FASHIONS FOR WOMEN. 9 LATEST NOVELTIES IN THE WORLD OF DRESS. I' At the time of writing tussore is a domi- nating material. There is hardly flJi-y shop devoted to the dress requirejnents of women but frocks of tussore, fashionably made, arci to be teen. Plainer coats and skirts of tus- sore, long and short race c-oa.ts, and slip-on small coatees are one aud ail represented. Go into Oxford-street, Regent-street, Broinp- 1 ton, Kensington, Bayswater, here, there, and everywhere, you will find tussore apparel in one form or another. The long race-coat or I dust-ooat is extremely popular, and in ay be seen merely trimmed with the one material and self-coloured buttons, or it is a much '■more elaborate affair, faced with black silk or in-let with self-coloured guipure. Again, or in-let with self-coloured guipure. Again, "Vie see a coat decorated with bands of Orien- tal embroidery worked in deep rich colours. The guipure lace used with tussore,although self-coloured, is a pleasant relief to it. Sorne- times it is employed its a deep border to the coat. In one ease I saw a very Ixxrgesquare of guipure let into the coat at tha box.- K a position that suggested a gigajitic P^tcli that was anything but an embellish- i meat. A very §mart toilet bearing the labal "for Ascot" had a broad panel front of guipure brought up over the bodice 111 front, pinafore fashion. The tussore forming the re&t of the gown was without any colour relief whatever. Untrimmed tussore is a mctit impcetentio,uts material. You can wear a. dust cat of it on the most ordinary occasions. Put a facing of black silk or of black moire on the coat, and it is dressy enough for Church parade in Hyde Park on allY Sunday in the season. Then a coat and skirt of tussore may be worn as a useful travelling costume that dust fails to injure; but combine guipure with tussore, o.r decorate it tvfth handsome coloured embroi- dery, and you have the smartest of frocks, fit to vrear at ABcot, that smartest and dreeeieet of a>fl outdoor funotions that take place during the eummeir season in or near London. The morning after Ascot races is the day on which, (if toe) people congregate in the Park to see the very latest of Fashion's crea- tions. The smaller slip-on ooate of tussore can be bought for a. guinea, and are very popularly worn on many occasions. They; are a finish to tie dress, and cooler than the feat/her boas, or. rather, short ruffs of feathers that end to ribbon, or are finished with oord and tassels; but when it oomes to a question of smartness versus comfort, the short feather boa ranks before the coat, I tthink. for tussore in lie natural oolour is undeniably trying to many oompleiions. The long revers of black silk, carried below the waist and there caught, tcgether with three large black buttons, confer a certain distinction on a. coa-t made of tussore. There is another craze jnow that must be men- tioned. It is curious how some.fashions seem to die, as it were, stillborn, and to note how others are taken up on the instant, and become a oomplote obsession until more exclusive women promptly discard them for the reason that everyone is so obsessed. The Peter PaD" collar and cuffs have, as Ameri- cans say, oauffht on" with a vengeance, and the shop windows are literally filled with sets of these rounded oolla.r3 of broiderie I Anglaise and turned-back cuffs to match. Out of doors the collar is worn over the coat. Indoors it is arranged below the guimpe that fills in the rounded neck of the bodice. Same wearers fasten the collar in front, others arrange it bib fashion, the ends meeting a.t the bock of the neck. Bare throats are once more in evidence, and the change from the verv high collar band and full ruffle at the edge of it is conspicuous; but I advise no one but the fortunate possessors of youth a.nd wihite, well-rounded necks to venture on this very severe fashion of attiring, or, rather exposing, the throat. Turn back to the portraits of middle-aged women in the thiities of the last century, and]; think nothing else will be needed to convince you that the mode was c.rueL indeed, to women who passed their fourth decade. Let us leave "Peter Pan" collars to the young; the turned-back Cromwellian-shaped cuff is more turned-back Cromwellian-shaped cuff is more I generous to women of any and every age. SPOTS. SrJ;Joœ. ta.rge. smalU, and medium adze, have come in whtm they seemed to be very ltbtle expected. In eairty spring ft01lR!lJ:led, conven- tional, and geometric paltterIJIS prevailed, and no one anticipated these eruptive-looking de-signs. I walked through Oxford amd Regent Streets the other day, and afterwards was in Bayswater, and everyw'hero spotted fabrics were to be seen—pin-sfpats, spots the size of a shilling, pea-^spoit'S, and now and again we came across a material with spots of every size indiscriminately scattered over rt. At present we are unaccustomed to these spotted materials, and inclined to took rather ask- ance ait them, but the eye aoon gets used to ohamgea of this kind, and under the fostering segas of Dame Fashion, there will soon be, no dowbt, a reaction in favour of spotted dress faibrios. COSTUMES IN OWE OOLODIR. I hatve come to the conclusion—arrived at after much deliberation—that a oostIrume in one cokrar has a distinction that is not to be surpassed by any combination of colours, however well put toget-ber. I saw a. oos-tume in a dull shade of mauve, another in mole- colour, and a third in brown that respec- tively confirmed the opinion I have just expressed. i, It mum be understood tbat eaoh wearer had chosen a oolour thai- suited her, tha.t the clothes were beautifully made, and, what is more important still, were "well- carried." There was no tiresome senise of monotony, because the materials used were diverse, and as tulle, silk, ohiffon, cashmere, a.nd straw never take a dye quite in the same tone, one gets varie&y withont change of colour. I have used the term well-carried," and it is one of great significance. If you go into a fashionable shop to fit on a dress, coatee, or bat, and ventured to snggeet, per- haps timidly, that the style is just a little— well, a little extreme, the presiding Priesitees of Fashion may" dissipate your fear by her ready assertion thllit "Madame can oaæry it," meaning, of oourse, that the doubtful pur- chaser possesses the figure, or the carriage, or the style necessary to wear the article advantageously. There is a comforting assur- a.noe in that stereotyped phrase if one has confidence in the taste and judgment of the speaker. Some women do carry their clothes; others wear them inconspicuously or, otherwise, too oonepicuously-in neither case do they carry their clothes as interpretevi by tailors, dressmakers, and miUiners-in short, by all critical sartorial judges of the possibilities and disabilities of the individual figure and deportment as presented to them. LINEN COATS. I overlooked the popular linen coat whilst on the subject of coats of tussore. Linen coats braided and decorated with open work ore rathier dressier looking than the tussore variety, for one thing; they are shaped more to the figure, and they are quite inexpensive. I saw a charming cream lmen ooa.t at a very fashionable tailor's marked thirty-two shil- lings. The open work occurs hera and there, and flat lace braid fills in the spaces left unworked. They ba,e one dTawba.ck, these charming linen coats—they do not stand washing, but lose shape and ootour. Wilth I care, however, and an occasional ironing a linen ooat ought to last a sea-son, and that is all some wearers require of them; for that any special fashion will remain at high- water mark, as it were, for two oomseoutive seasons is to expect what is not at all likely to happen. Laoe coats are very much in evi- dence, too, and they were very^popular last ▼ear, which is a contradiction of what I have ju.st written. One semi-fitting guipure coat was sewn all over with jet, fine kwenge-shape spangles alternating with round spangles. This coat looked as if a handful of them had been thrown broadcast over; yet, there was method in it, for the effect was by no means heavy or irregular. WITHOUT OOLO UE-S'ENSE. "Whilst writing of the charm of costume entirely of one oolour I had in my mind a Slight that greatly offended my own critical eye The wearer of the kaleidoscopic toilette I refer to had on tan-ooloured shoes, a salmon-pink silk petticoat, a mauve dress, with a folded, wide, blue alk waistband raised so high at the back that tihe bow of the belt touched the shoulder olades, and, to crown the who!e. a large Leghorn bat, trimmed with broad aprioot-Unted ribbon. was worn. Ths clothes were well made and of excellent material, but they were, not "well carried," a.nd the conflict of colours Wfu<' appalling. If the colour-sense be wanting, I think I have shown ttert women deficient of that saving quality. will do well to dress in one colour only. SOMETHING NEW IN MENTT CARDS. I Anything a^musinS of this kind is most use- ful, for it is a spur to conversation, and when the dinner guests paired off are strangers to each other furnishes them with a topic that is a prelude to talk of another kind. These amusing cards have figures standing sentinel at the side; they are in bold relief, and rather longer than the initial finger-in short, the length of the card attached. A pantaloon in full costume, a frrotesque figure holding up an umbrella, a hideous negress, a rustic with a market- bsusk-et on her arm grasping a dead goose by the neck and carrying a big bottle in the other hand are a few of the representative figure designs. A TASTY EMERGENCY DISH. Take about two cupfuJs of left over pota- toes. beat them with a tablespoonfxd of oiled butter, a seasoning of salt and pepper, and gome beaten egg. Form the mixture into small flat cakes. In the centre of each lay a g-mjt.ll piece of cooked sausage or meat, ooveT the meat with the potato paste, form it into a toil, brush over with egg, roil in bread- crumbs, and fry in plenty of boiling fa.t. Serve with fried parsley. Now that pains-ley is very plentiful, it should be utilised to .gar- nish dishes oftenea* than it usually is. To be green and crisp—as the parley ought to bo when fried-take some sprigs of the double kind; do not wash, but shake them in a clean cloth to remove grit, &c. If washed the most thorough drying is needed, for if the least moistura remain the parsley will not be crisp, neither will it be green after frying. Put it in a wire-basket, and plunge into deep boiling fat.. It will take only a minute to crisp, and must then be taken np on the instant and drained on kitchen-paper. Unless the fat is smoking when the parsley is put in it will come out sodden with grease. Watercress cooked as spinach is a very PJOS re1Ü;h with fried bacon. Put a little butter and a few drops of l-emon juice in the water- cress after it is boiled, drained, and chopped. Do this quickly so that it may not get cool. This is a nice breakfast dish. Lettuce may be similarly cooked and sent up with rashers of bacon and poached eggs. PICCALILLI TO MAKE. Take a jar that will hold a gallon of vine- gar (cold), into it throw the green fruit of plums, aprieote, peaches, apples, small radishes, gherkins, cucumbers cut into rings., and any vegetables you please—email French beans and nasturtium seeds, shallots, small onions, and, if liked, a clove of garlic. See that the vinegar entirely covers the con- tents of the jar. Put the cover on to kMT out dnst and fiies, and store until the end of August or middle of September; then make a pickle of the ingredients, here named: — To a. gallon of vinegar put four ounces each of black and white pepper, four ounces of bruised ginger, four ounces of mixed spioes. balf a pound of mustard seed, one grated nutmeg, two ounces of salt, chillies to taste, also cayenne pepper to taste, and four ounces of unmixed mustard. Mix to a smooth paste with a little warm vinegar. Eo>1 the whole up quickly, and put it into air-tight jars. Pack the vegetables. A-o., i n; see that they are well under the pickle, and seal the jars, unless they 11.1. V'ø screw tops. Sweet pickles are more in favour with many than sharper varieties, but piccalilli is a favourite with very many persons who dislike vegetables and fruits preserved In dear vinegar. AN OLD RECIPE FOB ROSE JAR. 'Bake equal parts of powdered mace, orris- root, cdovee, and saltpetre. Gather the rose leaves when the sun is on them. Dry them a little, and add lemon, verbena, scented gera- nium, lavender flowers, and wood ruffe. Put the whole an a. covered jaar, and keep well stirred.

DEFINITION OF CHOCOLATE POSITION TAKEN UP BY CADBURY BROS. (LIMITED). At tihe seventh International Congress of Applied Chemistry held in London recently, a short communication on the above subject was mode by Mr. Norman p. Booth, F.I.C., analytical chemist to Cadbury Bros. (Limited), oocoa and chocolate manufacturers, Bourn- ville, England. The author of the paper started that the definition suggested was not put forward from the academic and chemical point of view only, but had the cordial sup- port of one of the largest chocolate manu- facturing houses in Great Britain. He referred to the fact that, whereas in most of the Colonies, the United &ta.tes, and many other countries definitions legally framed, or which had such universal support as to carry practically legal weight, were in force, in Croat Britain any coin pound con- taining but a small poroentn,ge of cocoa could be sold under the name chocolate," wbioh was detrimental to the interests of both the public and the manufacturers. He argued that the presenoe of finely powdered cocoa shell, starch other than natural oocoa starch, and fats other than natural coooa butter' ought not to be present in a confec- tion which was sold as chocolate," since by history and tradition tiiey were tota-lly foreign to this article. If materials other than cocoa and sugar were present, their presence should be made known to the purchaser by the mixture having to be sold under a name other than chocolate," so as to grve adequate warn- ing to the public that they were not receiving the article they were entitled to expect unaer the name of chocolate."

"PLACE LIKE A BEDLAM." DISGRACEFUL DEPREDATIONS AT CYFARTHFA CASTLE. Mr. T. Aneurin Bees appeared at Mer- thyr on Friday to prosecute 23 per- sons, some of them juveniles, for doing damage at Cyfarthfa Castle Park 001 Monday last. He said that the conduct of some of the people who visited the park the day after it was opened to the public was such that ho could not find wordc to describe it. They behaved moire like fiends incarnate than human beings. The place was like a Bedlam. The corporation had instructed him to press the cases, so that they might be dealt with in suoh a way as to act as a deterrent to others. Some of the defendants were charged with damaging rhododendrons, and others with damaging trees, the roof of the castle building, and fences. Fines varying: from 40s. and cocrtfi to 10s. and costs were icSLcted.

RAILWAYMEN AND THE FUSION BILLS. MASS MEETING AT CARDIFF ON SUNDAY. Over a thousand railwaymen assembled in the Park-hall, Cardiff, on Sunday afternoon for the purpose of discussing the Taif Vale Pusion Bills. Mr. J. H. Thomas (organising secretary for the Amalgamated Society of Railway Ser- vants) made an opening 'statement in which he explained the position of the railwaymen, and read letters from Mr. Beasley explain- lnS certain clauses in the Bill now before i Parliament. In these letters Mr. Beasley Save the assurance that under the new regime the conditions of service would apply equally to the Rliy-mney and Cardiff employes as to the Taff Vale workmen. It was oocnmenited that Mr. Beasiey had not eommitted his promises to writing, and after a long discussion the following resolution was proposed by a Talf Vale workman:— We, the employes of the Bute, Taff Vale, and Rhymney Railways, in mass meeting assembled, after havin-g heard the replies to the proposals set forth by Mr. J. H. Thomas on behalf of the men, hereby Pledge ourselves to support the Fusion Bill Qow before Parliament, and to use every legitimate means whereby the same m&y become law. This was duly seconded and supported by speakers. A Rhymney workman proposed the follow- ing amendment:- ilhat thjt meeting of employes of the Taff Vale, Rhymney, and Cardiff Railway Oom- Panies considers this the most opportune time for expressing our emphatic die ajPProval of the contemplated amalgama- tion of the above-named railways, believing ^3 We do that the placing of such monopoly In the hands of a. few would greatly ham- Per the progress of thie great city of ours, not only from its commercial aspect, but 3>lso from the mort important aspect—its ^ocial side, consequently- destroying the independence of its citizens, which wool a for ever be set aside, and the future destiny of Cardiff governed by a class which has hitherto been opposed to the progressive ideas which have taken hold of the peoples of our great citice, We are also of opinion that our city councillors have failed in their obligations in support.ing this scheme without first of all ascertaining the views of their constituents on such an important issue. Further, we oall upon our looal member of Parliament, the HOlD. Ivor Guest, end also all the Labour members, to be in their plaoee in the Honise of Goonmons to use every legitimate means in their power for the preventing of this Bill passing into law. In the course of the discussion which followed & strong feeling was shown against the resolution, the burden of the argument being against the creation of e. huge monopoly in the district. The general tone of the speeches delivered was based on the one point that under the new conditioms there would be no guarantee of secure and constant employment. Emphasis was also laid on the foot tha.t, whereas Mr. Beasiey was free to makex promises, he had not reduced those promises to writing as an official guarantee of the rights of the work- men being preserved. After a long discussion, in which most of the speakers denounced the principle of creating such a monopoly as the Fusion Bill proposed, a vote was taken of each section of the three companies' workmen, with the result that there voted:— For the resolution 97 For the amendment 932 I Out of the minority of 97 men, 96 were Taff I Tale men and one Rhymney employe. The announcement of, the figures wae received with prolonged cheering, and Mr. J. H. Thomas was instructed to place before the House of Commons Committee the result of the meeting. PONTYPRIDD MEN SUPPORT. A largely-attended meeting of the men employed on the Taff Vale Railway held at Pontypridd on Sunday unanimously pledged its support to the Fusion Bill. A strong feel- ing was expressed that under Mr. Beosley's able management it would be of great advan- tage to the general public as well as the workers.

SHE WAS MY SISTER. SIR' MODESTY OF A PEMBROKESHIRE HEROINE. The daughter' of John Hier, of Preystrop, near Haverfordwest, who sucked the poison from the lip of her baby sister, aged two years, after the child had been stung by an adder, was interviewed by one of our representatives at her home. She is a bright and intelligent girl of fifteen years, named Elizabeth Mary Hier. "How did you know how to act?" she was asked. "I had read in my school books that that was the right thing to do;" was- the prompt answer. "Well, it was a brave and sensible thing to do," wa-s the reply. "It was my sister, sir," said the girl simply. Told that she had saved her little sister a great deal of suffering, if not her life, the girl smiled contentedly, a<nd drew the little one bo her with a caressing motion. The child, Minnie Ann, is two years old, and only a very- slight swelling remains to show that she had been bitten.

KIDNEY & BLADDER Troubles make you Weak, Nervous, & Impatient. (j Bvery Pictmr* Tells a Story. tx Many CaTdiff Men and Women suffer from Pains In the Baek- Swollen Ankles—Puffy Eyes—Dizziness—Urinary Disorders— Gravel-Rheumatism-Irregular Heart-Headaches, &c. The woman with kidney and bladder trouble hardly knows what it is to be with- out a backache or headache, or to enjoy a good night's sleep. She cannot stoop, she cannot walk far; the least exertion brings on a heavy, dragging pair; in the lome and sides. H-M- appetite is poor; her eyes are drall and P^y- the ankles and limbe swell. She has sharp attacks of neuralgia, and rheumatic pains in the muscles and joints. How she drags through the day she never knows. Little wonder &he finds herself growing depressed, nervous, and impatient. Kidney and bladder troubles are indeed hard to bear. They make life a misery, and endanger the health of the whcle system, for when the kidneys are ill they cannot filter the kidney poisons out of the blood. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are a special kidney and bladder medicine, for men as well as women. They hea-1 the kidneys and gently help them to take out the urinary poisons which make so many men and women weak, ill, and miserable. What better encouragement cam there be than this Cardiff woman's word? Mrs. L. Babbidge, of 9. Vere-street, Sooth, Cardiff, says:—"It gives me pleasure to tell what benefit I have received from Doan's j backache kidney pills. FOT more than two years I suffered with a very bad back. the result of kidney d'isea-se; the sharp cutting pains in the small of my back were some- thing awful—almost unbearable at times. I could scarcely draw my breath, and now and then I felt 00 dizzy that I thought I | should fall. My appetits was poor. "I tried ali sorts of 'remedies,' but none of them seemed able to help me. I had heard of Doan's backache kidney pills, and I d-ecid-e-d to try them, and was glad to find that they did me good even after only a few doses. Xow that I have taken four boxes I am pleased, to say my back it3 all right. I do not get those spells of dizziness, and my appetite has returned. I cannot say too -much in favour of Doan's backache kidney pills, for they have, indeed, been a blessing to me.—(Signed) (Mrs.) L. Babbidge."
