In this blouse it is combined with revers which outline a V shaped nëpk. The deep pelerine lace cape is also a style feature of this lace blouse. .These circular collar-capes, sometimes so deep that they fall to the waist, are among the most attractive pieces of the new French neckwear designed to ,be worn over simple blouses or frocks. They are made of linen, batiste or organdie, and are embroidered in heavily padded designs with mercerized cotton or cut out .into dashing openwork re- tic ell a scrolls. A narrow.encircling collar that stands away from the neck is a part of a favorite. military blouse -- a very good collar for any one with a short neck.

New colored suit and dress braids have been introduced by Paris this season, a welcome variation of the black silk and mohair braids that have returned with a suddên rush to style.

A GOOD MEDICINE FOR THE SPRING Do Wot Use Harsh Purgatives --A Tonic is All You Need Not exactly sick--but not feeling quite well. That is the, way most people feel in' the spring. Easily tired, appetite fickle, sometimes headaches^ arid, a feeling of depression. depression. Pimples -.or eruptions may appear on the skin, or there may be twinges ôf rheumatism ofl* neuralgia. neuralgia. Any of these indicate that the blood is'out of order--that the indoor life of winter has left its mark upon you and may easily develop develop into more 'serious trouble. Do not dose- yourself with purgatives, purgatives, as so many people do, in the hope that you can put your blood right. Purgatives gallop through the system and weaken instead instead of giving strength. Any doctor doctor will tell you this is true. What you need in spring is a tonic tlhiàt will make new blood and build up the nerves. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is the only medicine that can do this speedily, -safely and surely. Every dose of this medicine makes new blood which clears the skin, strengthens the appetite and makes tired, depressed men, women and children bright, active and "strong. Mrs. S. E. Stephens, Ponoka, Alta., says : "I suffered severely from headaches, and was badly run down in health. I had tried several, remedies with no benefit, until I was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and these have fully restored restored my health, and I can recorii- mend them with confidence to all weak women."

Are We Downhearted Certainly not 1 arid no one less so than the British Chancellor, Mr. Lloyd George, judging by the pic r ture displayed above. Mr. Lloyd George.is extremely busy providing "silver bullets" for the war, and just now he is trying to persuade the people of the Old Country that they should stop drinking intoxicants intoxicants till the war is over, declaring that alcohol is thé greatest enemy the empire has at present. Healthy Fowls Pay. In breeding for eggs, the main requirement is first-class, healthy, vigorous stock. Such fowls, well managed and properly fed can not help but produce eggs. We must have vitality and constitutional vigor in fowls that are to be any good as egg machines îor as breeders. breeders. Only firstrdass ètdck should be kept for such purposes. HENS CAN'T SWIM. Problem of the Coat. It is much more Of a problem than it used to be, this question -of the right separate coat to go over the morning, afternoon or evening dress. When the number has to be reduced to its lowest terms because shortened purse strings or be ■^^vuse one may need a garment that can be worj^vvithout change during . the entire day the rife is much difficulty difficulty to find something that is rigrit, modish and at the same time in place. Here is a description of an out side coat that one can wear through an entire dav, say, if one comes to town, goes Chopping in the morn ing, to tea in the afternoon, and stays in town to dine. ' For this suede cloth or a first class duvetyri is just right. Taupe, dull green ■ or one of the dull orange or golden golden brown shades can be had in these materials. A king's blue, futurist or Homan striped lining gives life to such a garment , and lends it individuality when' it is thrown back over the' chair. For those who can return home several times during the day there is more choice. The forestry cloths and smart craveriette goods come in splendid neutral tones that, look well over any morning dress. Tweed coats on mannish Id ries are for those who live in the suburbs and need a smart outdoor sport coat. More summery are the bright corduroy and golfine coats in strawberry reds, grape purple and battle ship gray&/ With a round sport cap to match they make delightful spots of color on the landscape and are charming over white tennis skirts. Black satin is always charming for an elaborate afternoon or evening evening coat. This year faille silk is more fashionable 1 , brit the satin is worn none the less for all that. Their linings are white silk with large white flowèrs, black arid white diamond harlequin checks or enormous black and white checkerboard checkerboard patterns. All of the, coats, sport as well as evening, are cut on circular lines so that they flare out around the bottom. ^\The more elaborate ones are nea&y skirt length. Did you ever see . a hen try to srwim ? Did, you ever see one succeed succeed at it ? A hen knows better than to try it, that is the reason why you have to say no to those two questions. questions. A duck may swim all day long on water with cakes of ice floating around in it, and be none the worse for the experience ; but a hen would die in short order if thrown into such water. The duck is built for it, the hen is not. If thé Lord, or the forces of nature, nature, or whatever your x religion leads you to call the great creatiÿe genius of the earth, makes hens to live only on thefland and the ducks to live on either the land or the water, water, it is but natural to suppose that he also makes some people to be farmers and others to be doctors, lawyers, merchants arid chiefs. If the doctor tries to be a lawyer, or the farmer tries to be a merchant or doctor, he is just about as sure to prove,a failure aVit as the hen is sure to prove a failure at trying to be a duck. The business man--whether doctor, doctor, lawyer, qr farmer--will find out what he is cut out to be, and then" stick to it through thick and thin. If he docs it with concentration concentration and courageous stick-to-it-iveness stick-to-it-iveness he will win out in the end, and he. successful. If he tries the thing he is not fitted by nature to be, or loses his courage in doing the thing he is cut out to be, he will be mere or less, of a failure. If the Lord meant for you to be a farmer, do not try to be something something else. If He riiëànt you to be a lawyer or a doctor, do not try to be a farmer. Stick to your "calling," "calling," it is just as great and just as honorable as is anything else. In sticking, there is happiness arid contentment ; in flying off the handle there , is failure, regret arid lifelong sorrow. Horse Wins Recognition. Human Beings hold no monopoly when it comes to' winning medals for feats of valor in war. A Rtissian artillery horse, won a bronze medal at Plevna in the followirig manner: Orders were taken for some ammunition ammunition wagons to be hurried to a spot that.meant crossings the enemy's zone of fire. All the time shells were crashing among the horses, bringing theriî down in heaps, and frightening CAREFUL DOCTOR Prescribed Change of Food Instèâd of Drugs. It take® considerable courage for- a doctor - to deliberately prescribe Only food for a despairing patient, instead of, resorting to the usual! list of mêdiciriës. . • ; Some truly' .scientific physicians recognize and treat conditions as they are and should be treated. Here's an instance : "Four years ago I was taken with sëvére gastritis, and nothing would stay on my stomach, so that I was on the verge of starvation. "I heard) of a doctor who had a summer « cottage near me--a specialist--and, specialist--and, as a last hope, - sent :'or him.

With large _ areas suitable only for forestry purposes, it is essential that the value of trees arid thedir protection) should be thoroughly impressed upon Canadians. Canadians. In Ontario Arbour Day is celebrated celebrated to a limited extent in schools, but its observance should be general; There is need in every part of Canada for the education and instruction which Arbotir Day represents. It should be observed as a public holiday at a, time most suited to. the climatic ;«coriditidins of ttie .locality... The planting arid pro- and.thorough cleaning up of Homes and surroundings should be advocated advocated as special duties for the day. Arbour Day has ite justification in tihe . value of trees. Nqthirig éon- trihutës so much to-make the world a pleasant place to live in as tree®. The true home feeling is not satis>- fied without the presence; of the tree®, with their shelter arid shade, their beauty of form and■'leaf, their blossom and fruit, their varying shade® with the. passing of the seasons, seasons, and their fulness of colour in the autumn day®. They also afford hoiries and shelter for our feathered feathered friends, the birds, during their annual visits. Nothing adds beauty and value to a home or •schoplho.use more than the presence of trees; nothing adds more to' the comfort of pedestrians than shade trees. The way may be long and dusty, but under the. cool shade of the trees relief is found. It is to be hoped, therefore, that the celebration of Arbour Day will become more general; that the planting and care of trees and dhrubs around schodl'hquses, homes, public spaces arid by roadsides may have the effect of developing a, keener appreciation of the value and beauty of trees; and that in thus enlarging the field of Arbour Day activities, greater interest may Jbe created in trie protection of our Canadian forests from the. reckless destruction by fire arid the axe with which they are threatened:.

In any organization so large as that of the C.P.R., where under normal conditions over 100,000 employee® employee® are on the payroll, one great problem is that of keeping the employees, so to speak, dynamic, dynamic, part of a living organization and not of mere machines. Zeal arid ambition must be kept burning. burning. Just as every soldier of .Napoleon .Napoleon carried a field marshal's bâton in his knapsack, so every office boy in the Company must feel be is a possible president, not merely earn his dollar a day till pension day. One system introduced introduced on the Western lines with this in mind has proved exceedingly exceedingly efficient. Each superintendent or foreman or head of a department department makes two reports a year on his staff. Bright men are thus earmarked earmarked for special promotion. If any man is criticized^the report* is shown to him and initialled by him before it goes to Winnipeg. He gets a square deal, and if he has any life in him he mends his ways so that no such criticism can be made twice. Then again there are independent scouts, looking for the bright men, the tidy station agent, the courteous trainman, the man cool in an emergency, the inventive mechanic, the stenographer who can run the office when the chief is absent. . These scouts are searching searching for merit only, not for faults. Over the whole system of the Canadian Pacific ideas and sugges- tioris made by employees are not only welcomed, but lead to promotion. promotion. They go to the Record Office, where a statement of the employee's career is attached to the suggestion before it is considered considered by a committee. If the idea is adopted the record of the employee's career is then before the eyes of the powers that be, and recognition is sure to follow. The needle in the haystack is easy enough to find with a magnet, and there are a dozen magnets looking out for merit among the 100,000 em ployees of the C.P.R.

AN APPRECIABLE GIFT. Appeal.for. Maple Syrup and Sugar for Red Cross Society. Thé Canadian Red Cross Society has sent an urgent appeal to Mr. J. H. Grimm," yrhd is well- known in thri^ maple , syrup industry, for a donation of, syrup . and sugar for the boyfc at the front. A letter from Colonel Gomel, of the First Canadian Contingent, tells of the enthusiastic reception accorded a recent case from Canada Canada containing, among other things, a few cakes of maple sugar. sugar. He states, "the men went fairly crazy with ; delight when it was given to them." To a Canadian- away from, -home it would be difficult'to conceive of a more acceptable gift in the spring of the year than some genuine su-» gar or syrup from "the land of the Maple." v There are few farmers who could not spare at least.a gallon of syirup or ten pounds of sugar for such a worthy and-patriotic object. Those who. respond,--and it is hoped there will be many,--are asked to pack carefully and express to The Canadian Red Cross Society, 58 Wellington St., Montreal, Que.
