Showing of Imported Frocks by One New York House Reveals the Ex travagance Thct Is to Be Marked. The shops are all displaying fem- Ining finery calculated to arouse the enthusiasm even of the most indiffer ent observer, but one house on lower Broadway had on vievz last week a collection of imported frocks which struck the high note of the season with regard to extravagance. Else where were found models as beautiful, but nowhere else were so many su perb creation’s shown in one group. Every famous French dressmaker was represented by the best of his or her productions, and looking over the scores of elaborate models and read ing the price labels, one could not help exclaiming over the extrava gance which can justify a shrewd buyer in catering after this fashion to American women. The only con clusion is that American purses must be full and American husbands and fathers must be very indulgent. But if this is to be a season of un usual extravagance it is also to be Chantilly Lace and Chiffon. a season of exceptionally beautiful clothes. This fact has been evident since the first autumn models began to drift across the seas, and the col lection of frocks referred to above em phasized it, underscored it, put ex clamation marks after it. After a general survey of the ex hibit, one was left with a dazed im pression as of a riot of velvets and furs, chiffons and laces, wonderful gleaming embroideries and supple silk en stuffs in lines of indescribable beauty. But closer study revealed the unity in variety and resolved the bewildering confections into their com ponent parts.

A bright bit of color was added in the way of a deep reddish-purple belt and garlands of roses of harmonizing tones. The blouse and tunic were of white chif fon. The profusion of Intricate embroi dery and beads is one of the most pro nounced features of the handsome eve ning frocks and a quantity of dull gold and silver is another thing that leaves a distinct impression. Velvet and fur are omnipresent, aid brocades are claiming a surer hold than was accord ed to them when manufacturers and dressmakers combined to push them last year. MARY DEAN. ♦ MANY NOVELTIES FOR FALL Wonderful Selection From Which the Woman of Fashion May Pick Her Favorite. Milady of fashion who is seeking for novelties in fall fabrics will have a wonderful selection to choose from this year. The soft colors which blend so well in furs show to special advan tage in the new materials. Kittens’ ear cloth, a soft, velvety material, just what the name Implies, is a triumph indeed of the weaver’s art. Drap de nymphe, a cloth fabric with the luster and drape of charmeuse, chenille cloth which is rich, soft and distinct ive, and peluche de laine bid fair to be some of the most used materials of the season. The demand for soft clinging folds and draperies this year has taxed the manufacturer's skill to the greatest de gree. The result from the loom is a marvel of art, even the stiff brocade of silver and gold, praised by our an cestress of old, has been transformed under the deft finger of the weaver in to a pliable material with a softness that falls and drapes at the modiste’s will. The brocade of this fall is of a royal richness, with a riot of color and fanciful designs. One beautiful design was woven of gold and claret, the warp being of one and the woof of the other. Over the background was bro caded a design in plain claret. The complete effect was an impression of veiled light. Pompons With Beads. Pretty pompons for slippers are made in this way: Gather a doubled strip of chiffon —about three inches wide when folded —into a rosette. Make a little satin rose of the same color. If you are not versed in the ways of making roses from satin, make two rosettes, as you made the chiffon one, one smaller than the other, and fasten them together, and they will look flow er like. Use bright crystal beads for the flower center, and dot beads around the edges of the petals of the satin rose. Pure, clear glass beads give the best effect, but gold or silver beads would also be pretty. To Strengthen Silk Stockings. To savte silk stockings, first buy them larfee, almost a full size larger than you may wear in a cotton or lisle stocking, next darn loosely the heel and toe, and places for garter catches, all before wearing the stockings. This prevents holes from appearing in heel and toe and the knee from having runners. Rinse out in cold water aft er each wearing, and the stockings will last two or three times longer than when these precautions are not taken. Have a Waistcoat. Have a waistcoat for your autumn suit. All that you need is a yard and a quarter of silk in Scotch plaid, checked brown and old rose or black and white and this you divide -evenly and poin at the shoulders to a narrow strip which extends round the back of the neck. The applied pieces must broaden to wide, shaped ends which button together at front center and make a perfect waistcoat effect. to fit any r glasses can be made on the lines of that shown. It is cut out in three pieces, one piece form ing the body of the case and fold over flap, and the other two pieces the sides. After the material has been cut out, it should be lined and then sewn together, the seams being hidden with a fine silk cord which is carried round the edge of the flap. This flap can either be made to fasten with small buttons and buttonholes, or two snap fasteners, cut possibly from an old kid glove, can be used. A long loop or ribbon (the ends of which are sewn in on either side of the case) is provided by which it may be carried slung upon the wrist. The colors of the materials are a matter of choice, but dark green silk fined with soft silk of a lighter shade of the same color, and ribbon and cord of an old gold color, would be a strikingly pretty and effective combi nation. To Dress the Neck. A band of fancy ribbon for the neck, topped with a narrow edge of fur, fas tens at the left side under a flat bow of the ribbon, one edge of which is fur-trimmed. On no type of neckwear does narrow ft»r trimming show off to better advantage than on a gracefully draped fichu. Many such fichus are made of embroidered net or chiffon. Some of them have a wide throat band of black velvet, together with a fichu jabot finish. Popular Collar. The beautiful Medici collar haa reached a high place in popular favor and is expected to retain widespread vogue this fall and winter. ANOTHER GOOD YEAR IN WESTERN CANADA MANITOBA, SASKATCHEWAN AND ALBERTA HAVE SPLENDID CROPS. The results of the threshing throughout Western Canada shows a more wonderful yield than usual of wheat, oats, barley and flax, all of wh'ch was harvested and threshed in perfect order. Not only was the av erage yield excellent over the entire country, but the quality was of the highest standard. Without going into figures, it is sufficient to say that wheat graded almost universally very near the top. Reports are to hand showing yields of wheat from many fields which averaged forty bushels per acre, and weighing 65 pounds to the measured bushel. Oats w r ere very heavy, running from fifty to one hun dred and fifteen bushels to the acre. Barley also was a very heavy yielder and kept up the reputation of Western Canada as a producer of that cereal. In many parts of the country the yield of flax exceeded the earlier expecta tions, but in other parts, there was some loss on account of winds blow ing off the boll. Hundreds of farm ers who have only been in the country three er four years, with but little means when they arrived, will, out of the crop of this year, clean up all their indebtedness, and be able to put some thing aside for further improvements on their farms and homes which are now freed of incumbrance. The writ er has just heard of the experience of a man in the Battleford district that is worth repeating. He w r ent to the district seven or eight years ago, with no money, worked for a time, got a team of horses, did some freighting and homesteaded a quarter section of land. He now owns 480 acres of land, clear of all incumbrances, and has wheat, oats, barley and hay, as well as a good number of horses, cattle and hogs, feeding rough grain to the stock. He is a firm believer in mixed farming. The fifty dollars that he first earned in the countiy has now increased to $25,000. He has never had a crop failure. Instances of this kind could bo repeated over and over again. There is a Dane, named Key, east of Saskatoon, wljose oats this year went 110 bushels to the acre, and his wheat 40 bushels. He has paid off the mortgage on his farm, and now contemplates a trip to Denmark, to visit his old home. He has no more cares or worries, but is anxious to have more of his people settle in that part. It is not only the farmer with limited means and small area of land who is doing well, and has done won derfully in Western Canada this year, but the man with means, the man who is able to conduct successful farming on a large scale and many opportuni ties offer for such in Western Canada, also has increased his bank account handsomely. A farmer in Southern Alberta raised 350,000 bushels of grain in 1913, and made almost a fortune out of it. In Saskatchewan and in Manitoba is to be heard the same story of what has been done by the farmer working a large area, which he is able to do successfully, by the use of improved farm machinery, en abling him to cut hundreds of acres a day, and plow the land immediately with large traction outfits. No better recommendation could be given the country than the fact that during the past year, upwards of 400,000 settlers arrived in Canada, the greater num ber of whom went to the farm. There are still many thousands of home steads still available, capable of pro ducing such crops and maintaining herds as has made rich men out of the thousands whose experiences could be reproduced were it neces sary.—Advertisement.

Gratitude given or received is one of the best things in the world. We need far more of it and far better qual ity. Yet I have never read any satis factory account of what it so glorious ly means. Its value begins just where the value of pay ends. Thanks are personal, and attempt to fit an ade quate response to the particular serv ice performed. Pay is an impersonal coin which has been handed out to many before it reaches you, and will go to many others when it leaves you. It is your right and you are not grate ful for it. But thanks are a free gift and 1 enrich the giver. There is no nobler art than the art of expressing one’s gratitude in fresh, unhackneyed, unexaggerated terms which answer devotion with fresh devotion, fancy with new fancy, charity with sincer ity. Artists who get their reward only in money and in the stale plaud its of clapping hands are restless for something more individual. They want to be intimately understood and beautifully answered. For such grati tude they look to brother artists, to the few who really understand. There they find their best reward —but even this leaves something wanting.—The Atlantic. A CLERGYMAN’S TESTIMONY.
