RELATIONSHIP WITH THE WILD
Lovers of Nature Will Have knowl-
edge of What 1t Means.

The wild! What is that that IL
should SO impress the heart of man;
that it should have lured me all the
days of my life, like music, solace
and an enchantment? 1t is beautiful
in its way, as in very different way
cultivation is beautiful, but this alone
does not explain its influence. There
is a spirit of the wild, with which the
spirit of man acknowledges a relation
ship as old as the race; and if the con-
ditions of his evolution from primitive
man have, in the course of ages, sep
arated him farther and farther from
that original affinity with nature and
made him wanderer from the father
land, that bond will never become
wholly thing of the past. 1t still
haunts and will haunt-a dim, mex
plicable. subconscious memory of
long buried past. 1T is natural, then,
that in the presence OF any bit of
wild landscape, or patch Of virgin
forest, some minds should experience
with a thrill half return to an origi-
nal state-with thrill, indeed. There
is a wilderness motif heard in an in
ner ear by these men. as Siegfried
heard the Valhalla motif. 1t rules

NOTES A MYSTERY OF MONEY
Difference in Unit Of Values s'etweep
Belgium and Holland 10 Paxxis
to the Traveller.

There are good many mysteries of
money and tariffs, and the wayiarer
through life is often puzzled. Why is
it that in the little step from Belgium
to Holland your whole financial out
look on life is altered? They live close
together, the Dutch and the Beigians.
But in coinage they are far apart Bel.
GUM thinks in francs. Holland thinks
in forms. And when you step from
the one little country to the other YOU
find they are thinking the same thing.
Goods in terms of money.
You have but to cross the frontier
between these small countries to find
the difference: Belgium lives on
francs, Holland reckons in forms. and
the amazing thing is that every one
across the frontier will pay about
twice as much for the mere luxury OF
taking the form as a unit instead OF
a franc. Now | should like to know
what is the economical reason of this,
says writer in the London Chronicle
For Belgians and Hollanders appear
equally prosperous. And the Holiander
lives on the form, while the Belgian
lives on the franc. The Englishman
who crosses the frontier finds the ex.
traordinary difference when he
changes his sovereign.

COATS ARE TO BE LONGER
Partisan Dress Arbiters Have Said So,
but the Length 10 to Have Some
Restrictions.

OF one thing We are certain: That
the coats on street suits are decidedly
longer than what women expected.
1t is true that many short coats were
brought over by the buyers. and hun
dreds more were made here, but the
masters of dress, in Paris. accented a
longer coat and their models are win
ningt out.
One does not mean by this that the
coat reaches the knees, or that it is
cut in a straight line around the fig
ure, but it does mean that the waist
coat front reaches we'll below the
waist, and the back drops half way
down to the knees. There is no bob
tailed" effect in the smart coat this
month. 1t is excessively broad, and
so full under the arms that it appears
TO be draped, and there is narrow
belt across the back to push up the
fullness above the waistline, but there
is enough of peplum below this
breadth and fullaess to keep the
proper proportions.
One of the very new street coats
has a panel inserted down the middle
of the back which is cut six inches
longer than the sides, hanging like a
sash to the knees. 1t is straw
which shows how the wind will blow,
By the way, this coat was part of a
suit that had many new features in

land tweed with short skirt, g black

1t was intended for country wear with
a small black hat made of silk beaver

The cabinet is nine feet long, two
feet and four inches wide, and two feet
eight inches high.
1t is divided into three compart-
ments Of three feet each In the right
hand cupboard Is the -four barrel The
cover to this section has hinges, so
that 1t may be raised to reach the
-four The bread board is kept on top
OF the barrel, and there is space at the
sides for bread tins, mixing spoons,
and various small articles.
In the left-hand cupboard or section
are kept food, mixing-milk, molasses
and vinegar jugs, sugar box and tin
dishes.
In the center are four deep drawers,
the upper one being made into two. In
these are kept eggs, spices, soda. and
whatever else Is needed in the cult
nary department.
One drawer is devoted to- towels,
dischcloths, etc, and another to such
things as are to be mended, together
with the necessary materials for do
ing the work speedily and well.
In small space, here, is found nearly
everything that is used every day in
the pantry.
The housekeeper who owned it told
me that, having used The cabinet one
winter, she would not part with it for
many times its cost, ii she could not
get another.
This one was made without any
floor, to save expense. OF course, one
