Missouri. Its chief distinction lies in the fact that there once lived Mark Twain. the great humorist. in one of its plain two-storey houses. crowded close to the sidewalk. From the time he was four until he was twenty-four. he grew up in this humble home. It is today open to the public. Many pic- tures of him line the walls. His fam- ous corn-cob pipe and flannel coat are there. and one of his favorite chairs. and the desk. The coat and the chair belong to a later and more prosperous time. The queer little typewriter on which he did most of his writing has a place of honor. How little the citi- zens of that town knew that in their midst was living one of the great per- sonages of his time. The place is taken care of by a kindly but wholly illiterate woman. who when showing me the pictures of the cabin in which he was born. the Han- nibal house. and then the palatial res- idence in the eastern states where he died. said: “It shows how he ‘clum‘ up." While Mark Twain did not begin to write for some years after he left Hannibal. the characters in his two best known books. Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. were drawn from real life in his native town. A statue of Tom and Huckleberry has been erected at the foot of Cardiff Hill. They stand together on a high base. Huckleberry. the town drunkard’s son. dressed in tattered clothes too large for him a torn brimmed hat. and one suspender. Tom wears a cap and clothes a shade better. He has a bundle slung over his back in true tramp fashion. and has the distinction of having two suspenders. Both are in their bare feet and their faces alive with the promise of adventure.

It was a fas- cinating picture to see the Chief in his buck-skin vest and trousers. lavishly embroidered. bending over the fire. ab- sorbed in his work. Behind him lay a quiet lake with woods fringing the other side. and this against the sky made brilliant by the setting sun. Haying has been delayed by much rain. and now in the heat the farm- ers are stook-threshing. cutting grain and hay all at one time. The land in the part of Missouri we visited is not comparable to the land in Illinois. The corn looks wonderful. It is a piece of rare good luck that I should have the privilege of talking Canada. and the value of our trade. to the Republic in the four farm states of ‘ Illinois. Missouri. Nebraska and Iowa. just now. In the big tents on the campus of the colleges. or on the high-school grounds. good crowds gather. They are friendly questioning crowds.‘ These same tents in the past have heard the deep tones of Chief Justice Taft. and the silver tongue of William Jennings Bryan. I feel all unworthy. This year Ruth Bryan Owen is on another part of the circuit. but I fear I shall not have the oppor- tunity of meeting her. I find the sentiment of the people who attend the Chautaqua meetings strongly in support of the dry law. and they would appreciate help from Dan- ada in this; matter.

MACPHAIL THE DURHAM CHRONICLE This tennis costume of white duck trousers brings an infigorating breath of the sea to the hot. sunny court. The trousers are made very full and “gob- like" and are worn with a red striped handkerchief linen blouse. A wide red belt and beret of the same color adds another splash of color. Fashion F ancies Sports costumes are “going nautical”. Whether or not you expect to see the water this summer your wardrobe simply must include a jacket ensemble decorated in nautical emblems and cut on lines in the same spirit. Sports Costumes “Go Nautical" Of that luscious new dark green satin crepe that promises to be a pop- ular Fall shade. the model follows the newest style trends. It uses Paris‘ favorite diagonal treatment for the long bodice. What is in front a severe- ly plain dress becomes a charming tucked and surpliced back. Further grace is achieved by the tucks falling loosely into circular folds at the hem. A Gown for Every Festive Occasion What could be a happier solution to the week-end wardrobe problem than the dress shown here? It deftly ans- wers the problem of packing a bag with a gown for every festive occasion. This gown would be appropriate for any function your hostess might plan in your honorâ€"a tea. dinner or even- ing affair.

How could you grab bot-h?" “True.“ said the blg-gnme man. “I've got only one arm. but in an emergency I forget all about a little thing like that." PAGE 3.
