WONDERFUL GROWTH OF THE CANADIAN WEST

The Citiss of Western panada Reflect the Growth of the Country.

; As one passes through Western Canada, taking the City bf Winnipeg as a starting point, and then keeping tab on the various cities and towns that line the network of railways that cover the provinces of Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Alberta, and covering the eyes as the gaze is bent on these it is felt that there must be “something of a country” behind it all. Then gaze any direction you like and the same view is presented. Field after field of waving grain, thousands and hundreds of thousands of them. Farm hands and laborers are at work converting the virgin prairie with more fields. Pasture land in every direction on which cattle are feeding, thriving and fattening on the grasses that are rich in both milk and beef properties, hut it is unfortunate that more cattle are not seen. That, how-, ever, is correcting itself. Here we have in a large measure, the evidence of the wealth that helps to build up the cities, and it should not be forgotten that the cities themselves have as citizens young men who have come from other parts, and brought with them the experience that has taught them to avoid the mistakes of eastern and southern cities. They also are Imbued with the western spirit, of enterprise, energy and push, and so Western Canada has its'cities. At a banquet recently given in Chicago, a number of prominent citizens of Winnipeg were guests. Among the speakers was Mayor Deacon of Winnipeg. In speaking of the remarkable growth of that city, which in thirty years has risen from a population of 2,00 b to one of 200,000, he spoke of it as being the gateway of commerce and continued: “Now, how great that tide of commerce is you will have some conception of when I tell you that the wheat alone grown in the three prairie provinces this year is sufficient to keep a steady stream of one thousand bushels per minute continuously night and day going to the head of the lakes for three and one-half months, and in addition to that the oats and barley would supply this stream for another four months. “The value of the grain crop alone grown in the three prairie provinces would be sufficient to build any of our great transcontinental railroads, and all their equipment, everything connected with them, from ocean to ocean.

“Nojv, if able to do this with only ten per cent, of our arable land under cultivation what will our possibilities be when 258.000.000 of acres of the best land that the sun shines on is brought under the plow? Do you not see the portent of a great, vigorous, populous nation living under those sunny skies north of the 49th parallel? And If with our present development we are able to do as we are doing now, to purchase a million dollars’ worth of goods from you every day of the year, what will our trade be worth when we have fully developed the country? “Now, who shall assist us to develop this great empire that is there? Shall it be the alien races nf southern Europe or shall it be men of our own blood and language? In the last three fiscal years no less £iat 358,000 American farmers have come into Western Canada, bringing with them goods and cash to the value of $350,000,000. And I want to say here that no man who sets loot on our shores Is more entirely and heartily welcome than the agriculturist from the south. “So long as these conditions remain I consider that this is the best guaranty that the sword will never again be drawn in anger between the two great branches of the Anglo-Saxon race. The grain crops of Western Canada in 1913 have well upheld the reputation that country has for abundant yields of all small grains.”—;Advertieement.

Cruel Act of Warfare.

One hundred years ago General McClure. learning of the disastrous remit of the American campaign In Lower Canada and fearing his own force would he attached fcy the British resolved to evacuate Fort George and abandon the country. This he accordingly did, with all his troops, and with such precipitancy that he left behind his tents add stores. His retreat was accompanied by an act that has left an indelible stigma upon hia name. The frost bad set in early and severe. The snow lay deep upon the ground. Yet at 89 minutes’ notice, of 189 houses In the Canadian village of Newark, he fired all save one, and drove 400 helpless women and children to seek shelter In the tog huts of the scattered settlers, or in the bark wigwams of the wandering Indians.

Pleas for Patriotism.

"You should be patriotic and coptribute your valuable services to your country without thought df pecuniary reward!" - a

“1 will,” replied the official; "just as soon as a whole lot of people get patriotic enough to quit sending their' hills to me.”

The Same.

"My dear, this pie tastes just a bit •tale —it must be yesterday’s." "Yes,” replied Mrs. Hardcrust, “and If you don't eat it today it. will be tomorrow’s!”

Contraries.

"Poor Jibbs has an Itching for fame and fortune.” "Yes, and he has to scratch for it"

WITH FUR TRIMMINGS

VELVET THE FASHIONABLE MATERIAL JUST NOW. k Combination Is Peculiarly Rich and Effective—White and Black, With a Dash of Other Color, a Feature of the Models.

By MAftY DEAN. Velvet .in more than ever In evidence, and an entire costume df one of the beautiful rich colored soft French or English velvets, trimmed with for, should make the woman who Is wearing it feel as though she had a long list of aristocratic ancestors, and had sat in the lap 6f luxury all her days Tailored gowns of velvet may have either a long or a short coat. The flounced skirt Is particularly modish, and suggests the charming little tunic a la minaret. The majority of the

Golden Brown Velour de Laine—Edging of Fitch—Girdle of Brown Velvet

skirts are cut with godet plaits, and form real godet folds on the hips. The same effect may be noticed on the jacket. ——— ••

Many fur-trimmed models in velvet are fashioned in bolero style. A highshaped girdle of the velvet extends to just below the (bust line to give the necessary warmth. The white and black combination continues In favor, and some of the most distinctive models introduced this season are in black and white, with a mere dash of color somewhere. Drecoll Is responsible for one of the prettiest of these black and white creations, which has bodice and tunic of white chiffon and trimmings of Jet heads. The beads form bands for the neck, under part of the Bleeves and lower part of the tunic. The skirt is a draped model in the supplest of black velvet. The detail which gives special cachet to this frock consists of the skirt drapery, which, beginning «t the right side of the skirt front between the hem and the knee, runs backward and upward over the tunic of chiffon and is fastened in a big, soft, flat bow at the left side back at the waistline. The muchneeded touch of color is shown in the

DICTATES OF FASHION

Collars, jabots and fichus, if they give the vest or chemisette effect*, are fastofomaMe. Draped muffs at velvet are extremely large. They are frequently elaborately trimmed. Two tone or plaited hosiery comes In a wide variety of colorings and combinations of colors. Very smart are the women’s shoes with black cloth tops and vamps of dull soft kid without tips. To conceal rather than outline the figure is the distinguishing note of the-up-to-date Mouse. Small draped hats of velvet, with a tingle feather fancy tellingly placed, are in unusually good taste. A distinctive note of the embroidery which is used on gowns this season is the degree to Which It Is padded. Apparently, it cannot be too heavily padded, and when the hand work Is done in worsteds the padding Is accentuated.

Baggy Top Coats.

The top coat is more baggy, and shapeless than eyer, and the closer the woman who goes in for sporty effects follows the lines of the men’s coats the more satisfactory will be her garment She will rival her masculine neighbor in the number of patch pockets, however, for they seem to pop out everywhere. The collar should be arranged to fasten closely to the thtbat, and the sleeves should strap tightly to the wrist If (necessary. English melton In a striped effect is a new material, which is considered very chic for the top boat, and It comes in all the heather colorings and other English looking combinations of color.

girdle of rose satin which encircles the waist. The neck, front and bottom of bolero are trimmed with dark fur. The tunic Is also bordered with a band of the fur. The tailored frock sketched is of a beautiful shade of rich golden brown velour de laine trimmed with fitch. The girdle is of brown velvet. An admirable model of white duvetyn was shown in a smart shop on Fifth avenue the other day. The skilt, bodice and upper part of the peplum were *of white duvetyn. To the lower part of the peplum was Attached a broad border of plaited brown mousseline de sole trimmed at the bottom with a band of sable. There was a brown velvet collar with tie of the brown mousseline knotted at the front The girdle was of the brown mousseline, tied at the back in a flat bow. The long sleeves were finished at the wrist with a double frill of brown mousseline. There was a hat to accompany the frock of brown tulle trimmed in front With a brown aigrette.

USE CARE IN THE “MAKE-UP”

Cosmetics May Be Made Harmful Instead of Beautifying If They Are Improperly Applied.

“Cosmetic” means “beautifying.” If the contents of your make-up box do not enhance your charms, give the box to your dearest friend —or enemy. It is a fundamental law of art to conceal art, and If, when you have “touched up” your cheeks and lips, your eyes and brows and all the rest of your features, you look as if you had undergone the process, take my word for it, your charms are not enhanced. v,... . - .' On the other hand it is a narrowminded, woman who would not resort to a bit of rouge when her pallor is unbecoming, or powder when her skin is unpleasantly shiny. Cosmetics Bhould be regarded ae an aid only, and not be depended upon to hide defects caused by carelessness in the regular toilette of the face. The face should be kept perfectly clean and always a cold cream applied before rouge or powder. Both rouge and powder should “match” the complexion. That is, if you are a brunette the r<?uge will have a yellowish tinge and the powder* hint of ecru, while the blonde will take a pinkish rouge and clearer white powder.

The rouge, to defy detection, must be applied so that it gradually fades into the tint of the skin from a high light, which for one persbn may be on the cheek bones, for another nearer the eyes.

But after the rouge is applied the rest of. the features will probably need touching up so as not to stand out too much in relief. The lobes’of the ears,, the chim the lips, and the nostrils will need attention, in all cases the rouge being blended into the skin bo nicely as to leave no edge.

Birthday Announcements.

The etiquette of birth announcements is definite. The folded sheet of pale pink bordered note paper announcing the arrival, the date, the weight, and the name of the parents, is sent out within twenty-four hours after the birth to every immediate relative and to all Intimate friends on both sides of the family.—The sheet of paper exactly fits into a two by two-and-a-half-inch envelope, also narrowly color-bordered, and, If the child Is a boy, bearing on its flap the full coat-of-arms of Its father’s family. A girl’s announcement cannot carry a crest, bnt may have the parents’ Initials intertwined.

New Spoon-Knife.

A Philadelphia woman has just patented a fruit spoon-knife of manifold usefulness. This spoon-knife has a flanging edge uprlslrfe from'its bowl, that has a waved cutting edge not unlike the form seen on a certain style of cake and bread knives.

Orderly Service.

A Methodist parson, called to preach at an out-of-the-way town in California was informed, before entering the pulpit, that he must be careful, as many of the assembled congregation were .“roughs,” and would not hesitate to pull him from .the pulpit If his remarks did not suit th^rn. The minister made no reply, but having reached the sacred desk, he took from his pocket two revolvers, and placing one on each side of the Bible,, gave a sharp glance around the room and said: “Let ns pray.” A more orderly service was never held. —National Monthly.
