FASHIONS FOR WOMEN. ♦ LATEST NOVELTIES IN THE WORLD OF DRESS. The Modorn Babylon is very full juet now; it always is in the month of Jume, but this year the vast throng gathered together in Dond'on appears uiiusnially great.. No doubt, the White City has a magnetic attraction for millions of people, and the Pan-Angli<Xlin 0:>ngre?B is of paramount importance to a eo'UTi'i.k-ss h-oi=t solicitous for the extension and welfare of the Church militant here on earth and the dissemination of the Gospel throughout all lands and among all peoples. THE MID-SEA SON. During the inoesis-ant whirl of tihe mid- seas-cn everyone gets over-worked. What we term the leisured classes in the pursuit of pleasua-e work as hard in their way as any- one, but with widely differing remits. At this time of the year every day in London sevn; to consist of forty-eig-ht hours, and ca.ch hour of that day to coiratain one hun- dred and twenty minutes, all of them tre- mendously occupied, time in this respect being measured by the amount of work, business or pleasure, crammed into the nights ae well a.s the days du'ring this feverish rnid-summtT mid-seasr>a. The shopkeepers arc dreadfully ru shed—in .-hort, everyone is rushed now, and the pace is certainly killing: In the heart of tih-e country there a.re—though, somehow, !/>donors can hardly realise it—coo!, green par.tu.rrs with ruminating cattle in them, leafy woods, running streams, silent pools— all the repose and restfulness so utterly alien, to the traffic, raa-r, and turmoil of the streets, the ineeve-iant tramp of many feet on the pavrrr.ents, the strain and the street of those who throng them night and day, rhy and nigut, an endless, interminable train. "W", see the Jong procession Still'1,parsing to and fro. The young heart hot and restless, And the old subdued and slow; We tihink how many thousands Cf eare-enooinbered men, Each bearring h.is burden of so'rro'w, Have pass-eid that bridge since—when?" Longfellow's pathetic verses havo been -.lightly travestied to suit the occasion, for we are thinking cf other bridges, and of London Bridge in particular, where the traffic ceases net night nor day, and where the curious observer may very soon verify the assertion that never at any hour the whole day through can you cross that bridge without seeing the traditicnal white horse on it. JUNE FASHIONS. The draprirs are beginning already to pre- j>ara for their "after-season" sates, which means that they are pushin.g forward the .0::1.:03 of thpir summer good's as much as pos- sible. There is great subtlety of invention Mapiayed in the. dressing of their shop win- dows. What an indefinable art there is in .vinciow-dreusing! A well-known essayist once wrote 'a readable article on "The Art of Put- ting Things." Hardly lees important in the :.Ti.tepest«3 of trade is the art of placing things, nn art to excel in which demands almost as much training and skill as does the aequdre- ■nent of some of the so-called learned pro- ."csione. The painter's accurate eye for pose and oolour is esi-emtia.1 to the successful vindoiw-dresser, like the superior artist who t-ands back from the easel, and palette in h'md, critically surveys his suibjeot and Ms treatment of it. The •wrnd'oAv-dresfie.r par ■exT'cllemee stands outside the shop either sur- veying his own airrangements of the articles therein displayed or criticising and directing the operations of subordinates working under him. And when lie, the minor-artist, is satis- fied what a centre of attraction to the feminine world that window becomes! Nor is it alone in windows devoted to the sale of aitioles of dress that this skill in posing is apparent. Jurt one example of it: It was a large, square cushion in a decorating uphol- sterer's plate-gliaes window-in fact, in the centre of it—-and but for the manner in which it was set out-, might have been unnoticed, or been in corresponding sense what the I primrose was to Peter Bell in Wordsworth's delightful poem, A primrose on a river's brim A yellow primroee was to him, And it wa.s nothing more." Bait the cushion arranged as it was looked more important than a mere back or head rest; it was distinctly a decorative article, in addition—one cornier erect and the down flJI- ing an either side punched in just above the carriers riffht and left. This trifling altera- tion of sha-pe seems hardly worth recording, but tshe difference effected by it wouJid be appreciated by anyone with on eye for deco- rative posing; in shart, that cnshiOlll was a wordless commentary on the valuable art of displaying things to the best advantage. Some of us have noiticod how by a few magic touches the appearance of a room may be improved. The. maid has arranged the furni- ture in the formal way common to her c'a5F. Then, without actually displacing it. the mistress changes in a few minutes the entire aspect of things. She draws one cihadr forward, sots another back, alters the posi- tion of occasional tables and chairs, gives a touch to the sofa and chair cushions, to orna- ments, and to 'the window drapery—only a touch—yet, the magic of these seeming in- significant operations is patent to all but the most obtuse. To your text. Mr. Dean! To your text!" was the cry of impatient Eliza- beth Tudor to a too discursive chaplain. So we to our text in response to a mandate silent, but equally imperative. FASHIONS FOB JUNE. Foremost amongst these are the waistcoats made of chintz. Hitherto waistcoats have envied at the waist, and, as a rule, were meiefparable from the coat, but the newest vest is suite a separate affair, and the very newest is carried well below the waist-line after the manner of waistcoats worn wthen Geprge III. was king, and, in like fashion, flap pockets are a feature of the modern du plicate. Sometimes we see a smaller pocket near the top of the vest, which shows only a little of the lace shirt worn, beneath. cretonne used is of a flowery descrip- The cretonne used is of a flowery descrip- tion in a mingling of vivid ccjk»uirs. Other waistcoats are made of chintz in Oriental or Paisley coloairs and patterns, -wom with self- coloured coats and skirte; these flowered vests are very smart-looking. "Smart" is a word said to be quite tabooed, but our language does not provide its equivalent, so the interdicted monosyllable moist be used occasionally. Chintz vests are rather expen- sive, for they require the most ca-reful cut- ting; one or two worn "turn ajid turn about" give a stylish aptpetarance to any coat, far superior to that produced by the variation of the shirts and blouses wherewith we are accustomed to diversify the appearance of OUT coat and skirt costumes. THE LATEST DEVELOPMENT. The latest development of the neck-ruffle is a very wide neck-band of tucked muslin, the lower edge terminating in. a point beneath the chin. Narrow double frililg of kilted lace finish both edges, and a twrist of soft ribbon tied at the back is passed through the centre of the ruff at diaerotion ■ There is a.n endiees array of narrow fiat ties for the neck; they atre laid under the turn-over collar or carried round the collar-band, and, being secured by a brooch, the ends of the tie fall to the waist. Ties of this description are much worn in Paris; so are the small bows and ends of twisted crepe de chine. Then, ribbon is threaded in collars and rufiles and tied at the back. This fashion prevailed vary many years back, when it -was oarrjftd to excess, the ends of Tibbon two inchUTwide falling to the hem of the skirt, which was both inconvenient and absurd. A natty little bow where the collar fastens, whether under the chin or at the back of the neck, is a neat finish. In the latter position it certainly suits all and sundry. Rdbbons are much used for the hair, being made up in various decorative ways for this purpose. FOTTLAED. Fouilard, as already mentioned, is a great, favourite with many fashionable women. On Derby Day the Princess of Wales wore a dross of satin foulard, and on "Oak's" day Mrs. George Keppie, who is one of the best dressed Society dames, were a, sea-green satin foulard toilette and a large hat trimmed with feathers to match, relieved with touches of salmon pink. Another tasteful but simple dreSs was made of ivory muslin, checked with fine lines in black and red. Very popu- lar at this time is a pale, soft shade of grey, touched up with orchid mauve. COOLING DRINKS. Among drinks of this sort is that known as "Cambridge"; it is both agreeable a.nd refreshing, and is made by mixing together equal quantities of ale and soda water, but many persons prefer ginger-beer in place of. the mineral water. t CANADIAN Is another refreshing beverage. Half fill a sodoa.-wat,er glass with pounded ice, and add to it half a email lemon tlhinly sliced, a dessertspoonful of soigar, and two glasses of sherry. Mix well, and drink through aeitra.w. LEMON SQUASH. Take the juice of eight lemons; allow a tablespoonful of sifted sugar to each lemon. Put into a clean pan, with a pint of water, and simmer gently until the sugar is dis- solved. Beat uip th3 white and shell of one egg, add these to the syrup. Stir until the mixture boils; let it do so for a minute or two, then pour through a jelly-bag. When ocxld add a quarter of an ounce of citric acid, bottle, and cork tishtJy. When required for use prut five drops of Angostura bitters in a soda glass, them add a wineglassful of the lemon mixture, fill up with siodo-water, place a thin slice of lemon on the top, and serve with two straws. BLACK CURRANT LIQUEUR. Into a large stone jar with a small mouth brea.k some sugar candy in small pieces, and to every pound of candy willow OIlle quart of Crmt (picked from the stalks and free from the flowers at the end of tahe currant^; add. two or three cloves and a pint and a half of gin. Shake the jar often for a month or so. The liquor may then, be poured off amd bottled. It shotild be quite clear, and is fit to drink. The currants should be gathered after two successive dry days and be thoroughly, but not over, ripe. PERFECT COFFEE. Someone pronounced the metencholy ver- dict that it is quite to get a cup of good coffee on this rade the Channel. In France, and more especially in Boerland, the excc-llonce of the coffee is proverbial, and the dwefilccrs in those countries seem alto- gtther ir'different to the return stigma, that you canwt get a. cup of gocd tea out of E.ng- land, and China. Here, however, house- keepers resent the assertion that they cannot make drinkable coffee., but there is more than a grain of truth i'n the accusation junt recorded. The secret of unsuccessful coffee- brewing lies in the fact that we are indiffe- rent to the rules laid down for making good coffee. The coffee is not newly roasted nor freshly ground, the proportions of coffee and water are not properly balanced, and strength, combined with clarity, is a matter of indifference—a few 'grounds or many, what matter! At a certain restaurant here in Lon- don coffee of the most. irreproachable kind i" made. It is true the berries are roasted hourly and afterwards ground for pre&e.nt Ui&e, but the apparatus for the actual brew- ing could wot be more simple nor moire inex- pensive. The following recipe carcfully earricd cuit will at once remove the aspersion that we cannot make coffee fit to drink: — The newly-ground coffee is to be p>uit in a vre'l-warmrd patent eathenwinre jug. amrl water just brought to the boil poured over. A wooden spoon i" thel:1 used t:) stir t:he, borei\ A Mow a f ew minuses to pars, and then f't, very thr:ror.gh!y a second time. Let the coffee stand a little longer, then remove the froth with a spoon, and pour the coffee into a hot jug. One ounce and a quarter of coffee must- he allowed to each pint of water. The price of the jugs in brown ware ranges from tempefnee for a pint size; the same jars in "mycover" cost a trifle in excess. Measures and spoons are a penny each, and coffee mil's may he boutght from three shillings up to six shillings oooh. The best coffee is sold nt two shillings the pound, and there are three lower prices for atiher brands, all good. A great deal of made coffee is wasted because it is not dirinkable, whereas if duly appor- tioned to t'he naimber of partakers, amd ::toR drinkable as coffee ought to be, there would i'c 'no waste at all. It will be seen that it is false economy to stint the quantity of ground y)ff.¡, and aftorwards brew it 8,') that a weak solution, fortified with grounds, is offered in the cup that does net cheer. Neither possesses the merit a-erihed to excellent coffee—that of aiding digestion and checking or subduing the influence of a too free indulgence in wine. GRILLED CHOPS. FraneatoICi's eauoe for these is made of three ahajlots chopped fine, to be put in a small stewpan, with two ta>blespoonfuls of good vinegar and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Boil the?e for a few minutes; then add half a pint of strong brown, gravy and a table- sipoonful of tomato satuoc. Boil again, and finally etir in a P' £ t of butter and a little anchovy sauce.

TECHNICAL INSTRUCTION IN CARDIFF. NEW AGREEMENT WITH COLLEGE COUNCIL. At a special meeting of the Cardiff Educa- tion Committee (Alderman Lewis Morgan presiding) on Monday, .agreement was cbme to with regard to the provisions of the pro- posed three years' agreement between the county council and the college council in respect of technical instruction. It was decided, amongst other provisions, (1) That the college council be asked to provide suitable rooms and laboratories in its buildings in Newport-road, Dumfries- place, and, if necessary, other buildings at present under its control for such teaching and examination purposes as may be required by the education committee, and that these rooms shall only be used by students of fourteen years of age and up- wards, provided that exceptions respecting the age limit may be made with regard to the art school. (2) That arrangements be made whereby the education committee will continue to use for technical sohool purposes the new build- ings in Dumfries-place. <3) That the administrative work and man- agement of the school, with the exception of any matters &Bare in the agreement speci- fically delegated to the college council, be reserved to the education committee. (4) That the college council slhall be empowered in aJl cases where classes are established by the technical committee requiring the use of college laboratories, and in other subjects agreed upon, to appoint the teachers; that the salaries of such teachers, when fixed by the local education authority, be paid through the college council; and that the foregoing be subject to the proviso that all communications regarding the teaching and conduct of these classes shall be made through the principal of the college as representing the council of the college, and not direct to the teachers. (5) To pay to the council of the college 5 per cent, on the total amount collected by them for the work involved in the collection of the fees at the college main buildings. The new arrangement will involve the annual payment of £1.437 to the college council in respect of administration expenses, as against £1,923 under the old agreement. It was also agreed to pay the college -6125 annually for three years for conducting classes in cookery and laundrywork at the Training School of Cookery and the Domestic Arts, and to spend not exceeding JE100 a year on free studentships, with or without main- tenance, at the day classes of that school. Owing to the alteration of the conditions in the art school under the new schtfme, it was decided to pay Mr. Bush £450 as head- master, and Mrs. Bush £100, as against £68l paid to both under the old conditions. The recommendation of the technical schools committee to dispense with the services of Mr. Farr, the assistant art master, was referred back.

MERTHYR POLICE FORCE. HOME SECRETARY AND QUESTION OF ARBITRATION. At a meeting of the Merthyr Borough Council on Monday the watch committee submitted a copy of a letter addressed by the Hotme Secretary to the clerk to the Glamorganshire Standing Joint Oammittee with regard to the Merthyr police. Mr. Gladstone regretted it had not yet been found possible to settle the terms of arbitra- tion necessary in consequence of the separa? tion of the borough from the county for police purposes. It appeared to Mr. Gladstone fair and reasonable that the arbitration should include all questions as to what financial adjustments are necessary as between the county and the county borough in respect of (1) the police superannuation fund and (2) the existing police-stations in consequence of this separation and the termination of the consolidation agreement. In dealing with this question it would appear that the police-stations situated outside the borough could not be left out of account. However, Mr. Gladstone felt it impossible to withhold much longer his oososent to the termination of the consolidation agreement whiioh he promised to give so long ago as January 9 last. Before, however, giving his consent, he would be glad to know if the county would allow the police-stations situated within the limits of the borough to be used, if the watch committee desired them. for the purposes of the new force before finia.1 agreement OIl the matters in dispute is reached. He felt that the present condition of things with regard to the policing of the borough might at any time lead to serious difficulty, and should be put an end to as soon as possible. The committee also reported the receipt of a letter from Mr. T. Mansel Franklen stating that the standing joint committee was still awaiting a reply to his letter of May 2, inquiring the council's intention by their proposal of an "open arbitration," and that they had instructed the town-clerk to refer Mr. Franklen to the council's letter of April 25 last, and to say that the Home Secretary bad already expressed his views on the question of arbitration, with whioh the committee concurred. The report was adopted.

PONTARDULAIS TRAGEDY, YOUNG GIRL'S STRANGE CONDUCT AND DEATH. An inquest was held at Pontardulais on Friday afternoon in a. case which excited considerable interest in the district owing to the mystery surrounding it. It was on the body of Lizzie Parcell, a domestic ser- vant, aged seventeen, who disappeared on Tuesday morning, and whose body was found in the Loughor River on Thursday. The witnesses seemed to know no reason for suicide. Mrs. Cordelia Jones, her mis- tress, said deceased when she went out on Whit-Monday morning was in her usual good spirits. She did not return till about a quar- ter to twelve p.m., when she appeared excited and was accompanied by a policeman. Wit- ness added that deceased appeared to look dejected and ashamed, and appeared to have something on her mind. A young man named Granville Mathias, of Hendy, said he made an arrangement to meet deceased on Whit-Monday, but she did not meet him. Late the same evening he met her, and she walked along with him towards her home, but she would not go home. She gave him a necklace, which she asked him to give to her cousin Lizzie, and on leaving him appeared to go in the direc- tion of the river. He was suspicious of her conduct, and sent another young man to inform the polioe. She had told him she would not go home, and no one should make her. She said, I am determined to do it. I am going of my own free will." The jury returned a verdict of Suicide whilst temporarily insane," the Coroner remarking that it. ytae a, veiy e«4 cm

NEWPORT BOOKMAKER'S SUDDEN J CHANGE OF LUCK. A Derby Day betting prosecution took place at Newport on Friday. Johu Osmond, bookmaker, of Eton-road, was charged with loitering in High-street and Market-street for the purpose of receiving bete on June 3. Mr. Morgan, from the town-clerk's office, who prosecuted, said street betting was very prevalent in the town. When the defendant was arrested the amount found in his posses- sion was £4.3 2s. 2d., so that the infliction of a small fine would not be felt in the slightest degree. The Juertices'-ciark (Mir- T. Soiinrmens): The bookmakers were very fortunate that day, weren't they? Mr. Lyndon Cooper (who defended): J don't know, Mr. Summers. Mr. Summers: Except, of course, in this case, and he was run tn. I Detective-sergeant Cox, who gave evidence of the arrest, said when Detective Caldicot and himself accosted him and said, "Well, Osmond, we have been watching you taking bets, and you must come to the police- station," defendant replied, "Is there any need to take me there? Oan't you report it?" When he was told "No," Otauxnd said, It's a bit of bad luck for me to-day." Mr. Lyndon Cooper asked the detective what right he had to retain a sum of jB22 fiom the defendant when Osmond was released on bail. Detectivo-sergeant Cox: Those were our instructions. Mr. Cooler Some one will get into trouble about it. Detective-sergeant Cox: I thought it came under the Act to take possession of every- thing relating to betting. In fact, he wanted us to retain the money. The Bench considered the case proved, and as this was his first appearance under the 12 new Act defendant was fined £ 5 and two 1 guineas costs. i
