The discovery of America cost a lit

paid a salary of $500 a year, the two
cantains who accompanied him re-
cetRed a salary Of $500 each, and the
members of the crew were paid at the

Experts Train Canary Birds.

Many owners of canary birds en-
ploy expert trainers to educate their
pets. Others, folks who have more
time and patience, do the work of
training themselves. Tutoring high
class canaries has come into its own
as a regular business and many per-
sons are now living on the incomes OF
such 'professorships."

New York-Most women remember
the Imaginative thrill they. received
when they read of the princess in the
fairy tale who wore the marvellous
cloth Of gold gown-and how they
Immediately fell into a daydream
suca gorgeous rainent!
The gown, pictured here is like that
old daAdream miraculously come
true. Here is the beautiful princess
wearing a wonderful garment made of
cloth Of gold with great clusters of
black velvet peoples brocaded upon
it. The bodice is enriched with in
tricate embroideries of jewels. and of
kbeads in gold n many colors. 1t is
fastened upon the shoulders with
straps made of our chains of antique
gold beads.
At the girdle in. front there is an
enormous black velvet poppy with a
gorgeous center Of dull gold beads.
AT the back the brocaded. cloth Of
gold is drawn into a soft, fiat little
hustle that is scarcely more than a
drape, but which allows for graceful
folds, and plaitings Of the rich textile.
H., Under the skirt there is a rather
narrow skirt of black velvet, and a
long black velvet train Of charming
gracefulness appears. from beneath

Smart frocks are increasingly mar
row at h hem. Even when the tunic
is full and flowing the underskirt is
narrow.
Wells are again in high favor and
vary from the loose fy-away en-
%broidered veil hat falls from the
brim of the hat to the clever frill of
black lace that is attached to the un-
der brim of the hat just an inch from
where the crow rests on the hair.
Some of the smartest coats have
long wooden scarfs of the same ma
