FAULTY WORK OF ARTISTS

Writer’s Complaint Is in Effect That Illustrators Pay Too Little Attention to Text of Story. Z I describe by word and deed a sturdy young countryman, and lie becomes under pencil of my illustrator a sentimental noodle with long hair. I tell of the extraordinary achieyemeht of aVery old or a very weak person in the rescuing of a drowning Child, and my hero is pictured as a Hercules to whom the feat would drove - been no feat lit all. I put upon my country heroine the sunbonnet which is her natural and suitable head-cover-ing. anti sure as fate, she appears in a turban such as only an African mammy would wear. I describe a spotted dog, running as spotted dogs invariably run, under his carriage, and the artist makes him a solid black. A ~gentle protest to a friend produces the astonished and :ts- T tonishing reply that the artist is the most famous delineator of animals in America and that I should be proud to have his name under mine on the title-page. If he is the most famous delineator of animals in America, why could he not draw my little spotted dog? I do not suffer alone. Within a few years a leading American monthly published a story in which there were three characters, two men and a woman. Though one of the men appeared chiefly as a raconteur, his sex was made plain, not only by many indirect allusions, btft by a clear statement.

USE CUFF HEN ON NEW SKIRTS

Parisian Designers of Recent Models Have Introduced a , Novel Feature. —J—i—— EFFECT IS THAT OF FRAME Designs Seen So Far Have Been Charmingly Effective—Many Ways in Which It Can Be Arranged to Get Best Results— Blouses Without Belts. New York. —An actually new feature of fashion which the materials reflect, or possibly instigate, /Is the use of a turned-up hem, culled a cuff hem. at the bottom of skirts, made of brilliant colors or plain fabrics, with an -Egyptian or Aztec design printed on them. There are many kinds of materials for these V <,r,l< ‘ rs - und a woman can frame herself in, as It were, by bordering her skirt, cuffs, collar and waistline. All artists know the value of a. frame. They realize that any arrangement of lines and colors needs a strong outline around it to co-operate its parts into a pleasing whole, and it is the artists who have constantly Impressed upon women that their costumes need some one strong; note going around the figure. At last comes the border; -to da tin s-very thing. - -Yeuyourself know the difference between an unframed and a framed picture. You know what striking character is given to a small design of any kind By taking-a htt”or dindr TaiHU- ti on and putting a line around it. —- trra( , T l v this thing is being: done in fashion. A woman will bn framed in with a sharp line of some dark or brilliant color. It need not be bniatl.; A slender line does tin* work in an effective way. On Shantung, tussor, jersey silk and muslins, there will be a sharp, distinct frame made through a border of the same or another material in marked coloring. ,Where It Is Most Effective. It is more important to put this striking frame around a gown which has designs on it, than around one made of plain fabric. Take, for in-

This is a very new bit of millinery from Paris, which is a different version of the high hat from the one we know. It is all white, and the feathers rise to an amazing height, y

Flying birds that' have gone through all the art of China, and <piivoring.butt erfires- fl,vrng in flocks; have been taken up by the designers in different ways They are printed on the surface in a remarkable manner, in lines, in circles, and again as fragmentary bits of color. irregularly placed. Even though the house of Callot uses jnateriils with qui vering butterflies in blue, black and yellow floating over the surface, .such a material is not for every woman. One must have many gowns in the wardrobe to take possession of one of this variety, and. before putting money info these expensive fabrics, veil to he Quite sure that the face and figure can carry off so startling a rhotif its flying birds anil butteries. Blouses Minus Sleeves.* The kind of Russian blouse which is kept in fashion for the spring has an exceedingly ornamental belt placed at -the normal waistline. To begin with this lifting of the belt hra change from what we have been wearing. In the medieval styles which have influenced us greatly for the last six months, there has been an omission of the belt, or it has been placed at the hips ; trat the whole tendency Of dress, as we get It from france this month, is toward emphasizing the normal waistline for

the street and the empire waistline for the house. Mind you, the Russian blouse, or any kind of bodice that has an outside peplum, does not carry a belt that confines the material at waistline and into the measurements of the figure; It carries a beltjthat is even in outline but merely lakes in a bit of the fullness at the place where the waistline is arranged on the figure itself. This is an Interesting development in clothes and should not be missed by the woman who watches the small things. No Sleeves to Blouses. Another interesting feature is that -these Russian blouses are without sleeves. This is nothing new, but its accentuation in these late styles shows that we will probably keep to the jumper effect. Even in house gowns 4here are sleevesof fine, Jtea-tinted muslin with Byzantine embroidery at the cutis, and a bit of a yoke, or rather, a line of the same material coming above the oblong flatness of the neckline. These sleeves and this piece at the neck are not detached from the blouse; they are part of it. There are also blouses made of brilliant red Shantung which are cut well out at the armholes, and raiher high at the neck in the medieval line, and show an underpiece of black satin that comes well out Over the hrmholes.. satin encircling the wrist, drop the full peasant sleeves with their vivid embroidery. Revival of Smocking.

material, there has come about a revival of this primitive style of handwork. It Jias been used for three or four years on that wide assortment of so-called garden costumery that took women’s fancy, but, as a means of ornamentation, it was not-used on high priced, elaborate garments until Lanvin and Cheruit took it up for velvet evening capes. Lanvin went from smocking to quilting,, and it is rather strange that America has not caught .up with this trick of fashion, for we were once known, as nation of q uilters and our quilting bees, as a method into bur history. The French, are still using quilting as a method of ornamenting coats and one-piece frocks. A satin Street suit, 'made with severity, has its hem, its belt, and the wrist part of its long, tight sleeve finished in machine quilting done in course, black silk thread. Sports skirts of white jersey have quilted hems of scarlet, and quilted kangaroo p<*ckets hanging from the sides of tlie three-quarter coats. This stitchery rivals smocking bn the Trench gownsT and both of these methods of ornamenting a plain garment should suggest'to the who sews at home, an excellent way out of an' ever present difficulty.

Child’s Apron.

For this purpose a clever mother designed and imide a very cunning model. She fused blue-checked gingham for thei_aprqn and cut it so that the apron hail sleeves. By using the kimono idea, ' cutting the apron and sleeves in one, the pattern called for very little extra work or material. The neck line wa* bound with blue braid and the same trimnied the narrow cuffs into which the sleeves were gathered. Across the bottom of the-apron was stitched a strip of on which figure of children were painted. The muslin forms a deep pocket, which kidiiie Ctdl use'for any purpose she desires. The id..a is no doubt taken from; the pocket apron z so much in favor with grown-ups who do fancywork.

WOMEN! IT IS MAGIC! LIFT OUT ANY CORN

Apply a few drops then lift corns or calluces off with fingers—no pain.

-Just think! xou can tin off any corn or callus without pain or soreness. A Cincinnattmairdiscovered this ether compound and named it freezone. Any druggist win sell a tiny bbttle of freezone, like here shown, for very little cost. You apply a few drops directly upon a tender corn or callus. Instantly soreness disappears, then shortly you will find the corn or callus so loose that you can lift it right off. Freezone IL wonderful. It dries instantly, ic doesn’t eat away the corn or callus, but shrivels it up without even irritating the surrounding skin. Hard, soft or corns between the toes, as well as painful calluses, lift right off. There is no pain be-

fore or afterwards. If yout druggist hasn’t freezone, tell him to order a small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house. —adv.

SEVEN YEARS AGO AHD TO-DAY

Then He Had 6 Mules, $660 Cash and Some Equity—Today He Has $20,000 and Owns 2 Sections of Land. *The story of the wealth of Western Canada cannot be told too often; the truth will bear repeatings, And in telling of it it is hoped that advantage will be taken of the great opportunities that Western Canada offers by those who are today struggling for a mere existence, by those who are occupying lands, high in price and high in rentals.

Thousands-of-Southern Alberta farmers harvested an average of 40 to 50 bushels of No, 1 wheat to the acre. These farmers have more real money to spend than any other people on the American Continent. J. I). Johnston of Bladswofth, Sask., left Johnson County, Kansas, seven years ago. When he left he had $660 in cash, six mules, somesettler’s effects and an equity in some prairie land. Mr. Johnston tells his storv; .

“In my seven years’ residence in Saskatchewan, I have raised seven good crops the value of tins year’s crop alone being Twenty thousand dollars. I now own Two Sections of improved land,l7 hdfses and niules, 40 cattle, a large steam thresher and a full line of farm machinery.” We have made five trips to Kansas, one trip to the Pacific Coast and return. We have enjoyed the society of a class of people than whom none better can be found. The climate is healthful and invigorating. The soil Is fertile and productive, well adapted for the production of the best quality and large yield? of . all cereals and vegetables, wild and tame grasses. It is an excellent stock country.” .The question of taxes is one that carries with it considerable weight. Coming from a man like. Mr. Johnston the same weight should be given the answer. He says: The tax system especially commends "Itself.to me ds~being simple, reasonable and just. All direct taxes are' levied on the land at its appraised market value, exclusive «of improvements thereon. No tax on personal property. This tends to discourage the holding of lands by speculators who prevent its cultivation or improvement, hoping to realize profits from the enhanced value of their holdings due to the industrial activities of the bona fide settlers. It tends to encourage tlte settlers to rear substantial improvements upon their land without paying a penalty in the form of taxation therefor. It encourages the raising of live stock and the possession of other personal property necessary to the development of the country.

“The laws are well and economically administered. Citizens of the Dominion vote on election of members of parliament and members of the Provincial assembly, while on questions of local improvements and school matters the franchise is exercised by ratepavers, irrespecllvc of citizenship. The lieople are enterprlslng- achoot facilities are good Taxation, just and reasonable. Military service voluntary. Patriotic fervor unsurpassed, law and order the rule, and crime Vie rare exception. It is 'the land of banks. Schools, telephones, grain elevators, broad, fertile acres, good climate, good citizenship and abounding tn opportunities for the industrious man or woman of good morals, in slioft, the land of promise and fulfillment, I know of no better anywhere.” —Advertisement.
