Cne of the very new and success ful colors is dreadnought gray, which is rather dark, but quite clean and clear, Not a suggestion of taupe appears in this delightful color, and the blue tinge which runs through it is the blue of a military coat. Wrap! coats made of velours de laine or sor- danapale in this particular gray are! charming. They can be worn over] almost any dress, but are at their best in eomjunction with a one-piece dress madé of dreadnought gray charmeuse or velveteen. Some of the new wrap-coats are specially picturesque in outline. They are very full at the hem and many of | the models fall in soft folds over the bust and hips. The latest idea is al wrap-coat gathered at the neck and banded" in at the waist in Russian | blouse fashion. It would look love- | ly in any soft woolen material, (or might be made of diagonal se ge | with advantage. The costume seen | here the other day was made entire- | ly of velours de laine, coat and skirt | alike. But of course, such a warm | skirt would only be suitable for cold | weather, while .the coat might bel worn in May or even June. | One of the most important novel-| ties of the early spring season is the| combination of serge and taffetas or| serge and charmeuse. The loveliest | afternoon gowns are being made of! | thes¢ materials and with admirable results. The idea was launched by a famous dressmaker, and it will un- doubtedly become very popular. For example, take a visiting gown | composed of navy blue charmeuse] and navy blue serge of the finest! quality. The skirt was exaggera- tedly full at the hem and so short that it really took one's breath away! It 'was rather flat back and front, and at the sides the material fell in full folds. The skirt, which was made of charmeuse, was 'trimmed with bias béndd of serge in graduat- ed widths. There was a wide band at the hem, and two others, narrow- er, appeared higher, up. _ It was a { one-piece frock, and there was a sort an troduced on the corsage. At.the neck it was cut open in a | small square, and there was a high muslin collar which hardly showed | in_ front, but which was held in place {by a length of scarlet velvet «ibbon. { Then there was a coatee in charmeu- | se, which was gathered into a band at |the back of the waist, and finished off at the neck by a sailor collar | which fell over the shoulders. This | cdatee was fastened with large but- {tons made of-red quartz trimmed with jet. Black and white checked cloth is again fashionable. This material is combined with black mirror vel- vel and also with the new make of taffetas which has a chiffon surface and which is very firm, although supple. One check model which pleased me had a deep hem of black mirror velvet and a coatee; in which the walst-coat was black' velvet and the | Square collar white hemstitched lin- jen. There was a touch of rich pur- ple at the neck, and it was to be ac- companied thy a toque which was com | pletely covered with dark purple vio- lets. Ribbon velvet 1s | drawn through the folded brim. This would make a suitable hat for half- mourning, If it were carried out in black satin, trimmed either with white roses or gardenias. There still remains to be deserib- ed that close fitting helmet cap, Which is distinctly of military inspi- ration. It is carried out in soft suede chosen in a pale shade of gray, and on the center of the/ brim in front there is a single deep red rose. i The large black mounts at the back THE DAILY BRITISH WIIG, THURSDAY, "CARING FOR HORSES, ~~ Pains Taken to Keep Mounts In Good Condition. A very important part of the work | done at Exhibition Park is that for which the Canadian Army Veterinary Corps is responsible, says The Toron- to Star Weekly in a recent article. | This is obvious when it is mentioned that there are considerably over twelve hundred horses at Exhibition Park. There are six hundred and forty horsey. in use by the mounted ri- fles, and the number employed by the fourth brigade is about the same. These horses have been shipped from practically every part of the province. The maximum price of one of these horses is about '$175. Taken as a whole, the horses are' of fairly good stamp for the purpose for which they have been bought. But they have been purchased under. considerable difficulties. For one thing, the best horses available went with the first contingent. And; for another, the British Government have also been buying horses in Ontario, and, to a certain ungyoidable extent, in com- petition with Sir Adam Beck and his | buyers, : The officers of the Canadian Army Veterinary Corps who are at Exhibi- tion Park are Capt. Campbell, the | principal veterinary officer for the se- cond division; Lieut. W. W. Forsyth, and Lieut, A. H. Hunter. There are nine men under them, each of whom has been previously used to horses. These have been given instruetion by the officers in the use of drugs, etc. Twelve hundred horses naturally require a good deal of medical and surgical care. So far, the luck has been wery good with them. There | have not been more than four deaths among them, each of which has been attributable to pneumonia. Every! horse is vaccinated with the Strangles vaccine. There is an up-to-date phar- | macy, with every possible appliance | that can be required by sick eguine nature. The electric sterilizer is in | usé and every possible care that vet-| erinary science can suggest is observ- | able throughout the work of the | pharmacy. There are two hospital stables. of aceident. ious cases. In the former there are | at present eight accident 'cases. These cases are sometimes attribut- | able to careless or inexperienced han- | dling, but more often they are the re- | sult of the horse' itself being green. | In the hospital stable for contagious | cases there are at present some twen- Yin ty-eight or so sick horses. Influenza | is the cause of most of the horses' | presence in the isolation hospital. As everyone who knows anything of i horseflesh is aware, that form of in- | fluenza which is known as "running | influenza" is especially contagious. The hospital stables are all well whitewashed and thorough disinfect- ed. And after each case leaves. its stall, the stall is re-whitewashed and again thoroughly disenfected. Re-! cords are kept of the respiration, temperature, and pulse of every horse | that comes into hospital. The Cana- dian Army. Veterinary Corps has al- ways one officer and some man con- stantly on duty both day and night. : utmost care is taken to en- | sure t all the men employed in | the 'isolation hospital pay the most | scruptilous attention to cleanliness in every way. The equine patients are furnished with individual drink- ing-cups. The isolation hospital is heated by two stoves, and the tem- perature of it is kept at between fifty and sixty degrees. The animals vary | considerably as patients, some being much easier to . treat than others. But on the whole they make much better patients than do human beings. | It is interesting to watch the docile | and placid manner in which they will | submit to the strapping on of mustard Plaster and other curative meth- ods. { .

They Did Not Know About Father Healy's Green Peas. i Father James Healy, the Sydney Smith of the Irish metropolis, figures in many anecdotes told by Judge Bod- | kin in his 'Recoliections." . Father | Healy was poor, and used to say, good-humoredly, that he did not know how he would live at all if it were not for the "outdoor relief" he received. A fine clutch of young! ducks reached him, and, seeing them sporting in the water, he exclaimed, with a whimsical compassion, "Poor | innocents, how they enjoy them- selves, pever thinking that my green peas are growing on the other side of the garden wall!" } For one of the stories about the father, Mr. Bodkin does not vouch. One Christmas night, at a small gath- | ering at the Vice-regal Lodge, the beautiful Countess Spencer (Spen- | ser's "Faerie Queene," as she was | called in Ireland) stood defiantly un- der a cluster of silver berries and | sent a .playful challenge to Father | Healy. "Now, Padre, now is your chance Wnder the mistletoe." Like a! flash came the smiling reply, "Oh, | Ro, my lady; we only do that sub! rosa!" & On one occasion, Mr. Bedkin tells, | Lord Justice Holmes was amusingly countered by a junior barrister who | was defending a prisoner before him. Though the prisoner was a rather eld- erly man, counsel made frequent ap- peals to the jury to take into account the fact that he was an orphan. The | judge grew impatient. "I really don't see," he exclaimed, i "how the fact that your client*is an orphan bears on the case. He is old enough to take care of himself, and | it is quite matural, at his age, he should have lost his parents. For in- | stance, I myself am an orphan." "Yes, my lord," interposéd the counsel, | "and should your lordship ever have i the misfortune to come before a jury b of your fellow-countrymen, I trust | that circumstance will be taken into consideration in your lordship's favor." i Prince's Narrow Escape, | Princess Arthur of Connaught Is | being congratulated on her husband's | daring escape from the Germans, whose prisoner he was for an hour or more, | The prince and his chauffeur drove | their machine into the German lines | a fog. They were seized and | thrown into a hut. Here they dis- covered German uniforms and dis- | guised themselves, They managed | to pass the sentry placed to guard | them and enter their own autame- | bile again. On nearing the German | lines they were challenged, and to | escape ran at a speed of ninety miles | an hour. Many bullets struck the | flying ear. | Past the Germans outposts they | sped, but the French seized them, { and thinking them Germans, were on the point of shooting them as spies, when they were identified. f Mrs, Scoville, Lombardy, aged ninety-seven years, is a sister of the late Mrs. Southworth, Brockville, | who died in her 100th year.
