White Lie Told in

Lives of Hundreds

Montreal-Thls is a story OF white
lie, which was told in the White Sea-
1t was told by the chief steward or
a White Star liner at present in port
at Montreal, just at the conclusion
of record fast trip in twenty years
The chief steward who has held his
post over thirty years was in COM
municative mood after the successful
trip his liner has just made.
During the evacuation of the Muir

of refugees and troops were being

one of the liners, a new White Star
vessel was blown Into a reef close in

her bottom plates to pieces, also

other department heads being present.
Tn captain stated colby that IN mis-
own opinion when the ship got on the
reef with the rising tide, she would
take water in SO quickly that it would
simply be nose dive into deep water.
The chief steward then reported that
every man, woman and child on the
ship wore a lifebelt, even the babies.

the captain, I'VE may as well make
preparations for the worst.
The conference was over and the
chief steward left the captains cabin
and stood at the top Of the stair above

Economy of travelling by automobile
as compared with travelling on the
railroads is emphasized by the in
crease of 20 per cent in railroad pas
senger fares and so per cent in Pull
man rates. Automobile manufacturers
believe these increases will stimulate
motor travel considerably during the
coming year.

Wide circulated rumors that gaso-
line would be rationed unless con-
sumption was decreased have been
emphatically denied by oil company
and government officials. All say that
there is no danger of an imminent
gasoline shortage. They advise, how
ever, that all users should eliminate
waste wherever possible.

STYLE HINT WHIsPERINes
FROM THE SHOPS

The shops are fascinating at all
times OF the year, but Spring, Fall and
Christmas appeal to me more than
any other. Christmas we all love.
with the windows filled with toys and
gifts and surrounded by evergreens
land the seasons festooning. But dur
ing the Spring and Fall we are on the
watch for the new models, and Milady
passes many hungry moment before
the huge plate glass that protects an
exquisite evening gown or wrap, tail
ored suits with smart lines and the
new millinery which appears here and
there.
The fall styles are more elaborate
than those displayed last Spring
beads are used extensively as trim
ming, many of the serge frocks are
embroidered with very effective pat
terms. Worsted is used some also.
Duvetyn hats are quite the rage and
some very lovely ones l have seen in
reindeer or French blue. The rein
deer duvetyn hat, which would be so
charming on the slender young girl,
was fashioned in a semi-tam o. shan
er shape and embroidered around the
coronet brim with tan and deep red
worsted.
The colors used this season are rich
and artistic, pheasant, chow, dull rust
shade and browns are prominent. The
shapes vary in size, some are large,
others medium and small Trimmings
of ostrich, coke, monkey fur, embroi-
derry and rich metal and Chantilly
aces are used effectively.
To return to the frocks for the
young girl or matrons, you may see
from the description of this dress that
the pretty frocks from pretty little
pleatings grow, and for the studious
| girl is this model Of fine navy serge,
straight of line and very conservative
of trimming. Two pleated panels hang
from the waist, which is girdled in
bright Oriental silk. Milady would
like plaid skirt to add to her ward
robe, for one wool plaid skirt makes
many costumes; it gives variety to the
tailored suit, it will go with the sports
jacket or fur coat, it is absolutely
right with the favorite sweater and
lis always correct with the tailored
tub blouse. Many models may be
found especially rich in coloring and
good in fabric. In the college ward
robe one georgette frock is necessity
for those many formal affairs that lend
zest to college life. Navy, brown or
taupe are colors which intend that it's
days Of usefulness shall not be num-
bered The tailored skirt blouses are
Ian absolute necessity, for the school
or college miss never has too many
of these. They are tailored in simple,
becoming styles with smart collars and
good buttons. Easy to launder, and
that, as you know, is a most important
consideration away from home.
For the very young girl, what
pleased me more than any model in
the extensive stock of each shop that
visited was the bloomer dress.
navy blue serge frock with detachable
boomers. Could anything be more
practical or more girlishly becoming,
when it is made in Mother Hubbard
fashion with yoke shocked prettily
in bright-colored yarn and neat pom
gee collar as a finishing trick?

Wheels should be tested frequently

SUNDAY SERMON

Bishop Rowe spoke last evening in he Methodist church to goodly and interested congregation. In few ap- rrc9liate words he called attention to n fact of the greatly increased inter- est in the minds of people concerning the l:sc after death; the interest greatly quicIened by the great and terrible war involving the world in the past few years. Millions of souls have suddenly passed into the great be- yond, and it is no wonder that those left to mourn their sons and relatives are anxiouSly endeavoring to peer in- to the ,uture to catch a glimps or gain some definite knowledge of their pres ent state" said the Bishop. "The only definite knowledge we have, however is found in the words, life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and up- on these facts we should strengthen OUT faith and quicken our spiritual lives.
 "AS We lcok about us we see on all tides injustice, suffering, sorrow and misery, and reason impels us to the belief that somewhere, somehow there is provided by God, in whose image We are created, a place and condition where wrongs will be made right and justice will be done to those who have not had fair chance in this world. Thus reason and good judgement come to our aid to bid us cling to a live and active faith in the life and teaching ot our Master"
