Jeanette. who was held In Belgium by
the Germans while her father was In
Germany. Added TO the sufferlngs OF
his Imprisonment was the death OF
his wife IN Belgium after he had been

Doctor Beland was only postmaster
general for two months in 1911 when
the Laurier administration was de-

II was because he had held this polltl-
cal appointment that the Huns would
not permit him to leave Germany two
years ago when arrangements were
made between that country and Great
Britain for the exchange of civilian
prisoners more than forty-tlve years
old.
During the three years he lost 90

leaves, there is no reason why any one
woman should wish herself out of the
picture. Let her go along with the
momentum of the hour and buy and
wear garments of fig leaves.
The public is beginning to see the
wisdom of buying a small amount at
the moment it is needed. 1t should be
preached in every possible form of
propaganda that this is the wise way
to live during war time. Rest assured
that if the public buys up all the stock
of one thing from store, that store
will be replenished the moment it's sup
ply is exhausted.
OF course, there are women who al
ways demand quality. They prefer to
have badly cut gown, made in a past
fashion, If they are sure that every
thread is silk or wool, as the case may
be. But the majority of women are
not inclined toward accepting that sys-
TEN of dress.
Therefore, let us start out in a new
measure of reform, as soon as this
month is over and face September
with no i1ea of rushing into shops and
buying everything that is offered be-
cause it is labeled "New." Maybe it is,
and maybe it isn't. But feeling of
panic among buyers that now is the
only chance to get enough clothes to
carry one through the winter results
in the very thing that the government
desires most to see ayoided-reckless
spending of money So buy shrewdly,
and not for boarding.
IL there is to be economy in clothes,
let it begin this week. 1t is at this
time, between the seasons, that a wom-
an can take thought of her wardrobe
and twist and turn it according to pre-
vailing fashion, in way that win serve
her until styles are more settled. Then,
when she has to buy much, she will
buy wisely and we'll
Help in Remodeling Clothes.
Here are some prophecies that may
help You to be economical and wise.
One of them sounds like the first aid
to an injured wardrobe. 1t comes di-
rect from Paris. b is that checks,
stripes and mosaic blocks are widely
worn in whole suits and parts of suits.
Can YOU imagine any piece of news
more gratefully received than that
which gives a woman chance to make
new coat TO an old skirt, or the
other way around?
There are colored stripes on a white
background, made of heavy wooden ma
terial and built into a skirt to be worn
with any slip-on cuirass or short jack
ct of colOred cloth or velvet.
Skirts are narrow. AS the govern
ment will allow shoes to be s inches
from the ground, the skirts need not
be heightened. For the present they
remain moderately short. What the
near future will bring out no one can
say.
