W""!OR those who wish to observe a iH period of mourning and are con- « fronted by objections to all-black apparel, or find it not practical |for daily wear there is now the aliternative of all-white or white and [black in combination. In the smartest shops and at the leading costumers one may order mourning in either black or white. Crepe, which is the recognized insignia of mourning, has been used with wonderful effectiveness, especially in millinery. Black crape hats and veils, for first mourning, have been duplicated exactly in white crape. This is an exquisite fabric and since the designers began using it they have achieved some new and wonderfully beautiful effects not possible in other materials. It is not merely a whim of fashion that has brought about the adoption of the new “white mourning.” It is a change of sentiment with regard to the meaning of mourning apparel. One need not think very long to’conclude that white mourning is meeting a demand for something more than merely “the trappings and the suits of woe.” It is less oppressive than black; in fact it is not at ail somber. Those who are in mourning will not be obliged in the future to confine themselves to black or to white or even to combinations of these; for mourning fabrics are woven in gray and In certain lavender shades. But crape is most effective in black or •white. Tailored suits of white serge made up with exquisite neatness and faultlessly cut are favorites for mourning. Worn with either black or white hats and veils they cannot be excelled for elegance. A fad of the hour is to

[REDUCING THE DOUBLE CHIN

Simple Methoday Persevered In, Will Speedily Do Away With Objectionable Feature. One of the moat objectionable feature# is the double chin. This can be remedied in one month by the following exercise: First soap the under part of the chin with pure soap, and plenty of it Then thiww the head back till the face looks, up to the Celling. Then press firmly the under chin with. the thumbs while *t the same time make the lower chin move back and forth against the thumbs. It will 'take pome practice, but you will soon find the way-to cause thg movement of the fat part of the chin. This will strengthen all the muscles atd at the same time it will eliminate* the fatty Cells. The soap aids in this by cutting the fat from the skin. Thu exercise can be endored and even enjoyed if you have & graphophone and take the exercise by the music. I set my graphophona out in the rear garden and take my physical culture out in the open air. Resides the exercises I had in the college classes I have discovered many new ones. Wherever there is excess fat just keep, on till you find a motion that will cause a movement of that fat, then work. —Health.

Red-Heeled Slippers.

It was only natural that the Incoming of effective little frocks should have brought with them the high-heel-ed slippers of the Louis XVI. period,' with their Immense buckles in front and their slashes of red behind. There Is a new kind of heel, too, which is used on these black slippers, and it makes the foot look about three Inches shorter than it is. One would say that it was impossible to walk in them if one had not witnessed the ability of women to get along in yard-wide skirts and Spanish heels that put them on stilts. We have learned during the last three years that there are few limitations to what women can do in the name of fashion; if ever these Louis heels are adopted by the majority of American shoemakers, women will wear them, and nqt only turkey trot in them, which is all very well, but they will go shopping In them, which Is all very wrong.

To Clean White Kid Shoes.

For cleaning white kid shoes, get a clean white cloth, soak it In gasoline, then dip the cloth in powdered propared chalk. Rub until all dirt Is removed, then allow shoes to dry in the air, but not in the sun. Always use the chalk and gasoline together, as gasoline alone will In time cause the kid to turn yellow. Do |hto tn a cool place away from heat or artificial light and not In the hot sun.

NEW “WHITE MOURNING”

wear black low shoes with white hose or high white shoes with their tailored gowns. Fdr white mourning veils all made of chiffon or. Brussels net or other veiling materials bordered with crape. These bordered veils are often draped on the hats in such a way as to provide their only trimming. They are nearly always thrown back off the face or draped to hang from the back of the shape which is almost Invariably made entirely of crape. One of the new, elongated shapes, with medium wide rolling brim, is shown here covered and trimmed with white crape. The veil of chiffon, bordered with crape, is arranged to be worn either over or off the face. There are almost no trimmings on the most elegant mourning hats except those that are made of crape. Roses and lilies are favorites and are wonderfully beautiful. A new shape, suggesting a poke bonnet is pictured here, made of black crape except for the facing, which is pure white in a rich soft quality of the material. This white facing redeems the hat from somberness and makes it a brilliant piece oF millinery. Besides, white next the face is most becoming to every woman. The coarse-meshed silk nets, bordered with bands of crape three inches wide, are having a strong vogue and are in thp majority among fashionable veils. Nevertheless' they are less becoming than chiffon. But veils are so seldom worn over the face that this item may be ignored. Nets are very strong and durable.

ATTRACTIVE STREET GOWN

Model of cream-colored brocaded satin with tunic of lace and silk trimmed with crimine and black tulle.

Back to Japan.

Chinese fashions, especially the mandarin lines, proved unbecoming, in that they departed from the figure’s general beauty of lines. But designers have stayed in the orient, merely moving across the strip of water and centering their thoughts on Japan. The clinging draperies, the wide belt; with its butterfly bows and its draped and hanging panels, and the kimono line for bodices and wraps are to be used this fall. Wonderful colorings and embroideries that hint of the east will be the safe choice for the woman who would buy now for a coming successful season in dress.

To Dye Faded Slippers.

Old satin slippers may be successfully dyed. Light shades take the new color best Blues and greens take splendidly on an old foundation of pink, yellow, light blue or lavender.

Panhandling De Luxe Newest Blow to Tradition

PITTSBURGH, PA.—"Panhandling de Luxe” is the title of a brochure a certain ambitious young reporter is seriously considering publishing. At the same time, the student of sociology or the uplift-of-humanity Enthusiast might have received a terrible wallop to some of his cherished illusions had he been strolling downtown last night Here’s the way it happened: The reporter felt a discreet touch on the shoulder as he dashed madly into > downtown hotel at the entrance with the wicker door, under which people’s feet can be seen. "Say, bo, me and me pard just got in on a freight from Cleveland. We ain’t had a bite tu eat and we’re waitin’ till the railroad yards open up tu get us a job.” "What the —say, where’d you collect that make-up?” demanded the astonished molder of public opinion. “You’re no bum; you just stepped out of that taxi and haven’t wakened up from the night before at the club yet" “Now, say, bo,” defended the youth. “Yu see, we ain’t no dirty bums.

Gary’s “Clean Face” Prize Winner Backslides

CHICAGO.— The flaming red necktie which used to cast a crimson reflection on the much scrubbed chin of Andy Hatrack, the Gary schoolboy who won the cleanliness championship of his town, no longer casts a roseate glow on the Hatrack chin. One reason for this Is that, as a Chicago judge recently remarked apropos of dirty faces on growing boys, "dirt casts no reflection.” Another reason Is that the necktie Is no longer red. Yes, freedom has marked an awful change In or rather on Andy and unless he falls Into the lake of a washtub before Miss Laura Knaggs, his

Jasper Buys Half of a Skyscraper for $39

CINCINNATI, O. —Jasper Johnson of Slate Creek, Tenn., brought a load of peaches to town the other day.. The Saturday afternoon trade netted him just ssl for the fruit He bought his wife a new calico gown and the kids some shoes and decided to spend Sunday in the city. He knows better now. With the air of a man who is determined to see all that is to be seen and to understand It well, be stood on the opposite side of the street and gazed at the 34-story skyscraper of an insurance company. While Jasper was thinking how it stood all over the court house down home, a neatly dressed stranger slipped up quietly beside him and began to laud the new building. "Gee," he ruminated, “it’s tough to own half of that swell building and have to sell it tor a song just because I have to go to Philadelphia and will have to hike it if I don’t get some money somewhere." It was a downhearted tale of a boated financier that Jasper heard.

Q. Did he hit your cousin? A. No. George saw him draw back, and when the blow came he dodged. It got Mr. Visky there on the eye with the mourning band around it Mr. Jacosvisky (in a whisper to court attendant) —Don’t let her call me Visky. Don’t let addition of insult be added to injury. Court Attendant—Silence and shut up. * Her Lawyer—Proceed with your story. Mrs. Waskum—You see, Albert didn’t know George and George didn’t know Albert. He hadn’t seen us get on together, and, not knowing Albert was my husband, George struck back at him. Q. Did he hit him? A No. Mr. Visky, having been hit once, naturally got up. He stood up in time to get George’s blow there on the other eye with the mourning band around it. Mr. Jacosvisky—lndeed I did. I couldn’t get out nohow. Court Attendant-Shut up and silence. * Mrs. Waskum—There was quite a fight. Reminded me of a suffrage election in Kansas. Women stood up and screamed, and I tried to separate George and Albert, so I could properly introduce them. The Magistrate—Call the complalnant. Mr. Jacosvisky—l’m the complainant Look at my eyes. I had ’em arrested while they was getting introduced. I was the innocent bysltter. I get all tiie blows. Mr. Waskum —We apologized to him after it was all over. The . Magistrate—Case dismissed; next

So he leads us to the washroom, we strips down to the belt and goes through the motions just like them guys that’s playin’ four bucks a day for a brass bed and a hunting scene on the wall.

teacher, returns from her vacation, she will not recognize the pupil who won a red necktie and world-wide fame in the clean face contest tn the Gary schools. Since school let dut Andy has gone from bad to worse. With the departure of Miss Knaggs he erased the word soap from his vocabulary and he remembers water only in connection with thirst. And the necktie! Alas. aH the brightness went out of its life with the departure of Miss Knaggs. It first became spotted, then striped, then a plaid and finally the whole design was lost under a layer of dark brown which now has turned black. When asked what he was going to do when his teacher got back, Andy grinned through the grime and displayed a nickel proudly stored away In the only pocket without holes in his clothes. “I’m savin* that ’til the day before school .starts,” he said. "Then I*m goin* ter buy a cake o' soap.’*

The Slate Creek peach grower did a rapid-fire calculation and then timorously offered to take the stranger’s share of the building off his hands tor $39 —the total of his roll. The stranger hesitated to take advantage of his new-found friend, not that the building was not worth a thousand times as much, he said, but he didn’t like to impose on good nature. Jasper told him not to worry about that end of the bargain. Then the neatly dressed one reluctantly made put a “deed’’ for one-halt ot the skyscraper, handed It to Jasper, took the money and made hlmeell scarce.

B IG COME OF BRITISH COLUMBIA

OF recent years the necessity of preserving the scattered remnants of the great game , herds which once roamed the untrodden ways has become more and more apparent. Public opinion, led by a few enthusiasts, has been aroused; game preserves have been organized and, in the majority of countries, the depredation and senseless slaughterings of educated and uneducated butchers have been stopped. Nowhere has the need for such reform been greater than in North America. With the bison practically exterminated and the existence of the wapiti (why will American naturalists persist in miscalling these fine deer "elk?”), the mountain sheep and the pronghorn antelope seriously threatened, it was none too soon. In British Columbia the matter has been taken in hand, and It is with this great province that I propose to deal, writes Frank Wallace in Country Life. There are two men whom future generations will have to thank for the preservation of the large game of the province. One Is Mr. A Bryan Williama, the provincial game warden, and the other Mr. A. J. Bouser, attor-ney-general for British Columbia. By dint of unremitting exertions they have procured the establishment of two efficient game reserves and a large annual expenditure for their presentation. I think I am right in eaying that when I was hunting in British Columbia in 1906 the government spent literally nothing on the preservation of their game beyond the warden's salary and those of the rangers. Last year $75,000 were expended, a fine testimony to the energy of these two gentlemen.

Privileges Modified. The area of the province is roughly 700 miles long by 400 miles wide. Section 12 of the game protection act, 1898, of British Columbia reads as follows: ‘‘The provisions of this act shall not apply to Indians or resident farmers 5 in unorganized districts of this province, with regard to their own or their families’ immediate use, for food only, and not for the purpose of sale or traffic.” The privileges of prospectors and Indians have now. been modified and are only granted where absolutely necessary; that Is, deer may be killed when food is actually needed and only in unorganized districts. Lilloet is unorganized, but the Indians here give very little trouble, and the Chllkotens, who were a source of anxiety at one time, hardly come into this country at all, except jn the berry season. Indians are now limited to deer, and are not allowed to kill moose, sheep or goats. • Under the game laws of the province open or close seasons may be declared at any time for any speeles of game in any district. Wapiti are absolutely prohibited everywhere at present, as are moose in the Fernie and Cranbrook districts and sheep in the Okanagan, Tale and Simllkameen. Game is not allowed to be kept In cold storage, and It Is illegal—a vital point —“to buy or sell or offer to buy or sell the heads of mountain sheep, elk,

moose, or caribou, or the teeth of wapiti or elk." This latter provision is aimed at such organizations as the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, which, across the border, to the lasting shame of all true American sportsmen, has done more than anything else during recent years to hasten the extermination of one of the noblest of the cervidae. The Yalakone reserve now covers an area of ground about 25 miles by 15 miles at its widest part, and is In form a rough triangle. It Includes the north fork of Bridge river, and embraces all the beaver colonies In that district. The deer (mule deer, Mazama [Dorqelaphus] nemlonus) are very tame in this reserve, and Mr. Williams tells me he saw five good stags together there a short time ago. They know the limits of the reserve quite well, and never cross the river when "jumped” near the trail, which runs parallel about 200 yards off, but trot ahead and swing back into the' reserve. A wounded ram, too, always makes tor the reserve, just as a stag who knows the pound in a Scottish forest will make for the sanctuary. The sheep are Increasing rapidly, and a party of farmers recently passed close to three fine rams who never even stopped feeding, such security

did they feet The Mg nuns often work out, but a few remain in the reserve itself. The reserve is very well observed, and no one is allowed to shoot there. I have already alluded to the sale of heads. Formerly mounted heads could be exported without export duty, but this is not the case at present unless a special permit has been obtained. Moose, caribou, sheep and wapiti heads killed in British Columbia are not allowed to be sold or exported without permission, but heads obtained elsewhere can be branded and sold on payment of a fee. A great inducement to poachers is thus removed. Everyone carrying firearms must pay a $2 AO license. A resident’s license for big game costs $5. A guide’s license im the same, and a trapper’s $lO. A general game license for a non-resident is SIOO. In the Elk river reserve in East Kootenay wapiti are on the increase. It is a big reserve and, taken all round, about the finest piece of game country in British Columbia. In addition to the wapiti, sheep, goat, white tall and mule deer are in a flourishing condition, while an odd moose or two may be found, and it is a great grizzly country. The white tail deer are becoming a nuisance, and one of the rangers counted over a hundred in one day; but it is hard to get a good head, as they frequent the timber. Three are allowed to be killed on one license. In two or three years one wapiti bull will probably be allowed on each license, and some very fine trophies should be secured by those who are fortunate enough to be able to hunt them. Laws Hard to Enforce. Good game laws are easy to make, but very hard to enforce. As an illustration of the spirit which animates those in charge of the game, Mr. Williams told me the following story: A trapper was suspected of killing wapiti just outside the reserve, and the ranger asked Mr. Williams if he might make a special trip Into the reserve in midwinter to try and catch him, as he fancied that the suspect would wait until the worst season of the year, fancying himself Immune from pursuit. Accordingly the ranger, accompanied by a second, traveled over 150 miles on snowshoes over ground covered with from 4 feet to 8 feet of snow, with 8 or 9 inches of soft snow on top. They crossed a big range of mountains at an elevation of 9,000 feet, with a temperature about 30 degrees below zero, found the remains of a wapiti in one of the trap-’ Per’s huts, followed the trail, caught their man, took him out with them (occupying three days in doing so and having to pack everything themselves) and within half an hour of reaching civilization had obtained a conviction. The trapper was fined $250 for killing wapiti and SSO for killing mule deer. The effect of suqh an example is incalculable, as a poacher never knows when he is safe. Anyone and everyone who infringes the game laws is prosecuted. Last year for exceeding the limit of sheep a visitor was fined $250.

Rascally Bill Smith.

George Newman, during the recent Baltimore conventton of advertising men, told at the midnight banquet a number of advertising anecdotes. • "Then there was Bill Smith”-wo one anecdote began—"the rascally BUI Smith, who put in all the papers an advertisement saying: “ ’Send 30 two-cent stamps tor speedy, safe and certain rat exterminator." "A good many people, their properties being overrun with rats, sent tor the rat exterminator. In return for their 30 stamps they got this recipe from Bill: ’“Treat your, rats with kindness—they’ll die of surprise on the spot.’ ”
