In the pic ture it is shown made of serge in a small shepherd check, exquisitely tailored, and Is as crisp and snappy as a military uniform—never was any thing better suited to the American girl. In every particular this middy suit deserve* to be accepted as a criterion tn measure others by. All we ask of our old favorites is that there shall be something new alwiut them, some little cleverness or originality in their composition or their decoration, or in the materials used, or In the ways of using those we have long known. And. now the new fall blouses are allowing Just how well they can more than All our expecta tions. They are made of georgette, I Ottawa, Ont., Oct. 8.— (A. P.) — Canada has spent over $84,000,000 in the establishment of returned sol diers on the land. This figure repre sents over 27,000 individual ex-ser vice I men who have benefited from the law which had for its twin aims soldier re-establishment and the de velopment of the agricultural re sources of the dominion, ft repre sents 80 per cent of Canada's ex-ser vice men who have gone back to the land and 30 per cent of the men of the Canadian army who were demob ilized as physically fit. Under the law any ex-service man eligible from a military standpoint, having seen service overseas, may apply for loans up to a maximum of $7,500 for the following purposes: For the purchase of land, $4,500; for stock and equipment, $2,000; for permanent improvements $1,000. If on encumbered land, the ex-soldier is entitled to loans amounting to $5,000; if on free dominion land, to loans amounting to $3,000. Jn the case of purchased land the settler must pay 10 per cent of the cost price of the land as a guarantee of good faith. These benefits are open to men of the Canadian expeditionary forces, to ex-service men of Great Britain, the dominions and the allied forces, who lived in Canada prior to the war, and to ex-service men of the Imperial or dominion forces forces, if on their ar rival in Canad they spend a sufficient time to gain practical agricultural experience on Canadian farms. The imperials, however, are required to pay 20 per cent of .the expenditures for all purposes cash down. In addition to the loan advantages which a soldier settler has, the board secures for him very favorable ar rangements with regard to the pur chase of his stock and equipment, machinery manufacturers, crepe de chine, velvet, cheviot, and their company are the perennial sheer cottons that we have always with us. They are endlessly varied. by co»* (dilations of materials and colors, by new garnitures and by little original touches in the management of collars, belts, lines and trimmings. Among tailored blouses, crepe de chine appears to be a favored fabric. Some of the new ’ models are high- necked. Narrow frills of the mate rial make an effective finish for them, but there are many other ways of trim ming them. The tie-back style reap- pears with Its elongated waist line and sash ends. It Is handsome In dark velvet, lined with contrasting silk that allows through cut-out slashes bound with the same silk. Velvet overblouses with short peplums cut without sleeves and worn over georgette un derblouses. are hamlaotne and dressy. They ure usually decorated with silk embroidery. Georgette and velvet are chosen for the most elaborate models while crepe d* chine lends itself to I plainer but not leas distinguished styles. lumber dealers, harness and wagon makers give special prices to soldier settlers, in some cases, amounting to a reduction of 30 per cent. In the purchase of equipment, the board has effected a saving of $886.894. It also has saved the settlers large sums in land purchase. No intermedi ary is permitted to take a rake-off on soldier farms; the land is bought direct from the owner. The most important advantage, however, is the supervision which the board gives to its settlers, It ad- vises him ,in all his operations until satisfied that he is doing well and in a postion to carry on wthout as sistance. It buys only what he needs, not what he wants, in this way curb ing his propensity for rash buying, This great reestablishment scheme which It is claimed is unrivaled In the world is administered by a board of three: Major John Barnett, Major E. J. Ashton, and Samuel Maher. The head offee is at Ottawa and district office« are established In every pro- vfnee. 1 SKIRT BER BANK Woman Produces $1,100 From Gar- ment’s Hem to Buy 8tock. 8. II.

Divorce is within the reach of nil In Switzerland, writes S. J. Jeunlngs in the London Daily News, uad the facil ities are used to a considerable extent. About 700 civil marriage» take place In Geneva each year, aud there are about 140 divorces. Divorce procedure is comparatively simple. It is necessary to go to a law yer, who prepares the case and brings it in the first inatunce before the Court of Conciliation. The purties appear privately before this court, and the judge endeavors to persuade them to renounce their intention and live ami cably together. If he does not succeed the lawyer proceeds to collect evi dence, and the mutter comes again be fore the court after a lui*e of three months. The witnesses an- heard iu pri vate, but the lawyers' pleading* take place before the public court known as the Tribunal de Ire Instance. Alto gether, divorce proceedings usually tuke about a year. There are a large number of ¡<oa- slble reasons fur the granting of di vorce, but in probably 30 per cent of the case» the reason given Is Incom patibility of temperament, or as it is put. In a term of rutber wider signifi cance, "hicomputlbilite des moeurs.” Tills plea Is, of course, a very con venient one and saves much washing of dirty linen, tiesides the fact that the cause which In Englnnd constitutes the most potent piea for divorce Is In certain cantons of Switzerland a crim* Inal offense. Tlie cost of divorce proceedings in Switzerland Is never prohibitive. Di vorce is available to the (siorest. Ao cording to the Swiss Constitution, no citizen Is allowed to suffer by reaiag} of the fnrt that he Is too poor to In voke the law, and If be proves inability to pay for legal representation, ids costs are paid from u fund raised un der a tax known us the "Droit dee pauvri-s” (Right of tlie Poor). The cost of divorce, however, depends on cir cumstances, and witnesses are soino times puld considerable sums to give evidence. Nevertheless, fiersoiiN of smull mentis who agree to seek divorce und have no children to complicate the situation, may hope to obtain their do- sire for a mutter of, say, £12. HITS AT AMERICAN SPELLING Australian Judge la, However, Not Supported by 8chool Authorities. Sir Adrian Knox, chief justice of the High court of Australia, 'Iocs not approve the American method of spelling several words.

Having pointed to the spelling of “centre" as “center," his honor hoped this method of orthography was not taught In the schools. "This Is an Americanism I abhor,” he added.
