AS TOTA|LOR MADES
Basque Coat Is Seen Everywhere
on These Costumes.
Revival of the Newmarket and the
Directoire is Also Noted-Trim-
ness Always the Main Thing
70 Be Attained.

ANEW YORK.-Every woman is at
III present discussing the new tail
~ or mades. They loom so large
on the modistic horizon and the
details are just now so enthralling
that there is scarcely u tea table
where the subject does not rise to the
surface above the clatter of the tea
cups during the hour between 4:30
and $3.50. These, too, who have been
too precipitate in choosing their out
fits for the coming months are repent
ing at leisure, in view of the tempt
ing models over which the tailor is
expending much thought and atten-
ton
The basque coat is making its APP
pearance to such an extent that il can
no longer be ignored. Everywhere
one sees it
The accordion plated basque has
struck the newest note of all. IL is
chiefly TO be seen in conjunction with
the velvet suit, and is. of course. only
possible to the woman of tall. slight
figure. who has nothing TO fear from
the introduction OF superfuouS tnll~
ness, the basque being about fourteen
inches deep anS plated as closely as
the young debutante's ball gown of the
eighties. In nearly every other case
the fronts of ihe basque are cut
away, while there is more than a mere
suggestion of tle Newmarket coat
which was worn twenty-five years
ago. l.. the pocket flaps which ap-
pear on the seam of the basque, the
manner in which the latter is split up
in the middle of the back, and in the
trim tautness of the whole costume.
With the revival of the Newmarket
there is, beside, the revival of the d.
rectoirc. The tall. slim woman looks
her best in the little cutaway coat,

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 a striking
manner the prosperity of the country,
and deal with economic matters in a
frat 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
~ 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 basis for
extended credit. but this is not felt to
be a 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 10 q 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 l.ashburn. Sask..
is a farmer named Clarke who in 1912
secured n crop of Marquis Wheat,
yielding 76 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 S5 to 45 bushels of wheat to the
acre Oats, too, we're success

crop Wheat that would yield 40
bushels per acre, would bring on the
market zoe Ia fair figurel per bushel,
a gross return OF $500 per acre AL
low $1,000 per acre tan outside figure)
there would be a 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 $500
per acre.
The latest Government returns give
an approximate estimate Of four hun.
dred thousand of an immigration TO
Canada during 1912. OF this number
100000 win be from the United States
Most OF these are OF the farming class
and 1t is not difficult to understand
why farming lands in Canada will ad

lands is not looked upon as being In
