Dress in London.

Something might be said Of the
changes that three years Of war have
brought about in our clothes. Evening
dress is not abolished, but it is becom-
ing much less customary in theaters
and restaurants, and people coming
up to London who used to bring eve
ming clothes with them no longer do
so. Stiff white collars are disappear
Ing. and the soft collar is worn by all
classes. The democratic process had
already set in at the house of COM
mons. One remembers the shock that
Mr.. Keir Hardie's cloth cap created ON
Its first appearance there, but 1t has
advanced immensely since the war be-
gan. Frock coats are in a small and
die-hard minority. Spats are on their
last legs. Top hats survive miraculous
ly, 1t might seem. until one remembers
their enduring qualities, so that their
persistence is only form of war
economy after all.

HIS PRESENTMENT CAME TRUE
Canadian Soldier Met Death at Front
But Not at All In the Manner
That He Had Feared.

The men of the First Canadian d.
vision who came unscathed through
the smashing fight at Ypres, the bat
tie of FeStubert and the Givenchy cy-
clone in April, May and June Of 1916,
almost all believed they could not bs
killed. They had seen so many COM
rades fall, and had so many narrow
escapes, that they assumed the bullet
was not nodded that could get them.
One exception was member Of the
Thirteenth battalion canadian Black
Watch). He had premonition Of
death and saw his fate in every shell
that burst in sight and every bullet
that tipped past him.
Each time he went into the trenches
he died a thousand times in imagina-
ton, and he was helpless, hopeless,
useless object the last time we went
into the line in front of Ploegsteert
woods. He never smiled, whistled or
sang when in the firing line; he was
literally obsessed with the fear Of
death.
On the morning following his last
night in the trenches he was smiling
broadly. The company were snug in
billets and he was preparing to shave,
whistling as he stropped his razor.
Suddenly a careless draft man with
out warning exploded cartridge that
lay forgotten in the breech of his rifle.
The bullet pierced the brain Of the
man with the razor, and he died with.
In few moments.
Not till then did his comrades real.
lie that his fear of death was based
upon presentment that came true,
though not at all in the manner the
unfortunate man expected.-The Wide
World.
