speculative class. Those fortunate
enough to secure free homesteads in
Canada will acquire in the intrinsic
value of the land alone the best pos
sible start for a splendid future. Adj
vertisement.
