SOCIETY AND THE HOME CANADIAN WOMEN'S GIFT FOR WOUNDED Fund Raised by the Canadian Women Will be Used to Build Hospital. The efforts of Canadian women: at the outbreak of war to raise a fund to provide hospital accommodation for the wounded has resulted in the building of a fine new wing at one of the large British hospitals. It will be remembered that shortly after war began, Canadian women in practically every city united in collecting money for a fund to equip a hospital ship or building.

A sum well over $200,000 was raised and this was placed at the disposal of the Imperial Government for the pose of providing accommodation for the wounded. Increased accommodation has been very much needed at the Royal Naval Hospital at Haslar, opposite Portsmouth, and the Government has allowed $150,000 of this fund for the construction of a new wing at this hospital. This wing when completed will be known as the Canadian's Women's Wing, and will stand as a monument to Canada's devotion tto the Motherland. It will also be a testimonial to the enthusiasm and energy of Canadian women, who, in their love of country, have worked with never-failing courage ever since the early days of the war. A correspondent writing from London gives a good description of the new wing: "Primarily the new wing will be housing the hospital utilized, fore present time the staff, numbering some 250, is accommodated in the wards, thus occupying space originally intended for sick and wounded.

When the new wing is complete these beds will revert to their original purpose, SO that the effects of the Canadian women's generosity will be that at least 250 more sick or wounded will be able to receive treatment at the institution, where every modern requirement that medical research has made possible is provided for those brave fellows who fall sick or injured in the empire's cause. "The new block is being built on one of the finest sites possible. It is situated on the spare ground to the southeast of the main hospital and overlooks Spithead with the lovely foliage tints of the Isle of Wight in the background. It isolated main and willistand will be constructed of red brick with stone facings in harmony with the surrounding erections. On the main front wall will appear in large black lettering on a foundation of white stone the words "Canadian Women's Wing, 1915." This stone has already been prepared, and at the present time occupies a prominent position to the east of the chief hospital entrance--a reminder to every visitor of the practical loyalty of British womenfolk across the seas.

The new building will be isolated from the other parts of the and will be in every way self-contained. The health of a hospital staff is of course a most essential factor in the efficiency of an institution of this 1m- portant character, and in the new block every provision will be made for the proper recreation and equipment of those whose duty it is to minister to the needs of the men whose unfortunate lot it is to have fallen under the stress and strain which the exigencies of modern naval service exact from every member, from the highest officer the latest boy recruit. "Within the three storeys of the new building there will be provided ample dining-room and recreationroom accommodations, together with a well -equipped gymnasium, while the sleeping quarters will be based on the most modern hygienic principle. It will have its own kitchen, and in the front there will be a magnificent view of the picturesque waterways of the Solent. "It will be seen therefore that when this fine new block is completed the efficiency of the hospital will be enhanced, for while at the present time no expense is spared to introduce the latest achievements of medical skill to hasten the recovery of the sufferers who use its wards, progress has been somewhat hampered by the much-felt need which the Canadian women have so kindly fulfilled.

"The completion of the new building will be hurried forward with all despatch, and it is hoped to have it completed during the present year. It is anticipated that there will be a ceremonial opening, but that of course will entirely depend upon the progress of events. "In the drawing up of the designs the admiralty have been closely consulted, and the result has been to provide a valuable addition to an institution which is one of the most efficient and commodious to be found anywhere in the country."

There was a very large attendance of children with their parents and friends. A pleasant day was spent with games and other amusements and a bountiful picnic supper was served. It was difficult to guess whether the audience at the Britannia High School or the pupils and friends of Miss Olive Morrow's school and kindergarten, which gave the programme, on behalf of the Grandview branch of the Red Cross Society on Wednesday evening, were the more delighted.

There was a wholeheartedness about the very artistic performance which was infectious, and TOURISTS It's chilly traveling; keep warm.

Once upon a time there was a dog by the name of Spot and he belonged to a boy named Frank.

Spot and Frank had a great many nice times together for Frank was very fond of Spot. Frank was given a camera, for his birthday, and when he received it he shouted: "Hurrah, rah, send it now to I can Uncle take Frank." Spot's His picture uncle and had given him the dog when it was a little puppy and Frank wanted his uncle to see how Spot had grown and what good care he had had. Frank got his camera and took Spot out into the yard, fixed him in a good pose and then started away to take the picture. He turned around, and there was Spot right behind him, wagging his tail. Again he posed the dog but Spot would not stay posed but followed Frank the minute he walked away.

Spot seemed to think it was some new game they were playing and jumped around and around, barking and wagging his tail in great delight. At last Frank got a little cross with Spot and speaking very sternly, told him to lie down. Spot put his head between his paws and looked quite Prof. Odlum, who acted as chairman, thoroughly entered into the spirit of the evening. The feature of the programme was a clever and pretty children's play--written by Miss Morrow, who herself played the part of the hunter with excellent effect, the first act of which was laid in a hunter's camp, and the second part in dreamland.

Both the youngsters and the several maidens who assisted them were happily cast. The play was staged. Several of the smallprettily, and notably one little boy, named Alan Bean, who played the dustman, were wonderfuyly good. In a miscellaneous programme which preceded the play, little Mary Reid, who won first prize for elocution among the juniors at the Lynn Valley Musical Festival--Miss Morrow herself won second prize there among the grown-up competitorsgave a selection from "Hamlet" with much ability; and other attractive items were a song by Mrs. Ivan Barbor, a violin solo by Miss K.

Hunter, and a ladies' quartette by Miss Cobbald, Mrs. Dawson, Miss Hunter and Mrs. Barton. Those taking part in the children's play were Dermot Fedden, Cora Miller, Lorna Barton, Bessie 'Hurst, Lily Fedden, Royland Hodgson, Jack Meek, Teddy Edmonds, Frank Rupert, Shellagh Fedden, Mary Reid, Elsie Reid, Margaret Sutherland, Marjory Hodgson, Joyce Barton, Nellie Fedden, Alan Bean and Miss Morrow. "The annual garden party of St.

Mark's W. A. will be held at Tatlow Park on Saturday afternoon and evening. Tea will be served during the afternoon and dinner at 6 o'clock. There will be games of many kinds, including tennis, bowling, etc.

Following the performance of Miss Adams at the Avenue Theatre last evening a number of the theatre parties went on to the Hotel Vancouver, where a very smart little supper and dance was held. Following their annual regatta on July 24 the Vancouver Rowing Club will hold a flannel dance in the club house at Stanley park. The West End Japanese Mission held its annual closing at the Mission on Wednesday evening. About forty or fifty children belonging to the Mission and a Bible class of fifteen young men took part in the closing. The building was prettily decorated with British and Japanese flags, and the friends of the Mission had provided refreshments.

Games and contests helped to pass a pleasant evening and after the sports the children with their parents and friends assembled before the Mission house, where a short programme was, given. Rev. C. Kennedy gave a short address in Japanese. The closing exercises were under the direction of Mrs.

Patrick, the superintendent. On Wednesday evening the young ladies who won the recent membership campaign for the Y. W. C. A.

The Prince Edward Island Association held its annual picnic at Second Beach yesterday afternoon. There was a large present and a very pleasant enjoyed by the number, former residents of the island. The members of the Brunswick Association B. held their annual picnic yesterday afternoon at Second Beach.

Stanley Grant, sober and was fairly still, so that Frank got a chance to quickly press the bulb of the camera and take his picture. Spot heard the click, jumped as though he had been shot, and ran as fast as he could for the house and crawled under the bed, and it was a long time before Frank could coax him to come out. Spot ran out into the yard and walked up to the camera which Frank had left on1 the grass. sniffed at it and walked carefully around it to see if he could make out what it was. Just then Frank called: "Spot, Spot," and Spot lifted up his head and started to walk toward his master.

As Spot started away he stepped on the bulb and snap went the camera. Frank went over to it, picked it up and said: "Spot, I do believe you have taken your own picture." Sure enough, Spot had stepped on the bulb just the right time and had taken a fine picture of himself, with his head lifted up just as he started to answer Frank's call. Frank's uncle laughed when he received the picture and wrote Frank that he knew Spot would grow to be a very smart dog, but he never expected that he would learn to be a photographer. ASI LADY Home-made brown bread, graham, oatmeal and rye are important articles of diet greatly relished by the ill. Melons act on kidneys and are good in many cases of fever, bowel complaint, etc.

Rice water and rice jelly are excellent in many cases of convalescence from acute fever, summer complaints and like diseases. Fresh nicely salted pop corn, clam broth, the juice of a nicely roasted oyster in the shell, soda water and peppermint tea are good remedies for a sick stomach. A rennet custard is a delicious dish and the recipe is usually on the bottle of liquid rennet. In quinsy, diphtheria, in flammation of the lungs, typhus and other putrid fevers, acids are a great benefit, such as a handful of dried currants over which a pint of boiling water is poured. Let them stand half a minute without stirring, then strain off the water, strain through a cloth and set away to cool.

When given to patients dilute well SO that the acid taste is very slight, and give early in the day. Mr. F. J. Collins, Mr.

The following exercises are not violent ones, but have been especially selected SO that a woman who is overweight may practise them. Their effect is far reaching; in fact, the whole system will be benefited if one will indulge in them at odd hours during the day.

Fresh air circulating in the room is important, for fat, like coal, requires oxygen to dissolve it. For the first exercise stand erect, one hand resting on hip. Then begin action by raising one arm overhead and describe a circle. This rotary movement should be continued in one direction until half a dozen circles have been described, then reverse the movement by swinging the arm in the opposite direction. That hand should then be lowered and the other arm raised.

I have given but twelve circles for each arm; this 1s enough to begin with, for the usual position in which the arm is held will bring into action muscles that have not been used much, and the result if overdone will be stiffness. In fact, in any exercise it is not wise to go to extremes. The position for the second exorcise, that of swaying, is the same as for the first, except that both hands rest on hips with fingers pointing in, and the eyes are closed. The object of closing the eyes is to prevent one from seeing how far one ig swaying. With the eyes closed one will sway more swiftly, which is just what is needed for the reduction of the hips.

One should not stop swaying even though the balance is temporarily lost, for the very fact that one does lose one's balance, is an indication that one is too stout. THE SAYS (GOON A A When washing cut glass ornaments or fine china, Cook always places a Turkish towel at the bottom of the bowl. She finds this very safe, as It prevents the articles from getting chipped by knocking against the bowl. To give cut glass a. very brilliant polish, wash it first in hot suds and then dip in cold water in which a handful of starch has been dissolved.

Allow the glases to drain before rubbing with a dry cloth. A spoonful of kerosene added to a kettle of very hot water will make windows, looking glasses and picture glasses bright and clear. Use a small, clean cloth, wring it dry and rub over the glass. Leave for a few moments and then wipe it dry with a large, clean cloth. No real polishing is required and the window or glass will look clean and shiny.

The bottom is a cardboard disc about eight inches in diameter, covered on one side with gay cretonne and on the other side with sateen of a light shade. The rest of the bag is shirred over a wire cylinder which has been previously covered with the sateen.

The top is a straight piece of the cretonne shirred around the top of the wire frame and gathered up with a silk cord the same shade as the sateen. On one side of the bag on the outside dangles a needle book covered, with real the puffy cretonne pincushion and on covered in the same way. Two (roomy pockets of the cretonne are shirred on the outside of the bag at the bottom and held snugly at the top by means of elastic run through a casing. The bag is a most commodious affair, and because of its wire construction is a boon to the woman who works in a hurry..
