MOE REVIVAL IN .

ESTERN CANADA Not a Myth but an Actuality Shown in the Returns of Agricultural Statistics and Every Department of Trade and Commerce. The trade revival in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta is an actuality and not a myth. There is today a spirit, of optimism in tho air, Just as two years ago there prevailed the opposite spirit of pessimism. A goneral trade revival has been felt in every department of business In the Pralrlo Provinces. The agriculturists are in better shape than they have ever boon before In their lives. No farmers of any country are in better financial condition and in a more general state of prosperity than are the farmers of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. The farmers have harvested a record crop p. crop which enriches them to tho extent of something over $400,000,000. In tho cities the prosperity of th country has been reflected. Everywhere business is on the hustle. Tho wholesalers and tho retailers and the Implement dealers And business goo. The banks and other collection houses find collections satisfactory, and finsf. clal men declare that westerners ffe paying up their debts. In Winnipeg the bank clearings have been the largest in history, exceeding some weeks the figures of Montreal and Toronto. The grain shipments have been tho biggest in the history of Winnipeg and In the history of tho twin ports, Fort William and Port Arthur. The mall order houses have had a big year, th rush of fall orders exceeding all previous years and taxing the capacity of these establishments, whose most sanguine expectations have been exceeded fcy the actual business done. The tide has turned in western Canada. The people of the West are forging ahead, forging ahead in actual production and in creation of wealth, giving generously to charitable and other funds, paying up their back debts, while going alng carefully as regards any cretV new debts. They are economizir. v act scrimping, acting cautious'!, -ut not miserly. The financial heads of eastern Canada, of the United States and of Europe are no longer criticizing western Canada; rather they are unstintedly offering their praise and their compliments.. The financial press recognizes that the tide has turned in western Canada, and it has been published to the world. The condition of western Canada at the close of 191H is one of optimistic prosperity, backed by the same determination of western people to go on Increasing their productive ness and maintaining the records wnich they have already established. The trade revival of western Canada Is the happiest feature in the business survey of the whole Dominion for 1915 and in the outlook for 1916. Advertisement. Another Land.

Amid War's Alarms

i By MABEL WORTHINGTON (Copyright, IM. by W. O. Chapman.) A bomb burst fifty foot away from tho stroot. A woman screamed and oYon a municipal officer lost his head and dashed helter-skelter from tho spot. A young man, well dressed, composed, rather interested than arouBcd, lit a fresh itcIgarott6 and viewed tho scampering residents, a slightly amused expression upon his handsome faco. A new philosophy had been born in him during recent critical hours. He was one of many refugees driven to the little Belgian town, at first a seeming sanctuary from war's alarms, but now practically invested by the enemy. In one direction it was open country, but there was a desolate waste to cross scarcely having roads before a ra I railroad was to be reached. That leavng tho town was torn up for ten miles nd blockaded beyond. Driven closer and closer to the bor der, some fifty tourists had been finally W grouped at the little town. They had ranidlv senarated in various directions. Those of the permanent inhabi tants who could had fled. That morn ing Adrian Noble had arrived in an old-time diligence attached to a tired and wornout horse. At Manse it had picked up a young lady passenger. She, too, had come to Eilon tb find herself there with no guaranteed egress from the place. Noble was a man of leisure. This much he learned of Miss Violet Moore: She was of an artistic temperament and the war had interfered with her A Bomb Burst Fifty Feet Away. plans for a long-continued hegira. Her uncle, a wealthy man, was awaiting her in Paris. Her beauty had captivated Noble at the first. Her courage and fearlessness of a situation that would have thrown most women into hysterics aroused his admiration. Just now he saw her coming down the street, calm, unterrified at the peril and panic on the street. She halted to reassure a frightened child, rushing to her skirts for protection. Noble lifted his hat as he approached, with the words: "I do not imagine that these stray shells are anything worse than a reminder, or a threat, to scare the natives, but you should not court the risk of the open street." "But you?" she challenged him, with a friendly smile. He shrugged his shoulders. It was not in disdain or braggart indifference. Everything was ennui to him at the present moment. "I have & nussion," she continued, her face instantly becoming grave. "The priest at the old hospice down the street yonder sent a messenger to the hotel to learn if some arrival there bound for Prance would call upon him on a matter of vital importance. I was the only one there answering the description, so " "You risked your life!" interposed Noble. "Miss Moore, I shall insist upon being your escort. We are companions of voyage and it is my province to protect you. "As you like, and thanks," she laughed lightly, but with an entire absence of affectation or coquetry. "I fear some new situation and misery mpels the appeal. That was true. As, they rushed to the old, dilapidated shell of a building they were greeted at the door by a serious but kindly-faced old man in the garb of a priest. He led them into a room where a dozen young children were playing on the floor with some building blocks. Pie motioned, his visitors to be seated. "You are truly kind," he said. "I am placed in a position wThere my heart nearly fails me. You see these poor little ones? They are orphans, all of them, brought from along the line of war devastation, without friends, without a shelter save my poor home here." Noble Tiewed the little group pit-

"But I scarcely know how I shall get

"Thoro are no trains," ho said, "no body hero f 1 the Inhabitants seems to think of an thing but his own escape. J doubt if I could And a conveyance in tho town, but thoro may bo a way. I will see." A queer sensation of interest thrilled Adrian Noble as the beautiful girl di rected toward him an approving and appreciative glance. He made his de parture, strangely anxious to continue her favorable opinion of him. It was an hour later when Noble re appeared at the old hospice. He drove a sorry nag, attached to a hay rack. This was piled knee-deep with hay, and over it some ragged but thick blankets lay. "It is the best I could do," he explained to the priest. "A refugee was anxious to get rid of his surplus and, under the present conditions, worthless belongings. I struck a bargain for cash." "But who will drive?" inquired the innocent-faced priest. "Why, myself," replied Noble, with a careless laugh. Then he caught a merry gleam in the eyes of MIbs Moore. She had read him aright as a fastidious idler, used to the equipages of luxury, rather than this slatternly outfit, and the vivid contrast momentarily amused her. The priest helped them to pack the little ones into the vehicle. He added to their equipment all the eatables he had in the house. As they drove off Noble lifted his hat reverently and the eyes of Miss Moore were full of tears. Their recent host had his hands raised in benediction. Then he turned to face new duties amid carnage and suffering. The blind route the refugees took led them a good many more than forty miles ere they reached safety. It was pitiful to view the orphaned little ones leaving their native land forever. Miss Moore was tender and attentive. Noble made them comfortable and buoyant. This was decidedly a new experience and its winning phase was the presence of the lovely girl, who took up the care of the children as though it was her life work. When they reached Paris their charges were taken to a hotel by Noble. There appeared Miss Moore and her father a little later. He thand. Noble for his protecting escort. He looked over the children speculatively. "I think I'll adopt them," he said finally. "I say, Violet, we can get the people at the home farm to take them in and ourselves keep track of their progress in life." "I shall be interested to see them permanently housed," remarked Noble. "As I am going also to return to the United States" "We can't spare you from the party, of course," declared Violet's uncle. And one beautiful moonlight night, steaming homeward bound, Adrian Noble told his love to the girl who had roused him to a new and truer interest in humanity. "Our little wards," spoke Noble tenderly, when Violet had said yes. "We will see them grow into men and women together." MAKE THEIR MEANING PLAIN Masters of Literature Have Always Refrained From What Might Be Called "Highbrow" Writing. It is quite generally assumed that the great and the true are intrinsically too difficult for common understandings. I believe the assumption to be nonsense, Henry Sydnor Harrison writes in the Atlantic. If a man thinks he has a story to tell and deliberately sets to work to tell it in such a manner that only extraordinary and brilliant persons can hope to follow him, that man is a dreary fool. But great novelists, whatever else they are, are never dreary fools; and their unapproachableness, when they are unapproachable, is never willful, I suppose, and never the proof of their greatness. To employ a manner and a narrative method which ordinary readers find quite impenetrable and even the most cultivated persons at times find irritating to the last degree thlS IS no mark OI tne good, DUt the limp in a -great man's gait. To baffle, bewilder, frustrate and "lock up" the reader this is a novelist's crime, no matter who commits it. And the fixed truth seems to be that the biggest episodes, characters, conflicts, morals and meanings are not at all beyond the mental grasp of ordinary persons; nnd the greatest j novelists have commonly and without effort, lodged their intentions in the minds of great masses of plain people. Movement of Martian Canals. With regard to the alleged shifting of the canals of Mars over the face of the planet, Professor Lowell states in Popular Astronomy that this phenomenon was detected at his observatory 19 years ago, and is therefore no novelty. He believes that there is not an actual displacement of the canals, but that there are, in each case, several canals that become successively visible.

SIMPLE DANCE FROCK

ESPECIALLY DAINTY IN DESIGN, AND EASILY MADE, Net FMouncei, So Popular This Year, Constitute ths principal Trimming Wide Silk Girdle Should Be Worn With It. It would not bo posslblo to ilnd a simpler or moro easily xnado littlo frock for misses and small women than is shown In this design. The lines aro good and aro easily put together by tho homo dressmaker, and tho Spanish llouncos can bo made of bordered or plain or any kind of material of which tho frock Is built. So many embroidered and fancy not flounclngs are on the market that one is saved much stitching and planning when these can bo purchased, and meroly sewed together and adjusted tc the waistband. Here is the secret of a well-fitting skirt. Make your skirt top well set and tho whole skirt will hang prettily. One of the most popular of tho net ilounclngs for dresses this year is all embroidered with narrow braidB, such as soutache, satin braid, rat-tail and the like. These braids are so stitched upon the net as to give the effect of novel hand-embroidery, and they weight the net sufficiently to make it serviceable as a flounce. Tho lining of theso frocks may be of any color of silk, or a substitute for silk, and so the color effect is obtained. Of course, such ribbuns and flowers as are used should be of a color to match the lining or to harmonize with the complexion, eyes or hair of the girl. Either long or short sleeves may be worn, and the collar at the bick may be omitted, at will, since collars vary so that a dress for a whole season will want more than one sort of collar before the season is concluded. For young girls sashes are prettier and more fashionable than belts, and wide silk girdles, many of them Dainty Dance Frock. fringed, are preferred to the simpler forms of girdles. The general tendency in dress accessories is to quaintness and to the styles worn during the Civil war and on the continent when Eugenie reigned empress of beauty as

TO RENEW FADED CLOTHES

Simple Method by Which Color May Be Restored to Garments That Have Lost Freshness. Have you a little pile of discarded underwear and blouses in one end of a bureau drawer clothes discarded because they have lost their once pink complexion and are now a disconsolate grayish-yellow heap? If you have such things, take heart. The blouse that through careless washing or sun or perspiration has turned yellow can be made a pink again. The gt gown or petticoat, camisole or 0ther piece of underlinen can be restored to its original pinkness. More than that, a white garment that has grown yellow because of the water, perhaps, with which it is necessarily washed a surprisingly larye amount of water has a yellow tingecan be dipped and made pink to cover the yellowness. Now, there are several ways of coloring white things pink. One way is to buy a package of red dye and use a very little of it, well diluted with water. Dip the thing to hA ninked into this, and if it is not dark enough, add more dye. Let it dry and iron it and it will be ready to wear. Of course this color, easily applied, easily comes out, so after a few washings the dipping must be repeated perhaps the very next washing will take it all out. But it is no more trouble to use than bluing water. Then there arc special colored powders for the purpose that are dissolved In water to be used like bluing. These powders come in most of the popular

NEW CAPE FROM PARIS

striking innovation in capes is this monk's cowl of brown broadcloih. The cape Is very simply made, without trimmings, and reaches to the knees. One side is thrown over the shoulder. To the cape there is attached a hood edged with braid and trimmed with a fancy rosette in front and back. well as empress of the French.ington Star. WashMATERIALS FOR THE JUNIORS List Is a Long One, and Provision Has Been Made for Every Style of Garment, Tweed, cheviot, vicuna, corduroy and broadcloth form the coat fabric list. Sometimes there is a border of plush simulating fur, but mostly it Is fur itself that constitutes the trimming. Dressy coats of velveteen incline to such shades of Burgundy, Russian green, sapphire, blue and gold. For the dressy frock Georgette crepe combined with velveteen, with taffeta or crepe de chine is favored. The semiprincess style is the one which young girls seem to like, but no matter what the special lines, always the ensemble remains exceedingly simple and appropriate for the youthful wearer. Evening gowns are liked in tulle in several pastel tones mounted over satin. Two-tone taffeta is another favored material, and there are beautiful frocks of velvet with just a suspicion nf p-nlfl tracerv on bodice and skirt. Many of the party frocks are provid er! with shfier vokes and sleeves of tulle or maline. For sport wear there are sweaters of angora or llama wool, with borders jinrl enllars in contrasting color. For those who like the silk sweater there are new models in checked or striped designs. High colors lead in sport garments, but the girl who is going to normal school or entering her fresh man year at college will be able to select a sweater with a matching cap and scarf in the school or college colors. The schoolgirl who is the daughter of a practical mother has her dress of plaited washable flannel or of serge completed by bloomers of matching material, which add to the warmth of the garment without additional weight. Mnrpnvfir. there is economy in the bloomer dress, since the nether gar ment does not show the soil as quickly as the muslin one. The wise parent usually provides two or more bloomers to a single dress. light shadesand pink. -tan and lavender, blue Pomade tor the Scalp. A pomade for the scalp that is high ly recommended is made of strained beef marrow and olive oil. The marrow is obtained from beef bones and put into a small saucepan to melt. It should then be strained and the oil added. Twenty drops of benzoin stirred in will preserve the mixture. The quantities required are a gill of strained marrow to a tablespoonful of olive oil. The pomade is greasy, but the grease is really required. In order that It may be applied without making the hair temporarily impossible to dress, the hair should be parted in a great many places and a tiny bit of tho pomade rubbed into the scalp on the tips of the fingers. Most women make the mistake of putting on too much of any unguent at one time. Decorating the Fish Bowl. Surprisingly charming in effect is a modern style aquarium. It is in the shape of a huge fish bowl. On he outside of the bowl are painted black leaves and stems and flowers, and in the bottom of the bowl, instead of the usual gravel, are a lot of jade marbles. The color effect with the coppery fish flashing in the bowl is lovely. High Satin Boots for Evening. The shoe shops are showing satin boots in all the evening colors for wear with dance frocks and in beautiful brocades as well.
