The plain blouse corresponds with

High, round buttons, covered with the
fabric, provide it's decoration and re-
appear down the front of the skirt.
The shoulders are long, and the
sleeves rather closetitting and finished
with a plain turn-back cuff.
A faint echo of military styles is
discovered in the narrow belt OF white
suede leather with ribbon set on at
each side in cartridge-belt fashion. 1t

right side.
A moderately wide, straight band fin
ishes the neck, affording suppoet for
any one of the numerous new collars
and neckpieces by means OF which the
wearer may show her regard for fash
ions last word. one Of the several
advantages OF a simply made frock
lies in the fact that one may wear
accessories of so many different kinds
with it.

Itations of machinery But the variety
and the quality of hand sewing cannot
be eIualed by machinery. 1t is pos
sible to initiate much handwork very
closely. but not all of it, and the va
riety of design possible in garments
to be made at home would not be
profitable in those made in a factory.
The needlewoman, on the other hand,
may copy any of the factory designs
and improve on them.
Two attractive new nightdresses are
shown here for the consideration of
those who make their undermuslins

Small sprays in flower pattern are
embroidered at each side of the slash
in the sleeves and at the front of the
neck. Eyelets are worked about the
neck opening for carrying a narrow
wash ribbon. This pattern is also
made in fine cotton batiste with a
smaller sized scallop used for edging
and finer flower sprays for decoration.
The machine-made gown is of main
sock fulled to beading with edging
of lace and having inserts of Swiss
embroidery. Either narrow val or
cluny lace is used for this work, the
latter having the preference for wear
ing qualities. The very short sleeves
are trimmed with insertion and lace.

without too strong a flavor of the pres
ent styles to outlive them. A gown
so conservative in structure is a good
model to select for copying in dress
which is to outlast a single season
and prove useful in time to come.
The model as shown is suited to
the stout or short figure. 1t should
be made somewhat fuller for tall
woman, and the length broken by ad-
ditional landings. Very successful
dresses like it are made of crepe or
any of the supple satins, with several
narrow bands of fur at intervals be-
tween the hem and knees. Chiffon
cloth has been used in the same way.
Fur landings are not as becoming to
the stout figure as fat standings of
velvet, and the latter must be used
carefully.

TRADE REVIVAL IN

Not a Myth but an Actually

The trade revival in Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta is an actually
and not a myth. There is today
spirit OF optimism in the air, just as
two years ago there prevailed the OPP
posite spirit of pessimism.
A general trade revival has been
felt in every department Of business in
the Prairie Provinces. The agricul-
turists are in better shape than they
have ever been before in their lives.
No farmers of any country are in bet
ter financial condition and in a more
general state of prosperity than are
the farmers of Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta. The farmers have
harvested record crop-a crop which
enriches them to the extent of some
thing over 100000 900.

The tide has turned in western Can
ada. The people Of the West are
forging ahead, forging ahead in actual
production and in creation OF wealth,
giving generously to charitable and
other funds, paying up their back
debts, while going along carefully as
regards any creation of new debts.
They are economizing but not scrimp-
ing, acting cautiously but not miserly.
The financial heads of eastern Canada,
Of the United States and Of Europe are
no longer criticizing western Canada:
rather they are unstintedly offering
their praise and their compliments.
The financial press recognizes that
the tide has turned in western Canada.
and it has been published to the world.
The condition OF western Canada at
the close of 1916 is one of optimistic
prosperity, backed by the same deter
mination of western people to go on
increasing their productiveness and
maintaining the records which they
have already established.
The trade revival of western Canada
is the happiest feature in the business
survey of the whole Dominion for 1915
and in the outlook for 1916.-Adver-
tisement.

GREATEST OF GERM KILLERS
Nothing Has Yet Been Devised That
Can Dc the Work That is Done
by the Sun.

The old sun is the best germ killer
of them ALL You remember how they
used to--and do yet-expose the
bright dairy pans and cans to the
suns rays. But a few appreciate ex-
actly ths work done by the sun in
this regard. Probably only those
who are acquainted with tests which
have actually been made realize how
quickly sunshine kills disease germs
exposed to it.
This is the tests scientists used to
prove that the sun kills germs: A
mass OF tuberculosis material. which
was proved to contain uBcountable
numbers of virulent tubercle bacilli,
was obtained from tuberculous COW
and spread in thin smooth translucent
layers on sheets of glass, pieces Of
wood and strips of muslin. Some were
placed outdoors where the sun could
shine on them, and an equal number
were placed in dark room.
After 30 minutes exposure in the
sun no living tubercle bacilli could be
found; every test that could be made
proved that they were all dead.
The specimen kept in dark room
proved to contain fully virulent, living
tubercle bacilli after 80 days. The
contrast is remarkable, tubercle ba-
cilli of the same kind, on the same
kind of material, dying in smaller
number of minutes in the sunshine
than the number Of days they re.
manned alive in dark room.
