Florists Assert City Supply Has Tend
enoy to Change Flowers Color.
Florists of Evanston, ILL.,, assert that
the city water, which is purified with
hypochloride of lime, is changing yell
low chrysanthemums to an ashen col
or, white roses to pink and carnations
to almost every shade but the one they
should be.
The commissioner Of public works.
with whom the florists took up the
matter, said the water had nothing to
do with changing the colors Of the
flowers.
The florists will make an effort to
keep the city from placing lime in the
water and assert they will have the
aid of the women, who some time ago
complained that the water was bleach
ing their hair.

Pink Crepe skirts.

Negligees and petticoats matching
are everywhere to be had in pink
crepe de chine; one perfectly plain
one unlined, with very scant elbow
sleeves, is finished with the border
of white elder down; it is priced at
s7.95, and could be made more sue
cessfully for about half the amount at
home. Another model is of pink char
meuse, draped with white chiffon and
trimmed with rever effect in shadow
lace, which is caught in with a ros-
ette of the chiffon at one side of the
skirt, but this gown is spoiled by a
fowered white satin girdle. For those
who care to dress little out of the
ordinary run of apparel there is a
boudoir gown Of greenish yellow near
ly of mustard tone. Its material is
crepe de chine, and, of course, stock
ings of silk and garters of satin, and
the petticoat is to be had matching.
Almost all the boudoir slips are of
clear white lace. A woman may make
herself very charming in the present
styles in her boudoir.

SERVICE AT AFTERNOON TEA
Flower Basket to Hold the Cakes 10
One Of the Best of the Ideas
Recently Evolved.

For the woman who loves a cup of
tea in the afternoon and who also
likes small cookie or cheese cracker
or some such tid-bit to nibble while
slipping her tea, there is a new sug-
gestion in the way of serving the wa
fers and cakes.
Often even sandwich plate will be
too small to hold as many crackers
as are needed when three or four
friends drop in for a cup of tea and
gossip, and for this flower basket,
the style that is fiat with 8 tall handle,
generally used for the garden when
picking flowers. is just the thing, for
it holds most surprising number of
cakes, and in this way one can easily
pass a large number of tid-bits at one
time without the least Inconvenience,
and for crackers, decorated with jelly
and cheese and such edibles as cannot
be laid on top of each other, this fiat
basket is unsurpassed.

Something more than a mere desire
for change has brought about the
use of white for those in mourning.
1t is the expression of a changing at
titude of the mind toward this mat
ter of mourning apparel. White is
not somber or oppressive to others
and therefore will make the most un-
obtrusive mourning. For the past
three seasons black hats of Grape (or
other fabrics trimmed with crape)
have been duplicated in white and it
is probable that the idea has been
well received because the most au-
thoritative shops continue to show
white mourning.
For the summer season wells are
made of net bordered with Grape.
Those for first mourning are large
but cool and light, nevertheless. The
very large. coarse mesh with wide
Grape border either in black or white,
can be worn without any incon-
venience. 1t is probable that white
Grape and other mourning fabrics in
white will make rapid progress in
popular favor now that they are we'll

introduced. White Grape is a very
beautiful fabric and the process OF
water proofing to which English
Grape is subjected has made it prac-
tical.
A turban and veil are pictured
here developed in white. The turban
is of crepe Georgette with veil of rich
net bordered with white English
Grape. There is no trimming on the
turban but the Grape border on the
veil pinned to the front of the turban
and turned back provides a beautiful
decoration.
Almost a duplicate of this model is
shown in black These serve to
demonstrate that 1t is now simply a
matter of choice between black and
white mourning. The introduction of
Grape in the body of the hat or in
the veil or trimming is significant of
mourning and makes these models
appropriate for first or deep mourn
ing. Grape is the only fabric every
where acknowledged as correct for
this purpose.

HINT AT P0LONAISE EFFECT
New Gowns Show Signs of Revival of
Old Fashion That May Again
Become Popular.

A few of the new gowns go back TO
the remote epoch of the polonaise.
The coats Of the last season, with
their deep round pointed backs and
long curved fronts, have paved the
way so that the transition to the pol
onaise does not seem surprising.
Whether or not it will be more than
tentative experiment remains to be
seen. But at any rate the experiment
is being made.
The saying, "Other times, other
manners" is nowhere more sure Of
its application than in the realms of
fashions So it is quite to be expect
ed that these Twentieth Century Of
ferings in the polonaise should have
their own distinguishing features. In
one case where the polonaise is of
deep pink panne velvet worn over a
white charmeuse slip it is extended in
the back to form a pointed train. A
girdle of silver gauze crosses outside
the velvet in the back, but is drawn
through openings several inches from
the front edges of the polonaise and
then continued in soft folds across
the bust, forming the front of the cor
sage. This polonaise and that Of fifty
years ago are decidedly not the same
thing, but their common origin is I'M
mistakable.

TRUCK GARDENING

THESE, AS WELL AS OTHER
MIXED FARMING BRANCHES,
PAY IN WESTERN CANADA.

Truck gardening and poultry grow
ing are two branches of agriculture
in which the farmers near the main
lines of the three transcontinental
lines traversing Western Canada arel
much concerned. The abundance OF
sunshine during the long days from
May to September, and adequate mois"
ture in the spring and early summer
permit of wide variety of crops The
soil is rich and warm and is easily
worked. Close attention to cultiva-
tion has resulted in record yields Of
all sorts of vegetable and small fruits
which bring good prices in the cities
and at the numerous railway construc
ton camps.
Mr.. Harris Oium, an Alberta farmer,
came from South Dakota eleven years
ago and homesteaded the first 160
acres in his township in 1902, which

cattle each year. He has 200 hogs,
mostly pure bred Poland China, %

successfully. Radium foulards have
