CANADA EXPORTS PITCH
Supply for Briquettes Exhausted in
France and Spain.

By Times Special
MONTREAL, Dec. ga shortage
of pitch for making fuel briquettes
in France and Spain has resulted
in a sudden increase in the export
of that commodity from Canada.
Montreal, which previously never
had exported any pitch, loaded 5000
tons of it on a Norwegian tramp
steamer bound for Havre, France,
in November, and a further 1,478
tons we're loaded at Toronto on an
other boat destined for Roquefort,
France.

WASH HINCTON FASHIONS = By Wilma Ldvd|e

One of the ways we're being
practical this year, and smart at
the same time, is by wearing
dresses that can change them
selves into another type, or that
can be varied by the use of other
collars and cuffs, or another
bib and tucker Of some sort.
They're fascinating dresses, and
if we have two or three changes,
plus a little bit of old-faShioned
ruching, or a silk scarf or so
that can be worn as jabot, we
can appear to have a different
dress every day of the week.
Then for travelling, or for a par
ticularly auStere occasion when
we want to look somber and ask
for a day off, or something of
the sort, we can wear it without
any trimming whatsoever, for
all these dresses are nicely fin
ished about the neck and sleeves,
with square or round neckline,
or plain V, so that they do not
need any other ornamentation.
Any Simple Dress
Both wool and silk appear in
these versatile versions. A sim
pie sheer wool is excellent, in
any dark or vivid color. and
you can vary belt as we'll as
collar and cuffs. A black or
brown rough silk crepe is even
better, for you can wear it for
almost any occasion, with a
change of neckwear. Many
dresses have a Wide-Shouldered
cape, or a nuns or choir boys
collar that buttons on with big
buttons, the buttons forming
trimming for the plain dress.
Some frocks even have detach-
able sleeves, so that they can do
the utmost in quick changing.
Change Every Day q.
An excellent dress for a six
days-a-week' costume, is the one
we've sketched with bib and
cuffs buttoned on. The dress
is of a rough black silk crepe,
with plain round neck. You
can unbutton both the cuffs and,
bib of white silk crepe, and use
the dress with a little round
collar, with a nuns collar, most
becoming to most people. with a
pleated organdie bib, with a
little high collar and jabots,
such as you can get at any
neckwear counter, or with some
white ruching that is newly
smart this fall. Or for travel
ing, you can wear it without
any white about it, as the metal
buttons are trimming enough.
This dress is SIS. We've shown
it sketched with another type
of collar and cuffs.
The other dress is not con-
vertible in as many ways, but is
marvellous in its ability to
change from a striking black
and white afternoon dress. to a
very gay affair that is more OF
a street costume. II has a sur

Shall She Tell Him?

Dear Miss Fairfax:
About two weeks ago I met

with a young man. He. is .26
and I am %. 1 don't know
If he cares for me or not, for
1 have never been out with
him alone. He didn't seem
to notice me when I met in
company, yet 1 find myself
thinking of him all the time.
How do you think he would
take it if 1 wrote to him and
told him 1 loved him? He
lives a long way from here
and on account Of his work,
may not come here for a long
time. I have been keeping
company with another boy, but
I have never loved him.

Let's consider your case, as
if it was someone's else. You
didn't meet this young man ti4
two weeks ago, and he didn't
seem to notice you then, and
you've never been out with him
alone.
Don't you think he would be
amazed to get a letter from a
girl he hardly knew and per-
haps didn't remember, telling
him she was in love with him?
And don't you think it would
make him very conceited? Use
your imag:%~2tion. Suppose you
ask the friend at whose house
you met him if he is likely to
come again, and perhaps she
might invite him over again,
or you might arrange a party
to his town-you'd have to be
very clever and discreet to do
this-in these days of motor

Life can not always be a thing
so fair
AS that our hearts desire;
But every shadow makes what
light is there
Shine forth with brighter fire.
If with each morn a wealth Of

Should flood the whole wide
Earth.
And gladness dwelt among us
all year long.
How should we gauge their
worth?
But when for you and me the
course is set
Through days Of constant

When Promise, side by side
with pale Regret,
Treads pathways new and

At last we glimpse the wis

Announcing the BetrOthal

Announcing the BetrOthal
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I am planning to announce
my engagement by giving a
dinner for our families. What
would you suggest as the SIM
plest way of announcing our
engagement to our friends.
2. Is it proper to send be-
trothal cards by mail? And
when should they be sent, inn
rnediately after the dinner or
at any time? w.
l. The simplest way is the
best form for making this an
nouncement: this is, telling
your relatives, as you plan to
do by this dinner, and then
telling or writing your friends.
II, for instance, your dinner is
on Thursday, you would write
notes of the happy announce
ment on Friday, and then per-
hapS your parents would like
to make a formal announce
ment in the newspapers of Sat
urday or Sunday. This is all
the announcement that there
need to be, for this informs the
people most definitely con-
cerned.
2. Betrothal cards are not in
good taste and are not used by
the socially accustomed. The
informal note is the better
taste.

AS sometimes happens when

This started with an opening

More than 80 per cent OF all

that was so smart. Dummy was
put in the lead by having it
