FOR TABLE LINEN ECONOMY
Paper Napkins and Other Necessariee
Supplant More Costly Articles
Utilizing Worn.out Materials.

On many a table formerly graced by
the daintiest and costliest table linen
one now finds the humble paper nap
kin used, while even at dinner, in
place Of a cloth, the simplest of seal
Hoped centerpieces and doilies cover
the glass-protected mahogany. Not
only r time, labor and money saved.
but also the wear and tear on fine lin
en-, when who knows how or at what
price it can be replaced. The paper
towel may not be very satisfactory,
but it is Of great advantage where
there are children, for it is not only
economical, but absolutely sterile.
The hard usage Of the laundry
causes many a table cloth to wear out
on the folds, and, while no longer fit
for the table, many are the uses to-
which it a be put. If still in fairly
good condition the two outer sides can
be cut into runners about "a inches
wide for the breakfast table, and by
crossing them in the center Of the ia
BILE places for four can be set. Or, If
you disdain to use paper napkins and
towels, cut your old cloths into nap
kins and towel size, hem neatly and
use to save your good linens.

ARE SCARCE
NooIIy Novelties From Paris Are
to Be Substituted.
New Neck Arrangements Are on Scarf
Order; W~aistcoats Of Angora;
Use Of Covert Cloth.

Furs are to become scarcer and a
new supply is not anticipated, as the
trappers have gone to war, and the
soldiers sent to Siberia and Russia
e not sent out without an effort
to mitigate the temperature of the
northerly climate.
The very high-priced furs and the
very cheapest remain in market, but
the demand is not great. This is not
encouraging, but we still have Paris
to depend upon. Not that Paris can
supply us with furs-far from it-for
there are now very few furs left ex-
cept American ones. What we do de-
pend upon France for is something
which will take the place Of fur and
satisfy u longing for the beautiful.
Our ally has never failed us, either in
adversely or in the little things of life
which keep our interest fresh.
If We lack furs, novelties are forth
coming in the way Of woolly devices
and the cleverest of ways in which to
wear them. If wool is short Paris in
vents the newest of ways to make
satin and a little lining take it's place.
And so it goes; she never fails us.
Among some of her latest offerings are
neck arrangements on the scarflike or.
der, designed to take the place of fur,
and waistcoats of Angora of the same
intent. A brown velvet model by
Doucet was equipped with a striped
AngOra vest of beige blue and red and
scarflike revers which ran to the bot,
tom Of the coat with slit pockets in
the ends. A tiny bit Of fur did duty
as a collar.
An zen voyage" model by Lanvin is
of gray covert cloth with a collar
which develops into a scarf lined with
wide black silk braid.
Black silk braid trims many of the
velvet suits, and one costume is Dor.
dered in white even about the bottom
of the skirt.

BOYS FIRST TO WEAR ARMoR
Veteran Soldiers Of Rome scorned tho
Idea Of Such Protection From
Danger az It Gave.

While these metal clothes, uncom-
Portable, hot and heavy though they
were, have been a necessary style of
wearing apparel ever since the for
gotten ages when men began to quar-
rel and to strive, writes e. s. Brooks,
in "Stories of the Middle Ages" it was
not until a comparatively recent date
that warriors rode to battle wholly
incased in armor. The Assyrians and
Egyptians, the Greeks and Romans
Of the earlier days, were satisfied
with such partial protection as
would shield part Of their
bodies. . 3. The stout old Roman
legionaries, bronzed and SCARED with
exposure and fighting, laughed rather
contemptuously at the fresh levies
which, when sent to the field, wished
to shield their bodies as much as pos
sible. Indeed, the first use of the word
armor, as we understand 1t, is found
in the works Of a military writer Of
the latter part Of the fourth century A.

illusions to Canadian aggressiveness
and practically admits that it would
be hopeless to try and develop a SINH
lar degree of initiative among German
troops, who must never think. but
obey. His published orders, several Of
which have been found on prisoners
at various times, are strong testimony
to the spirit which animates and
guides the Canadian army-the spirit
Of democracy impelling each man to
bear his burdens cheerfully and will
ingly, to be loyal to his officers and
to the traditions Of British chivalry
and justice.
The days Of slave-driven armies are
over and the old savage spirit Of mill
tarism that forfeited mems lives in
millions to the god of war is about to
be crushed once and for ala happy
result made possible to a great extent
by volunteer forces led and not driven
to fight, waging wal not for wars sake
or lust Of conquest but for the free

Must Have Protection.

A dainty little slipover for the baby
Is just the thing for cool evenings,

German Idea.

1.-THE German idea Of a good soldier
is one who breaks all the rules" said
Representative Roberts Of Nevada.
"The soldier who kills the most babies,
murders the most women and poisons
the most wells is the beet soldier, &C.
cording to the German idea.
"The Germans rem.nd me of the
youth who said to his father:
"'Father, I have saved ten dollars
the first money I ever saved in my life.
Naturally I feel rather proud Of my

Dutch Dogs.

Dutch Dogs.
In Holland the lot of some dogs 10
not at all a happy one. Many Of them
have to work very hard, indeed, for
the little food that is necessary to
Keep them alive. In many instances
the food they eat is not the same as
the American dog has. Some Dutch
dogs will eat carrots and turnips-in
fact, almost anything that Is put be-
fore them. They have to draw the
vegetables, milk and other t%radesmen's
corts In order that mynheer may walk
alongside at his ease. ,

Effect Of Intense Cold.

Eject OF Intense Cold.
Intense cold causes a dulling Of the
senses, taste and smell becoming al
most nil. The lack Of these two
lenses seems, however, to be a very
kind and wise provision of nature to
enable the traveller In the cold arctic
regions to eat oil kinds Of oily, dis
agreeable foods like blubber and fat,
which are necessary as heat produe-
ers. The effect Of cold on the eyes Is
very dangerous. 1t causes them first
gradually to close and then to freeze
tight.

speeded up to care for peaks in local
