FRIENDS OF SUNNY FRANCE
Scotsmen for Many Centuries Fought
and Lived Under the Flag
of the Bourbons.

Until the eventual fixture Of the
Hauoyerian line on the throne Of Bri-
tain, there was always a company, at
least. of Scots in the Royal Guard In
France. When Louis TX made his ia
tai crusade in Egypt, Scottish legion
fought under the Bourbon standards.
Likewise, in all the marches of Jeanne
dare there were Scottish volunteers.
Scottish schools, academies, hospitals,
converts ard other institutions -four
ished in France for many years. Queen
Marie, it is said, spent her last years
in exile in one of the Scottish con-
vents in Paris.
During these centuries, all France
was a land of pilgrimage for the
Scots. Trains of pilgrims were seen
annually assembling at Saint WAIST.
pious Scots also founded shrines at
Meaux. Rheims and in many secluded
wales of Champagne. AS late as 1910
manuscripts attest the presence of
Scottish emigrants, whose names soon
became confused with French forms.
If is said that one French king, de-
snairing of the frivolity Of his heir,
said TO him, eff thou should govern
them badly, would far rather that
Scot came to rule over them"

HONOR NOT ENTIRELY WATTS
At Least Two inventors Before Him
Had the Idea Of the Value of
Steam PoNen.

It is popular idea that we owe
the steam engine entirely to the inven-
tive genius of James Watt.
The Idea, however, Ia quite errone-
Gus, for steam was in use as motive
power before he came on the scene.
Several types of steam engine were
in use, notably Savory's and New
comen's.
But they were cumbersome, extrav-
agant, and of small power, and it was
while repairing a model of a Newcom-
en- engine that Watt, who was working
as mathematical instrument maker
at the time, evolved various improve
ments, notably the separate con-
denser.
Meeting Matthew Boulton, manu-
facturer of metal goods, he entered in
to partnership and they produced en-
gines, which at once established Watts
reputation. Improvements and inven-
tions followed quickly, one after the
other, and the present-day advance in
motive power is due to the pioneer
work of Watt. Even today the steam
engine remains the same in principle
as Watt evolved it.
1t is an interesting fact, by the way
that Watts workshop, exactly as he
left it, still exists at Heathfleld hall
Handsworth, where the engineering
genius spent the last nineteen years OF
his life carrying on scientific investi'

SOME BOOT AND SHOE LORE
How to Polish Footgear When Damp;
Trees Should Be Used to Relieve
the Pinch.

It sometimes happens that one wish
es to polish ones shoes when they are
damp. 1t is impossible then to get
good polish and yet you have not the
time to wait until they are thoroughly
dry. If a few drops of paraffin are
placed on cloth and this is then rub
bed over the leather there will be no
trouble. Apply the polish in the usual
way thereafter, and the result will be
most satisfactory.
If new shoes do not naturally take
to polish simply take half lemon,
rub the leather with it, and then stand
aside to dry. After this treatment a
nice polish may be secured with little
effort.
On the first few occasions of polish
ing new brown shoes apply the polish
very literally. This will secure a
handsomely deep tone that will make
the shoes very attractive throughout
the rest of their "young lives"
1t goes without saying that shoe
trees should always be used. 1t pays
these days to use bit of care in pre-
serving the good looks and good shape
of ones shoes. A shoe really never is
well taken care of if shoe trees are not
used. Tissue paper may be used for
the same purpose if stuffed tightly in
to the shoes.
If boot or shoe pinches, try this :
While the shoe is on the foot or on a
tree, take small piece of cloth wrung
out of very hot water and put this over
the part that is giving trouble. The
pinching will disappear entirely after
this treatment.

Ball and Socket Has Best Holding
Quality; Press Buttons
Less Bulky.

The home dressmaker is sometimes
puzzled as to what type of fastener is
best to use in some particular garment
she is making. She will do well to re-
member, in the opinion of the home
economics department at the state col
lege at Ithaca, N. Y, that for holding
quality the ball and socket fastener
with a wire spring has the advantage,
while for flatness the press button is
to be preferred.
Warning is given against cheap fas-
teners. The better grades are made of
brass and will not rust, while many of
the cheaper grades have an iron foun-
dation which is poorly covered with
nickle or japan. These nearly always
leave rust stain when they are used
on wash fabrics.
The better grades, further, are more
carefully finished and therefore are

DRESSES FITTED TO FIGURE
Style Necessitates More Closely Mold
ed Corset; Waistline "Nipped;"
Bust Raised.

The silhouette is determined by the
figure lines. This being the case it fol-
lows that when there is a decided
change in the latter there must be a
corresponding change in corsets. Some
times it is the particular differentia-
tion in dress styles that brings about
the alteration in corsets, or that makes
imperative new silhouette. The rela-
ton between the corset and the outer
garment in their combined effect on
the silhouette is so exceedingly i'm
portant one cannot be affected without
influencing the other.
This season there appears to be an
effort to awaken interest in the silhou-
cite with the old-fashioned waist and
the resultant prominence to hip lines.
we find dresses fitted to the figure, in
the old-time acceptance of the term.
There may not be whalebones or their
substitutes, but the general effect sug-
gests more closely nodded corset, the
waistline "nipped," the bust raised
and the hips slightly widened.
Women with figures" as figures
used to be in the days before the ad-
vent of the revolutionary straight-front
corset, will doubtless be glad to adopt
the prototype of the stays Of some
two decades ago. And the corset de-
signers admit that should such an
adoption reach worthwhile proper
tions it would mean a marvellous busi-
unSc for tho oorSpf trade
Whatever is conducive to universal
change in the world of fashion is bene-
fetal to those engaged in the exploita-
ton of any given article by such
| change. Business is stimulated, more
work is provided for every department
| and the countless ramifications there
| of, and the pulse of prosperity quick
ened accordingly.

Call For BlOuses
Latest Models for Dress Show-
ing Much Embroidery.
Two Types in the LimeIight-"Dressy"
and "Tailored"-Skirts to Match
and CoIors.

There are two sorts Of blouses for
fall: "Dressy" blouses so-called -
and tailored blouses. Wonderful has
been the rise and success of the
''dressy" blouse, which is almost in
variably made of chiffon and elaborate
ly garnished with silk embroidery.
One sees a few beaded blouses, but
their day is almost over. 1t is the
handsomely-embro blouse that is
distinguished this season and the more
embroidery the fiimsy georgette gar
uent will sustain the smarter the eff
feet. One of the amazing things about
feminine dress, to the masculine mind,
expensive waists in it's tissue-packed
delivery box and the extreme gorgeous
ness of it when a feminine person has
put it on.
One buys skirt to match her blouse
or at least to harmonize with it
or else the skirt is purchased first and
then matched" with a blouse. In this
way the desirable whole-costume effect
is achieved. And it is difficult to tell
the difference these days between a
whole frock in one piece and a skirt
and blouse combination of superior de-
sign, so successfully do the two sep
arate garments blend into each other.
The skirt has a decorative sash or
belt that matches the blouse or else
the blouse descends and incorporates
itself with the skirt. Of this type are
the panel blouses which drape over the
top of the skirt in front, belt or
sash finishing the waistline at the
back. One of these blouses is of ma.
hogany-colored georgette with a front
panel that droops nine or ten inches
below the waistline. This panel is
elaborately embroidered in navy blue
silk, the embroidered design in wide
looped bands filled in with triangular
motifs and bordered with heavy rope
stitch outlining the lower edge of the
dropping panel. There is no othel
embroidery on the blouse except fol
a narrow wristband which holds the
slashed sleeve in at the wrist.

BIuffine Among the Reptiles.

The ancient practice of blufing is
not limited to the human species. Va
rious animals pretend to be worse
than they are.
The hog-nosed snake. Is a perfectly
harmless little fellow, with no capa-
cities in the way of poison, and yet
this reptile, which is rather pretty, is
given such sinister names as f1at-head-
ed adder and sand viper, and is usual
ly killed on sight. This is because it
has the habit of flattening its head and
putting out its neck and kissing vio-
lently, which is for no other purpose
than to frighten off intruders. 1t is
plain bluff, to give the impression
that the reptile has poison fangs.
This counterfeit is usually taken at
its true value, and affords the hog
nosed snake considerable protection.
except in the case Of human beings,
who destroy the innocent reptile on
sight, when it Is not only harmless but
useful also in keeping down vermin.

BECOMING Wells AND STYLE
Face Coverings Bought by Yard and
Worn With Small Hat Super
sede Scroll Designs.

For the sort of veil that is bought
by the yard and worn with a small
hat, the geometric patterns have sus
perseded the scroll designs which have
now outworn their popularity. Some
excellent designs are composed of hex
agonal figures in heavy and thin
threads combined. Shades of brown
are very much liked, for the day IN
which women thought that a veil must
be either white or black is long since
over.
A very practical veil for woman
who is past her first youth is the sort
in which the pattern is concentrated
on the lower edge to the depth of about
three inches. When the veil is well
adjusted the accommodating pattern
hides either an incipient double chin
or a neck which is too thin and be-
ginning to grow wrinkled. If veil
in which a figure is scattered over a
plain surface is chosen, care must be
taken in adjusting it so that the figure
is advantageously placed.

acute or chronic. Nearly every case Is
caused by Acid-Stomach.
There other stomach disorders which

ing, heartburn, bloat after eating, food re-
peating, sour, gassy stomach. There are
many ailments which, while they do not
cause much distress in the stomach itself,
are, nevertheless, traceable to acid
stomach Among these are nervousness.
biliousness, cirrhosis of the liver, rheuna-
tisn, impoverished blood, weakness, insom-
mia, melancholia and a long train of phys
ical and mental miseries that keep the
victims in miserable health year after year.
The right thing to do is to attack these
ailments at their source-get rid of the acid
stomach. wonderful modern remedy called
EATONIC now makes it easy to do this.

users of EATONIC writes: 81 have been
