In discussion of the question of the removal of extravagant boards of guardians Lady Astor had mentioned the word "corruption" in connection with West Ham guardians. Three members immediately pressed her to name a single instance, and on re- ceiving only a general answer asked her to withdraw the allegation, She declined to do so, and Jack Jones said that it was, perhaps, because she came from a country where they knew something about corruption that Lady Astor was so glib about it. In the heat of his excitement Mr. Jones went so far as to call his femi- nine opponent a "dirty liar." On the urgings of fellow-members, he with- drew these words, although with the remark: "But they are quite bibli- cal." Deputy Speaker Dunnico attempt. ed to make peace, whereupon Mr. Jones rejoined: "I have had so many insults from this lady that I am re- senting them every time." Meanwhile Lady Astor was arguing with another Labor member, where- upon the Speaker said he would be glad if she kept quiet. She sprang to her feet and said: "I really very much resent that remark." The Speaker replied: "The honorable lady has interrupted again and again and must keep quiet during debate." The reeriminationst continued and Jack Jones again interjected: "I tell her straight to her cheek that I am a better man drunk than she is sob- er, Arthur Schreiber claims to be the world's champion stowaway. | have seen one or two youngsters at Sunday school treats who could probably give him a few buns start!

Over- ripe melons are as dangerous to health as those that are under- ripe so care ghould be taken in selecting melons, Cantaloupe can not be served in so many different ways as watermelon can. However, it is delicious when served in its natural state--thoroughly chilled and if not sufficiently sweet, sugar may be added. Many people prefer salt, As a dessert ice cream is often served in half a cantaloupe. Some prefer whipped cream, and can- died fruit or pineapple syrup are delicious fillings for cantaloupe.

Robert Forke An nounces Policy of Ottawa This Year Winnipeg, July 24--With a light grain crop in western Canada this year, the Canadian government has decided to extend no call to Great Britain for the unemployed to come to the dominion and help in the har- vesting, declared Hon. Robt. Forke, Canadian minister of immigra- tion, who arrived in Winnipeg last night. He stressed the fact that there is sufficient help in Canada to suc- cessfully harvest this year's crop. "I have been through the west," he declared when interviewed, "and 1 found crops rather light. This means that we will not need as many har- vesters this year as last. There arc sufficient men in Canada to harvest this year's crop. We will not even need as many men from the east. Be- cause of this light crop, we will make no call upon Great Britain for her unemployed to come to Canada to help in the harvesting. We will not need them, This is definite." Mr. Forke expects to return to Ot- tawa toWard the end of the month. Put CLEARANCE of Summer Dresses Reasonable THE FASHION SHOPPE 84 Simcoe St. S.

Gone are the days of the Ey "snowy counterpane'" and the chill purity of table linen and window Bangings. Even the bathroom and the kitchen, long and last strong- holds of clinical geverity, have yielded to the rising tide of color- ful audaeity. ing harmony is demanded of our homes Instead of gloomy dignity. Nothing is more magical, inex- pensive and smart for harmonizing and modernizing the home than thu slip cover. It might be called the fairy godmother of furniture, since it is able to touch into beauty the drabbiest cinderwench of a char or sofa and give it a place where it may touch elbows with princely pieces clothed in brocade or needie- point. Great latitude is allowed in the | No longer is a rigid too strict period furniture considered smart, ana amid this apparent freedom and spontaneity the danger is that the amateur decorator may run into too great exuberance of pattern ana hue. The room, for all its air of variety and ease, must be well uni- worked out in advance, as well as what one might call a scale of quality. One might have {in the same room, say, a wing chair in soft stripes of coppery brown to go with curtains and hangings of blue sné green on a buff ground, And ane other large chair in a soft harmon- izing green. OF, if one had a scheme of blue-green with soft yellow walls and curtains, there might be one large armghair frocked in yeunuw linen and another in figured stuff in harmonious shades of green and yellow. Plain and patterned goods of the same weave relieve each other beautifully. To make slip covers at home is not the difficult undertaking it might at first appear. Any girl who is color-clever, or has uny practice at all in the cutting and arranging of material, can achieve a successful result if. she is willlag to take pains. Measurements must be accurately taken, and fitting and sewing carefully done, and the well-tailored look naturally follows. After the measurements are taken and the general plan decided on, the first step is to make a rough pattern of paper. Not long ago a pad cushion was ordered for a valuable antique bench from a well known decorating firm. a smart young woman was sent from the shop to the apartment to get the needful measurements, and the first thing she did was to get down modern room. color scheme or Nowadays an amus- | lon her knees before the bench with la larze newspaper from which sue proceeded to make a complete and | detailed pattern. This she folded linto her bag and took away. In | due time the pad came very well-- land also very expensively made. | Any deft-fingered housewife could {have done as well. | If a dificult frock is to be made. {say for a wing-chair, fit is very | helpful, after a paper pattern has | been "roughed out," to make an- {other more exact one from an old | sheet. This insures perfect sy | metry and accuracy, and prevents any waste of material. What may seem like additional trouble at first is really a labor saving advan- {tage in the long run. If expensive | material is to be used, it need not even be bought until the muslin | pattern has been made. | One of the most important points |to remember is to allow plenty of | material to tuck back into the in- ter-sections of the upholstery, that |is to say, at the juncture between |the arms and back, and especially {where the seat and back come to- | gether. . If this precaution is ne- glected the cover will be jerked out {of place with ruinous effect when- lever the springs are crushed down. | After the material has been eut and fitted and well basted, (em phasis on well), it must be neatly sewn with matching thread, and a | much better effect may generany be obtained by making the seam un the outside of the slip. This seam may be finished in one of several ways. Very pretty seam-bindings are now obtainable in plain colurs and fancy patterns, all folded and ready to apply. Just now however, it is smarter to use a plain Frenca seam or a cording of self material. The cover may be finished plain- ly at the lower edge of the uphol- stery, or it may have a box-pleated flounce reaching to the floor, or one hanging partway down, de- pending on the effect desired. The full-length box-pleated flounce is most usual, and in most cases most graceful. Last but not least {important { point to keep in mind is the open- ing to be left for ease in removina, and the kind of fasteners to use. The placket should be only enough to permit of easy adjustment, and should be neatly faced or bound. Large snap fasteners may be used for closing, but the talon fasteners which come on tape and may be sewed in place are excellent and laundry proof. Materials suitable for these re- juvenating frocks range all the way from quaint old-fashioned calico to imported hand-blocked linens and such-like queenly fabrics. Chintz and the Co may now be found plain, semi- glazed, glazed or rubberized--the last being particularly good for nursery use, All the manufacturers seem to conspire in thé cheerful business of making the modern home more joyous, Somewhere, in some shop not far away, there is a quaint, or jocund or sophisticated piece of fabric, suited to every purse and every imaginable scheme of decoration. TORONTO Gif. AS THIRD WIFE Famous War Surgeon Sec- retly Divorced, Marries Toronto Nurse New York, July 24--Dr. Joseph A. Blake, famous war surgeon, from his country home at Eastbrook, Maine, confirmed last night his di- vorce from the former Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay. The interlocutory decree was sec- retly granted Mrs, Blake in Now York state in April, but neither she nor her attorney, would name the county. The divorce became final dir- ing the first week in July and wis EE hardly ten days old, when Dr, 3lake te-married. Thus ended the idyllic romance of the socially prominent physician and the erstwhile wife of the Postal Tele- graph magnate, which started the circumspect New York fashionables of two decades ago. At Eastbrook last night, Dr. Blake who is 65,.admitted he had taken an- other bride, a nurse in a Toronto hos- pital. They were married in Toronto last week, but the doctor said he preferred to keep the name of his third wife secret, as well as other details of the ceremony. Reports identified the bride, how- ever, as Miss Drake, who was known to ber intimates in the hospital by the nickname of "Ducky." At the Blake offices in New York city it was announced yesterday he had quit his extensive practice in the permanently to Eastbrook, which is castern metropolis and had retired on the mainland not far from Bar Harbor, He is living in seclusion there--presumably with his bride, al- though he would not say.
