Built Along PoiIu Lines.

1t is the milliners and the dressmak-
ers of Paris, it is said, who are urging
the wearing of clothes built on ''poilu"
lines; and the people themselves feel
that there is a very decided question
of propriety and sentiment concerned.
They are keeping on with ever-increas-
ing black in spite of the war-cross rib
bon colors, red and green, which are
offered by the makers.
Women's hats in the form of the
Adrien helmet worn by the French sol
der in the trenches have appeared for
the second time (they did not meet
with success the first time) and some
dressmakers are ornamenting gowns
with braid in the form and colors Of
the 'fourragere" or aiguillettes that
adorn the uniforms of regiments and
battalionS cited in orders.
Stuffs in the war-cross ribbon colors
are being offered very largely and
there are clOaks in khaki with a pro-
fusion of pockets, recalling the jacket
of Thomas Atkins. These will be for
spring rather than winter But those
who disapprove of the wearing of sol
diers' clothes by civilians maintain
that khaki, horizon blue, the red and
green braid, and the Adlfen helmet
should all be sacred to the fighting
men.

SET FOR SKATING
SUIT OF BROAD.
CLOTH AND ERMINE.
Strict Adherence to Fashion in Each
One of the Articles Shown-Ex-
cellent Gift for Young Bride
or Debutante.

Everything comes in sets this year.
There are skating sets, morning, after
noon and evening sets and sets for
young, middle-aged and old.
An afternoon set for a pretty debu-
tante is shown in the sketch. 1t con-
sists of small hat, cape or over
grown collar and cute little muff
White broadcloth is used, and each
of the separate articles is trimmed
with many narrow bands of unSpot-
ted ermine. Each has shell pink satin
lining, the hat brim being faced I'M
derneath in pink, and small French
bouquets of garden flowers used to
trim hat and muff and to conceal the
fastening of the narrow-folded scarf
which circles the neck and holds the
cape in place.
An interesting feature of the muff
is the slightly full sleeve of pink geor-
gette with narrow ermine cuff or edg-
ing which finishes each end. This
sleeve may be pushed close to the
wrist and form merely a rather full
decorative puff, or it may be pushed
up over the arms to serve as IN extra
protection.
A set of this kind would make an
admirable gift for a young bride or

English sixpenny COTTAGES.

In connection with the shortage of
cottage accommodates which is ocCu-
pying the minds of the authorities. it
is interesting to know that cheap and
lasting cottages have been erected, for
at Theydon Garnon. near Epping, Es-
sex, there still stands, in fine preserva-
ton, a row of cottages built over 400
years since from the surplus bricks
of the village church tower. these being
let at a very low rent, remarks Lon
don Answers
At Lavendon, near Olney, in Buck
inghamshire, the majority Of the cot
tages. built of stone from a local quar-
ry, cost the tenants from one shilling
TO two shillings weekly.
But the cheapest abodes In the coun-
try are at Bishops Stortford, Herts,
where a cottages, erected by the late
Admiral f. Van der MeuIen and Sir
Walter Gilbey, are let at ninepence
weekly for married couples and six
pence for single persons. and are fully
furnished &c that.

CHAPTER xiv.
In White and Black.

In the morning Oinna did not show
herself outside the cabin, though
Hardy called a kindly good morning
to her. Her brother, with one arm
carefully bandaged and in a sling,
brought out the breakfast that she
cooked. He looked so weak and IN
steady that Hardy at once assented
when he mumbled that he wished to
go back to bed ana rest until the
council.
"YOu must have your wits about
you this time," added Hardy. what
ever the cause of the misunderstand-
ing at the first council, it must not
recur. You are too careless in your
interpretations. Inform your sister
that she is to be present. shall re-
quire her to check YOU"
would you make a girl as shy as
she is stand up in tribal council
and interpret?" demonstrated Wander
vyn, as Redbear skunk around the end
of the cabin.
1.-THE presence of her grandfather
will give her courage" replied Hardy.
ut is necessary that she should be
present. do not trust either the
ability or the honesty of her brother"
Vandervyn shrugged, and said no
more. Half an hour so later he
asked permission to use Hardy's pen
and pad to write some letters. The
captain handed them to him, and
started up the mountainside above
the tunnel mouth. A steep path led up
to the top of the spur ridge from
which the shaft had been sunk from
the apex of the outcrop of the vein.
As soon as he had gone beyond ear
shot, Vandervyn rose to stretch him
self and call softly through the near
est loophole. He then seated himself
on his saddle and began to write. A
listener would have had need to be
near at hand to have heard the low
murmur of Redbear's and Oinna's

Elaboration in Tea Gowns.

Like everything else, the tea gown,
once a trailing, diaphanous affair,
much befrilled and furbelowed, meant
for hours of ease, has had to yield to
the eXigencies of the times, and has
been, pro tenn, shorn of its train and
other extraneous decorations and en-
larged it's functions from tea time to
dinner. 1t has come into the cate
cory of trainless garments and is
sometimes even ankle length in it's
shortness. Also, the little loose
coatee that has come to be almost in
separable from it is pursuing a sue
cesSful career.
A black and white tea gown of much
charm has a fourreau of white bro
cade crepe de chine, over which is a
flowing overdress, which reaches only
to the knees, of black ninon patterned
with silver, the bodice being draped
and pulled fully round the figure and
caught in front with q silver rose.
The sleeves are of white shadow lace.
Over all is worn long, graceful three
quarter leuSlH CodI OL ulIuy Dldch ldCe,
edged with full frill which is caught
and festooned at regular intervals
with single silver roses.
Another beautiful one is in purple
satin, so simply made as hardly to
warrant description except for the
beauty of its coloring. It's sole orna-
ment consisted of very wide high
belt, exquisitely nodded to the figure,
of cerise brocade in which was a deli
cate tracery of gold, from which hung
two long ends weighted with heavy
gold tassels. The shoes to be worn
with it were of fuchsia color and gold
brocaded.

Movement of Population.

Emigration from the eastern states
to the middle West began in small
way soon after the close of the Revo-
lutionary war. but was not large till
after the admission of Ohio as state
in 1903. In 1900 the government
adopted the system of selling public
land in Ohio on credit and thus start
ed o current of emigration to Ohio
whic,y soon made it state and over
flowed into Indiana. Old letters writ
fen from towns in Massachusetts, New
York and Pennsylvania describe the
roads leading west as thronged with
large covered wagons filled with peo-
ple and household goods, moving to
..the Ohio" An Englishman who came
West in 1916 wrote: In passing
through the upper parts of Virginia |
observed a great number of farms that
had been abandoned. on many of
which good houses had been erected,
and fine apple and peach orchards had
been planted. On inquiring the rea-
son. / was always informed that the
owners had gone to the western coun-
try. From the New England states the
emierations are still more numerous.
They mostly cross the Hudson river
hetwee. Albany and NewbuFg, and
must pass through Cayuga on their
way TO Pittsburgh. / was informed
bv an inhabitant of Cayuga in April.
1916. that more than 1900 wagons
had passed over the bridge at that
place within the last is months, con-
tanning emigrants to the western coun-
try"

soon as Hardy and Vandervyn started
to ride down the slope, Oinna slipped
out, and held her brothers pony for
him. She then mounted her own, and
rode after him.
At the foot of the slope the riders
came out through a grove of young,
quaking asps into sudden view of the
picturesque and imposing tribal coun-
Gil. Fully half the tribe had gathered
together for the occasion. All up and
down the valley the meadows were
dotted with their ponies. The Indians
were assembled in dense crowd

VICTORY FOR FUTURlsT ART
ment When He Feared That All
Was Lost.

Rathsbane Hammock struggled
YEARLY up the nineteen flights of
stairs to his draughty garnet studio.
No food had passed his lips that day
except twenty hard-boiled eggs and
six cans of spoiled sardines originally
packed in lard.
81 was a brute to marry Emmaline

he thought bitterly. mo man ought

/ wonder if the expressman has come
to take 'Skeehaw Bridge in a Drizzle'
to the Futurist exhibition. If that, my
masterpiece, fails to win prize, fear
we all must starye or eat sauerkraut

The first thing that met his eye-he
had but one. left-when he entered the
studio was "Skeehaw Bridge in a

1.-THE expressman came and took
away the picture" his wife told him
with a giggle. Il hope 1 gave him the

But at that moment a messenger boy

debutante, and it is needless to say
that it offers an excellent Christmas
gift suggestion.
Among the skating sets developed,
the four-piece affairs are the smartest
--cap, muff, scarf and long bag for
holding the skates. Felt, velvet, broad
cloth, camel's hair cloth, ETC., are
used for the skating sets, and they are
interlined with bright contrasting col
or fabric and may be trimmed with
fur, embroidery or Shirring.
The Paisley shawl vogue, which has
the past few weeks, is given frequent
expression through the medium of one
of these three or four-piece sets.

Fashions and Fads.


Eggplant purple is beautiful shade.
Very pretty sports hats are of che
nile.
No hat is too small for its touch
of silver.
Wool jersey is being used for man
ties.
Velvet is worn for both afternoon
and evening.
There are chic coats Of fur, straight
in line aud reaching a little below the
hips.
A striking frock has a bodice Of
black velvet, and the skirt Of a soft
striped material.
A very appropriate frock for a lit
tie girl in pigtails has a decidedly
Chinese quality.

Bread for Fiuhtinu Men.

1t is scarcely possible to SAY ex-
actly how many lOaves are baked daily
for our men at the front" but it would
run. into many hundreds of thousands.
In one bakery alone in France 10000
two-pound loayes are produced every
day by a small army of 400 bakers
all enlisted army men who wear their
khaki as proudly as any of the troops
in the front-line trenches. The sork
goes on night and day without ceas-
ing, and the bread is described as
"crisp, appetizing and excellent

another to actually clap your eyes up
on a long, puff-sleeved coat of royal

Hardy. IF the tribe consents, shall

and the battle promises to be one. of
the hardest contests of the season.
Confidence in the Southern camp was
boosted several notches Monday after
noon by the. appearance on the field
of Shank. Shank is a Baltimore high
school lad and seems to possess every
qualification of football player. His
ability as punter and passer will add
several points to the strength of the
Blue and White team. Coach w. w.
Alderman has been trying all season
to develop a punter but his efforts
seem to have been fruitless. Shank
seems we'll capable of taking care of
this phase Of the game and it is quite
relief to the coaches to make this
discovery. Shank will be placed in
the backfeld and Fulton will be shift
ed to end. Fulton's ability as wing
man needs no comment in this section
and the shift to the line will strength
en- it wonderfully. Fulton's shift. to
the end will place five veterans on the
line, in King, Wilson, Hyer and Crow
ley. Captain Calvert will be the only
veteran in the backfeld, though the
trio of new ones in LoBean at full,
Shank at half, and Rast at quarter,
seem capable of taking care of all
emergencies.

According to a telegram from Carl
bou, Maine, two million dollars a
month is coming to the Aroostcok
county farmers by the sale of this
years crop of potatoes, according to
an estimate just made public. About
100 carloads a day are leaving the
county. Not only was the potato crop
one of the best on record, owing to a
good yield and favorable weather for
harvesting, but prices are said to be
the highest ever paid at this time of
the year.

a Halloween celebration in a manner
very much out of the ordinary. A inc
program of attractions had been ar
ranged and the entire community en-

There were two bands of music and a
long procession in which there were
some handsome floats and decorated
automobiles. The school children also
marched in the parade. Many from
Clearwater went up to spend the ev-

Interest and enthusiasm continues
to reach a very high pitch in the ap-
preaching football contest with Rol-
lins. The Blue and White squad is in
the pink of condition and awaits the
affray with confidence. They will be
able to enter Saturdays game though
their opening game, in mid season
form and there is very little uneasi-
ness felt here as to the outcome of the
game although they realize that they
are facing a stiff proposition in Rol-
Inns. The Rollins lads have already
had the benefit of two hard games
this season and are in position to de-
termine their weakness. Rollins will
journey to Sutherland fully confident
