CARNARVON COUNTY SESSIONS MAGISTRATES (AIND THEJIR JURISDIC- TION. SATURDAY.—Before J. Menzies, Esq., and other magistrates. NO ILlGiHfr.—'Robert Iluigtbes, Llanwndn., summoned for riding a bicycle without a light, was ordered to pay the costs. ATTEMPTING TO SNARE WILD BIRDS. -John Roberts, Back li end re wen-road, Ban- gor, was summoned for attempting to snare wild hioos.-P.c. 49 said that he saw the de- fendant in a field. He had a goldfinch in a. cage, and there were several sticks with bird- lime on them .in the field.-The defendant: I told the officer that. I did not know I was not allowed to catch goldfinches.—Inspector Ed- wards The goldfinch is protected all the year round.-The Defendant: I did not see the no- tice in Bangor.—The Magistrates' Clerk said that the notices were issued, three times a year. —The defendant was ordered to pay the costs, amounting to 7s 6d. FAULTY SCALES. The inspector of weights and measures for the southern portion of Carnarvonshire (Mr Vaughan Davies) pro- ceeded gainst several people for uising unjust scales in the course of their business. D. L. H ughes, a Llanberis tradesman, was said to have in his possesisicn a scale which told against the purchaser to the extent of 2 ounces in every 41bs., but which he might use against himself by turning the beam round. The de- fendant, who said that he would never have used the scale if he had known the beam to be wrong, was fined 10s and coste.—Catherine Hughes, Peris House, Llanberis, whose scale was wrong to the extent of 4 was lined 2s 6d iand costs; while Catherine 'Williams and Ann Williams, also of Llanberis, were simi- larly fiiied.-For ueing unstamped scales, which were also incorrect, J. 0. Williams (Carmel) and Mary Griffith (Groeslon) were fined 5s and costs and 2s 6d and costs respectively. In view of statements made by the defendants which were opposed 'to those of the inspector, the magistrates suggested that in future the inspector should be very definite in his notices, which, it was further suggested, misrht be in Welsh. JURISDICTION OF MAGISTRATES. Catherine Jones, a widow, residing at Garn Dolbenmaen, and a farmer named David Wil- liams, of the same parish, were summoned by the county education authority for a breach of the Education Act, connected with employing a boy of school age.—Mr Richard Roberts, who ia:ppea-r;oofor the dlefienice, .objected i^o the jurisdiction of the court, his submission bedng that the case ought to be tried in the Pettv Sessional Division of Portmadoc, where it had arisen. Mr E. R. Daviets (county education secretary) maintained that the jurisdiction of the court, was concurrent with that of the Port- madoc justic-es.- The Magistrates' Clerk (Mr Lloyd-Carter) believed that 'the justices sittinso- there were justices for the whole of the county, but for the sake of convenience the county had been divided into petty sessional divisions, and unless there was a stroiig reason for deal- ing with the case in that court, it would be better to send it to Portmadoc.—Mr Roberts maintained, with every respeot to the opinion given, that the justices of one division had no right to deal with cases arising in another divi- sion, otherwise they might have people brought from Aberdaron to Llandudno (1alligMer).- Eventually Mr Davies withdrew the summons, for the purpose of reissuing it at Portmadoc. He explained that the case was one in the hands of an attendance officer, who usually brought his cases to Carnarvon.—John Jones, 'Rallt, Clynnog, and William Jones, Caeffridd, Llandwrog, were each fined 10s and costs for neglecting to send their children to school. < ALLEGED ASSAULT.—Ann WilliamsT' "Tyfhllwyn Cottages, Penygroes, ,'sum'mo|ned Laura Williams, of the same street, for an assault. There was a cross-summons. Mr J. T. Roberts appeared for Ann Williams, and Mr R. Roberts for Laura Williams. Both were bound over in the. sum of J35 to keep the peace for twelve months.

DREADED NOVEMBER A Girl Nervous and Depressed Quite Bloodless and Exhausted; The Easy Victim of Disease. Dark Days Made Brighter; Rich Blood and New Strength; Happy and Well; Cured by DR.WILLIAMS'PINK PILLS "I had good cause to dread November, for it was in that month that my life began to bei an existence of continual suffering," said Miss Gertrude E. Cdliis, when seen by a. Bath Chronicle reporter. "When I look back on that period," she said, "I feel that but for the timely help of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for 'Pale 'People I could not have lived through it." The dark, damp days and clammy nights of November present a real danger to all wh<>.<e fblood is thin and weak, and who with feeble systems are ill fitted to face the perils of a long winter. Dr. Williams' ipink I'iUs make plenti- ful, good, rich blood, and so overcome diM -ise and debility.. 1 Mies iCoilflis, who is in a situation at Marl- borough IBuildings, 'Bath, continued :—I ould not understand the meaning of the great change that came over me, for I fell so distressingly weak and ill that I was fit for nothing..Be- sides being terrible nervaus and depressed and upset by trifles, my appetite, which had been growing smaller and smaller, left me. Then my stomach either rejected food1 in violent fits Of vomiting, or else it lay on my chest undigest- ed and gave me most agonizing pain. This happened until I TURNED FROM THEffiOHT OF FOOD. I had hardly enough strength to stand upright while to go up stairs was almost beyond me. I would stop, struggling for breath, with my 'heart palpitating. My lips and cheeks becunie white as a sheet, and my eyes dark and hollow. So bloodless did I become that my flesh was almost transparent. IWeary to death all day, and longing to sleep, I never seemed albile to get rest at night, but- woke up every moTtllÍng exhausted and miserable. "Medical skill seemed powerless to give me any relief. I was told that all my miseries arose from acute anaemia, and finally was ad- vised to go into hospital. This I" did. and there I remained for weeks, after which I was taken to Templecombe. But 'EVERY ATOM OF STRENGTH HAD j T ix n VANISHED, and I felt as ill as before. A doctor ordered me not to leave my bed, and there I lay !help- lees, living on sips of milk' food. Though at last I struggled dowstairs atgain, it was im- ,possible for me to do anything. "'One freiind advised rile to take Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Piflls, jand at last I veilded to per- suasion by buying a box of these pills. A little while .after I found myself enjoying food and looking forward to meals. Then I picked up strength enough to go for short WALKS WITHOUT (BIFI-NG EXHAUSTED.

Of fifty pits \n the iRhondda Valley, employ. Ins approximately 45,000 men, not more than ten stopped work on Thursday in virtue of the notices served a. month ago on the non-unionist question. At the remaining forty pits, all the non-unionists have joined the toleration, ren- dering a cessation of work u>nnecessa<ry. In the, case of the remaining ten pits, it is anticipated that the stoppage will be of 'brief duration.. there being few men now outside the federa- tion.

OUT-RELIEF IN CONWAY UNION A 'CO^llLAdiNT FRlOLM THE liLANDUDNO JKiATEIFA Y ilK^' At the Conway Hoards of Guardians, on Friday, the following resolution was read from the Executive Committee of the Llandudno Ratepayers' Association :—" That this Associa- tion call the attention of the Conway Board of Guardians to the great increase in outdoor relief of late years, as shown Bircham's returns presented last summer, and respect- fully request an explanation. The figures re- ferred! flo tare ttiol--i for the yeairs ending1 Michaelmas. 1905., £ 5,285 in cash, and JB306 in kind 1903, L5,054 and -0296, 1900, £ 4.107 and 1;291 and -i.896, i;6,9b2 and LW2 re- spectively." The Clerk was directed to reply that for the years 1896-1900 the non-resident relief Wa,3, not included rn the local relief, 'but was included in the other years mentioned'. 1903 and 1905. such relitef amoimtine in the leitter of such years to £ 2,^94. Non-residental relief meant the relief of paupers belonging to the union, but resident, in other unions, and which tl",Ief is paid Iy. such unions on behalf of thi,s union. It was quite correct that the ag- gregate out-relief had increased during the period mentioned bv the association. but un- fortunately the number of paupers had also in- creased' atal faster rate than has the cost. The rate per week T)fr hea'd in 1906 was JJs. I¥!. and in 1905 2s Id. The percentage of LMr Bircham's return of pauperism on popu- 'fetion on 05th March. 1896. was 2s 6d. as •■aearnst 2s 6d. on the 9.51,!1 March. 1906. The Cuardians and the relief committees were tullv alive to this question, and. in order to keep a watchful ey- on the expenditure, quarterly re- ports were prepared showing the cost per head per iv(,-k a, compared with the corresponding period in theprevinus year. This enabled them to dtetect in which district the relief was £ !"in? 1m or down. The relief Pommitt°e< were at all times mos» viigilant in their endeavours to prevent as far as possible outre'ief beinsr given to undeserving case- at the fame timø rMinport/inf the nolicy of giving adequate relief to the deserving pcor. This was also the policy recommended bv noor law inspectors and f-he Lmal Government Board.

HOME AND FASHION. I A LETTER FOR MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS. BY MADAME ROSE. A USEFUL COAT. HE vagaries of the English cli- mate, particularly in winter, make I the possession of a loose, warm coat a practical necessity. Such a coat should be waterproofed, or, at any rate, be made of some material which will successfully resist any but the heaviest rain. Fortunately, there are so many excellent models from which to choose nowadays that a rough-weather coat, far from being the hideous object it was some years ago, may be positively smart and becoming. Personally, I must confess that I prefer the plainest and simplest of styles for ■ such a coat, no trimming, no fancy yokes or helvet collars, but a useful, well-cut affair, which (looks, and is, thoroughly workmanlike and com- fortable. A plain sack, something like a man's |"loose overcoat, is an excellent model for j^such a purpose. The coat should be made double-breasted, for the extra warmth, should fit well over the shoulders, but should be of ample width at the bottom to ensure a proper; graceful "hang," particularly at the back. The collar and revers should be made of the same material as the coat, should be well machined all round to give them stiffness, and should be so 'arranged that they can be turned up round throat and chest in very bad weather. The sleeves should be of the plainest coat" shape, with flat stitched cuffs, ornamented with leather buttons. Large plain leather buttons should be used for the fastenings. They would, of course, as the coat is double-breasted, be arranged in two rows down the front. As regards material, there is nothing, in my opinion, to equal real Harris tweed. It is essentially smart, it is practi- cally waterproof, and it wears for ever. To those of my readers who intend to make a rough- weather coat for themselves I would suggest that they obtain the material direct from one of the cottage weavers in Harris or one of the adjacent islan. In this way a very large saving in cost is effected, and one makes sure of getting the real hand-made tweed, instead of, as often hap- pens, a shoddy machine-woven article. A PRETTY HOUSE-GOWN. THE COMPLETE FROCK AGAIN.—Quite One of the most noticeable features of the new fashions is the unusual amount of attention bestowed upon the complete gown, as distinct from either the coat and skirt or the skirt and blouse. Most of these afternoon frocks are quite simple in style and material, but they produce an excellent effect owing to the clever manipulation of colour and the care bestowed upon their fit and cut. I saw a particularly simple model a short time ago, which struck me as quite the prettiest and I most becoming affair of the kind I had seen for a long time. The material employed was a soft grey velvet striped with an almost invisible line in a slightly darker shade. The bodice was made with a shaped band running round the shoulders and down either side of the front. This band was edged with a narrow old-fashioned galon in which tarnished silver tinsel and soft dull blues were mingled. In the points of the band were ( placed small dull silver-and-blue buttons. The bodice proper was gathered slightly on to the lower edge of this strap, and allowed to pouch the tiniest bit over the high shaped waistband. In the opening between the fronts came a deep pointed yoke of Japanese embroidery, worked in blue-and-copper shades on ivory silk. The neckband was made of the same embroidery, but was softened at the top by a slight drapery of imitation Malines lace. Frills of similar lace came from beneath the edge of the yoke, and filled up the space between the open fronts. The sleeves, of elbow length, were finished vith cuffs of the velvet, edged with strappings of the galon, and ornamented with blue-and-silver but. tons. Below these cuffs came tiny puffs and frills of the MaJines lace. The skirt was abso- lutely plain, and was cut rather long all round, and slightly trained at the back. Very simply not very costly, but quite an unusually elegaol and becoming frock. NOVELTY IN TAILOR-MADES. CHECKS VERY POPULAR.—Some very smart costumes are to be seen in the tailor-made world just now which rely entirely for their successful effect upon the clever arrangement of the checked material of which they are fashioned. For instance, the skirt of such a costume would be cut on the cross, and would be made with a succession of wide box-pleats running from waist to hem. but so neatly fitted and so well stitched down to a short distance above the knees, where the pleats are released, as to be practically in- visible. From the point where the pleats are freed the upper surface of each box-pleat is adorned with a succession of inch-wide straps of the material, cut on the straight, firmly stitched down, and finished at either edge of the pleat with a pointed end and a small flat button. The coat of such a costume would also be cut on the cross; but the revers, collar, cuffs, and strap- pings would be made of material on the straight, well stitched, and ornamented with buttons simi- lar to those on the skirt. A costume of this de- scription would, of course, be made with a short skirt, and is only suitable for regular hard wear. The effect, however, of the change of pattern in the trimmings is extraordinary smart and pleasing. Those of my readers who are contem- plating everyday costumes might consider the idea with advantage. No less expensive or harder wearing trimming could be devised, while it is. as I have already said, quite indescribably chic and modish.

A LIVERPOOL GOOD WORK A HOME, FOR WELSH GIRLS. On Tuesday, Mrs Davies, of Treborth, per- formed the opening ceremony in connection with a four days' bazaar, which is being held at St. George's Hall, Liverpool, on behalf of the "Gwalia" Home ior Welsh Servants, an institution which for 35 years has done good work in providing, at, a nominal charge, )",)dg- •^Jg's;, advrioe, and information to domestic servants from Wales. Mr William Evans, the chairman, introduced Mrs Davies as the daughter of the saintly Henry Rees, who devoted the best years of his life to the service of his fellow-countrymen. Not in Liverpool a. one, or even in the Princi- pality, but wherever Welsh men and, Welsh women were to be found, the name of Henry Rees was held in reverent affection. Mrs Davies, in declaring the bazaar open, said that she sympathised, deeply with the ,object in view. Much of the comfort, peace, and freedom from little but irritating cares depended upon the women in service. Masters and mistresses had also to realise their own duties and obigat.ions. Our religion did not know anything of one-sided obligations, and if it told servants their duties it also told masters theirs. That institution was right in the path of their duty. One thing she was de- termined to do, and that was to see that no young, ;girl left her neighbourhood—say, Menai BAildge—{for Liverpool witjhcxult' knowing of the Home that was provided there, with an ever open door, and sympathy and guidance to help them to battle against the many temp- tations of that city.

RUTHIN ASSIZES Th-ese Assizes were continued! on Friday be- fore Mr Justice Walton. CHARGE AGAINST A DOMESTIC. Ellen Mathilda fWilliams, 17, a domestic ser- vant, surrendered to her bail on a charge of secretly disposing of the body of her illegiti- mate child, at Wrexham, on 12th September, with intent to conceal the birth. Mr Artemus 1 Jones prosecuted; Mr E. J. Griffith, M.P., defended and Mr E. Owen Roberts held a. watching brief on behalf of the Jones' family, by whom she had been employed. Mr Grif- fith, for the defence, submitted that there was not a tittle of evidence of concealment and secret disposition. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty, and prisoner was discharged. No I evidence was offered against her by the prose- cution, on the finding of "ma.nslaughter" on the Coroner's finding, land a verdict of not guilty was returned on his Lordship's direc- tion. 'DRUNKEN SIPfREE AT RUTHIN. Edward Davies (35), hawker, pleaded not guilty to the Charge of (having unlawfully wounded Robert Jones, labourer, at Ruthin, on 16th October. Mr E. J.

A NEW VELVET. THE OLD-NEW STAMPED. For some time fashion authorities have been prophesying the revival of an old, long-neglected favourite— stamped velvet. The prediction has at last come true, and stamped velvet is once more a fashion- able and sought-after material. The new vel- vets, however, differ slightly from those whidp were popular in the early eighties—the designs are smaller and less obtrusive, neat. semi-geo- metrical, or small running flower patterns being used instead of the huge old-fashioned designs which were erstwhile considered the correct thing. These stamped velvets are capable of transformation into the most beautiful and modish of gowns, peculiarly suited to the needs of the middle-aged or elderly woman, to whom they are extraordinarily becoming. linne point, however, must always be observed in making them up-tlie. trimmings should be of the plainest and simplest type, so that full value be given to the beauty of the material. A little plain velvet, or plain silk braid, of exactly the same shade as the velvet, with a small amount of lace on the bodice, are all that is necessary for the trimming of the smartest and most dressy gown. It is probable that these ntamped velvets will play an important part in the coming winter fashions. NEW MILLINERY. QUITE A CRAZE FOR BRAID.—A very important item in many of the new millinerial schemes is the employment of gold braid as a trimming for beaver hats. The beaver used is of a silky nature, and is usually black or brown in colour. The braid is employed to bind the brim and, in a wide width, is folded round the crown and tied in a smart knot on the left side, the ends being finished with large gold tassels. A very simple scheme, but one which has, in reality, a style all its own. The vogue for gold trimmings extends farther than simple gold braid, some of the latest models being adorned with gold fruit. For in- stance, a beautiful hat worn by a Parisian ele- gante was made of bronze beaver, and was en- tirely trimmed with clusters of gold apples inter- spersed with large velvet leaves in dull metal shades. Another handsome model, in this case of black beaver, had its low crown encircled by a wreath of gold grapes, furnished with large black velvet leaves and tendrils, the hat being completed by a cluster of black ostrich feathers Length the upturned brim. In some cases gold fruit and bronze foliage, or even gold and bronze fruit, are employed upon the same hat with dis- tinct success. A CHARMING BOOK-CASE. AN IDEA FOR PRESENTS.—Those of us who make our Christmas presents at home ought to begin to plan out what form tkey will take this year, and to start in earnest upon them if we mean to have them ready in time. The difficulty is, of course, to find something really pretty and useful which is yet not too difficult for home manufacture, nor so expensive in material as to strain unduly a slender purse. I was introduced to a charming bookshelf a little time ago which pleased me greatly, and which was just the thing to present to some member of the family with a book-loving mind. The particular bookshelf I saw had been entirely made at home, one of the brothers doing the carpentry work and the Bister the embroidery. If, however, one is not lucky enough to possess a brother with car- pentry tastes, one might get the woodwork done by the local joiner for a very modest sum. The framework for the shelves consists merely of four upright posts, connected by three strong shelves. The frame being made, it should be well rubbed down with sandpaper, and, when quite smooth, covered with several ooats of q ui white enamel. Each coat should be allowed to ,w dry thoroughly before applying the next, and any lumpe or inequalities should be rubbed down with sandpaper before the next coat is put on. The framework ready, nail on three bands of embroidery about eight or nine inches wide, these bands constituting the sides and back of the shelves. The work may be done upon any material liked by the owner, and the design is equally a matter of pei-sonal taste. A very ex- cellent effect, however, may be produced by choosing bands of palest blue linen, leaving two or three inches plain at the top and bottom of each, and working in the centre space a design of conventional roses in soft pink silks. The background should be powdered with big French knots in white and palest pink silk, and the de- sign edged with heavy lines of pink silk. Small white enamelled or brass-headed nails should be used to fasten the bands of embroidery in position. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. ANXIOUS." No wonder your buttonholes fray out, they are not properly made. On very thick material such as you describe the position of the buttonholes should first be accurately marked, and each buttonhole traced out; a machine-stitch should then be run round about one-eighth of an inch from the tracing thread. The holes may then be cut and worked in the usual way. This method will effectually prevent the buttonhole breaking or fraying.
