OUTFIT FOR BRIDE

Ivory White Satin Remains'the Favored Material. Lace Is Again Fashionable and Often Family Heirlooms Are Used The Going-Away Gown. Though no one begrudges the bride of this year her traditional bridal panoply of ivory satin, lace and tulle, it is not expected of her to provide an elaborate and expensive trousseau of handsome evening gowns and stunning afternoon costumes, states a fashion writer. The sentiment of the times is against display in dress, and this year's dearth of formal entertainments, of the usual sequence of balls and dinners and house parties precludes the necessity of a large supply of costly clothes for anybody even for the bride who is supposed to enjoy a special program of gaieties in the first months of her married life. Honeymoons are being cut short this year as a rule the bridegroom, after a brief furlough for his wedding and the ensuing trip of a week or ten days, goes back to his regiment or to his ship and the bride settles down quietly with her home people or near them and though she goes out formally, has naturally not much heart for formal affairs. The wedding day costume, however, is another matter. It would be an un natural bride who did not claim her full privilege of bridal panoply, per haps claim it the more determinedly betause robbed of other privileges of brides in normal times. A woman can be a bride but once, and even in wartime she wants to wear the trailing white satin, the pearls, the orange blossoms and the symbolic veil which may be hers on this one great occasion and this one only of all her life. Many a beautiful wedding gown has been worn this year and the summer wedding gowns promise to be no less beautiful than those of midwinter. Ivory white satin, the traditional "bride" satin, Is the favored material for the wedding gown and though the spring models keep to the slender silhouette now insisted upon by fashion, there are many lovely ways of breaking the straight, slim lines with soft draperies and panels of r.iry fabric. Lace is again fashionable on the bridal gown and some are trimmed with rare old point and Yenice laces have come down as family heirlooms. Of the newer laces, shadow lace is the favorite, becaus6 of its delicate texture and lovely draping qualities. Embroidered chiffon is used also, and pearl embroidered chiffon is specially distinguished. Every bride nowadays seems to seek some individual and original veil arrangement and many are the interesting caps and coronets of lace or tulle from which the veil falls at the hack to the end of the train. The Russian cap, rising to a peak at the front, has been used, and various sorts of peasant cap, modified or exaggerated in line and carried out in lace, tulle or silver tissue. The veil now covers, or almost covers, the hair as a modern hat does and is no longer poised or perched high on the head, caught by a puff of tulle or a cluster of orange blossoms. Second only in importance to the bridal gown is the smart costume in which the bride bids farewell to her friends and starts away to begin her married life. The going-away gown, as it is always called, is less often a gown, than a tailored suit of formal and elaborate type; sometimes it is a gown covered by a very smart topcoat when the bride starts her wedding trip in a motorcar. This practical costume will most likely, this WING TRIMMED, ROLLED BRIM This stunning wing-trimmed hat has a charm which 's irresistible. The narrow roiled brim Ii in two-toned effect The arrangement of the wing?- is rather daring, but, very imart, and 'the flowing veil, which is a popular fashIon this spring, softens the effect of the whofo.

CAPE CUT ON NOVEL LINES

Although extreme in outline, this cape of bolivia cloth is one of the most attractive shown this year. It is in maroon shade with a large roll collar that forms a bodice effect and ties in front under the cape. The fringe is another new note. The cape is very charming and there is little doubt that it will be one of the favorites for the summer and fall seasons. spring, be a tailored suit of dark blue tricot serge made with a straight, plain skirt and dashing little jacket in loose box or Eton style and the bride will certainly possess one or two attractive waistcoats to do the suit justice; one waistcoat perhaps of dotted foulard silk, the other of beige silk poplin, or of pearl gray faille silk. ARRANGING THAT NEW COLLAR Piece Regarded as One of the Prettiest Decorations of the Present Season. Those new collars that are really long bias strips of fabric, made double, are perhaps one of the prettiest bits of neck accessory that we have had this season. They are really new, and they possess therefore the charm that always attaches itself to novelty. Moreover, they are in themselves at tractive. They lend themselves to all sorts of graceful arrangement, and they give a soft and becoming line at the neck, no matter how they are ar ranged. To begin with, they are made in the form of a double bias strip, from six to eight inches wide, and perhaps a yard or a yard and a quarter long. They are the simplest things in the world to make, for the double width of fabric is just sewed up, like an en velope, then turned right side out, the end left open is blind stitched shut, and the whole thing is pressed. But in spite of the fact that these new collars are so easy to make, they are well worth buying ready made, for they are sold in the shops reasonably in the most attractive fabrics. These new collars may be worn in many ways. Of course the most usual way is to bring it around the neck, rolled over softly and tie it in a four in-hand or loose knot at the end of the V-shaped line of the blouse in front. In this way these collars are worn on frocks of serge and foulard. Some times, too, the ends are tied like a Windsor tie In a bow, with two loops and two ends. Sometimes a little bias fold of net is stitched along one side of the center of the collar, and by means of this net the collar is basted into position. Oth erwlse it is best to pin it securely at the back with a little silver cull pin. These collars are made in satin, or gandie, georgette crepe, crepe de chine and chiffon. They are made in every color imaginable, as well as in white; and they are even made in little checks. Some of them in foulard show all sorts of designs, although the best foulard ones are dotted. Then there are others of black and white checks, in a rather big design, but one that is very effective, neverthless, either with a white or black or navy blue frock. ; A Knitting Help.

Cripple Naturally Averse to Giving Up Soft Snap t KANSAS dTX.Give the cripple a chance to be an honest man is the plea made In a report on Kansas City cripples compiled by James Ford, district superintendent of the research department of the board of public welfare. Mr. Ford made his observations from 150

cripples, most of them found north of Ninth street. Of these, 70 were selfsupporting, 14 partly so, 52 were beggars, and others were cared for by charity. Eighty were legal residents of Jackson county, 10 of Wyandotte county and 46 had no permanent resU dence. About 72 per cent of the men disabled were under thirty years old and self-supporting; 75 per cent of those disabled after forty years of

age were not self-supporting. The study shows that the beggars who Infest the streets and claim they are too badly crippled to work are entirely self-supporting. The success of the cripple in supporting himself depends a great deal on his attitude of mind. The use of alcohoi is a big factor, SO per cent of the begging cripples being addicted to liquor, whereas 69 per cent of the self-supporting disabled men do not use liquor. A peculiar sort of "cripples' philosophy" along the line, that the wTorld owes them a living, is generally the reason why a crippled man takes np

begging as a livelihood. It is often

with a leg off below the knee was offered a place by a merchant at 9 a week

with a promise of $15 after six. months. The cripple told the merchant that he could not consider the offer as he made more than $15 a week in less than

two hours "work" each day.

Disabled people are especially handicapped, Mr. Ford says, if they have no

home or relatives. Only 50 per cent

survey live with relatives and have any sort of home in the true sense. The balance of them live in cheap lodging houses among questionable surroundings.

"It would be much better for the cripples and the public if every cripple could have personal attention in solving his problems rather than to receive

doles from passersby on the streets," i Something Better Than

NCREASE IN WESTERN

CANADA LAND VALUES But Forty and Fifty Bushels of Wheat to the Acre. During the past year there has been a greater demand for farm lands in Western Canada than for a number of years past The demand is for good farm lands improved or unimproved. And at an increase of Jtrom ten to fif teen dollars an acre more than the same lands could be had for a couple of years ago. The rise in rhe price of every kind of produce grown on these Western lands, in some cases to double and in other's to treble the price prevailing be fore 1914, have attracted and are at tracting in ever-increasing proportions the men who are anxious to invest their money, and apply their energies In the production of wheat for which the allied nations are calling with voices which grow louder and more anxious as the months roll on, and the end of the war still seems distant Beef, and more especially bacon, are required in ever greater quantities, and the price of all these things has soared, until it is not a question of what shall we produce, but how much can we produce. Even should this world calamity be brought to a close in six months from now, it will be years before normal pre-war prices prevail, and meantime self-interest if not patriotism is turning the minds of thousands back to the land. The in evitable consquence has been the rise in values of land, especially wheat land. The Calgary Herald, commenting on these conditions says: "From inquiries made from leading dealers in farming and ranching prop erties, and from the information gathered in other ways, it is known that the value of all land wheat land. mixed farming properties, and even good grazing land has risen in the last two years 40 per cent. Wheat lands in some districts have practically doubled in price. One dealer in furm lands recently sold three sections for $70 an acre, one extra good quar ter went as high as $90, and another brought $100. These are, of course, large prices, but that they will be equaled or even surpassed in the near future is beyond question. There Is a feature about this rush to the land from which the most solid hope can be drawn for the success of the movement. The proper tillage of land, to produce large crops in a climate like ours is now understood and practiced as it never was in the early days of the province. It would seem too that with the increase of land under culti vation, the seasons are changing and the rainfall becoming greater and more regular. "Crops are being harvested, especial ly in Southern Alberta, which would have seemed impossible to the old-time farmer, with his old-fashioned ideas of breaking and seeding. And at the price now set by the government for wheat and which possibly may be increased during the coming season, the return to the practical skilled agriculturist must necessarily be very large. "What matters $10 or even $20 an acre extra on wheat land when a return as high as 50 bushels and even more may be taken from every acre sown? With hogs bringing $20 a hundred pounds; beef on the hoof at $12, -and mutton $16, while wool under the new government arranged system of handling and sale brings 65 cents a pound (and these values cannot fall to any great extent for some years) the demand for land will continue and values Increase in a corresponding degree. "There has never been in the history of Canada a time so favorable for the farmer as the present; self-interest, the inspiration of patriotic feeling, the aid freely extended by the government, who are permitting the import of certain agricultural Implements free, all these tend to still further raise the price of Alberta land."
