One of the most popular manifes- tations of the tunic skirt is that which discloses a portion of the -under skirt, at one side, the open- ing thus formed being held to the proper straight lines by a lacing, attached with tiny buttons. These »apron tunics and the short cuirass tunics are shaped with a half bib bodice, which expands into the chemisette and collar band. On ithe short elbow sleeves there is fre- quently a broad band or turn back -end to match the short tunic. The tunic has many admirable qualities, not the least being the apportunity it gives for the introduction of soft veilings. "'Cross-wise" veiling is very charming in these tunic develop- ments, offering great opportunity for handsome color arrangements. Popular shades used in this man- ner are bright blue, dark begonia or fuchsia red over dark ton gray taupe satin or even black satin. The -effects obtained are practically un- limited, and thus the veiling tunics _provide the most fascinating notes "in the season's modes. Black mar- 'quisette or voile de soie, veiling by row border of black satin or black velvet at the bottom of the skirt, beneath the scalloped lingerie edge. This is a most practical finish. Springtime has brought out a col- lection of amusing little hats in a variety of shapes. They are mostly copied from models of the directoire period. Narrow-brimmed hats have | 2 the advantage of being practical. They can easily be worn over any coiffure, as they come far down over the head and are very sparingly trimmed. The crown is generally very high. It is advisable not exaggerate this height. The trim- ming used on this style of hat is also very high. Kibbon, striped in two shades, is used a great deal. It is made up into loops, placed at the back or on the side, for trim- ming is never put ig front this year. One the most fashionable "shapes at present is a little hat 'with a round crown and narrow sift brim turned up all round. Small hats recalling the caps of the Brit- tany peasants are often mode in two shades of straw; the crown in the lighter, the brim insthe darker another development, and« this comes in various weights of straw. A hat of panama in this: simple, 'mannish style may be worn suitably with the tailored suit or the morn- ing frock, and is light and cool for summer. In the new hat» the crown has been enlarged to meet the demands of the larger coiffures, and this type of millinery, like most of the spring styles, sets well down on the head. a LOCOMOTIVE WORKS SOLD. The Big Plant at Kingston Changes Hands, A despatch from Kingston. Ont., says: The Canadian Locomotive Company, Ltd., of Kingston, has sold out to an English sy ndicate, composed chiefly, it is understuod, of Lord Glenconuer Darlborough Pryor, J. Leigh Wood, and F. R. 8S. Balfour, who recently visited Kingston 'o inspect the local works.

At present the -- stock of the company is $500 oil will be increased full alight cs) Cc. --_--_ + N. R. INCREASE IN PAY. red ,Carmen Accept "New Schedule Af- fecting About 600 Men. A despatch from Winnipeg says: The carmen of the Canadian North- ern Railway, at a meeting on Thursday night, accepted the new schedule affecting their member- ship from Port Arthur to Edmon- ton and on all the branches, in all over 600 men. By it there is an increase in pay of two cents per hour. The new schedule is from his is retroactive to May, 1911. On May 1, 1912, an- other increase of one cent per hour will! be given. Improved working conditions have been established since May 1 Se HANGING AT MONTREAL. Creola Collapsed and Tad to be Carried to Scaffold. A. despatch from Montreal says: Francesco Creola, twenty years old, paid the penalty at & o'clock on Friday morning at the Montreal jail for the murder of Giuseppe Chine. He was the first Italian to be hanged in this Province. Creola, or Giuseppe Crenora, his real name, as the hour of death ap- shade. In blue and black, black and white, they are very pretty and | are simply trimmed with two but- terfly wings set at the back, or two | fancy pins thrust through the side | of the slightly turned-up brim. High-pointed crowned Pierrot shapes are also popular. These are trimmed with high wings, resting flat against the side of the crown, the two points joining at the top. Buff, green, red or white wings are charming against blue straws. Very curious results have "been obtained in foulards by certain of the well-known dressmakers, the fa- ' yorite dotted patterns being com ed in o p retty, often grotesque, but all evi- encing considerable ingenuity. voile is another material "which challenges the originality of the designer. A model which was , £00 "complicated to be pretty was in a bordered voille, having a black in _large white volved drapery effect over the lat~ ter, combining 'a short apron tunic . with pannier s'de draperies, arrane- _ ed so that the orange and black portions were displayed below oan "apron at the front o = sare in a long oval mage Neieg ~ din = 'draperies, at the sides.

There are certain individuals who they are the slaves of their moods, especially of their dark ones. They will tell you, witha goer that touches complacency, that they are subject to "black fits,"' "ithe blues,"' or. "days of melancholia," or whatever may be the pet phrase for their deplorable lapses from the | j normal. Such people never seem to realize that these moods are only another outward and visible sign of an inward disgrace, and that un- healthy minds are rarely found in healthy vodies. It is hard saying, but "the blues"' may genera!ly be traced to one oF beth of two horrid qualities--greed and laziness. Nine times out of ten the low-spirited person is suffering from auto-intoxication -- from too 'much food taken into the body and too little attention paid to elimina- tion, or to proper exercise. The human mechanism can take care of only a certain amount of food. After that point'has been passed it seems to turn sullen in its effort to ignore what it cannot help: and although it is a wonderfully conducted chemical laboratory up to the limit of its own needs, it is not at all amiable about working overtime, The result is that all superfluous products sent to it are permitted to lie round and become poisonous. This poison is prompt- ly taken up by the blood and car- ried to all parts of the body, in- adie the brain. The brain, which needs a plentiful supply of clean blood to enable it to do its thinking, is naturally indignant at finding poor and impure blood sup- the 'artistic temperament"' is "Byronic"' or '"'poetical," that u mind capable of oon ig its owner so uncomfortable must be a even the king upon his throne miserable. If you are the victim of recurring fits 'of depression, rest assured that you are sacrificing the greater to the lesser, and the reas- on for your trouble is to be traced to some mismanagement of the daily regime. It is possible thas you must conquer your pet weak- ness--and for some of us even a pound of candy can harbor -a thousand "blue devils."--Youths' ompanion. WOMEN GET MEDALS. §/One Saved Father From Angry Bull, Other Resened Maniac. A despatch from London says: The King has conferred the Albert medal of the second class on Amy Madeline Jacques, who seized a mad bull by the horns and saved the lives of her father and brother, who had been gored by the animal. Hilda Elizabeth Wolsey, a nurse, who climbed along a narrow gutter far 'above the ground and rescued an insane patient on the roof of Hanwell Asylum, has received @ like reward from the King. 8 IMMIGRANT FELL DEAD.
