This gives the skirt the pinched-at-
the-bottom look which so many design
ers are clingins TO. And Ii Is not a
bad style II the skirt is long enough.
One ventures guess that the &eally
good dressers will never wear their
skirts shorter than II inches above
the floor. though some of the models
now being displayed soar to IA inches
or even more. II is the same way In
Paris. Those Parislans who like to
dress in extreme fashions wear their
skirts short, shorter. shortest-but the
really smart people keep theirs at a
uniform length according to the pro-
portions of the figure. This matter Of
proportion has much to do with the
length of skirts. tall person can
carry shorter skirt than her four
foot-four sister.
Afternoon Gowns Extremely Simple.
The satin and satin crepe afternoon
gowns are extremely simple as a gen.
eral rule. but they are interesting and
really feminine. There is something
about the softness Of satin folds that
makes woman look her best. espe-
cially when the material is handled
so that 1t has chance to adapt itself
to the lines Of her figure. A dress
in copper-colored satin Is draped in
two ways on the skirt. one side
sweeps from the left waistiine down
over the right leg and up to meet its
starting point. The other side does
the same thing in the opposite direc-
ton. The simple bodice Is trimmed
with a narrow banding OF gray fur
laid about a pointed neckline and the
flowing three-quarter length sleeves
are finished with cording OF the ma
terial itself.
Another satin frock In black has a
harem skirt broken In four places.
where rust-colored chiffon In generous
widths Is inserted. The chiffon is at
tached TO the satin so that when the
skirt is pulled out at the sides IL gives
somewhat the effect of striped ball
loon. The kimono waist has a loose
panel bloused over at the waistline
and lined with the rust-colored chiffon.
Beaded evening gowns are quite the
thing, and many are the varieties Of
beading. 1t grows more original all
the time. this manner of trimming.
A handsome black dinner gown ia
made of heavy crepe de chine beaded
Ia JET over the entire surface. The
gown is cut In one piece and has M
extra fuIlness. The pattern of bead
embroidery displays itself In harmony
with the lines of the gown. 1t is one
of the handsomest gowns produced SO
far this season.

This probably as much as anything
Else will give some idea of the state
Of mind OF the Western Canada farm
n. as he watches the tally from the
:hrashing machine while his wheat Is
being carried to the elevator.
From all sections Of the country,
he most optimistic reports are re-
.eived. the local and city papers are
illed with reports from twenty to thir-
y bushels of wheat to the acre, while
n some places oats are showing rec
ord Of as high as 100 bushels to the
acre
Referring to Saskatchewan. 1t is con-
hdently expected that the wheat yield
will be nearly 125 million bushels.
Heavy rains which fell in districts that
lid not promise so well in July, had
greatly improved the prospects there,
and there is no question that paying
yields will be produced. The yields
in the eastern part Of the province
may not show to the advantage that
will those of the western part, but
too much cannot be said of this, for it
Is the results as they come from the
machine. and often these prove happily
deceptive.
There Is now every reason to believe
that the wheat crop Of the three prai-
RE provinces will approach $50 mill
lion bushels.
Alberta will exceed the 20 million
bushels that had been looked for. The
average yield will be considerably
higher than it has been in the province
In any of the last four years.
The Department of Agriculture in a
recent report gave the opinion that it
cannot fall below twenty-five bushels
to the acre, and that it might easily
pass the twenty-five bushel mark.
Most of the wheat in the province
when the report was written, stood
well up to three feet high. and on
some fields was still higher. The re-
port goes on that in parts of South
ern Alberta forty and fifty bushels to
the acre yields will not be uncommon,
while there will be good many yields
of from thirty to thirty-five bushels
TO the acre.
In the northwest part of the prov
ince. in the country surrounding Bat
tleford and adjacent to the Canadian
National Railway line to Lloydminster,
and south the crops are excellent and
the yield will be heavy.
A larger than average wheat crop
is being thrashed in Manitoba. 1t has
been estimated that the total yield
of the three provinces will not be less
than 225.000,000 bushels. and it may
be that somewhere between 250,000.-
600 and 3O0.O00,000 bushels will be the
final figure.
Oats is a good crop in all three
provinces. This crop has also grown
rapidly during the last two or three
weeks. Excepting from those fields
which were sown late for green feed
the yield will be heavy and the grain
excellent. Barley and rye are above
the average. There was sufficient help
to harvest the crop.-Advertisement.

infants Should Be Allowed the Advan-
tage of Being Nursed by the
Mother.

(By T. s. Public Health Service.J
The most loving act mother can do
s nurse her baby. When baby nurses
it not only gets the best food, but 1t
is less liable TO many diseases, such
as summer complaint, commissions and
tuberculosis.
OF every 100 bottle-fed babies 25 die
in the first year of life: of every 100
breast-fed babies only six die in the
first year of life.
Nearly every mother can nurse her
0aby during the first three or four
months of its life, and If she can
nurse it for ten months so much the
better.
There may be an abundant supply
of milk after the first few weeks. even
If there is but little at first; the act
of nursing causes the milk to come
INTO the breasts and increases the
