It is the unexpected that happens. Some- times, not invariably, however, as might be supposed when the saying is quoted as usual, "Only the unexpected happens." Jnst now it hae happened. We expected a as usual, "Only the unexpected happens." Jnst now it has happened. We expected a much gTeater change in the style of our glarments, and, lo! the spring fashions differ little, very little. in fact. from those current for many months Dast. Certainly, tailors are cutting our ecats shorter, and true it is that millinery grows more ridiculously grotesque week by week; but other and more important changes there are none to chronicle. Happily, the "Chantecler" toque is more oonspicuoue in shop windows than it is on women's heads; but we regard with disfavour the increasing popularity of the new turban. It. is distinctly reminiscent of the heads of the natives of India. The voluminous folds of material give a swelled, unnatural appearance to the head. These so-called "ltaiah" turban toques certainly are not so weighty as they look; otherwise frequent headache would be added to the many self-inflicted ailments that women I voluntarily bring on themselves by their unwise devotion to foolish fashions. I boa H seen several "Bajah" head-dreeses about, and voluminous as the folds of material neoei- earily are, if they are composed of tulle, ohiffon, or a.ny other gossamer-like stuff, the weight, in spite of appearance, cannot be considerable; but the swelled head effect i, much the same as would be the oase were the turban made of the endless yards of muslin that the Hindoos use for the construc- tion of their na.tive headgear. A very careful imitation of a Rajah's turban has been made, the crossing of the folds occurring just above the centre of the fore- head, where they meet in diagonal lines. One point of resemblance, however, is absent: the Oriental potentate webre his jewelled aigrette at the aide, whereas fashion places a feather aigrette at the back of the head, where the folds of the turban attaiyi their maximum height, thence sloping out ward, right and left, so as to completelj cover the ears. All the so-called toques ol the day are of a "smothering" shape. The word "toque" was formerly associated with a neat little affair that just fitted the head all round, resting lightly on the forehead in front, and leaving the sides and back of the head exposed to view. One modern toque is a frightful travesty of that pretty head-dress, for it has the appearance of a tin-pot swathed like a gouty leg, and then rammed well down over the forehead in front and down to the nape of the neck at the back. There is no sense in gear of this kind, and one loses patience when one has to describe it. There ie, however, a straw-hat that differs much and agreeably from these absurdities. It rolls gently back from tj/K forehead, and is sharply turned up behind, and it can be trimmed simply in any way to suit the Pace and the adopted style of ooafftire. This loMt, by the way, is under- ing a transformation. Seemly in their Own Eyes. Just now there is no fixed mode of arranging the hair, most women following the example of the Israelites at one stage of their national 'history, viz., "doing that which was right in their own eyes." With regard to dressing their locks, women have taken the same liberty of action, for they do that which ie seemly in their own eyes, choosing the style of coiffure they prefer, and refusing to be guided by any standard other than their own inclination, with a due sense of the becoming. But women cannot reckon with out their host, and Fashion and the hair dressers are in league. Between them w(. are forced to give in. to some extent to current fashions in both directions. It would not be possible to poise a steeple- crowned hat on hair drawn over a muffin- shaped chignon even if one wished to do so, and whether it is Fashion who dictates to the baiitrdreseer or the hairdresser who ooeirces Fashion we do not know, but we do know that fashionable millinery and tihe fashion- dfbLe style of coiffure are invariably in per- feot. agreement. Shot Voiles. Bbot materials until now been out of fashion tor a very lomgr time; every other method of introducing colours in com bin Ji tion has been ttied many times over since the less obtrusive, but very harmonir.ur oommingling described as "shot" has had a vogue. The shot voileg introduced this yea- are very effective. At present, they chiefly made up for afternoon toilettes a.nr! for evening wear, and a great deal of hand head embroidery trims these dresses, the variety of harmonious colours appearing in the embroidery repeating those of the material trimmed. When warm weather arrives we may expect to see shot voiles worn in a more general fashion. Combinations of sky-blue amd black are popular. A black transparent bodice and tunic in one pdeoe and powdered with black beads may be worn over a princess dress of pale-blue satin, a.nd with a black otrnament in the hair the effect is that of quiet elegance. Reverse the scheme, and the result is nothing like so good, and, perhaps, a little daring besides. Panniers struggle to assert themselves, but they occur in a form that we have not hitherto associated wdth the shape suggested by the panniers carried by beasts of burden, the modern pannier being caught up only a little above the feet of the woman of fashion. The hip-panniers of forty years ago were quite another shape, and their fullnes-s, allied to the neat close-fitting bodice. emphasised the trimneso of the supple' slender waists of that time. The fact that we are paying much more attention to o>ur footgear may be a sign that short skirts will not be seen in the streets alone. But one doeg not tihimk it would be wise to wear black velvet shoes fitted with red heels neither black patent-leather boots with white kid "spats" or "uppers." Yet this sort of footgear has been mooted. One thinks it could not be seriously contemplated, For one reason, black velvet shoes give an enlarged look to the feet, and the scarlet, heels would draw attention to them. and white "spats" grievously emphasise the size of any foot, however diminutive, and as her feet are not, as a rule, an Englishwoman's most powerful charm, it is wire to reflect on the result of adopting the suggestion I have recorded. Spring Show of Colours. As is their annual custom, Messrs. Evans, of Oxford-street, have dressed their eight lower front windows of their business premises with materials expressed in the newest self-colours, and also in colour com- bines. There are represented there a new grey—pewter or Japanese. I forget what name is given to this particular shade of grey. In another window the blue of the gentian flower is displayed, with accessories of every sort, dyed to match. It is under- stood that this shade of blue will be the dominating colour of the season. The shades range from the very pale to full tones, a.nd delightful harmony prevails. Aloe-green derives its name from the plant that is said to bloom but once in a hundred years Amongst other spring colours depicted in the shop windows referred to are a charming shade of old rose, and there is an attractive bronze. One window is reserved for shot materials, and another displays a selection of all black goods. We then see that there are blacks and blacks—some not so very black. Otherwhere we realise that white is not so very white. The new chalk-white is, however. the whitest of whites, and Fashion signifies her warm approval of it. Foulards. That this will be a foulard year seems certain. Last spring the same belief existed. but the colours and patterns then exhibited I were so unmistakably ugly that very few foulard frocks were seen. Those on view to- day in the best of the West End shops are dietinotly attractive. The patterns in all but a very few cases are small, and set very near together. There is a very tiny ring of dull white on a dull blue ground (one of the new blues) that I liked much. The same tiny ring was repeated on grounds of other colours. Small open diamonds formed a design om some bronze-coloured foulards. In short, there are very few of the large ecnolly patterns to be seen, and silk foulard seema at present to take preoedenoe of satin foulard. There was a sample of the silk variety in the new dull-rose colour, which has a distinct mingling of brown in it. This was patterned all over with infinitesimal stars set almost close together. Sunshades. We have had vpry little sunshine of late that the smart sunshades in the shop windows have quite a moolring air, and they are of the most resplendent kind. For instance, there was a large shade of white silk trimmed wdth white chenille fringe, over 6in. deep. In the same window was another sunshade, the decoration in this case being two painted chanticleers, witih tails of prodigious size, and the most gorgeous colouring. Other sunshades were in pure self- shades, or they were bordered with nnobtrusive bands in relative tones. Coiffures. Returning to the subjeot of hair-dressing, and looking at the illustrations of ancient Greek methods of arranging the hair, one observes how nearly the style recently intro duoed resembles that depicted in the antique specimens before me. Not only is the hair LOW arranged in the fashion of past ages, but the Juliet cap that some leaders of fashion wear on occasion are counterparts of the caul of network which was worn by Jewish women, and by Greek women also. The "mdtra," essentially a Greek head adorn- nuenat, has its counterpart in the ribbons with which the women ('1 this day bind their i heads. The "mitra" originally was a band of cloth dyed of the richest colours, which was bound in various ways round the head, a decoration that we find a la mode in not a decora,tion that we find a la mode in not a few drawing-rooms at the present time. The Cuisine. Fish omelet is a popular Lenten dish, for in many larders cold re-nains of cooked fish are to be found, often not in sufficient quan- tity to serve up without some other in- gredients to increase the modicum of fish in reserve. Served up as an omelet, the quan- tity is materially increased., and a dainty, sufficient,, and appetising rechauffee is the result. Take four ounces of oold cod, had- dock, or other cooked fish, one ounce and a half of butter, four eggs, a tablespoonful ol milk, and a dessertspoonful of grajted cheese. Whip the eggs and season them with pepper. Flake the fish, and remove slrin and bones, iielt the batter in an omelet pan, put in the fish, let it cook a little, then pour in the egg mixture. Stir over a quick fire until tihe eggis begin to set. Shape the envelope to an oval ouiShrion towards the aides of the pan; let it brown a little, then turn it on to a hot dish, and sprinkle the grated cheese over. Serve quickly. Buttered Eggs. This is a useful emergency drtefh. Put imito a pan two ounces of butter, four very fresh eggs, half a gill of cream, or new milk, a good flavouring of freshly-ground black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Beat these over the fire till the mixture begins to set, then draw it to the side of the stone, and keep sitiirrimg a little longer, adding as you do so half a teaspoonful of minced parsley and one ounce of freshly-grated Parmesan cheese, or an ounce of finely-minoed ham, or anything nice of the kind, but not of necessity. Pour ¡he mixture on a round of hot and well- buttered toast, and serve promptly. Coffee Cream. A very simple way of making a coffee cTeme as opposed to the English oreaan is to prepare a rioh custard, adding a gill of black coffee and three-quarters of am ounce of the best lea gelatine first dissolved in coffee, and put into tihe oustiajdj just art, the last, before turning it into an oiled or wetted mould to set. Suet, Raisin, or Fla Pudding. Take hadf a pound of floor, eix ounces of suet, and six ounoes.of either figs, or daites, or raasinis, as you please (if raisins, stone and cut them in half; if figs, out them in suinal pieces; if dates, stone and divide tiham), a teaspoonful of good baking powder, and a. teacupful of milk. Mix the whole weO together; put the mixture in a. gyeaeed basin, tie a cloth over, and boil for four hours. Keep the pot filled up with boiling water. How to Buy a Sponge. Sponges for toilet use are indispensable, but a good sponge is not cheap, amd a hint how to choose one will not oome amies to the inexperienced purchaser, who should be content with one rather dark in colour. Avoid very yellow sponges bleached with sulphurous acid; they are rotted in the pro- cees. Use a good sponge well; always rinse it in cold water after using soap. If through neglect it becomes at all slimy, soak it in strong salt and water, and once a month wash, it in a weak solution of permanganate of Potash; this will disinfect and cleanee the sponge.

QUARRY BLASTING., INJUNCTION ASKED FOR IN RHAYADER CASE. Mr. Justice Neville in the Chancery Division on Friday had again before him a motion by the plaintiff in the action Davies v. the Rhayader Granite Quarries, by which he sought to restrain an alleged nuisance caused by the working of the defendants' quarries. in Brecknock. Mr. Jenkins, K.C., and Mr. Bryan Jones (instructed by Mr. Arnold White) appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Jenkins, K.C., and VfT. Christopher James (instructed by Messrs. Tayler, Rowley, Lewis, and Davies, as agents for Mr. H. Vaughan) appeared for the defendants. Mr. Jenkins said that by his notice of motion the plaintiff asked for an interim injunction to restrain quarrying operations at the defendants' quarry in such a way as to caaree nuisance by noise, vibra- tion, and solon. There was a sufficient con- flict of facts upon the evidence to prevent him from asking for an injunction in eucb terms as he should ask for at the trial, but he should submdt that it was reasonable and unless the defendants made earno pro position the court should make some inter locutory order. There had been previous litigation, and undertakings had been given both in 1896 and in 1908. The house in question, Glaslyn. was occupied by Mr. Davies, all R.A., and tihe owner in fee simple wag his eldest son. The widows of Glaslyn overlooked the defendants' quarries, and, besides the nuisance caused by the blasting operations there was the danger of large frag-menta of rock being thrown upon the plaintiff's land. Mr. Peterson pointed j-ut that there was no evidence of any rook falling upon the plaintiff's land. Mr. Jenkins admitted that that was so, but some had fallen upon tihe highway adjoining the pla.intiff's property. Formerly an undertaking was given limiting the blast- ing operations to between the hours of eight and 9.30 in the morning, and also restricting the weight and nature of the charge used. He suggested that some such undertaking should now be given u-n-til the trial of the action on the plaintiff's undertaking in da,magee. Mr. Peterson said that he was willing to undertake that until the trial the blasting operations should be limited to the times between 8.30 and nine in the morning and 12.30 and one in the afternoon. They would also reduce the number of shots to ten, instead of twenty, and would undertake no < to work the quarry in such a way as to cast reek on to the plaintiff's land. Mr. Justice Neville thought that tlw plaintiff should be satisfied with that under- taking. Mr. Jenkins said that he would accept it nn.til the trial, and perhaps his lordship "rould give them facilities for a. speedy hearing. His llÛrdSJhip said that on the completion of the pleadings either party I might apply to fix a day for the hearing, and on those undertakings there would be no order on the motion.

REFUSAL TO LEAVE A SINKING SHIP. The twenty-five survivors of the Liverpool four-masted barque Province were brought into fjull on Monday by the Wilson liner Oslo from Christiania. The captain, Mr. Jones, of Portmadoc, refused to leave his vessel, which went down, carrying him with it. The mate, George Clark, Gorleston, sought to persuade the captain to leave. The captain's wife and little boy were aboard, but were saved, as was also the mate's wife. Only the captain was drowned. The saved men included John Hughes, Criccieth; George Bayless, Cheltenham; H. Lewis, Bangor; and John Williams, second officer, Carnarvon. The Province ran ashore on the Naze, off Norway. Slipping off, she sank in deep water, the vesgol breaking in two. The greatest heroism was shown by the captain. For. several hours the survivors were afloat before they got ashore at Korshaven, on the Norwegian coast, and were put on board the Oslo.

LINER IN COLLISION. The Allan liner Ionian arrived at Glasgow on Monday from Boston in a badly damaged condition, through colliding with a derelict, supposed to be the Dutch steamer Pnnz Willem II., missing since January. The mishap occurred on Thursday about 1,000 miles west of Tory Island in pitch dark n'ess. A gap nearly 40ft. in length was made in the liner, but, fortunately, above the waiter-line. There were 50 steerage passengers, mostly foreigners, and considerable alarm prevailed but the captain and the crew soon allayed fea.rs.

CAMBRIAN ARCHAEOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION. We understand that at the next annual meeting of the Cambrian Archaeological Society the Rev. R. Trevor Owen, F.S.A., i vicar of Bodlwydd, proposes to resign the position of senior general secretary of the society, which he has occupied for 32 years. For the past few years Mr. Trevor Owen has had indifferent health, and this cause, together with the disabilities incident to advancing years, has led the rev. gentleman to desire to relinquish the post he has filled go long and so worthily. In view of the fact that the two general secretaries of the society and the editor of its journal, the Archseologia Gambrensis are cleris, it is probable that the members of the associa- tion will revert to the state of things in existence at the time of the appointment of Mr. Trevor Owen, when a layman, MT. George T. Robinson, whom we have still amongst us, was the second general secretary.

PULLED THE CORD. EXCITING SCENE IN NEWPORT TRAIN. Charles Pugh and Charles Edwards, Blaina, and John Da-hill, Wharf-road, Newport, were summoned at Newport on Saturday for being disorderly in a Great Western Railway car. riage at St. Mellon's, and thereby interfering with the comfort of other passengers. Mi'. T. Baker Jones, Newport, prosecuted. Thomas Lewis, a colliery overman, of Aber- bceg, said he as a passenger in a train which left Cardiff at ten o'clock on Saturday night, February 5. There were about eight passengers in the carriage, including a lady. A conversation started on football, and then it turned to a discussion as to the qualities of Jim Driscoll and Fred Welsh, which caused a wrangle among the defendants. In a struggle one of the windows was smashed. The whole thing struck such terror into the young woman that she screamed, and her ■sweetheart pulled the communication cord, which stopped the train. Samuel Brooks, the gttard,.said when he got to the carriage ho found the door open, and a couple of passengers had got out on to the line. He removed the other passengers and locked the defendants in the carriage by themselves. Pugh said that Dahill wanted to bet with Edwards, and because he would not put the money down it was said he had not got it. Whon Edwards pulled out his purse a grab was made for it, and Pugh then pulled the communication cord. Dahill complained that the other two men set upoai him, and said it was not Pugh who pulled the cord, but another man, who was wiih the young lady. All three were ordered to pay 10s. costs each.

DEFECTIVE HOUSES. PROCEEDINGS AGAINST A ST. MELLON'S BUILDER. At Newport County Police-court on Satur- day William Griffiths, a builder, of Quarry Hill, St. Mellon's, was called upon to answer hve summonses for offences against the building bye-laws of the St. Mellon's District Council in reepeci of houses which defendant wad building at Rurnney. Griffiths pleaded guilty. Mr. T. B. R. Wilson appeared to prosecute, and said defendant had offended against fourteen bye-laws. He said he was informed rJiat it would bo practically impossible to correct the faults. The penalty which defen- dant was liable to was £499, which was more than the value of the houses. Mr. Wilson added that in December and in January the defects were pointed out to defendant. The walls were out of plumb, the joints were not true, the timber was near the fire, the pirl- tngs of the roof were short, the walls bad, and the -.vhole houses dangerous Two houses bad the roofs on, but four others were only a few feet up. Mr. Gomer Morgan, surveyor to the council, said the bricks used mi two houses, which were nearly completed were bad, the walls m some caeses overhanging and in other coses drawing inwards. The footings were totally inadequate and improper. In the cases of the finished houses, in some of the fire openings the timber was within six inches of the hearth. Witness described the pro- perty as the worst jerry built honses he had ever seen. There was nothing from the foot- ings to the top of the chimneys which com- plied with the bye-laws. He thought it would be impossible to remedy the defects without pulling tho houses down. Mr. Joseph Jones, inspector of nuisanoes to the council. said plans had been submitted to the council and approved, blt when he visited the buildings he found that they were not being carried out aooording to the plana submitted. Witness told defendant he would have to submit amended plans, but he failed to do it, and on one occasion told Mr. Jones that he should build a-s he liked Defendant said he would undertake to put the matter right. The summonses were adjourned for a month in order to gi: Griffiths an opportunity of complying with the regulations, and he was bound over to come up for judgement at the expiration of "hat time

A DANGEROUS SPOT. JURY'S RIDER AT LLANHILLETH INQUEST. The circumstances surrounding the tragic death of George Gale, an underground haulier, of Uanhilleth. were inquired into I at Llanhilleth on Friday by the deputy- coroner (Mr. Harold Edwards). It appears that deceased was walking home on Saturday evening along the path at the river bank, Aberbeeg, when he slipped and fell down the bank. Getting up in a dazed condition, he walked into the river, and was drowned. The widow stated that deceased was short- sighted. The jury returned a verdict of Accidental death," and added a rider to the effect that the district council's attention should be called to the matter, and they suggested that fences should be erected at dangerous positions on the footpath.

Whooping Cough when the trouble is first known to be whooping cough, or when your child has had whooping cough for a long time, by SCOTT'S Emulsion Whooping cough, however bad, is cured by taking Scott's ¡ Emulsion, which is not a medicine that merely gives temporary relief, Scott's Emulsion permanently cures whooping cough, however violent! This statement is made here in confidence because hundreds of parents have written to say their children have been cured of whooping cough by Scott's Emulsion. For example, Mrs. Crick wrote on January 25th, 1909, from 31, St. Steven's Road, Upton Park, E.: "My eldest boy was a very delicate child, and it was only your marvellous remedy that has made him the fine boy that he is to-day. Last May he developed whooping cough very badly, bleeding at the nose and mouth !s' every time he coughed, until he was almost exhausted. I flew at once to W;jm Scott's Emulsion, and with that and plenty of fresh air, he lost the terrible cough in six weeks, although I was told he would not lose it until the next spring. This trademark was on the emulsion I bought" Presuming you wish to get rid of whooping cough, and influenced by the statements here made decide to buy Scott's Emulsion, decide also, and this is equally im- t portant, to GET SCOTT'S EMULSION. You may be asked to buy another emulsion, and told it is "just as good as S cot t' s." That proves that Sc o t t's is THE Emulsion to buy, and proves also that substitute emulsions can only be sold on the reputation of Scott's Emulsion, substitute I emulsions have no reputation of their own. That is why Scott's Emulsion cures and other emulsions do not cure no other emulsion has yet been made that cures like Scott's cures! Scott's Emulsion cures the disease-no matter the age of the patient-and will be approved by your Doctor for Whooping cough if you ask him.
