with high reputation and excellent
family connection. 1t conducted gen
eral and private banking and COM
pany for promoting business. The
directors include Ernest Chaplin, G..
Grinnell Milne and r. w. Skipwith.
Alleged Cause Of Failure.
The failure is believed to be the
result Of large operations in Grand
Trunk railway by Arthur Morton Gren-
fell, who was formerly a member Of
the firm and whose dealings recently
have been the subject of much gossip.
1t is said several Canadian and other
companies wherein he was interested
are involved. Earl Grey, whose daugh-
ter was Grenfell's first wife, is report
ed among the heavy losers.
Powerful banking and other interests
have been working for some weeks to
re-establish Grenfelfs affairs in the in
companies he controlled. The firm re-
Gently issued a notice that Grenfell had
not been connected there since February
II.
The affairs of the bank were largely
involved with those of the Canadian
Agency, Limited, which is controlled by
Arthur Grenfell He and the Canadian
Agency had been engaged in a campaign
for the purchase of a controlling interest
in the Grand Trunk railway, but when
NH
tons he had created by the purchase OF
large quantities of them were taken over
by strong group of financial houses, in
order to protect the many stock exchange
firms involved
Bank Suffers Losses.
The banks losses through loans to
Grenfell and Withdrawals of business
consequent on his operations caused the
bank to suspend. 1t is believed, however,
to be entirely solvent, but time will be
required to liquidate the assets. in order
that depositors may be paid Tine total
Of the deposits is understood to have been
greatly diminished in the past month
and the amount outstanding is believed to
be about 81 10000.
Further failures in connection with this
one are not expected.
Arthur Grenfell recently formed a syn
dictate for the purchase Of controlling
interest in the General Petroleum Com
pany of California and Earl Grey has
been visiting California in connection
with the negotiations. Grenfell is re.
firing from the transaction, which will
now be carried through by other mem
bers Of the group.
Classed as Daring Stock Operation.
The Grand Trunk transaction attempt
ed by Grenfell is considered as one. of
the most daring stock operations launch
ed here in years.
In the notice posted on the doors OF
the bank, which has been surrounded by
a crowd since morning, the firm expresses
regret at having to suspend business
and states that its books have been
placed in the hands of accountants to
prepare a statement.

Elaborate Features
of Evening Gowns

All ornamentation is expended on the
skirt of the dress. leaving the bodice al
most transparent. with a decolletage more
widely cut out than that of last season,
and with sleeves that are fairly non-eX-
| istent. The back of the dress is cut down
until its outline of lace almost touches
the belt Nor is that belt very high. for
the empire idea of the waist line is not in
first favor.
Skirts are tighter and trains are small
and narrow
There is new skirt, however, which is
quite likely to find favor. This is the
jupe-culotte. which, made in rich and
soft charmeuse, forms a very graceful
underskirt to an overdress of gold fish
net. having each mesh studded with small
pearls at its four corners. Bodices are
only touched with the heavier material,
which serves to relate the transparency
of the upper part. and with this skirt the
corsage is of the gold fishnet studded and
embroidered with pearls. Brilliants form
almost fringe on a skirt of net, for the
whole OF the top of it, which confines
the form of the wearer just trif1e, is one
immense butterfly, while the corsage is
also similarly decorated.
Pearls and brilliantS are used to form
long chains which are draped around
skirts or across the shoulders to give
some suggestion of a finish to the top of
the arm. The stitfly wired tunic, which
resembles lamp shade, is not at all
likely to find favor In Vienna it has
been modified and improved until its lines
are graceful. shorter to the front. longer
behind and formed of tulle plisse. lace
studded with brillants, sometimes outlin-
ed with a heavy ruche of tulle. Frocks of
silk, so soft that it might be pulled
through ring, are often. white for the
wear of young girls. Narrow little ruches
of black tulle border the tunic with trails
of rocco flowers embroidered above
them Three colors are usually intro
duced into the wide belt that stretches
we'll down over the hips and is sometimes
tied in Il fancy bow at the side or back.
This bow is said to be the precursor of
the hustle. which some designers would
have us believe will be the next move of.
fashion. Meantime some of the latest
frocks are punched behind with this bow,
velvet on silk having good effect.
A lovely tule frock might be light green
over white charmeuse Each frill is en-
broidered with pearls; latucework in
pearls is at the waist and sleeves. and the
bodice frlls pearl embroidered and
the plaque in front is of pearl-touched
lace. Another gown is in one of the rich
crepe de chine stuffs stiff with silver.
The bouffant is formed with silver cords,
with tassels which also hold the sleeves
and outline the bodice. The under part
of the skirt is tight and slit in front. q,

CornstarCh Desserts.

There is all the difference in the world
between good cornstarch desserts and the
other kind. And the secret OF making
good cornstarch desserts lies in having
the cornstarch thorough: cooked be-
fore adding it to the body of the dessert
1t is the raw taste of the cornstarch that
gives the carelessly made dessert its I'M
pleasant favor. In using cornstarch with
milk il should always be dissolved with
little of the milk and added to the re
maiuder OF the milk when it is boiling
The mixture then should be stirred till
thick and after that it should be cooked
in double boiler for twenty minutes.
CoRNSTARCH PUDDING.
This rule calls for one and half pints
of milk and three level teaSpoonfu!s OF
cornstarch with four tableSpoonfuls OF
graduated sugar. When this has been
cooked as directed above add the beaten
whites of three eggs and hair tea
spoonful of vanilla and turn into mold
to set.
This pudding can be served with a GUS
tard made of the yolks of the three eggs,
the whites of which have been used IN
the pudding or it may be served with
canned fruit \ good idea if canned fruit
is used is to drain a cupful of small
canned fruits and add them before the
pudding mixture is poured into the
can be used a sauce
HASTY PUDDING.
To make this pudding you will heed one
quart of milk and four teaspoonfuiS OF
cornstarch mixed and cooked as described
above. a saltspoonful Of salt should be
added with the milk and cornstarch.
When it is thoroughly cooked add one
tablespoonful of butter. beat well and
serve hot with hard sauce. This is ~an
eSDpciaIiy wholesome dish for children.
CHOCOLATE CoRNSTARCH DESSERT.
This rule calls for two cups of milk.
one-half cup of graduated sugar, one
square of unsweetened chocolate. two
tablespoonfuls of cornstarch and half a
pint of whipped cream. The milk and
sugar should first be thoroughly dissolved
in q double boiler Then the square of
chocolate should be added and melted
and stirred smooth. Then the corn
starch dissolved in little cold milk,
should be added to the hot mixture and
the whole cooked thoroughly for twenty
minutes. When il is thoroughly cooked
ii should be poured into cups TO harden,
and kept ice till needed. When need
ed the cups should be turned out on des-
sert plates. and topped off with a table
spoonful of whipped cream.
CoRNsTARCH APPLES.
Pare and core eight apples of uniform
size and then put them in stewpan
and pour over them one quart of water,
the juice and grated rind OF half lemon
and half cup of sugar. Boil this until
the apples are tender. Take them out
and put them in a baking dish. then boil
the strip left in the stewpan till it is
about half its original quantity. Then
stir into it one tablespoonful of corn
starch which has been mixed in little
cold water and cook till the substance is
clear. Then cook for ten minutes to
be sure the cornstarch is done. F'lavor
with lemon extract or lemon juice. and
pour the mixture over the apples. Sprinkle
with graduated sugar and brown few
minutes in a brisk oven.

ENTIRE SKELETON OF DOG
RELIC OF THE STONE AGE
Animal and Master Were Found To-
gether-Taxicab Fares in Rome.
Pellagra Theory.

ROME, March is. 1914.
The only complete skeleton in Italy, of
dog of the stone age, is now on view
in the Ancona Museum. The ANIMAL fol-
lowing its master, is believed to have
roamed the valley of the Pc several thou
sand years ago. Dog and man We're
buried together. and their bones are to-
day displayed in the ancient tomb from
which they were unearthed.
This ''canis palustris Rutineyer''-ro give
this ancient dog it's official name-evident-
II is a cross between the dog of today
and the iackal.
The skeleton of the man also is highly
interesting because of the peculiar manner
in which ii is hunched together. The
! thigh homes are bent over the abdomen
and the arms raised, with the hands over
the face. 1t thus shows a striking re-
Semblance to the skeletons of the same
period found in Egypt.
Small Charge by Taxicabs in Rome.
Taxicabs have made their appearance
in Rome, with scale of prices remark
able for their reasonableness. In the day
time the tariff is fourteen cents for the
first half mile and then two cents for
each additional six hundred feet At
I
and three cents respectively. Three per-
SONS may ride at these prices. Extra
persons above three pay eight cents a
trip. Two hundred of these vehicles al
ready are in operation and it is probably
only question of time when the well
known Roman one-horse cab will be d
thing of the past.
Says Pellagra Is Due to Parasite.
DR.. Luigi Lambon Of London is again
in Italy to prove his theory that pellagra
a disease akin to elephantiasis and some
times called Italian leprosy, is due to a
parasite in potable water.
DIR. Lambon is widely known for his
studies of malaria. He has devoted five
Years to tie study of pellagra, and he
has in his employ manservant suffering
with pellagra whom he is experiment
\ ing to prove his theory that the disease
| is neither contagious nor incurable. He
will devote his time here this spring al
i most entirely TO the study of infected
water in the effort to discover the sup
posed PARASITE and find means of eX-
terminating it.
1t has been asserted for years that
pellagra comes from excessive consump-
| ton of Indian corn.
