There is bravery among women which has little to do with the de- mands for sudden courage that comes when a city Is being bombed It is bravery which hourishes con- sistently, like a hardy plant, as 1t meets continued defeat with the hope that some day the rains will fall, the winds will blow, and the crops will grow again.
 For the ninth successive year. the farmers of the Canadian West have sown their seeds hoping that autumn would bring a harvest, only to watch the crops. dry up and shrivel as hot winds devastated their planting and the rain would not come. Women have gone into fields with the men, saying that if they labored together, they could work faster and maybe, this year, there would be crops. t...
 No women have complained that they are vanquished in the fight with elements Throughout Southern Saskatchewan and AL berta they are preparing for an- other year. They are not asking their husbands to leave the land which their fathers before them

(NEA Service Stan C0rreSp0ndent)
 One of the outstanding cosmetics manufacturers advise shoppers for new fall makeup to buy powder which, when tinted by the reflected color of their costumes, will make cheeks and lips vividiy healthy look. ing. .
 The authority argues that while colors in dresses do not actually change the tone of your skin, their reflection seems to. l
 For example. you know that you need more rouge when you wear slate blue than when you wear scar- let. If you have picked autumn clothes in some of the new coiors, like Porto, pressed grape, currant inc, blue plum or ariior green, do take pains to see what they do to your skin tones, then find makeup which combats bad effects or dra- matiZed good ones. Moderns know that anyone can wear any color she likes-if she takes the trouble to find q rouge which makes skin look naturally pinkish and healthy fin spite of the tendency of certain shades to drain her cheeks Of color.
 It's an excellent idea to wear your new billiard green or smoke gray or mahogany dress to your favorite cosmetic department. Stand before a large mirror and order a hand mir TOT, too. Ask to be given samples of rouge, then try several tones until you find one which is fiattering. You might as well realize before you start that the orangish tones are not likely to be nice. Black and other smart fall colors call for blue rather than orange or rusty under tones. l.
 If you always have bought powder hurriedly, simply asking for the shade by name, this is an excellent time to find out whether or not that shade really matches your skin tones. Skin usually gets a trifle darker as one grows older, so don't be too sure that the powder which

WHAT, PAY FOR TESTING ONIALS?

Vague recollection we used to hear about unsolicited testi- monials." Not in recent years, how ever, for that quaint idea has been drowned out by the shouting of the professional testimonial givers who boast of their easily-earned pin- money and joke about the deception they have practiced.
 A reader sends an unsolicited testimonial expressing the pleasure and benefit he has obtained from reading this column for years, and wishing me success, happiness and peace for many years to come. He goes into some personal details to show why and how he has bene- fitted, and then offers novel sug- gestion.
 Practically the man proposes an essay or letter contest, for readers of this column. He would have us offer prizes for the best letters or brief essays telling actual ex- periences whereby the writers have gained in mental or physical well being, freedom from illness or per- haps recovery from some abnormal condition through knowledge or ad- vice given here or by correspond ence.
 No, no, brother, 1t can't be done. That would be buying testimonials. The hope of winning prize would naturally inspire some readers.
 If any one has benefited or thinks he has benefited in any way by reading this column or by writing to me for information or advice, there is no law to prevent the bird from saying so.
 Perhaps I'm queer about this, but 1t only gives me pain when some one says I'm just wonderful and I do so much good and will I kindly send prescription for this or that.
 But, boys, I still get thrill out of a letter received several years ago from a mother who wrote to thank me for having given such clear instructions for artificial res- piration. She had dragged her child out of c pond and resuscitated the child by following the instructions had given. Or from this letter written by a man in the northwest:

I truly believe have you to thank for the fact that am still living.

WOMAN,S REALM
AEsENIB 2
 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

By all means let your boy or girl Ro visiting. Don't hesitate for fear they will be lonely. If they are, and cry for home and mother, they will soon get over 1t. And once they do this they are as proud as can be of their independence.
 once upon a time, we had an experience of this kind. Our girls had gone to camp far, far away. The younger one would be lonely, we knew, as she was terribly petted by the family. Even a night away at 0randmas just about finished her. But we sent her anyway. She needed to learn several things the camp could give her.
 Then came the first heat-brok- en letter. I had to steel myself against her pitiful complaints and let time take Q hand. But in a few days came the second, and then the third, much mispelled, be- cause she was quite young. This was too much, so her father and l de- cided to take the car and 90 and get her. Which we did, all but the getting.
 t Wanted to Stay
 During the interval between re- ceipt of her late note and the day we arrived at camp, something's had occurred to change her mind While we were being greeted by the Camp Mistress and before I had time to explain the cause of our errand, felt 6 tug ct my dress There was the homesick one mo- tioning me aside. What Is 1t dear?" l asked.
 T like 1t now and want to stay, was the answer.
 Are you sure2"
 "Ycs. I made these colorcd beads and the riding master led me around on horse."
 How do you like your tent mates?" This was what was real ly anxious to know from this shy unsure little girl.
 "They are all nice and kind. Ano Flo and Betty are my friends"
 Sure you don't want to gc home" I persisted.
 Shyness Conquered
 No, she certainly didn't. So I as. sured her that she could stay, ane complimented her on being req sport. We drove away without thu passenger we had anticipated. Per. haps all she needed was to catch { glimpse of us, but l think not. Sht had tried to conform to situation and had conquered her own shy. ness. It was Q victory, although sht did not know 1t. She stayed thu summer and went back the nex year.
 And SO 1t is with most children, believe. Whether 1t Is camp or an. other place, to get away from tht usual familiar life and fixed ideas ol comfort and family ties is good. day, Q week or month-it doesn'i matter-jolts the child out of think ing that he can be happy only witt the world running in one direction He learns necessary adjustment ts new things and new people. H' learns independence, of the righI sort. And he learns to eat beam fixed another way, which is ofter more than he will do at home. Copyright, 1887, NEA Service, Incl

or would you blame it all on glands? (Miss J. G)
 Answer Growth in stature may continue until the age of 25 years, though after eighteen or nineteen the average increase in height is usually less than an inch. Measure ments of college women recorded for many years indicate that girls today are an inch or two taller than the average height of girls twenty or thirty years ago. Whether the explanation of this increased stature is question of nutrition or duct less gland function or climate or hererity is conjectural.
