Women as Jndges.

ts Color Critics They Say Diamend Dyes are che Best in the World

-_—-

Asa rule women sre by far the best judges of colors. Their vast experience ‘pn the innumerable shades and tints brought out by European professione! dvers in drees febrice, ribbons, silke, trimmings and gloves, give them a know. ledge and advantage ix colors that few men poseces. :

As color critice and judges, the women of al) civilized lands bave long ago made Diamond Dyes the pop» lar bome favorites for the coloring ef al! faded and dingy jooking germentes and febrics of wool, silk or cotton.

Everywhere, intelligent and economical women, after thorough teste and trials, have found Diamond Dyes to give the richest, fullest aod mort lasting culere— eolors that for brilliancy and curability, surpass the best efforts of professiona| dyers,

To secure ease, comfort and perfect euc- cese in home dying, the Diamond Dyes should be used at ol! times,

Werking on the great ruptation of Dia mond Dyes, some upscr pulous people are niting up imitation dyes in packets. Bach dyes area source cf danger to the dyer aod the materials to be colored. See that each paaket of dye purchased has the name “Diamond.”

LETTER FROM SOUTH AFRIOA. |

Mr. B, W, Bowness Writes a Char- lottetown Friend,

Writing from Belmont on the 23rd Deeember toa friend in Charlottetown, Mre EK. W. Bowness says :

. cy eee As a rule we don’t

have much time to write eut bere, but as our company was doing outpost duty last nigaton a kepje near the Orange Free State border we have today off duty, #0 a6 to sleep, aad I am using some of the time (o anewer a few letters.

Although our voyage out was fairly pleasant, at times i¢ became monetonous and we were all glud to get on land again at Cape Town. It is a fine city, and the few days we epent there were worth going a few thousaad miles for. The send eff» we got in @anads were a!] very tiee; but Cape Town eclipsed them all. Every body seemed to be trying to eee who could do most for ‘**‘Good Old Canada” as they used tesay. Besides the regular popula- tion of about 75,000 the city was full of troops, and the cheering was esraplitting as we passed partof ibe Scotch Brigade opposite the Canadian Office.

Since leaving the Cape, however, we have been getticg nearer the terrible re- alities of war, until pow we are buta f-w miles from the front and we hope betore you get this to have a chance te do some- tming tothe Boers. Taney are cowaruly cure and don’t like to come out of their mountain trenches to fight in the open; but we expect the big naval guns up after Christmas to ehell their trenches, and then the infantry and cavalry hope to settle up some old scores The Scotch Brigade can hardly keep quiet uatil the time comes. We Canadians have not had any general engagement yet. Butthis is an important place and liable to be at- tacked by raiding parties of Free Stat- ers. So we are always usder arms, Every night we sleep with all our clothes on, our rifle by ourside and a cartridge belt fora piliow. Then we turn out at} 3.30 p.m. and liein our trenches until } dawn. Our patrols often encounter stray parties of Boers sneaking back to ftker homes at the cape. But they don’t show mach fight and a rifle pointed at Mr. Boer generally$brings his bands above hie head aod makes him qaite willing to“come imo our parlor” like the fly we read about.

Afew nights agoa purty of us were on the patrol on the Free State border, And lost our way. We mutt bave wandered ten miles before tbe moou came up bright enough ferus to fiod our way back to the picket. At one timea party of Boer horsemen passed so close that we could hear their voices. We were in adry river bed at the time and lay low so they could not see us. If they had we would likely be prisoners now.

Report says here that Kruger has offer- ed £50 reward for every Canadian dead or alive., so we don’t fancy being cap- tured:

Themore I see of Tommy Atkins the more think of him. Heis ae good a fellow asovr triend Kipling says he ie, I believe tha: if we had the Boer positien- all the “cabbage-eaiers”’ in Africa coula not take them. If vou saw their positions bere you w. uli wonder hew on earth our fellows drove them ont.

On the plains below the hills are the British graves,and strewn al! over are the bodies ofthe Boers and horses. After the oattle the Boera fled so suddenly that ] they did not stay to bury their dead.

We areal! well andin the best of spirits. Everything so far has been a great deal better thanI expscted. Tae heat is ,terrible—to-day is 120 in the shade.

The boyswhe have left Canadu have all grown beards and would be unre- cognizable to their frie nde.

Feeling the responsibility of bundling euch a fuud, Miss Gould recent- ly requesied Messre. E. Goff Penny, M. P., and Hugh Graham, and Dr. Roddick, M.

toued in the various hospitals con- nected with tbe South African cam- piign.

With reference to the chain-letters
