reason is not far to seek. Women
will have handsome furs, and the de-
mand has devastated the ranks Of the
f~ur-bearing animals whose pelts are
most valued.
Chinchilla Is growing rarer and
rarer, and before long will probably
be impossible to obtain. Fine sables,
silver fox, seal, ermine, b~reitschwang,
all are rising in price as they dimin-
ish in quantity. Each year the max
ers of fashion take up some n OF
the less expensive furs and make it
a fad, in order that the average wom-
an may find in the modishness Of a
fur she cal buy some compensation
for the fact that the best of the furs
are beyond her reach.
The small furs are varied and at
tractive this year, and while some OF
the models are ~undeniably freakish
there are few without charm. There
is a decided liking for the little col
larettes and neck scarfs Of fur.
These are often trimmed with loops
of ribbon held in place by a jeweled
buckle. Some Of these little collar
cites are made of a combination OF
long and short haired fur.

sinking of the vessel with a loss of $50

CHILDREN CUT OFF BY TIDE
Thirty Youngsters Rescued on the
Coast of England After Trying
Experience.

London.-More thar 80 children.
years, were trapped by the tide while
playing OF some rocks at New Brlgn-
ton and narrowly escaped drowning.
They were rescued with considerable
difficulty by men who were at one
time up to their shoulders in water.
The children were members of a
party Of little slum jewellers from
Liverpool who were enjoying a day at
the seaside.
They were playing in the vicinity OF
the Perch Rock Battery n failed
to notice the incoming tide. They
were quickly surrounded by the sea,
and their position was one Of peril.
Some of them succeeded in reaching
the shore without assistance, but the
majority were panic-stricken, and
their rea attracted a large crowd
Of people.
Four shore horsemen and w. H. s.
Oulton, revising barrister for Liver
pool, went pluckily to the rescue and
brought the children to the shore in
pairs.
Their work was rendered exception
ally difficult in consequence Of the
t~TeacherOus nature Of the rocks, which
were covered with slippery moss. Sew
eral times they slipped and grazed
their legs, but the children escaped
injury.
One Of the rescuers missed his foot
ing and fell into a deep hole, but was
pulled out by another
The work Of the rescue lasted half
an hour. and by the time the last Of
the children was brought ashore the
water was up to the shoulders of the
men and a foot or two above the
rocks.
Mr.. Oulton, who rescued Is chill
dren, stated in an interview that great
difficulty was experienced. and the
children repeatedly shouted, Shall we
be saved?"
81 fell several times he added.
but saved the children I was a
rying from injury"
One Of thu horsemen, George Clarke,
who brought II children ashore, said
he never thought it possible that all
could be rescued before the tide
washed them off the rocks.

ETIQUETTE OF THE DANCE
Small Points That Show Girl Is Fa-

Polite Society.

Remember that when you are in.
troduced to a man at a dance 1t is
quite incorrect to shake hands with
him. You would do SO If you met at,
say, a dinner party, but in the ball
room you merely bow.
Keep your program somewhere
about you where you can get it out in
a minute for any man who asks you
for a dance. Nothing is more awk,
ward for both parties than a lengthy
pause while the girl untwists h cord
Of her program from the sticks of her
fan, or coaXes the card out of the re-
cesses Of an underskirt pocket.
Don't wander about in search OF
your partner at the beginning of a

Bright cOlors, and anything that
jingles upon being shaken, always ap-

give a sketch Of a little toy that was
a great success, and was made with
the aid of a silver bangle, some bright

some little bells.
Each bell is attached to a small loop
Of narrow ribbon. the ends Of which
are tied tightly on to the bangle in a

BRACELETS OF. BLACK VELVET
Fad That Has Been X Up arc
Endorsed by the Leaders OF
Paris Society.

It has now become fashionable IN
Paris to wear 2 broad bracelet of black
velvet on the left arm. 1t fits the
wrist snugly and is held in place by a
large Of small diamonds
bedded in platinum.
Everywhere one ices this ~ orna-
ment worn on the arm with an eve
ming costume. 1t is far more consplc-
uous than a jeweled bracelet and
serves to cover the ugliest part of a
woman's arm, which is the bone at the
wrist.
By the way, black ornaments are be-
coming more fashionable each day.

for evening gowns, the black oilcloth
rose for afternoon gowns and morning

CANADA WINS AGAIN
This Time at the International
Soil Products in Oklahoma.

Last wear and the year before, ana
tba wear before that, the farm prod
nets of Western Canada carried OH
first premiums, championships and
honours together with medals n al
plomas, feats that were likely TO give
a swelled head to any other people
than those who had SO much more pc
hind At Columbus, Ohio, and then
again at Columbia, North Carollna, a
farmer of Saskatchewan carried OIL
the highest prize for oats, ana III dh-
other year. will become the pOsseSsor
Of the $500 Colorado Trophy; anoth-
or farmer made two successful ex-
hibits of wheat at the biggest shows
in the United States; another farmer
of Manitoba won championships and
sweepstake at the live stock SHOW IN
Chicago, and this year expects 10 du-
pliCate his successes Of last year
These winnings are the more credlta-
hIe as none of the cattle were ever fed
any corn, but raised and fattened on
nature grasses and small grains.
At the Dry Farming Congress held
at Lethbridge in 1912, Alberta and
saskatchewan, farmers carried on
the principal prizes competing with
the world. The most recent winnings
! of Canada have been made at Tulsa,
Oklahoma, where seven of the eigh-
teen sweepstakes rewards at the In
ternational Soil Products Exposition
were taken by Canada in competition
with eleven states.
The chief prize, a thrash1ng ma
chine, valued at $1,000 for the best
bushel of hard wheat, went to Peter
Gerlack of Allan, Saskatchewan. Mon
tana took foul Of the sweepstakes,
Oklahoma four, and Nebraska two.
Russia sent one delegate, Spain
had two, Belgium three, China four,
Canada fifty, Mexico five, Norway one'
Brazil three.
In the district in which the wheat
was grown that won this prize, there
were thousands of acres this year that
would have done as well. Mr.. Gerlack
r is to be congratulated as we'll as the
Province of Saskatchewan, and West
ern canada as a whole, for the great
success hat has been achieved in
both grain and cattle.-Advertisement-

Lace Cater Tops.

Lace CATERS are the newest wrinkle
in tops for fine shoes. They are of
white baby Irish mesh overlaid with
applied white medallions, and are fas-
tened at one side of the ankle with a
row OF large, fiat white pearl buttons
fitting buttonholes embroidered in the
lace. Although looking rather fragile,
they really are quite substantial, and
unlike many sorts of white gaiter-tops,
can be easily cleaned. But they are
exceptionally dressy-looking and only
suitable with a theater or a r~estaur-
ant costume.

To Weight Sashes.

Now that sasnes promise to be so
popular this season, the idea which
one girl found very helpful in weight
ing these long ends, should be passed
on to others. She took a penny and
encased it in the same color silk she
intended for the sash, and then at
tached it near to the end. She then
had an original, but very satisfactory
weight for each sash end.
