The same -prédiction, according to The Mentor, was made seventy- five years ago when voluminous skirts were the fashion, but in spite of the efforts.of an intrepid Ameri can lady to" persuade her country- women to follow her example in wearing garments which she des eribed "of more graceful and con- venient character," skirts not only remained but grew in size. Mrs. Bloomer was born in Homer, N.Y. in 1818. In 1849, when editor of a woman's magazine, she took up the idea, previously originated by Mrs. Elizabeth Smith Miller, of a re- form in women's dress. It was an at- tempt to substitute a dress of sen- sible character for the cumbrous one then worn. In the pleas which she made for the proposed change she defended her creation from the charge that it was immodest and in- elegant. She asks in "The Lily"; "It delicacy - requires that the skirt shoul Daughters of the Empire at the an- nual meeting in 1927, Winnipeg be- ing chosen as the place of meeting. That the dressmakers and shops are busy providing frocks for the de- butantes and girls and handsome | gowns for the matrons who will at- tend the June ball at the Royal Mili- tary College on June 21st. The de- scriptions of the gowns to be worn are coming in rapidly to the editor of the Woman's Page, and we hope by the end of the week to have a long list. That a London critic recently re- a marked no woman under forty should be admitted to a theatre, whereat a journalist there facetious- ly asks "Are there any women of forty to-day?" There are, according to Miss Ethel Robson, who is lecturing to the Wo- men's Institutes of Frontenac, many women over forty in Canada. She is telling them to cheer up, not to get too fat and not to think life is over. After all it is doubtful if any of them feel badly about it. When one is fif- teen one thinks twenty-five the turn- ing point towards old maidhood, and when one is twenty-five, forty seems old age. But when forty comes gen- erally life is too full to think at all, and men and women just go on liv- ing. A lady with grandchildren who occupy her days says she has found the years after forty the happiest in her lite. That Mrs. Frederick Etherington, president of the Kingston Council of Women, who is at present at the meeting of the National Council An Vancouver, B.C, will return to King- ston this month and will then go to "Pettercairn," her summer home on the Rideau Lakes, where, in the first week of July she will entertain the members of the Women's Institutes of Frontenac. x . That the citizens are glad to see the open cars again even if the Weather is not all we would hope for in June.

It all depends on how the scarf is tied this year. The same old scarf 'of yesteryears which 'flew airily 'neath the coat, may become a mod- ish thing of besuty If tied into a stock effect, & four-in-hand; or a soft and jaunty bow at the side.
