When farmers are disposed to branch

Profits commonly run as high as $3.50

Margaret Mason Writes on
Gotham Fads and Fashions

swells all the beaus as well as bellies
made of linen starched and pleated Of
fine texture. a't} t'+ e1.-
Now 1 thought when just child,
though the theory now seems wild, that
the reason they wore ruffs in that far
day was because when Queen Bess said
''Off with his" or with her head. -
That the ruff would sort of help things
in this way.
When the headsman made the chop
just below the kerflop-then the
ruff around the head would make n
frill like the frills we have to-day on
our lamb chops when to stay there is
company to dine and eat their fill.
Now those headsmen you can sec
over-rough were bound to be while tho
chopped off heads were over ruff as
well but l hope no one today will go
off her head that way over ruffs or any
other fashion spell.
In those days it is quite true that the
men were ruffed up too and the great
est brains emerged from out the frill.
Bill Shakespeare wrote his best, l am
sure, when he was dressed in a ruff
WHtItOu ut NIptu HIS IdCltt NulAis
And when Drake and Raleigh sailed
while the angry billows rallied and tho
winds and waves were rough, in linen
fine, [ we no doubt, they both stepped
out on the deck and with shout said
'I see you re rough, oh waves, do you
see mine?"
Just fancy if today Shackleton
should dress this way or Mr.. Peary or
old DR.. Cook. If H. G. Wells should
write in a ruff he d be a sight and
don It believe I'D buy his latest book.
But it's needless thus to fret for tho
man have not as yet thrust their neeks
through fashions yoke these present
times. Just the women now the dears,
are in ruffs up to their ears though
they are quite sufficient for these
rhymes.
Quite a problem for the stout, that
they II have to figure out, all this ruff
wear seems to promise for the Fall.
How an extra double chin is a-going
! to be tucked in is thing l can u
elucidate at all.
Think what quantities Of lace, if you
have full moon face, it will take to
make your ruff much fuller still. Yards
and yards of muslin too, it will take
to make into frill, your fulsome face
won't fully fill.
But whether thin or fat, it will be
some art at that to learn to eat our
vietuals in ruff. Spots of gravy or
of soup will soon cause your ruff to
droop. We have to use a stew for
liquid stuff.
And how ever will we kissq Did you
ever think of this? For : stiff
starched ruff s no aid to OSCILLATION.
For if you kiss gent your ruff will
sure get bent and that will also dent
your reputation.
For thus your ruff will show like a
record, don t you know, how oft you've
yielded to the kiss temptation. oh it 3
going to be tough on all the loving
stuff-Dan Cupid might as well take
| vacation.

That the dollars will be ruff enough

Even an unusual dearth of light di-
version this summer cannot entirely
blot out birthday festivities. In fact,
it is upon the constant and faithful
birthday that milady must depend
these August days for her social rec
reation, which is all the more neces-
sary because of the constant demands
of varied relief work on time and
strength.
The warm weather decrees that even
birthday gayeties must be INDUCED in,
out Of doors, preferably near the wa
ter. One Of the most attractive Of
these birthday affairs given this sum
mer was the picnic at Spong's landing
Tuesday evening, complimenting Mrs.
James Chinook and E. o. Siecke on
their natal anniversaries, both of
which occurred on Tuesday.
The guests motored out early in the
evening, to find a prettily appointed

Illuminated with the indispensable birth
day cakes and their yellow candles.
