NEWPORT SOCIAL INSURGENT
During the past season there has
been Insurgency !n the ranks of New
port swelldom which started a near
panic in the ranks of the “old guard.”
The leader of the social insurgents
was Mrs John R. Drexel. who is here
■ r tured. and the captain of the
standpatters was Mrs Ogden Mills.
New port is to select society what
Mecca is to the Mahommedans. or
ilecares to the Hindus, or Jerusalem
to the Jew and to the Christian—the
holy of holies of the idle rich, whose
blbie is the social register duly
•tamped with the dollar mark. Mrs.
Drexel would widen the ranks of the
select and admit many now barred
from the social paradise, where nobles
with decayed fortunes matrimonially
browse Mrs. Mills would none of
this. She stands for a close cprpora
t:on. so to speak, and would limit to
100 ot even fewer those who would
tie entitled to enter the elect set of
Newport.

CHILD’S SIMPl E FROCK
This pretty frock is of gray blue
cashmere embroidered in the same
shade. The w aist is finished across the
front with a band of maderia embroid
ery on linen, of which tbe shoulder
collar is also made.
This last is placed over a collar
of black satin, bands cf which finish

Making a Pillow Cover Fit.
The cover of a sofa pillow can be
made to fit well by the following little
trick: After sewing up three sides
but before turning the cover right side
out. tack the two finished corners of
the case securely to two corners of
the pillow-. Turn the case over the !
pillow. Sew’ up the fourth side for an
inch or two ct each end Tack these
two corners to the corresponding cor
ners of the cushion Finish as usual.
This keeps the pillow from pulling
and sagging away from the cover.—
Hous keeper.
Detachable Flower.
It must have been the girl of small
allowance who invented the detach
able flower for her hat. Trimminj
the winter's chapeaux is so simple
thst it is an easy matter to whisk
off one flower and put on another to
match the next costume worn.
Velvet polnsettias are a favorite
flower on winter hats for those who I
can stand the vivid red so dose to the j
face.
Another popular flower is huge vel- i
vet roses in rich dull tones A new
idea is to outline the edges of these
roses with tiny beads to correspond
to the color of the costume worn
Instead of sewing on the detach
able roses each time, they are pro
vided with tiny safety pins on tbe
under side, which are quickly adjusted
to tbe trimming.
Taffeta Jackets.
Little coats or Jackets of change
able taffetas are worn with voile or

URGENT ?:EED FOR A NAME j
If the Bisected Skirt Is to Be Gen
erally Worn Let It Have Femi
nine Appellation.
j
It Is thought by some in Germany
that the name "harem skirt” or more
horrible still “trouser skirl” Is the
only thing that prevents the spread
and general use of this much talked of
article of wearing apparel. So these
same people have offered a prize for
the best names and have hit up "Ama
zon" and “cavalier" skirt as a result,
and hope by keeping these more allur
ing titles before the feminine public to
popularize the garment. Not that it
needs so much to be popularized, they
say. The leading German shops ad
vertise it in bewildering variety, and
privately claim that orders are pour
ing in to a degree which shows tbaL I
like other extreme modes gone be- '
fore, the trousers—er. that is. the j
cavalier skirt—is sure to conquer in !
the end But if the more timid fol- ‘
lower of fashion buys one. and keeps
it hanging in her closet to gaze upon t
with awe and admiration, yet is afraid
to wear a "trouser” skirt upon the ;
street, by all means let us christen It .
with something softer and more fern!- j
nine.
DRESSES FOR EVENING WEAR
—
Slight Change in Styles Will Be Noted ■
4 in the Coming Season’s
Garments.
An unusually decollete neck finish, j
extremely short sleeves and an itregu- 1
lar-abaped train inclined to shortness
are features having a bearing on the
new evening gowns for fall and win
ter. Lace plays a large park both as \
a foundation material and for trim
ming purposea. every variety being
used, no matter what the texture or
pattern. Allover designs or robe
gowns are used as an underbody, in
which case the filmy draperies par
also used for draping oyer soft fin- j
tially conceal the pattern. They are j
ished silks, crepes and satina. and in
these instances usually are cut In ore I
with the waist. Some of the newest?, j
models show the allover lace exten- j
sion below the waist line In cutaway I
coat effect, Cltoyenne frill or pepltim.
In some Instances the pointed effect
is made in the front, with tapering
lines cutting off to the waist In the j
back.—Dry Goods Economist
Dainty Fichu.
The fichu drapery of the bodice is
being used for evening and even for
afternoon wear, with the V-shaped
opening at the neck. Fine and deli
cate lace is being taken out of its se
clusion. and those who are lucky
enough to possess a lawn fichu sewn
with Ayrshire embroidery are to be
congratulated.
Happily, tfce fichu suits all wearers. !

of wearing this most graceful acces
sory.
Large Ravers Popular.
The use of the large collar is no
doubt responsible for the popularity
of the large revere Some are long
and narrow, coming <gown below the
waist line Others are square and a
few round.
In a certain number of cases the
coats are made with a single rever
on one side and double re vers are
seen In some instances The long
shawl collars are again meeting with

CANADA’S * IMMENSE1
WHEAT FIELDS

■
THE ATTRACTION FOR THREE
TRANSCONTINENTAL RAIL
WAYS.
Last August there visited the Cana
dian west the vice-president of the
largest individual hardware company
in the United States. As his firm have
a turnover of millions, and deals ex
tensively with farm implements, this
man took a deep interest in crop con
ditions in Canada, and on his return
he embodied his findings in an article
for the Hardware Reporter. This ar
ticle should be of special interest to
farmers.
The writer speaks of the importance
of the spring wheat crop of Western
Canada. He might also have spoken
of the importance of the cat crop ar.d
also of the winter wheat crop, as well
as barley. Winter wheat during the
past few years has been a great suc
cess, and experiments have shown
that it can be grown with success in
almost any portion of the three prov
inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta. But apart from this, the
spring wheat crop is the one generally
grown, and all who know anything of
grain, anyone who has had anything
to do with markets, knows or has
heard of the high character of this
cereal and the splendid yields that are
annually produced. Reproducing from
this article:—
“In a land of such great sweep, and
of such difference in soil and climate,
there are many resources, but none
are at present of the same overwhelm
ing importance as the spring wheat
egop. In' the interminable prairie
stretches of the northwest provinces ‘
it is the one absorbing topic of inter
est and of conversation during its
growing and its harvesting, for upon
its success or failure hangs the weal i
or woe of a large part of the Domin-!
ion. Its influence extends far down j
into the United States, drawing thou- i
sands of farmers northwards with the '
lure of cheap lands, but likewise be- j
yond the great lakes, even to the easy
going maritime provinces, calling the 1
flower of their young men to its op
portunities. Development in these
prairie provinces goes on at high pres- ;
sure for everything hangs on the out
come of spring wheat. Success has
emboldened the raisers of this one all
important crop, and each year there
is further incursion into those north
ern fields that only a short time ago
were regarded as Arctic wastes. The
Canadian Northwest seems to be one •
of those modern agricultural examples
set forth to drive the final nail in the
coffin of that ancient Malthusian de
lusion that population tends to outrun
the means of subsistence, sines the
only fear now among Canadian econ
omists is as to the danger of over
stocking the wheat market. Only
about two and one-half per cent of
possible arable lands in the northwest
provinces is now under cultivation,
and this year the crop promises to
be close to 200,000,000 bushels, so
that your Imagination and your arith
metic can easily supply the answer as
to the possible or even probable out
come.”
During the months of July and Au
gust the weather was unfavourable
and the production of a 200 million
yield of wheat will not likely be real
ized, but even with this, the threshing
reports coming to hand show that the
crop will be a splendidly paying one.
Toasting the Teachers.
There was a meeting of the new
teachers and the old. It was a sort of
love feast, reception or whatever you
call it Anyhow, all the teachers got
together and pretended they didn't
have a care in the world. After the
eats were et the symposiarcb proposed
a toast:
''Long Live Our Teachers!”
it was drank enthusiastically. One
of the new teachers was called on to
respond. He modestly accepted His
answer was:
