Whether II is because they are be-
coming or because an atmosphere of
luxury, and sometimes suggestion OF
splendOr belongs to them, or that they
are so OmfOrtable-every woman
loves furs. They may be excused for
extravagancies in this direction; there
are so many reasons why furs are II
better investment than any other sort
of apparel. Furriers have presented
greater variety in scarf and mum
sets and In fur garments of all kinds
than is usual in one season aud this
has made one more reason why furs
are everywhere. Their vogue Is uni
versal.
Beginning with the short muller
collar and ending with the long coat
one may buy wraps of any size be-
tween with muffs to match. The scarfs
or capes and muffs classed as sepa-
rate furs and sets, are made In all va
rleties of skins. Then there are the
short coats (thelr name is legion) and
finally the long capes and coats that
almost cover the figure.
The separate furs-scarfs or small
capes with muffs to match-lead in
popularity. Recently hats trimmed
with the same fur or partly made OF
1t, have added chic, harmonious de-
tail to the mldwinter toilette for the
street, but scarf or cape looks well
with any sort of millinery. The hand
some mink scarf and muff shown In
the picture are designed for matronly
wearers and are good example Of new
but staple styles that will outlast
many seasons. Tails as a finish for
scarf ends have been reinstated, but
the fiat fur-covered button is a novel
ty In ornaments. There Is n narrow
frill of satin along the center OF the
scarf to protect the lining when the
scarf is brought close up about the

At home and far afield the Red Cross
must continue the work of relieving
the suffering that follows in the wake
Of the war. Refugees and orphans

Of the work Of the Red Cross ends
with the cessation OF hOstllltles.
The Christmas roll call has for its
object more than anything else the
enrolment Of all adults as members
Of the Red Cross and the appeal is
for 81 memberships. The canvass will
be mainly for this. The Red Cross

nitrogen from the air. Peanuts do not
grow from roots, but on shoots which
grow out from the plant above ground,
bear little sterile yellow blossom
and then shoot directly into the
ground, where they peg-that Is, where
peanuts begin to grow on them.-St.

Is not phrase Of empty words. Char
acteristic Of all that has gone before
Is the fact that the last act before the
curtain was rung down on the drama
OF war should be the capture OF Mons
by the Canadian corps. No Canadian,
when he heard that It was reserved
to Canadians to retrieve the great
tragedy to the original British army
In August, 1914, but felt his pulse
jump and the red blood surge through
his veins.
These boys who went from Canadian
flresldes, who never heard the jangle
of sword previous to 1914, In the last
four months have met the flower Of
the German army, vaunting warriors
who had given their lifetime to prep
arntion. Divisions totallng one-fourth
Of the entire German army were In
this period met In succession and van
quished by four divisions from Can-
ada.
Nor have the people at home been
tagging behind the boys at the front
in courage, resourcefulness and eff
cheney. The development of Canada's
war industry Is an Industrial romance
Of front rank. American government
officials can testify to the efficiency OF
the manufacturing plant Canada has
built up In four short years. In de-
partment after department, where they
found American industry failed them,
they were able to turn to Canada. The
full story may be revealed some day.
In finance, Canada before the war
was always n borrower and expected
to be so for many years to come But
for n year and half Canada In finance
has been ION her own" More than that,
she has been furnishing large creilts
to other nations.
Having trlumphed over the soul
testing crises Of war, Canada faces an
era of peace with more than confidence
with buoyancy.
A vast program Of reconstruction
and of development awaits. The
country Is eager TO get at II and Is
impatient for the government to give
the word. Public works Of tremen-
dous Importance, silent since 1914, are
awaiting labor soon to be available.
Shlpbulldlng, railway equipment steel
production, and many other industries
will, under proper direction, go for
ward with bound.
A Canadian commission under Lloyd
Harris, fresh from Washington, is
headed for Europe for the purpose Of
securing orders for Canadian indus
tries for the reconstruction of Europe.
