FEMININE FASHIONS. BOLD CONTRASTS SANCTIONED BY FASHION. The struggle for supremacy between pale, neiatraj. tints and very bright colours still GOES on. Supreme efforts are being made to give prominence to prismatic hues, but it is doubtful if their advocates are discreet when they go to such extremes as to introduce alien. sJeeves—TARTAN velvet sleeves—in self- coloured frocks by no means guiltless of colour. We are inclined to shrink at first from these daring attempts to revolutionise our taste in dress. But this sense of revolt MAY be merely temporary. Apropos we may re-call what the rhymer Pope said about "Vice": — "Vice is a monster of such frightful mien, That to be hated needs but to be seen; But seen full oft familiar of face, We first endure, then pity, then embrace." If the above quotation is not strictly correct (and I am not sure that it is correct), it serves, ait least, to illustrate my meaning. At first we reject a very daring innovation when dress is in question; then we grow familiar with it, a.nd, perhaps, presently adopt it. Not always, of course, but often; occasionally Fashion has to meet us haM-way, AND, modifying her original intention, we consent thereto. It is certain th<a<t, after being long familiar with soft neutral coksura, we cannot fail to be astounded AIT the sight of a green frook, fitted with tartan, sleeves, or a red one similarly associated with tartan. Be that as it may, sracih bold oofnt/raste have already been sanctioned by Fashion. Most of us think these comibrimations ertremely Mzajre, and she is a bold woman—I mean a courageous woanan—who attempts to pioneer a. FASHION, so very pronounced. It must be ages ago, but quite wathin the memory of women still living, that etoeves differing from the dress were worn. Another fashion in sleeves has to be recorded. There ia a very marked tendency to return to sloping shoulders, when everyone supposed the sleeve that had oiunbed to the shoulders in one, or in a series of puffs, would be allowed to occupy that position for some time to ooane. But the cape-coat, now popular, CANNOT afford sufficient accommodation for puffed sleeves. A oape must be worn over sloping shoulders and sleeves which are not full at the top. However, it must not be assumed that the pretty sleeves we are wearing will be sum- -marily vanished. In these days we may wear what we please—within certain limits, of course—and we can hardly look back at sleeves bagging at the wrist—as worn three years back—without seeing that they were the outcome of sloping shoulders. The sleeves lately in fashion are more sensible, not to say artistic, than those they re-placed. The natural formation of the arm ought to be followed; it tapers from shoulder to wrist, and any reversal of this universal anatomical rule must necessarily look inar- tistic and clumsy. The very high collars now in vogue tend to accentuate the slope of the shoulders. Many collars are cut with acute points that do net end at the tip of the ear, but are carried past it, terminating at an appreciable distance above that limit—of course, at the back of the ear. "Under the chin collars reach to a height not altogether associated with comfort. SHAWIJS. It would be startling news if we heard that shawls were becoming fashionable. In a telWaltive way they are a.1ready fashionable. Last year, and again this winter, many wraps for wear when leaving places of enter- toimment were, and are, shawl-shape. In Paris such shawls are very popular, and, as it is the unexpected that happens, we may some day be startled by the return of the shawl for day wear. In that case, we must alter the fashion of our headgear; bonnets must come in, far halts and shawls aire quite incompatible. TEMPORARILY FORSAKEN. I must return to the subject of oolourk. Peacock blues and greens a/re, as I have mentioned before, being worn, but they are NOT good "oa-ndile-light'' colours (mea:niD4r, of course, EVENING colours). They look almost black under arbrficrail ligirt, while mole- cokxir uaider its influence brightens up sur- prisingly. Petunia is one of tthe vivid colours presently favoured, but it does not cordially ally itself to other colours. It is a. recluse, in fact, AND ALL the details of A petunia drees or costume must. be necur relations with reaped to colour. PIPING Jø visible on many new costumes. I have seen a dark grey tweed piped with red worn with a. grey velvet toque, trimmed oerise velvet. With, a.n eye to the future, one won- ders how that piping wall be removed, or if it will be worn to the "bditter end." It is unwise to make any dreæ or 005tœm.e designed for amative service with additions of this very pronounced kind. One gets heartily tired of them long before the dress is soiled or out of dote. Piping is not a detachable dctaiil; adjustwble colour departures are very soon disposed of when their presence wearies or offends. Colour repetitions do get on the nerves at times. I know tthat one of our most famous novelists changed her residence for no other reason thasi this—the presence of a postal pillar-bos. The sight of that red pillar became iratolenable. Loss highly-strung natures are not likely to comprehend the fetiling alluded to. That genius and irritable nerves go together as an indisputable fa<Clt. What less sensitive persons may coll hye. terical fancies supersensitive natures know to be very real miseries, for they are pain- fully alive to sensations that those of opposite char acter have not the slightest oan- ooptioo. nor experience of. A complex nature is an unsolvable riddle to many estimable and unemotionable men amd women, and it will remain a riddle to them to the end of their days. CUSHION COVERS. A kneeling cushion cover worked in am effective style, and suitable for a. cuslhian likely to be mtuoh in use, can be made of inexpensive materials, such as crossbar house flannel, which costs about sixpence a yard. Tapestry wool is employed for the embroidery. Three shades of terro-cotta are used for working the background. The cross- bars are edged on each side with a. irow of outlining in the darkest shade of the colour, and the little spaces between these rows of outlining are filled in with single rows of dots, made by working two back stitches, one on he top of the other. These dots are worked in the middle shade of terra-cotta. The squares are then filled in chessboard fashion, with saeding in the palest shade of terra-cotta. A bold design of oranges and leaves is worked upon this background, shades of orange amd green being employed. The leaves are worked in tapestry stitch, and the stems, out- lining, and oranges are done in short and long shading stitch. A very small star in ( dark green is put in to represent the eye of the orange. "Chessboard" pattern means that only alternate squares of the flannel are darned, but the orange design spreads over the surface without any such limitation. Some pensions find it difficult to work stitches from directions, however plain they may be. For a few shillings samples can be bonght with every known stitoh used in embroidery. These samples are useful guides to the uninitiated; more experienced workers are, of course, quite independent of them. Em- broidery worked on material previously darned has a much richer effect than that done on a plain surface. Straight running stitches for a background are very quickly worked. When crewel work came into fashion some years ago crash, workhouse- sheeting, and Roman satin were the chief materials used. There ARE some splendid HEAVY friezes two yards wide in a variety of art shades which, if embroidered, are very suitable for sofa rugs, winter bedspreads, and so on- Gold is much used in embroidery ■ therefore, buy untarnishable gold thread. A very useful penny publication, has been brought out which gives a. great deal of useful information on the subject I am dealing with. STEWED RED CABBAGE. Red cabbage is now in season, and is very nice if cooked in the following manner:- Take half a red cabbage, two onions of mode. rate size, four apples, six lumps of sugar, and three large tablespoonfuls of vinegar. Fry, but do NOT brown the onions in a stewpan. Shired the cabbage, throw it into the stew- pan, and shake it over the fire for a few minutes. Then cut up the apples and arrange them over the cabbage. Place the sugar on the top, and then pour over the vinegar. Cover the pan very closely to keep in the steam, and cook very gently for four hours. Care must be taken that the contents of the stewpan do not burn. THIG dish is very nice served with roast pork. BALLOON PUDDINGS. Add three tablespoonfuls of flour to five eggs; mix them with a pint of new milk, in whl00 put a lump of butter. Warm the milk sufficiently to medt the butter. Butter some teacups, and half fill them with the mixture. Bake for a quarter of an hour, aoid serve with white sauce flavoured with wine and sugar, or sugar only. TO CORRESPONDENTS. "Renovations. "—Terranjotta does not agree with many colours. There is a green grey willow" that is charming with the unso- ciable colour we are dealing with. The little bookshelves for the room should be painted Japanese green. A set of the same kind of shelves over the washstand if curtained is useful to hide medicine bottles and toilet requisites. Use willow green material for the curtain. "S. S. B. S,"—Panel t)be doors with Japanese red and gold paper. It lasts for ever. As you object to pqpti«res the appearance of the doors will be greatly improved by the introduction of leather paper, or a tihreefoM screen would be better stoill, supposing the room is large enough to admit it.

MEDICAL. GETTING OLD. It is a truism that some people seem "to live for ever," while others get old "long before their time"; but to a practised and observant eye, the signs of getting old are unmistakable, and no oaie can effectually conceal the ravages of time. To begin with, the height of a person begins to decrease as he gets old; his spine is neither eo erect nor so long as it was, because the pads of car- tilage (gristle) between, the individual bones (vertebrae), which compose the spine, have wasted amd worn away a little. The back ( muscles are not so strong, and t.he head is carried at a lower level. The elasticity of the skin is less, and the fatty layer just benea/th the surface is less also, and so wrinkles form; arnd at the same time the nutrition of the skin is not as good as it was, and it is harsher and dryer. Compare the harsh skin of the palm of an old grandmother with the moist, soft flesh of her grand-daughter's hand, as she stealthily wipes it dry from time to time with her handkerchief. The hair becomes lanky, dry, brittle, and grey in old age. The movements of those growing old are more deliberate and slow than those of the young; the joints seem to want oiling. The muscles are apt to become fibrous, and to move with some difficulty. The sensation of tiredness, own when lying in bed, is often very distressing in oil people. Their feet and hands are apt to be cold; many of them suffer from itchy skins, due more to faulty nutrition than to cUrt or disease. Many of j them are a little dropsical about the feet, j because their hca-rts are too weak to -pump the blood round the body properly. The gait of a person growing old is notable. It has no elasticity; he shufties along, and never with a hop, skip, and a jump! The teeth decay, the cheeks fall in, the expression of the face changes; the eyes seem deeper set because of the lack of fat round them, and in the j coloured part of the eyeball is often seen a whitish ring, which means disease of the blood-vessels, and betrays a tendency to; apoplexy. Now, everyone's 'body wears out; sooner or later, if he lives long enough, and we called the wearing out senile decay." And if it comes before 60 we call it "pre.ma- ture." A great deal can be done to delay the process of getting old in those oldish people who will listen to advice and give up their bad habits. But let it be clearly under- stood that all the elixirs, and juioes, and I injections sold to "restore youth and vigour" are all useless and worthless for the purpose. You cannot add to the store of vitality in. an old person; you can only cultivate such vital energy as he has left, and make it last longer. Sir Henry Thompson's readable and delightful little book, entitled, "Diet in. Rela- tion to Age and Activity," should be read by all middle-aged people—'not only read, but studied; not "skimmed," but inwardly marked and digested. In tha t book will be found the way for old people to live, arnd how to diet themselves. The teaching will be how to diet themselves. The teaching will be a surprise to many an old housewife, but it is sound and good. Then as to comforts.— j Artificial teeth are a great comfort, and im-I prove the appearance as well as the diges- j tion. A very little alcohol at bedtime is required by moat old folks. Tremor of Hands.—"Liverish."—Possibly lead-poisoning. See "Medicine for the Million," Page 203. Leave off the syrup; it is of no use to you. Water Trouble.—"Bromley."—We cannot suggest a remedy because we do not under- stand from your letter what the nature of the complaint is. Tic Tic.—If douching seems to be no good, it is probably because the discharge is only symptom of some disease which needs ftu,r. i tier and more special treatment. Acidity.—" eat so match meat; live almost eprtuceOyr on bread amd vegetables. (2) Your sister must feed up; she needs food, not medicine. Neurasthenia.—H. Payne.—You ought to emigrate, and live a clean, manly, outdoor life. See "Neurasthenia" in "Medicine for the Million." Varicocele.—"Postman."—It is not the body, but the mind and morals which are wrong. You cannot cure debility by removing a bunch of veins. Celibate.—The sins of the fathers are visited on the children; even when the disease is cured in the father, the debility that remains is apt to be inherited. Pains.—"Anxious to Know."—The descrip- tion is suggestive of a growth or disease in the left ovary, or perhaps a cancer in the womb. It might be well to get curetted again. Debility.—"Lost Hope."—You will GET per- fectly well again if you live a healthy, clean life for a few years. Throw physic to the dogs; you need none at all; and stop reading about your ailments. Pain Around Ilium.—"Grateful H. W."—We regret that we feel quite finable to explain the reason for your unusual symptoms. You may rub some menthol liniment into the painful part. Tumour.—"Trutih, A. B. A."—It is, perhaps, A small goitre, and in that case the doctor may cure it, though the cure is very SLO""• CR it may be a fatty tumour, or a, fibroid tumour. We cannot advise without seeing it or knowing what it is called. Loss of Hair—"Mary A.Anaemia, due to losses of blood will certainly cause the ba-ur to fall off; so take quinine and iron, also maltine or cod4iver oil, a.nd have the piles cured by operation, and then, the hair may grow again. Dislocated Knee.—"Kneecap."—The muscles round a joint always waste after injury to the joint. The only hope of cure is about a month of daily massage of the limb by a trained nurse-masseuse. You cannot afford to do without this, expensive as it will be. Ear Discharge.—Anxious."—You cannot do better than follow the advice given on Page 73 of "Medicine for the Million." Epilepsy.—"Wildfire."—I!t WAS false and absurd, and rather wicked, to deceive you about this. You will not lose your epilepsy on reaching 21 years of age. Yon must treat it steadily with bromide of Sodium, IN suit- able doses, until it is cured. Rheumatic Arthritis.—"L. A. H."—See "Medicine for the Million," THE MUSCLES near damaged joinfts ailiways waste. Massage is the only treatment. Hire a masseuse; watch her at work, and let someone learn how to do it at home for you. Nothing else of any use. Non-stop.—"R. H. E.Me book and the answers in these columns both give general information upon diseases, but the treatment of a special case as yours needs the personal CARE of a doctor, and cannot be carried to a successful issue by oorreepondence; so do not trust to it. Scurf.—"A Mother of One."—Read the chap- ter on this in "Medicine for the Million." Spinal Degeneration.—"Seven Stars."—This means that the spinal marrow is "wearing out," perhaps owing to your unhealthy occu- pation. IVeLix wa-rm socks, woollen garments, and take no alcohol. An occasional iron and quinine tonic may help you. Keep your feet dry. Try a,nd get outdoor work. Short of Breath.—"Harry."—IN health you breathe about fourteen to eighteen times per minute—about one complete respiration for every five heartbeats. In consumption one breaches about 25 or more times per minute, the number increasing as the disaase pro- gresses. Prolapsed.—"Mother of One."—Wear a. belt for support. Your condition, will make a oon- I finement rather dangerous and serious, but you may run the risk if you can be well looked alter, and need NOT work again before you are able-say three weeks at least after the birth. Hoarseness.—"Iago."—If due to a. relaxed throat, iuhaile Friar's Balsam, and suck chlorate of potash lozenges, If due to laryn- gitis, feed Up. keep indoors, and wait for im- provement. (2) Full partdculaa-s about the dangers of using a catheter for yourself and further advice will be found on. Plage 33 of "Medicine for the Million." Nasal Chitamrh.Ca,tar. "Use a nasal douche of bicarbonate of sOodla. 5 grains, and salt 10 grains, warm water half a pint, twice a day every day. But no treatment, patent or otherwise, will do for you what you can do for yourself by building UP your constitu- tion with hard work, plenty of air, dean habits, and exercise. See also "Pain." Bilious—"H. II."—Diet yourself; that is the only way. Read up "Indigestion" and "Acidity" in ".Me-dicine for the Million." Nasal Catarrh.—"Pain."—Local treatment is necessary, no doubt; but you will only get quite well by building up the general health. Sleep warmly covered, with the WINDOWS wide open; eat as much as you cam, and as often as you can. Get "Medicine for the Million," and read up the treatment of consumption. That is the way to avoid getting it. Cancer Cure.—"W. B."—We have known that a few cases of cancer have improved under the use of the X-rays, but, on the other hand, many have not BEEN cured of it. The treatment is not a speciality of the doctor you name, but see the now Twelfth Edition of the "Extra Pharmacopoeia" for a summary of the results of X-rtay aind radium treatment. Worms.—"Do Dc,They are threadworms. See Worms in "Medicine for the Million." EAR Trouble. "Nil Desperondum.—You probably have chronic mastoid disease. By am. operation the disease could all be scraped away, and though you would probably be stone deaf on that side, you would be quite free from all disease there, and would run less nsk of sore throat, disease of the other ear, and abscess of the brain. Your voice would improve, too. Electrolysis.—"Colby."—This means destruc- tion. by am electric currresnt from a. battery. Hair roots are thus destroyed, and the hanr pulled out. The only thing is, that the pro- oess is apt to stimulate the nearest hair- buLbs, which lie embedded in the skin, and make new hadrs grow up. People who try to get rid of superfluous hairs aire apt to find they have undertaken a, "labour of Hercules." ,TTE;7~"WORAFTED.H5E|& "Medicine for the million." Pht,Msås.D. L.

PUBLIC PARK AT LLANDILO. A public meeting of the ratepayers of Llandilo was held at the Shire-hall to con- RIder an offer made by Lord Dynevor and the Hon. Fitz Urian Rioe of four-and-a-half acres of the eastern portion of Dynevc- Park, overlooking the town of Llandilo and the valley of the Towy. The urban district council and the public of Llandilo had been invited earlier in the day to view the land and the council then held a meeting and passed a resolution to accept th offer subject to the approval of the ratepayers. There was a large attendance at the rate- payers' meeting. Mr. Lewis Bishop, chair- man of the council, was voted to the chair —The Clerk read a letter from Lord Dynevor which contained the terms upon which the gift was made, and which comprised a diversion of the path leading through the c-e-n,tre of the park, called the Llangathen path, and also the erection by the council of an unchmbable railing between the four- and-a-half acres comprising the gift and the remaining park, which would extend for about 300 yards. Mr. William Jones, county councillor Llan- dilo, proposed that they should gratefully accept the offer. During the discussion it was stated that visitors to the town had nowhere to go to, and instances were given where they had partaken of food on the tombstones Mr. William Philippe, chief-constable of Carmarthenshire, moved an amendment that they do not accept the offer under the con- ditions made until it was actually handed over to them. A stormy scene followed during which Bfr. David Evans and Mr. William Philipps accused the chairman of having called them fools, and insisted upon an apology. Mr. levis Bishop said that if he had used the word be did not mean to put that mean- ing into what he had said. Only five voted for the amendment, and the motion to accept the gift was carried.
