VARIETIES OF velvet FR0CKS
One May Have Them in Practically
Any Design That Occurs to
the Fancy.

There are quantities Of three-piece
velvet costumes whose coats are
short, reaching only little way be-
low the waist line, or of hip length,
and either belted or very loose and
flaring; and often there are, too, in.
Vulnerable velvet frocks that have no
accompanying coat. These frocks may
be of the elaborate sort, part chiffon
or lace or silk much trimmed, but
newer are the simple, one-piece frocks
Of velvet, almost untrimmed save for
mere touches of fur or embroidery
and buttons. made. in fact, with Ill
most exaggerated simplicity, but with
careful attention to line. Many Of
these have high, close collars of the
velvet. bordered at the top with fur,
or relieved at the top by some white
collar arrangement; but these straight
up and down all-velvet models, while
undeniably chic, are as undeniabty
too hot for comfort In our overheated
buildings and practical only for street
wear under fur coats or with small
furs.
Recognizing this fault, some Of the
designers have arranged the collar so
that from high, close, velvet choker
it may be unbuttoned and turned over
into a lace-faced, rolling collar, but
even that leaves the all-velvet bodice
very hot affair.

PROPER WAY TO MAKE BED
Seems Simple Proceeding, but There
Are Some Methods Preferable
to Others.

To make up bed so that it will be
smooth, tuck the clothes in, one piece
at a time, at the sides, and complete
the work all but tucking the clothes
in at the foot. Now draw the clothes
down, one piece at time, as taut as
possible, and tuck them in at the foot.
The bed will be far heater looking then
would be otherwise possible. If the
bed is of iron or brass, which does not
permit Of tucking in the coverlet, tuck
in the other clothes as directed, plac.
ing the ccverlet over all.
A new way to make beds is as fc,.
lows: Sew two short loops on one
end CT each covering, these loops be-
ing the distance apart of the width
Of the bed and equally distant from the
corners Of the coverings. Then take
brass rod cut just as long as the bed
is wide, and cover it with a thin pad
ding Of cotton and some durable ma.
terial. This rod is run through the
loops Of the bed coverings and tucked
in at the foot of the bed.
When the bed is put to air, the bed
clothes may be readily thrown back
without becoming separated. This de-
vice is especially adapted for chill.

Honor Japanese Explorer.

The Japanese people are paying
honor to a famous Japanese explorer,
the Rev. Ekai Kawaguchi, who has
just returned from successful relig
ious mission to the innermost regions
of Tibet. Almost a score of years
ago Doctor Kawaguchi conceived the
project of recovering to the world the
hidden scripts of pristine Buddhism
from the land of the Llamas, away in
the alcoves Of the worlds roof. He
penetrated Tibet, but had to come
home abandoning the object of his ex-
ploration. Later, after q long study
of the Tibetan language, he made his
way through mountain and forest and
overcoming many hardships finally
succeeded in entering Tibet three
years after his departure from ia
pan. His wanderings in the interior
we've mostly in the disguise of tray
cling physician. After studying the
Tibetan religion and conditions for
ten years he was given copies of the
Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures and re-
turned to Japan.

Sitting on 1t.

Augustine Birrell, the secretary for
Ireland, has recently returned home
from the war front in France, where
he had many interesting and exciting
experiences.
Some time ago, while travelling in a
third-class railway carriage in the
north of England, Mr.. Birrell found
himself in an amusing although very
embarrassing position.
He was only just in time to catch
the train and sat down hurriedly next
to little girl in shawl and clogs.
Happening to glance at her mo-
ment or two afterward, he saw that
she appeared very uneasy and was re-
garding him with no great favor.
Then it was that it dawned upon
him that he was sitting upon her
newspaper.
Here, my DEAR" said Mr.. Birrell,
pulling the paper from under him and
handing it to her, I'm sorry!"
The little girl did not look quite
satisfied; but she said nothing till a
few minutea later when the train drew
up at the station.
"Please, SIR" she then inquired,
meekly, as she rose to get out, may
I have my fried fish? It was In the
paper!"

The One.LaeA Shoe.

Have you seen the one-lace shoot
Not the shoe that laces at the side nor
yet the shoe that laces straight down
the back-although the shoe in Ques'
ton does lace down the back. But
this is a shoe that laces with only
one lace. And the lace fastens around
little metal hooks. from top to bot
tom, like those at the top of mems
laced boots.
These hooks would prove awkward
if skirts were longer, for they would
be sure to catch in the hem of the
skirt and cause tripping and falls. But
with the skirt swinging we'll above
the boot top, and far away from it;
too. because of the flaring hem. therd
is no chance of catching in the littld
metal hooks. It goes without saying
that these new boots could be very
quickly adjusted.

l-Dle fields that are re

l.Dle fields that are re
lac wheat crop of Western
for 1915 bear out the esti
lie OF an average yield over the
three western provinces of upward OF
IS bushels per acre. There is no
portion Of that great west Of $4,000
square miles in which the crop was
not good and the yields abundant. An
American farmer who was induced to
place under cultivation land th:t he
had been holding for five years for
speculative purposes and higher
prices. says that he made the price of
the land out of this years crop OF
oats. No doubt, others. too, who took
the advice Of the Department of the
interior to cultivate the unoccupied
land, have done as well.
But the story Of the great crop that
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
produced this year is best told in the
language Of the railways in the added
tars that it has been necessary to
place in commission, the extra trains
required to be run, the increased ton

MAKE KITCHEN BRIGHT
EASILY DONE BY EXERCISE OF 4
LITTLE THOUGHT,
Many Reasons Why Room Should Be
the cleanest, Sunniest and Most
Cheerful in the House-Color
Scheme Means Much.

One wonders at the housekeepers
$40 choose for their kitchen walls
and woodwork a dingy gray or brown
or some other dark, dull color that
will not show the dirt. Are they bet
ter housekeepers because the dirt,
which is surely there, does not show?
Would these same women wear black
dresses and aprons when doing the
cooking and feel that they were clean
because they did not look soiled?
The kitchen should be the cleanest,
sunniest, and most cheerful room in
the house. It is here the housekeeper
spends most Of her time, and it is
here tho food is prepared and often
served.
It is not always possible to have
the kitchen located so as 20 get the
best light, but a dark room may be
color. In a Minnesota town the
school kitchen had windows on the
east side only. Half of them were on
a court and the others against a hill;
but by the use of a deep cream tint
on the ceiling, a buff for the walls,
and woodwork of southern pine fin
ished in the natural color and
vanished, the effect of sunlight was
given even on the dull, short days
of the northern winter.
If there is much sunshine in the
kitchen white or blue may be used !;
but on the north side of the house use
buff or warm, yellowish tan. The
increased cheerfulness and better
spirits of the housekeeper will mean
much to the entire family, and her
work will not be increased by the new
color scheme because sunny, pleas.

furs You Nav Wear.

Many of the fur coats are trimmed
with contrasting fur. Even the popu'
lar priced coats have bands of skunk,
raccoon or other inexpensive pelt.
Usually these bands are placed at the
bottom edge of the coat; also at the
waist line in belt effect, and are used
for the collar and cuffs. In some of
the more extreme styles the bands
run up the front edges, as we'll as
around the bottom. On these coats
the bands are often as wide as ten
inches.
The full length coats are designed
for evening wear, and are, therefore.

PRANK PLAYED BY HURRICANE
New Orleans CIothier's Stock Was
'r Swept Out Of His Store Into
the street.

Although the angry wind carried
through space veritable fusillaue of
bricks, states and bits of broken glass,
a fringe of venturesome men stood
within the scant protection afforded
by the sheds on the river side of St.
Charles street and with necks at a
dangerous angle gazed up at the great
tall chimney on the lower side of the
Masonic temple during the hurricane

1t seemed swaying to and fro as

as ITS going to tall now!" and Get

trained their envious guns on the en-
tire exposed front of the stately tenn
pie. Splendid windows of ancient pat
tern yielded their fancy glass as trib-
ute to the gale.
The sWaying chimney was about to
give up it's fight for existence. The
watching crowds saw it bend, straight
en-, bend again and then fall with
resounding crash on the roof of the
building occupied by clothing store
next door to the temple.

COMBINE LINEN and LACE

bersome and that bring about results
more quickly. For such as these, then,
the embroidered squares solve the
problem. These can be effectively
joined together with wide or narrow
cluny lace to form bureau scarfs, bou-
doir pillows, table runners and dear
knows what else.
One woman who had been given a
quantity of square doilies three and
four inches square put them to good
service by joining them with wide
lace and using them on the buffet.
She objected to using them singly and
was highly pleased with the scarf that
resulted from Joined forces.
Squares of tan linen embroidered
in cOlOrs can be joined effectively to
form table runners. OF course, the
lace should match the color of the lin.
