For the extremely simple models chiffon cloth in white, biege, flesh color and yellow is pleasing, for nee of the material serves & back- ground for the clever linés of the waist. Today's lesson deals with the cut- ting of separate waist fllustrated. It is made without a lining, the back extending over the shoulders on the fronts, forming a yoke effect. The fronts are rolled to form revers and gathered at the shoulders. A large square collar with deep points in front finishes the open neck and sim- ply one immense button shows in the adjustment. In medium size the waist requires 2% yards 36-inch ma- terial. Two open widths of materfal are required to cut the front and collar, and there will be sufficient chiffon cloth remaining for the cuffs, of which there are two styles. - The right sides of the cloth are laid fac Ing each other so that when the pieces are cut in dupligate, both will not be for the same side. 'In plac ing each section on the material see that the single line of large "0" perforations rests on a lengthwise thread. To place the back into pesition it will be necessary to fold the femain- ing in half. Lay the back on the lengthwise fold. To the right of it place the sleeve, with the line of sin- oe large "O" Rtforations resting on a lengthwise thread. The facing can be accommodated abovh the back and the large "0" perforations must be placed on a lengthwise thread of the chiffon. The lower back and front may be cut off along small "0" perfora rations indie ing a different outline, referred.

Battersea, June 19.--Robert J. Boal, who recently passed away, was born in Newton Ards, County Down, Ire- landy in the year 1859. He came out to this country in 1875 and took up farming on the homestead about one and a half miles west of the village, which he continued to occupy up to the time of his death. Early in life he nrarried Miss Eliza- beth Morrow, daughter of the late Alexander Morrow, who survives him, The union was blessed with the fol- lowing children: Hugh S. on the homestead; William, attending Syden- ham High School; James, at Keeler- ville; Mrs. Pipe, of Kingston; Mrs. John Hanley, of Millburn, and Mrs. George Kirkpatrick, of Battersea, whose demise took place seven years ago. : The deceased by industry and fru- gality built up a good home for him- self and family, enlarging it some years ago by the addition of an ad- joining farm. He was always ready and willing to lend a helping hand to assist a neigh- bor in any kind of trouble, especially in caring for the sick, either in the homes or among the stock. Naturally of a kind and generous disposition, the poor had in him a true friend who often assisted them in a practical way. In religion he was a Presbyterian, and the funeral service was conduct- ed by the Rev. Mr. Caswell, of Sun- bury. The remains were borne to the cemetery at the head of a very large cortege, by James Reid & Co., Un- dertakers, of Kingston. Interment of the body took place on Saturday. WILL PROBATED. Alex.

On Tuesday, June 19th, Miss Irene Class, 'daughter of James Class, Drummond, was united in marriage to Thomas Lovey, son of Richard Lovey, Bathurst, by the Rev. Father Carey, at Ferguson's Falls.

With-| in a few minutes he had the house lights and the store lights again in commission. Power could not be supplied to the street railway however, and its cars remain at the places where they stopped on Tuesday night. Speaking to the Whig on Wednes- day morning, Mr. Folger expressed his appreciation of the work of the firdmen, stating that for a time mat- ters looked very serious as it was feared that the turbine might be put out of commission thus taking off a of power. He also remarked that he hoped everything would be fixed up by Thursday, although there is much work to be done. source The Newspapers Affected. The Whig was sorely hit by the storm. All the direct current motors were put out of commission with the result that only a few of the linotype machines, which set up the matter for the paper, could be used. The press, which is operated by alternating cur- was able to perform its usual functions. The indulgence of sub- scribers is sought for the scantiness of local and telegraphic news in to- day's issue as it was impossible with the equipment to get nearly all the matter set up hefore press time.

GOVERNMENT MAY OPERATE PAPER PLANTS. Senator Owen Puts in Joint Resolution to Regulate Dis- tribution of Proluct. Washington, "June 20. -- Senator Owen introduced a joint resolution providing for registration by the gov- ernment of the manufacture, sale and distribution of print paper. It would authorize the President to appoint an agency under the jurisdiction of the Department, of Commerce to take over and operate during war all print paper mills in the United States and to secure the co-operation of the Can- adian government in the creation of a similar movement. The bill was in troduced as a result of the report of the Trade Commission investigation made because of excessive prices charged by the paper manufacturers. MEN THAT IRRITATE Feeling Against Certain Members of Conservative Party. Toronto Star. Great National policies ape be- clouded by side issues until the great- er issue is lost in the Jess. The bit- ter and unfair attacks upon Sir Wil- frid Laurfer indulged in by Mr. Sevigny and Mr. Edwards (From tenac) have done more to solidify the Liberal party behind its Sir Wil- frid than anything else that could have happened. Abuse of a leader is a great discourager of indepen- dence. Somebody ought to "muzzle this Sevigny person. In fact, if Sir Bob- ert Borden really wants co-operation he should get rid of Rogers and Sevigny at once. © He might also tie up the Frontenac man, who seizes weiy opportunity to make undigni- and unjust attacks upon the Liberal leader. 'In justice to the rank and file of the party, it is to be sald that many wish heartily that Rogers and Sevig-|- ny were at the bottom of the sea There is, in fact, among these mem- bers quite as much willingness to sn-gperate with Liberals for the country's good as there is on the Libera! side to reciprocate. But men like Edwards of Frontenac are "keeping," the home fires burning." and these fires of partisanship are exactly what threaten to destroy the feonscription bill when it comes up for its second reading next week. oo com- | Balfour refused fn the] the General Conference |} SERGT.
