HIS OLD DREAM CAME TRUE
Miner Was Killed in the Manner That
Was ForetoId in Vision Twenty
Years Before.

In a lecture at Blackwood Rev.
MI. Griffin Of Cross Oak, minister
who, after forty years preaching, is
as vigorous as ever, referred to sub
consciousness, the mysterious power
that controls US even when asleep,
says a Cardiff Mail writer. Outside
the chapel one of his hearers narrated
a curious incident which happened to
q Blackwood man. He lived near the
present railway station, and dreamed
one night that while working on his
stall as a miner a stone fell on him
and killed him.
The dream was SO vivid he gave
I'D his work at once and emigrated to
America. Twenty years later he re-
turned to Blackwood and sought work
in his old colliery. He was told that
no one had been working in his old
stall since he had left, and work vas
found for him in the adjoining stall.
While engaged there his pick acciden-
tally struck through the coal which de-
Vided him from his old stall, there
came a fall and the twenty-year-old
dream was fulfilled.

For safety's Sake

Two brothers who live in an East
Lancashire manufacturing town were
noted for being exceptionally we'll
served with nasal organs.
One Of the ring spinners at the mill
where they worked invited them TO a
wedding, and promised to send cab
for them, says London Tit-Bits.
The cab duly arrived, and the two
brothers entered and planted them
selves down, one at each window.
In order to create an impression dur
ing the drive to the wedding, the two
brothers were looking out Of the cab,
one on either side, SO that the people
could see them.
All went we'll until the cab came to
rather narrow railway arch, which
our travellers had to pass through The
cabman looked back to take his bear
ings, and seeing the two brothers
noses sticking out of the windows on
either side, shouted:
"Put them elbows in, please"

A call has come from France, to the
Red Cross. asking for 10000 wooden
garments for the men at the front.
These include sox, mits, muff1ers,
sweaters, and they must be made by
women. Everybody that is anybody is
knitting, and everywhere milady goes
her knitting-in a knitting bag of sorts
is sure to go, too-like Mary's lamb.
People who never touched knitting
needle before have mastered the art
of knitting sox and find the work fas-
cinating.
When we contemplate the brief his
tory of a pair of sox we realize that
the task of furnishing them will never
be through with until the war ends.
Supplies of sox must be sent in relays,
one after the other, because, sturdy as
the knitted wooden ones are, they will
wear out.
Muff1ers are easier for the begin
ner, and the sort of sweaters required
are not very difficult They are sleeve
less and are really chest and back pro-
tectors. All the knitted garments
must be made according to stand
ards, which will be furnished by the
Red Cross to those who apply for
them.
A luxury that can be made by wom-
en- who do not knit-if there are any
will interest them. Feet that get sore
in the trenches can be rested and
helped to heal by felt slippers, and
these can be made by women at home.
As we care for the comfort of our men
when they are at home working for US,
so we must care for their comfort
when they are away-working and
lighting for US and for those that come
after us. No woman can be indiffer-
ent now and keep the respect Of her
associates. Whoever she is she de-
serves the poor opinion of her char

Two-piece or three-piece matched
sets in millinery are among the smart
est things shown in the new displays
for fall. The tWo-piece set is just
right and designers have made it pos
sible to select a hat and bag q hat
and collar-or a hat and cape or scarf,
made to match; or, il they do not
match in materials, some touch in
trimming makes them kin. A silk hat
trimmed with chinchira, for instance,
is bound for life to a high chinchilla
collar by veil that falls from the hat
and is sewed to the upper edge Of the
collar
Leading the vanguard of matched
sets came the hat and bag to match
and this fancy is altogether SO pleas
ing that hat and bag sets are quite
likely to be found also in the rear of
the fashion parade along about Christ
mas time IL you contemplate some
thing unusual in Christmas gifts that
hat and bag set pictured here ought to
prove interesting.
One of the smartest of smart sets
is of brilliant green satin hrOcaded
with gold and finished with green che
mile tassels in the bag. The hat, to
be worn with it, has 81 crown Of black
velvet and a narrow rolling brim OF
the green and gold brecade. At the

Small. Breaks in Lace.

Where there are only a few threads
broken in Irish or Swiss lace they can
easily be repaired with needle and
thread the same size as that used in
the manufacture of the lace. Place a
tiny knot at the end of the thread on
the needle and draw this through the
place where the broken thread joins
the body of the lace. Having done
this, draw a succession of loop knots
over the floating thread very tightly
close to the base. Now follow with
the new thread the course that the old
thread has taken, and do the same
with the other loose end, knotting IL Sc
curely close to the body lace. Cut
away the loose ends and the break is
no longer perceptible.

senarate waistcoats Now.

London and Paris have taken an
other step toward the masculine in
fashions and makers are producing
separate waistcoats, to be removed at
will They are made of the softest
materials, with striking pattern and
and often they are knitted, and are
cut roomy Pockets at the sides with
a watch fob hanging ont Of one of
them are customary.
Under these waistcoats, of which
plain shirtwaists are being worn, the
jabot or fichu and the transparent
sleeves are visible. 1t is customary
with women wearing such waistcoats
to remove the suit coat.

Not Such q FOOL

There is an amusing little story
about Sir Eric Geddes as a boy which
shows the new first lord of the adj
miralty possessed of resourcefulness at
an early age.
He was somewhere about ten when,
on being given $3.50 by his father as
pocket money, he forthwith went and
spent it all on a second or third hand
bone-shaker. THIS earned him Sc
we're reprimand from his parent for
reckless extravaganza, but the culprit
rose to the occasion. Going out the
next day he returned, having sold the
bone-shaker for SO.

back a fiat tassel made of green che
mile falls from the crown, and small,
fiat flowers, made OK chenille are set
about the crown.
A successful COSTUME depends more
upon handsome accessories like these,
than many of US realize. A plain, dark
gown of satin in BLACK or other color,
is lifted into brilliancy by tricks of ele-
gance, in hat and bag or hat and scarf,
and is equal to formal wear by these
means.
