A despatch from Montreal says: A special to The Herald from Ot-| lawa says:--"It is reported here, from a reliable sorrce, that a visit will be made to this country by his Majesty King George. The King will visit Canada en route for India, where he will be crowned as Em- peror. His Majesty will visit all important cities in the Dominion, during his journey across the! country, and will sail for India from Vancouver.' Should this report prove to be true, the event it forecasts will make King George's reign epochal, establishing, as it would, the pre- cedent of the Sovereign of the Em- pire visiting the outlying portions of the British dominions after his accession. King George wil] tour Canada be- fore the end of this year, for he is tu arrive in Bombay on December 2, and make his State entry into Del- hi on December 7. He is to be 'crowned on December 12.

FOR SUMMER WEAR. The wide, long shoulder scarf is aven more popular for the summer than it was during the winter. It may be of a double thickness of chiffon in two shades, blending or | contrasting, or in silk, sdtin or! erepe de chine, lined or unlined, It may be finished simply with a) hem, fringe or gathered into a! tassel. Its value lies in impart- ing a finish to the yown without in the least ruffling the line of nee and shoulder. One of the strongest prevailing influences in summer fashions is the gown of striped fabric; bat a "common or garde stripe, but embodying two or more! widths, and possibly introducing a 'totally different material, in some eases a plain one. Stripes, then, joined in reverse direction or di- agonally, give a result as unex- pected and "chie" in many cases as undoubtedly it is smart. The solid Peking stripes are ex-' ceedingly fashionable m silk or sa- tin and make delightful trimmings both for light and dark gowns. In glace or taffeta these stripes are; 'very popular for the perfectly plain under-dress which is worn) 'with a tunic. The wearing of jabots is the chic of the moment. It is chic because it is not given to everybody to. exactly where and how they. should be placed to be most be- coming. Much skill is displayed in 'the donning of these jaunty acces- sories, and it is mot considered smart to wear a jabot at all unless dt.is made o: finest point lace "snd tulle. Very distingue is the prevailing |° lashion for hosiery i with the rest of the toilet, and a tharming effect is produced by hav- ing hosiery just one shade lighter than the skirt Shadow -striped hosiery is shown in lisle thread of various colorings. dy lero coat is one of the fa- . rorite shapes for the coming sum- er. Instead of the one-piece negligee veld in at the waist with a silk cord or ribbon, many women delight in ihe semi-fitting coats or tunics to wear with a lovely skirt of muslin wr silk. These coats and skirts are nade of the thinnest stuffs, many of the coats having a sheer silk lin ng white ior colors, while lhrough others flesh tints show. As 1 rule the coats reach tu the knees ind cften have dewp slashes at the ides, held tugether with ribbons or wrd, The sleeves are wide kimo 105, coming not quite to the elbow. The new chemises for women are jut like a man's shirt, slit at each | lide of the shirt sv that if may be nore narrow than that of former rears. It also wbviates the "'riding ip' of the garment under one's lress. This is a season of stripes, neces- arily black and white, but this rombination is certainly the pre- iominating one. Neckwear of lace ind embroidery is touched up with | black and white striped satin in any umber of ways. Stocks, cuffs and! bots of Irish crochet have their rdges trimmed with narrow bias 'olds of the striped material and secasionally the lace takes second place, serving me,ely as a border to articles made chiefly of the sa- Hin. There are all sorts of natty little bows made of the stripes cut om the bias mingled with the motifs harmonizing | lot Irish crochet, some of them be- balls technically known as cherries. ); Sailor collars are made of lace or| General to press the graft ) embroidered lawn and edged with | /against certain members. ,a bias fold of the black and white | pbout an inch wide, or they are made of the later: one bordered with lace or embro Ono o fthe mosv tures of the new jcurious one-s:ded eflect. aimed at) and carried out by the arrangement of the draperies or the general cut. lIn miny cases one side of the bo- dice is draped with the material, | whil e a lace net or some form o | jabot falls across the other. One | delightful evening frock, in black | satin, was made with one sleeve in! )Satin and the other in white appli- | , que lace, veiled in black tulle, while a panel of rich silver and | pearl embroidery on black chiffon (encircled the waist and f@! in a deep point en the skirt.

It must be wrong! Mother was ait- ting by the open window, feeding brother from his blue bowl, dinner was no as! late, after all, the shiaased fecling grew so big that it hurt, and Mar- jorie longed to run te 'the corner {of the big haymow and hide, but she knew that would not help any. She wanted to tell mother bow sor- she could see in them! i- "Phe " -- =o a | ol il oe jorie's rubber ball fell to the ground with a bounce, upsetting two big ants that were carrying sand to their home at the edge of the tall grass. Marjorie watched them struggle. One seemed quite dead, and the other was crawling off very slowly. She remembered the stories Uncle Ernest had told her, pe Sunday before about ants. like human beings they were in their ways. He had told her that they live in colonies, building litie hill houses, grain by grain, in sandy places, or digging out cells in the trunks of trees to live in. He told of ants called mason- ants, that choose hard, clay soil for homes, and by digging and cutting nssages, make wonderful houses of tiny corridors, pillars and arch- es. Uncle Ernest said one colony would wage war on another. Some- times a battle would last until dark, and the victorious arm would even capture hostile ants and eee them back te their colony as slave Especially had he praised them for being so industrious, telling how they worked all day and all night, gathering and storing honey, plant- ing grass-seed, from which they gathered tiny harvests, and even paving roads for themselves. It had all seemed too wonderful to be true, and as Marjorie thought of these stories, a small, shamed feeling passed over her The lame ant had hobbled off to the sand home among the grasses, and two big ants were following, q| carrying the first\ one, which was beginning to wiggle a little. Mar- jorie was glad he was not dead. She wondered, if a mother ant should ask one of * a -. to help her on a ho ethe the child ant woutd nA shoe climb to. the top of a long oor of grass and swing-and swin watch the ggads! She felt sure that the child! ant would not, and the shamed feeling grew, until . ae yube Y got all choked up. If mother would only punish her, not look so sorry! But mother looked into her littie girl's face, and seeing the lesson that in some way had been stamped there, said gently, "Mother is very tired, Marjorie. ou can finish feeding brother, and then clear away his playthings in the dining- room before the ethers come in to dinner.' With a grateful bound, Marjorie took the baby and finished giving him his milk. Very quietly she cleared away the playthings; but it was not until tne next morning, whon, bright and early, she sat under the tree and shelled the peas, so that she could be ready to take baby brother out after his nap, that mother knew how well she had learned the lesson that the ants taught.--Youth's Companion. -- ft TOGO AND NOGI CHEERED.
