A man likes very long sekirts;, he likes the wellâ€"fitted hips that mak» a womin look tailer and more wilâ€" lowy ; he likes the gown that makes her slender, and he likes the tiny flounces which soften the angles and make the waist becoming. «x * The petite woman well dreswsed is the min‘s delight, and if she will forâ€" get the severity in which she loves to clothe berselif, and if she will put on the chiffon, the laces, the flounces and the long, sweeping dress skirt his mubjugation will be complete. _ _ _ There never lived a man who did not sdmire a point Gesprit ekirt made over tafleta.

This is a dress thait is chosen by the hostess or by hor guosts. One can dress as in the Du Barry days, the filteenth cenâ€" tury. or as Josephine dressed at the dawr of the lagt. One can choose the rather peculiar eariy Victorian era or go back to the colonial. part very far from the conventionâ€" al in copyinmg thom. Thae Josephine and all the empire gowns are in vogue, and one can truly wear an ecxact reproduction of the gowns wihich Napolcon admired â€" without ‘ceming as though one were in fanâ€" cy dross. But if the actual picture dress, the foncy dress is desired, there is no objection to the shirred skirt and the pointed bodice and none to the high raff.

Most of the gowns are low, but those that are not low are cut without the collar.

Blessed is the woman with a nice, long neck and a round, shining throat.

Why, once upon a time there was a gown. No, let the story be told this way : ‘This year, in a certain city, there lived a woman with an old taffeta skirt and an old taffeta shirt waist. Neither was absolutely riddled with holes, but both were badly cracked. New Year‘s day was coming and she had nothing to wear. Flora Mcâ€" Flimsey was never in a worse plight and by the day‘s mail their arrived a letter from a longâ€"invited girl friend stating thiat she was coming to spend the New Year week. Using Cheap Lace Well. Going out quickly to the bargain counter this woman procured enough black lace to make a nice, deep band around the neck of her gown, which she cut decollete. She lined the lace with panse the color of burnt orange. Then she put two strips down the front of the waist, right to the belt, and made a twist of burnt orauge tor the belt. Between the two front strips she set a little knife plaiting of white silvered chiffon plaited at tome and sot at all dear. 0_ _ Around the foot of the skirt, just near the &nees, she set a band of the lace and lined it with vurnt orange, and from this lace she let fall a biack lace flounce which was onee part of a lace skirt. ‘The band was broucht down to a point in the iront toim‘tate the beautiful new court gowns of the Queen of Spain. This done and she had a lovely gown, suitable for any hostess. 3 ARRANGING If the face is wide, make the coi[â€" fure high and broad.

Breadth should be given to the top of the head, if possible, by the arrangement of the tresses, and large flowers may be worn,.

Maxine Elliot affects this style, so does Lady Curzon. Ornaments may be arranged in diaâ€" dem effect over the brow. _ If the nose is pron=uncedly long, never wear the bair in a mass at the back.

This only makes the triangular effect more marked. An oval effect can be given by arranging the hair high over the face.

In July last a field triai of bindâ€" ers, mowers and reapers was held at Ischigri, Russia, the conduct of which was remarkable for its thorâ€" oughness. The details of the inspecâ€" tion and judging were so minute that we publish a few extracts from the officiar report for the benefit of our farming readers. The firms invited to compete were Masseyâ€"Harris, Deering, _ Osborne, Plano, Adriance Platt, Walter A. Wood, McCormick, Milwaukee and Johnston. ne Plano, Adriance Platt and McCorâ€" mick did not answer the invitation; the Milwaukee gdeclined to take part because they deemed one month‘s notice insufficient; Walter A. Wood sent machines, but did. not particiâ€" pate. The jury c®@mprised the President of the Agricuitural Society, who is also sz member of the Provincial Council; a delegate from the Minâ€" istry of Agriculture, two members of the Provincial Council, three esâ€" tate owners, seven district agricu}â€" tural inspectors, and two agriculâ€" turists. We refrain from giving the names, because they are Russian and very hard to spell. jA i uie e ‘The ground was lumpy, and a hill side test was chosen. The crop was very long rye, heavily mixed with weeds and partly laid. In the binder trial, the machines worked for about 4% hours. The working of each machine was watchâ€" ed by four judges. $ "The Masseyâ€"Harris Binder did well in cutting the laid grain, but the â€"â€" Binder, which had less laid grain to cope with, failed to take it twice running over the rye." The result of the binder and other tests was that Masseyâ€"Harris Co. were given the highest award in each case. Clear the Road. ‘An â€" Englisa â€" gontlemau, _ driving torough a villagso in itho north of Scotland one day almost came _ to grieof over a heap of dry wood and docayed _ branches â€" which a . poor looking old man was accumulating on the roadway. The stranger cried in no vory civil terms to the old man to clear the road and let his horse pass, of which not the slightest noâ€" tico was â€" taken. "You old _ dog*" shouted the gentieman, whose patiâ€" ence was now exhausted. _ "IL will have you brought up before the Proâ€" vost, and put into prison for disreâ€" garding the laws ol the road." "Ye‘ll bring me afore the Provost, will ye! Muckle guid that‘ll dae ye," _ reâ€" plicd the woodcutter with the greatâ€" ost unconcern. "Mon, I‘m tne Provost mysetr‘."

Truth establighed. Here, as everyâ€" where, two great fundamental truths from the burden of apostoâ€" lie preaching; the death and the resurrection ol Jesus Christ. On these two hangs the whole gospel dispensation. Both are equally esâ€" sential, the former providing, the latter attesting and making effiâ€" clent the redemption tnuus providâ€" ed. "He died for our sins, and rose again for our justification." These truths form at once the basis of hope and the grourd of opposition. Truth rejected and opposed. From the one to the other is but a short step and is quickly and easily takâ€" en. Moral truth is the invisible but emphatic and arbitrary line which divides the race. Moral relationâ€" ships are positively defined, and can neither be neutral nor double. They are also _ selfâ€"determined. Jesuse said,. "He that is not for me is against me, and be that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad." miraculous ‘displays of divine powâ€" Truth welcomed and received. We may infer that the message delivâ€" ered by Paul and his companions at Berea was the same as that giver to the Thessalonians. The attitude assumed toward it, however, is in striking â€" contrast. Openâ€"mindedâ€" ness is the first great essential to a clear grasp and saving knowledge of the truth. This the Bereans posâ€" sessed. They "received the word with ail readiness of mind." /A mamanammrananmamraae N o n c §§w The Markets. on anpramnmanima n ie en PP wl mm m y y t s e Toronto Live Stock Market, Export catile,. choice, ner cwt. $5 00 to $5 46 do mediam .................. 440 to 4@ 00 AGOWK .:siaxrsssssavseese HOP to 496 Butchers‘ export ............... 4 50 so ’“ Butchers‘ cattle, picked....... 440 to 4 70 Butchers‘ catile, choice........ 3 50 to 1 50 Butchers cartie, fair........... 3 2% to 3 80 SlLockers ch@ice.......
