Returning from that town, the other side of BassenthWaite Water may be taken, and the rest of the way back 10 Grasmere is identical with the out ward run. The distance. including the circuit of DerweHtwater. Is about seventy=siX miles.
 But DerWentwater is worth a more leisured trip. for it's own sake. The trip from Grasmere to Keswiek and iae circuit of DerWenfwater and hack IS thirty-fye miles. The advantages are with the tourist proceeding to hesWlek and there turning left and past the church, following the eastern side Of the lake to Lodore. where the 'tails of Ledore," sung by Southey. Will be found. Beyond we come to Shepherds Grag. oyerhanging the road. and past the Borrowdale hotel and the narrow pass called the Jaws of Bor- roWdaie,' whose rocks so greatly alarmed Gray 150 years ago. At Grange where the River Derwent flows out of Derwehtwater, the road abruptly turns. to follow the western lakeside. In the pleasant vale at Grange is that giant rock, the 'sBowder Stone.n
 He peculiar advantages of staying at Grasmere are many. Not least among them is that within five miles yeu have not only Grasmere itself, rtYaling Derwentwater for loveliness but Rydal Water. and the town of Am bleside. with Wthdermere. the largest and most popular of the lakes beyond. All are within an easy walk for the tourist staying ct Grasmere, who will scarce take out his car when he can indulge in pleasant footpath rambles for a change.
 The ear is for farther afield For example the run to Penrith. along Jllswater. The out and home run is i ftfty-six miles. The best way from I GraSmere is to take the Windermere i road, IS far as Waterhead; thence turning to the left and up to Trout l beck. The nearer route, up from Am i bleside 10 KirkstOne Pass, is an ex- l ceedingly steep climb. but it can be | taken on the return.
 On the way to Ullswater the gloomy little mountain town of Brothers Wa 1 ter Is passed, and then comes the de scent to pleasant, sunny Patterdale. Here the seven miles long lake of Ulswater, the second longest of the .=#.zs, bysias, ski.,ed oii the nay Dy delightful road, with the waterfall of Aira Force midway, spouting from it's woody glen. Ullswater ends at pooley l Bridge whence it is seven and a half miles into the quaint old market town of Penrith, passing Yanwath Hall. now q farm house, but good surviving specimen of the fifteenth century for tified border residence; and thence over the ancient Eamont Bridge, built in 1425

Wearer. There is q great variety Of shapes in meshes-square, diamond shaped, heXagonal and oblong, wltE all sorts of incOnspicuous crossbars and figures to add interest to them. Street yeils have light woven-in bor- ders and they are worn either hanging free or fastened about the neck, after the manner of the three veils shown in the picture.
 Veils should be tried on and se- lected for becomingness. as hat shapes are. Some meshes make the face look more youthful and others seem to re veal wrinkles. For clearing up the skin and bringing out color dark blue, sapphire, and national blue are all ef- fective. Taupe and black find more admirers than any other colors
 There are some small face wells only large enough to extend from hat brim to chin, and they are made to be pinned or to be slipped on and held in place with small, round elastic cord. The floating yeils shown at the right and bottom of the group are knotted in at the back sometimes as in the hat shown at the upper left side. These are popular styles. soft, becom. ing. and desirable

Now is the time when the warm coat for midwinter comes up for consider ation and the buyer goes eheerfully forth to see what she can see. She is destined to find quite q number of new coatings represented in thick, soft weaves and, if gifted with q retentiye mind, she may be able to commit their various names to memory. They all seem to be variations of cloths that We have known in the past as Bolivia, 2ibeline, duvetyn rough mixtures and other heavy, woody fabrics that are eoZy looking. Some of them we know to be strong and sturdy, others look as promising. Taken as whole, coatings are richer looking than they have ever been, which is q pleasant thing to cOntemplate-and measured by prices they certainly ought to look rich
 Some of the new coats are extrava- gantly high priced and there has been an increase in nearly all of them. The cheerfulness of the buyer is apt to be somewhat dampened unless her purse Is long, for fur-trimmed coats must be classed among the luxuries of the

rich. Pile fabrics are warm and rich looking and have proved to be most durable. Coats of these pushes sell at a reasonable price and so do those of heavy wools that are woven like steamer rugs or army blankets, Leath- CT coats have been introduced to pro- vide warm coats at q medium price.
 The two coats shown i'll the picture above are good examples of styles for all-round general wear. They are cut on the most practical lines with muf- fer collars, big pockets and roomy sleeves. The coat at the left has q narrow belt of cloth with long ends that loop over at the front. A few bone buttons make themselves useful for fastening at the waistline and col lar and ornamenting the cuffs. In the coat at the right. the buttons are cloth-covered and the belt slips through a slide at the front. A luXu- rious collar of skunk fur may be brought up and fastened at the throat, in the face of stormy weather or be- fore the teeth of an icy wind. These are both attractive coats and types of styles that are soft and becoming as well as warm and durable.

There is something very alluring about veils. They are among the be longings of women, that are peculiar ly their own; mere man having no share in this kind of apparel. The wedding veil is vision that girlhood cherishes and thrills over. Veils are significant and charming-and have in most cases no other season for exist ence. But they contribute to neat ness, if one must be practical, and they are often very flattering. It is the element of style in them. with be- comingness. that makes them dear to the hearts of women and provides us with ever-changing weaves and pat terms to choose from.
 Some modistes have featured veils as an essential part of the trimming of hats, in their displays of fall mill linery. The all-over lace patterns ap- pear to have given place to mesh veils with borders. these borders being often in lace pattern or having q floral de sign applied to the mesh. Veils fall about the face and head from small and medium-sized hats in ways that seem casual but are not. They are sometimes draped with the border about the hat and the plain edge hang ing down, but this is exceptional; |; nearly always the plain edge is placed about the shape and the border de- fines the bottom of the veil.
 Among the very elegant veils used on dressy hats those of chantilly lace are conspicuous. The mesh is fine in these, and the border a floral pattern above a scalloped edge usually. Black and taupe gray are the favored coors for yeils. either color proving praeti- cal for the street and becoming to the

FACTS AND FIGURES OF WAR
Immensity of Supplies Needed in Mod. ern Conflict Revealed by Sir
 Douglas Hag.

These are some of the amazing facts ln Sir Douglas Haig's final dispatch:
 General headquarters received 5000 telegrams in one day, and 3400 let terS hy dispateh-riderS. One army headquarters had 10000 telegrams in q day. and the daily telegrams on the lines of communication were 23000.
 There were 1,500 miles of telegraphs and telephones, and 3,GSS miles of rail- ways, on which 1,S00 trains ran weekly.
 In six weeks 5,000,0J0 rations were supplied, by our armies in France, to S00.O0o civilians in the relieved areas.
 Two hundred tons dead weight of supplies and stores were required daily for the maintenance of each di- vision.
 The total daily ration strength of our armies was 2,700,000. An addi- ton of one ounce 10 each mans ra- tions represented aE extra D tons.
 Over 100000 horses and mules and 4G.7OO motor vehicles were used, and 4.5OO miles of road made or main tained.
 In 1914 there was one machine gun to 800 infantrymen in the British army; when peace came there was one machine gun to 20 infantrymen
 Over T00,000 tons of ammunition were fired by our artillery on the western front from August, 1919, to the armistice.-Montreal Herald.

WIND HELPS ROAD BUILDERS
When Used in Construction of High ways in New Mexico Experiment
 Is Successful.

A new method of using the wind in sand-road construction has proved so successful, that, after making a nine mile experimental stretch in New Mex ieo, roadmakers in that state have built 80 miles of similar highways. First of all, the grass and weeds are cleared from the right of way. and then a trench is made through the sand to the clay bottom. The loose sand is deposited in stacks ten feet from either side of the cut, and the rest of the work is left to the desert winds. During the spring and fall, the winds sweep away all the sand and widen the clay strip. Then the road is graded and the work finished.

MANURE FOR SMALL FRUITS
Large Amount of Plant Food Is Re- quired by Currants and Goose
 berries-Apply in Fall.

Currants and gooseberries require
 rge 2mcgntS of plc- cd CGl @s,s tl,,c feeding roots are shallow and do not extend far, it must be readily available and close at hand. Thorough cultiva- tion and manuring are important. Stable manure Is the best fertilizer ana 1t is difficult to apply too much in grow ing these fruits.
 Young plantations need not he fer tilized heavily, but after the plants be- gin to bear fruit heavy annual dress ings of well-rotted manure should be applied, preferably in the fall or win ter, to keep them in good productive condition.
 Commercial fertilizers may be used 10 supplement stable manures. Muriate or sulphate of potash applied at the rate of 100 to POO pounds per acre sometimes increases the production and quality of the fruit. If necessary to depend upon commercial fertilizers as source of plantfood, one containing s per cent available nitrogen, 10 per cent available phosphoric acid and 4 per cent available potash applied at the rate of 800 to 1000 pounds per acre, is recommended. However, in uS- ing commercial fertilizers it should be remembered that they add only the mineral clements to the soil. and it is therefore necessary to employ the use of stable manure, or cover crops, each year to maintain good supply of humus which is highly important in growing these fruits.-Michigan Exper- iment station

children,s snendlnq Money.

The practice of doling out money to the children by dribbles, when they tease for 1t. and without holding them to any responsibility in the matter of spending it. is undoubtedly responsible for most of the prevalent unthrift among our young people. It is quite natural that this childish attitude to- word money should continue even into inc period when the young person be- comes il money-earner on his own ac- count and oftentimes, into his adult Iife as well.-Thrift Magazine.

BERRY PATCH IS IMPORTANT I
Orchard Is Not Complete Without Generous Selection as to Kind

An orchard is not complete without d generous selection as to kind and varieties of berries. Without the ber- " patch the orchard will hardly come up to your expectations in supplying fruits during the fruit bearing season. Tn fact you will miss the berries and there will be no other fruit to take their place.
