TO UK CONTINUED Paris. â€" Chanel yesterday launch- ed her winter collection in a inod ern vein, wholly charniin;? in its yout'hful lines of extreme elegance, with many afternoon models and colorful velvets. The modern .^lant is evident in the iiTcgular shoulder harness and sidej sash bows, and also in the pleated j and shirred flouncinjrs on evening] skirts attached on liiaKonal lines across the skirts and below the fit- ted hips. Prominent amon;j the town suits and dresses is a whole series of black and deep blue velvet and ver- tically ridg;ed satin crepe for after- noon in simple belled coats with a band of white at the neck and wrists and small matching hats. It is noticeable that hats in the color of their po.stillion origin are turned up at tlie sides and made of the same material as the sports suits with short coats, belted and much pocketed. All these are the nomal development of regular Chanel lines and details. At Marcel Roehas the big note is a short winter coat which will take the place of the full length and three-quarter length. These, in wasp waist cut with shoulder gath- C"s at the sleeve top, are remini- scent of 'OO's styles but are pro- claimed ultra modern by Rochas. The delightful collection of these town and afternoon suits are much trimmed with passementeries, loop- ed velvet fringes, bands of ribbon and velvet, puffed material and quantities of furs made up with cloth. These coats range from hip length to three-quarters, widely basqued and many with contrasting fur sleeves and yokes or backs of fur. Dolman coat for young women appear with pointed cape-like backs, trimmed in rows of fringes. The skirts are straight and narrow. Evening dresses are simple and tight, with .slight bell skirts. The latest blouse here is a musseline to match the skirt but lined with pale silk and much trimmed. UKAI, nilMOR IS FOUND IN "I'KKSONAL ((UJIMNS* Paris French newspapers do not i;o in for advice to the lovelorn eol- ums, but all sorts of valuable in- formation can be gleaned from head- ing the ailverlisemcnts. which they term "little announcements." The morning paper, Ocuvrc, has list printed the following notice: "A gentleiiian who is divorced will ( xchange a Siberian fox-fur, which was used by his ex- wife, but still has all the hairs, for an e!ectrio vacuum cleaner." Mr, Clemeii'.ine Toovey, seventy- (M.';lit-year-old baker, of Aniersham (Iliicks), uses a goltl watch 253 yeais old which belonged to his [;rcat-great-!viandfather.

Taught Indians Art O f Home-Making Missionary's Wife Recalls E:x- pLMieiices On Reserve 25 Years As^o Mrs. Maclean, wife of the well- known missionary, I)i-. John Maclean, is the subject of an interview in The Winnipeg Tribune by Lillian Gib- bons, in a series ai'ticles on noted women. Mrs. Maclean worked with lier husband in the mission at McLeod. Alta., 2.") years ago. Two years after their anival there the Blood Indians of the Blackfoot tribe were put on- to tlie Hlood Indian Reserve at Old Man River. The Dominion goverii- mont had just finished surveying the reserve, and the Indians were being ppisuaded to change their roaming life for one of domesticity. The Mac- leans learned tlieir language, and tried to teach them the Gospel story. Mrs. Maclean interested the In- dian women in sewing. She wrote to her friends down Kast asking for calico, iirint, scissors, needles and "the biggest thimbles you can buy." "Why the biggest? Because tho wo- men did all the work, putting up tents and taking theiii down, cutting wood, and so forth, and their hands were as wide as men's. The men (lei)rned only to hunt." When the thimbles arrived, the women were glad enough to wear thcni, awkward though they felt, be- cause they pricked their fingers on the print on which they were un- used to sew. Cooking also attracted the Indian women, who stood in the doorway of Mrs. Maclean's kitchen to watch her use spices. Salt they had seen, but not pepper. Pie was something new to them, and when she actually gave them a taste, their eyes rolled! Bui cooking was restricted in the early days. Prices were exorbitant: Eggs cost $7 a dozen in summer and $2 in winter, a sack of sugar was $r>0 â€" so "we gave up eating sugar," said Mrs. Maclean. Butter was 50c in suinmer and Jl a pound in winter. Potatoes were $7 for a lOO-pound sack, and even onions 50c a p.umd. Stops 'Hopper Plague Hrandon, Man. â€" A plague of grasshoppers was expected in the West this year, but did not develop. Dr, R. D. Bird, Dominion Kiitom- ologist, said the eggs of the hoppers rutted in tho gruiiiid, attacked by a disease l)rou;cht on by rain and cool weather. A little girl was taken to see a garden. It was gorgeous in its way, and people came to look at it from near and far. Flowers grew so thick there was no room or .so much as a stick among them. Purple, pink and blue, red, yellow and white lilossoms bank- ed around a small pool mane one's optic nerves whirl, and the child clapped her hands wth delight. "Isn't it beautiful!" she cried. "Oh, iTiother, I wish we could have a garden like that." Her mother said nothing, but in- stinctively her eyes sought the house standing back stark and unadorned like a sacrificial parent who has put all she had on her child and stepped shabbily away from observation. A few listless bushes were grow- ing beside the porch as though some one in a spirit of pity had remem- bered an alms. CONTRAST IN GARDENS "It is very exciting, isn't it," she answered finally. "Yes, color is a lovely thing. The only thing that seems to be left out is the house â€" and some green. There are too many flowers for leaves even." A few miles away was another garden, larger, older and tradition- al. It had been so long on view it was almost forgotten. The child did not clap her hands as they entered through a wicket in a box hedge. Here was enclosed lawns with irregular borders, low walls and steps to different levels, a hundred varieties of shrubs, flow- ers laid down as though nature had put them there naturally, where they should belong. The oniy con- cession to formality was a long avenue of heliotrope so blue it seem- as though part of the sky had fallen, an accent note to bring out the soothing beauty of the place. Here and there a jet of water splashed softly from a well. "Let us sit on this stone bench under the evergreen trees. We won't talk â€" just look." RECOGNITION OF BEAUTY Finally the child sighed "I would like to stay here forever, motner. I guess this is the place where the fairies live. It doen't seem real. Oh, there's a yellow bird eating lit- tle berries off that bush." "That is why these bushes were planted â€" to draw birds, dear. And the garden was made for people to rest in and to be peaceful and happy and think of â€" of fairies. The long- er you stay, the better you like it. Does it make you think of anything, Mary?" "Maybe." Mary studied, "a little hit like our garden at home. t)nly ours is so little." "Thank you," said her mother. "That is the best compliment I ever had. Yes, if I had money my gar- den wouhl be big and beautiful like this one." Her mother smiled at her percep- tion. Mary did not know it, but she was getting a splendid lesson in good taste."

CLAIR (Graphologist) All Rights Reserved. Many letters recetnly have enquir- ed tor some additional facts about Graphology and why« it reveals character from handwriting. So in the next one or two articles, at least, I am going further into this angle. When we receive a letter from a friend it is not necessary to open it in order to know from whom it comes. A glance at the writing on the envelope is usually sufficient. The style tells us at once who the writer is. We recognise the writer by his penmanship as readily as we would by his voice. This shows us very convincingly that there must be some sort of con- nection between the style of hand- writing and the personality of the writer. Another familiar evidence of this is the fact that no two persons write exactly alike, notwithstanding that hundreds of thousands of us learned to write from the same copybook and were taught to form our letters in precisely the same way. Now if handwriting bore no re- lationship to personality and was not influenced by the character of the individual, we would all be writ- ting the beautiful Spencerian cop- per-plate we were taught at school. But as it is, not one in fifty thous- and writes in this manner five years after leaving school! Each one of us has modified the copybook style in accordance with his individual character. Each one has unconsciously adopted a style of writing that is best suited to his tastes and inclinations,, and has consequently given to it a distinct- ive character. Like speech or gesture, writing serves as a means for the expression of thought, and in expressing our thoughts we give expression to our- selves. When once the art of writing is learned we are no longer conscious of the mental and manual effort re- quired to form the letters them- selves. It becomes, as it were, sec- ond nature to us. It is plain, therefore, that a per- son's handwriting is really a part of himself. It is an expression of his personality and is as characteristic of him as the way he walks or the tone of his voice. Of course, the style of handwrit- ing does not in every case reinain the same throughout the life of a man or woman. A man at fifty may not write the same hand that he did when he was 18 or 20, and if he lives to be 80 or 90 it will, in all probability, show further indicat- ions of change. This fact merely emphasizes the relationship between handwriting and personality; for it will always be found that where there is a change of style in a per- son's writing there is also a cor- responding change in the person himself. After all, there are few of us who retain the same character, disposition and nature that we had in youth. Experience and vicissitud- es do much to modify our tempera- ments, and with such modifications come alterations in our handwriting. In some people the change in very slight, while in others it is very noticeable. It is only necessary to add the very careful and scientific investiga- tion has conclusively shown that there is a direct connection between the various features of a particular handwriting and the character of the writer. It has clearly demon- strated that one's nature and dis- position may be accurately gauged by one's handwriting. Would YOU like to know the truth about yourself? Do you wish to know what your friends are really like? Send specimens of the handwritings you want analysing, stating age in each case.

QUEER WORLD .\ "truth serum,'" which makes it almost impossible for criminals to tell lies when being questioned, is claimed to have been perfected by Ml-.

He then begins to talk freely â€" and truthfully. Spiders that live under water must tiav" air, and so a wonderful diving bell is constructed.
