Indeed, "swimming's the thing" these days almost ev erywhere. And it's so much easier to swim in a Jantzen . . warm, snug, flexible. Youll marvel at the matchless . . . wrinkleless fit. Jantzen material, consisting entirely of long-fibred wool, is tightly knitted by a process called Jantzen-stitch. It is ex tremely elastic. And Jantzen's system of sizing by weight assures you the right size to start with. We have all the popular colors and styles in every size. And being dyed-in-the-wool,they 're color fast.

Great Er'Ur, 'Vagi-cat! by Instinct Miss Tldswt'll. the UUuWs benefit' Kir of the youthful Edmund Kenn, taught him to recite, and read SnaKespeare to htm. But even kindness and com fort could not ease his hectic spirit. Occasionally he would break his bonds and run away to sleep' in barns, to haunt wayside Inns Imitating imps and apes, tumbling, dancing, reciting, and singing for his bread and butter. That Miss Tldswell locked him in his bedroom with his schoolbooks made but little difference: he would wriggle down the water pipe at his window to wander for days, restless and uncontrollable as an alley cat Even the device of welding on his neck a brass collar Inscribed "This boy belongs to Number 9 Leicester square. Tlease send him home," had no effect j covering the fetter with his kerchief he defied detection and was happy. ' The Door little devil wns used to shackles; when he was scarce more than a baby his reprobate father, de ciding that Edmund's scandalously bowed toes should be straightened, clnmped them into Iron braces and In this state of torture sent him to lodge with some humble acquaintance In Soho a Mr. and Mrs. Duncan. Playing the grand Inquisitor did not greatly nppeal to Mr. Duncan. It dis turbed his slumbers after his "four ale" at the neighborhood pub. He complained: "He used to sleep with me and my wife In his Irons, and they hurt us." Live Comfortably in Canadian Sod Houses The traveler In the Canadian prov inces of Saskatchewan and Alberta Is astonished at the great number of sod houses scattered throughout the prairie farming district. These do not occur In the vicinity of the towns, but are out about ten miles or more. One might suppose that such rude struc tures were the result of poverty. On the contrary, the sod houses denote advancing prosperity. When the homesteader takes up a section of wheat land In western Can; ada he plants his crop at the earliest possible moment In order that he may not miss a harvest Often he Is occu pied to such an extent with these ag ricultural operations that he neglects his dwelling house and hurriedly thrnwa tncetlipr n rude mnkPHllift of sod. Even though It were desired'to erect a frame house, this could bo done only with great difficulty because of the scarcity of lumber. It is far better to live In temporary quarters until the railroad pushes out Into that territory and brings the comforts ol civilization. However, these sod houses are by no means uncomfort able, for they are wonderfully cool In summer and correspondingly warm In winter. Finishing Sealskin Natural sealskin Is so heavy and salt-Impregnated, so thick, greasy and coarse-haired, that no woman would care to wear the fur until It had been properly dressed. It requires a num ber of operations to finish the raw skins. They are washed, dried, cleaned with oil-soaked sawdust and skived to one-third of their original thickness. The skiving requires the most sensitive touch, as the knives must go deep enough to loosen the roots of the stiff hairs but must not touch the roots of the fur Itself. When the bristles are loosened the skins are turned over and the bristles are rubbed out. The skins then go to the hot rooms, where the fur side Is ex posed to blasts of hot air. The last operation is the dyeing that gives the fur Its characteristic color, unlike ordinary things, sealskin is colored by being painted with coat after coat cf dye, put on with a brush.
