Fashion and Things Feminine. BY MISS IDA MELLER. A Coat with Cretonne Waistcoat. The summer costume coat is open-fronted, and shows a dainty waistcoat of linen, tussore silk, or, newest of all, cretonne—a waistcoat that is removable, for it is quite separate from the coat itself. But apart from the complete waistcoat, made with back-piece, little imi- tation waistcoats are worn, these consisting of a strip of linen, passing round the neck, and developing into a fair-sized square at each end, the two squares meeting at the waist .and thus suggesting the waistcoat. These dainty little dress accessories look very smart in white linen, embroidered on the squares with single sprays of roses and foliage, or other designs. The -iutraway coat trimmed with silk-braid, sketched, is one of the latest models showing a waistcoat of cretonne. It is fastened with a single row of small gilt buttons, and above it is a jabot"of lace. The coat is of grey cloth, trimmed^ with black braid, which borders the fronts, and is arranged in a scroll design laid near the border. The long, plain sleeves are aol braid-trimmed on the cuffs, and are decorated, besides, with cloth buttons.. Some Details of Dress. Vests and yokes are indispensable little ad- juncts that bring to a successful conclusion many of the most charming blouses of the day. The vest, that sets best and is the most secure of its kind is made With armholes and is buttoned or hooked at the back. In our group sketch.two vests, or yokes, One sleeve- less, the other with sleeves, are illustrated, and they could be copied in lace or lace and mus- lin mixed. The sleeveless yoke as sketched is of guipure, while the other one is made of lace insertion and tucked muslin, both having collafbands. Other items in the group repre- sent a stock collar, with bow and ends of printed gauze (this could be copied in chine silk), the ends fringed with chenille balls a shaped collar-band, with cascaded jabot, of flue lace and a single-breasted, fitted waist- coat of checked linen, allied to a vest and a stand-up collar of tucked lawn and Lace inser- tion, with a bow tie of ribbon-velvet at tho neck. Smar ncss is given to some of the rjew checked waistcoats by means' of a line of dark ,ribbon velvet, or silk, along the edge of the cut-away neck. Quick Renovation. The pelisse coat, or other wrap coat, that must needs be cut long in order to completely protect the skirt beneath, runs the danger of wearing out quickly at the hem, and the usual manner of repairing is to unpick the hem and make a fresh one. But a quicker method is to rip through the top portion, turn in the raw edges face to face, tack them, and then machine-stitch them in place. Card-Leaving. The young bride who has had no experience in card-leaving may be glad of a few hints on the subject, so that she may commit no breach of etiquette. A lady's visiting-card is generally about 3i inches by 21 in -size. The name: occupies the centre, the address in smaller type, is printed in the left-hand lower comer, and the "At Home" day is in the right hand corner, some- times at the bottom of the card, sometimes across the top. It is not considered "good form" to use such terms as "senior" or "junior" on a visiting card, in order to distinguish members of a family who possess the same name. The distinction should be made by including the Christian name, such as Mrs (or Mr) Henry Forsyth," Mrs Ronald Forsyth," and so on. The eldest member of the family need not, however, fedd any Christian name, and the younger ohes might substitute initials for Christian names, if preferred. The etiquette of card-leaving is as follows- -The feminine visitor, if the lady of the house is not at home, leaves with the servant who opens the door one of her own cards, and two of her husband's. Her own card is for the lady, her husband's cards are one for the lady and one for her lord. If the mistress of the house is at home, the lady visitor will merely give her name to the servant and leave no card of her own. But on taking her departure she will leave two of her husband's cards on the the hall table, without comment. If,, however, she is accompanied on the visit by her husband, he. on leaving, will slip only one of his own cards on the hall, table—this for. the master of the house. Should the hostess be a widow or unmarried, he will leave no card. After a dance or a dinner it is customary to leave cards on your hostess not later than a week after the event, or to call on the first "At Home" day following the dance or dinner. ¡, When At Home" days are stated on visi- ting cards, calls should be made on these special days, and not promiscupusly on inter- vening ones. Cards, to return thanks for inquiries after an illness, are in the best society specially printed, and run as follows-" Mrs So-and-So returns thanks for kind inquiries or a blank is left for the inquirer's name to be written in after the word for." In other cases, however where it is only desired to send these formal acknowledgments to one or two acquaintances, and it is not worth while, therefore, having cards specially printed "the returns thanks for kind inquiries" is written on the ordinary visiting card following the sender's printed name. Return thanks cards are also sent in acknowledgment of personal calls and cards of condolence respectively made or left on the occasion of a death i but they are not usually despatched until the sender is prepared to see her friends again. Another special card is that on which the letters "P.P.C." (pour prendre conge) are written in the right hand corner. This card intimates that the sender is going away, and her At Home days will be suspended for a time, And is poshed, to friends to avoid unne- cessary calls. These and the acknowledg- ment cards referred to above are, with the exception of bridal cards, the only ones that should be sent by post. The ordinary visitiog card should be left in person. To Make Jam Clear. The following hint on making jam look clear has heen given me by one who has tried it and declares,it to be excellent. If a small piece of quite fresh butter be added to the jam ten minutes before it is done, all scum will disap- pear, and the jam will look beautifully clear. By this method, it is said, skimming jam when boiling it (which reduces the weight of sugar) is unnecessary. Moreover, the addition of butter prevents the jam clinging to the jar when turned out. To Prolong the Life of a Broom. In order to prolong the life of a broQm, steep the fibres in warm water for a few minutes before usingane.w broom, which will thus last longer, for the very dry fibres of brooms are brittle and likely to snap. The same treat- ment is advisable about once a week. Brooms and brushes should be kept hanging up, for they arc apt to spoil sooner if left standing on the floor.

.■UfWTlT." 11 I' W InBsgSEBI l*M|U UBSaE—SaWSMBIBmi ■III! Bedding Out. It is but four weeks since we had snow and frost. It is, therefore, not surprising that the spring-flowering plants have been much re- tarded. The summer bedding plants have neces- sarily. been kept under glass longer than usual, and they are none the better for this, as it is often impossible to prevent them being crowded while still in the houses, and the temperatures are sometimes higher than is good for them. In some late gardens the spring-flowering plants are just at their best, and their display is quite three weeks later than last year. The Wall-flowers exhibit several new shades of colour, and their effect is very pleasing when such varieties as Eastern Queen, Old Gold, Vulcan, Spanish Queen, and others are grouped together. Runner Beans. Many improved varieties of Runner Beans have been presented to the public during the past few years, and improvement is also to be noticed in the dwarf-growing varieties, and those that arc intermediate between the runner and the dwarf kinds. A great gain has been made in the shape of the pod which, in these improved kinds, is 'shapely, long, has small seeds, and is of excellent edible quality. The plants are, in addition, more fruitful than the older kinds, says a writer in the "Gardeners' Chronicle." A shapely pod can be easily pre- pared for the table, and several of these newer varieties are almost stringless in a young state. The new climbing French Beans are a distinct gain to the cultivators who have not a large space at their disposal, for the longer grotvth enables the plants to bear continuously until the end of the summer, and three or four times the quantity of Beans can be had from them than is produced by plants of the dwarf section. It is the practice in this country to cook Beans when they are almost mature, but their flavour is delicious when cooked whole in a young state, and by this system of serving them there is no waste. By gathering the Beans when young, the plants are enabled to produce other pods freely, and there is no expenditure of the plant energies on the formation of seeds. Hollyhocks. If seeds were sown early in February, the plants should now occupy 5in. or 6in.-pots. This method of raising Hollyhocks is desirable from several points of view. Such plants are less liable to the fungus disease than those raised from cuttings. They grow most freely, and there is always the possibility of obtaining varieteis of extra good quality. Isolated plants are found to be less frequently the subjects of attacks from the disease, and for this reason it is better not to group Hollyhocks too closely together. If they are judiciously intermixed with Pompom and Cactus-flowering Dahlias, the effect is good. Both pla^ts require deep, rich soil and frequent waterings durmg" the summer months. Work in the Garden. As soon as the Grapes on the early vines are ripe the atmosphere of the house must be kept cooler than before. Geraniums about two yeass old are among the most suitable free-flowering plants for v-ases in the garden, and autumn-rooted cuttings, to- gether with Lobelia seedlings, may he used. A suitable compost for Bouvardias is one consisting of good loam, leaf-soil, and sand, and iit should be pressed firmly about the roots at the time of planting. Immediately the young growths of the earlier Potatoes appear above the soil, let the rows be hoed with the flat hoe, and when the growths are three inches above the soil let earthing-up be carried out. ANew Rhubarb. A variety of Rhubarb that appeared to be an exceptionally strong grower and prolific in its foliage was shown at a recerit meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society under the name of Dawes' Challenge. Apart from the re- markable vigour of these some three-year-old stools, with all their bulk of blanched petioi&s showing what strong Rhubarb roots are cap- able of producing, there was nothing remark- able in the variety. The stalks that were shown in bundles at the same time, when cut through; presented á. white flesh rather than a red one, and that was held by the committee to be a decided defect. This variety must not be confounded with Daw's Champion, a vari- ety that has received the certificate of the R.H.S., and which is one of the earliest of Rhubarbs, producing fine deeply-coloured leaf-stalks that are coloured internally as well as on the skin. Deep colouring is always associ. ated with flavour m Rhubarb, and is held as a most valuable feature in thjs plant. For market purposes, deep colour in the stems is indis- pensable, and, because of this, the richly- coloured, early maturing Hawke's Champagne has been the most widely grown for market sale. The older early varieties, such as Linnaeus and Albert, appear to have been quite dis- placed by Hawke's Champagne, but Daw's Champioh is even better than the last-named, and will in time occupy the highest place as a market variety of this fruit, for the successful market growers must have the best and earliest variety. The Overcrowded Kitchen Garden. One of the greatest and most frequent mis- takes of kitchen gardening is that of allowing the crops to become overcrowded through in- sufficient thinning. This applies to^nearly every crop in all kinds of soils. Ten or more plants are frequently allowed to occupy space that is merely sufficient for one plant. Peas and Beans are, perhaps, amongst the first to suffer when treated in this manner. Not only do they yield a deficient crop, but the period of cropping is also of much snorter duration. It is, neverthe- less a good plan to sow the seeds just about as tihick again as it is intended to allow the plants to develop but after this has beendone the thinning must not be neglected. It should be carried out in two operations, and the earlier it is done the better are the results. Oinerarias. Seeds of the various types of this plant should noW be Sown," in order to obtain plants for flowering early next season. The seed pans should be well provided with crocks for drain- age, and on this should be placed a layer ot rough soil,filling the remainder with a mixture of loani.leaf"soil,and sand,that has been passed through a fine sieve." Make the surface soil of the seed pan smooth,and then dip the pan half- way into a tank of water, so that the moisture will travel up the soil, and thoroughly wet the whole. This is a better plan than •watering with a rose, for the surface of the soil is not dis- turbed,, as the moisture runs up by capillarity. The seeds should be sown thinly atfd evenly, and be covered with a thin layer of fine soil, in which bs been placed some leaf-mould. Place a piece of glass over the seed pan, and shade the surface from bright sunshine. Maintain a moist atmosphere and a warmth of about 50 deg. to 55 deg. Begonias. Tuberous rooted Begonias in mixed colours and planted in single beds are very effective for summer flowering, and in late years they have been substituted in many instances for .Pelargoniums. If, however, they are planted in beds, forming part of a geometrical design, each bed should be planted with a variety of one colour. But if reds, pinks, whites, bronzes, and yellows are planted in sufficient quantities the general tendency is for them to appear flat and uninteresting. Therefore it is customary to introduce among them what are termed dot plants. For this purpose Gladioli are commendable, and may be used in named varieties of various colours. They should be planted at the same time as the Begonias. If the latter are planted in suitable soil, they matte numerous roots, grow freely, and flower well. But it must be remembered that they require much moisture, and if some decayed leaves are intermixed with the soil, also a little soot and wood ashes, they will generally succeed better.

NEVER FATIGUED! DOING DOUBLE WORK ON THIS FOOD. A Halesowen business woman, who suffered greatly from acute* indigestion and nervous probation, but won Tier way bacfc to heaKh at last by careful dieting on Grape-Nuts Food, writes,, "For years I suffered from indigestion, nervous exhaustion, and insomnia., consequent upon overwork. Since taking your valuable Grape-Nuts Food, however, J have slept well, and enjoyed far brighter spirits, and been quite free from indigestion. My weight has in- creased by 91bs. during the ten months I have been eating Grape-Nuts, and I both feel and ,11' look quite five years younger. To-day, whenever I get overworked in business I take ftrape Nuts Food four times a day instead of twice, and thei^by get thropgh double the amount of work with little or no fatigue. I would rather dispense with any other article of food than Grape-Nuts. I can- not fully express my thankfulness for the benefits derived from this life-giving and sus- taining food." Name given by Grape-Nuts Co., Ltd., 66, Shoe-lane, London, E.C. Grape-Nuts is a partially pre-digested food, ready- to be absorbed immediately jnto the blood. All the nourishing properties of best wheat and barley are converted by special treatment with heat, moisture, and time into digestible tissue-building or energising food substances. Grape-Nuts is also particularly rich in the valuable phosphates of potash found in the inner envelope of the wheat and barley grains, which are essential for the re- building of grey matter ih nerve and brain cells. There's a. reason for Grape-Nuts. See the Road to Wellville in each packet. Grape-Nuts Biscuits and Wafers are de- lightful nibbles. Most grocers sell them.

THAW'S FATE. Judge Says He is Unsafe. A special cable from New York says;—Judge Morshausen has given his decision in the Thaw case. He declares that Harry Thaw is insane and that it would be unsafe to set him free. He also asserts that Thaw's commitment to the asylum is supported by constitutional authority. What form of insanity Thaw is suffering from is left undecided. Thaw will probably appeal on the constitutional question. Meanwhile he is seeking to be transferred to some asylum other than the Matteawan Asylum for insane criminals. Poughkeepsie, Monday —Mr Justice Mors- hausen has dismissed the application for a writ of habeas corpus made on behalf of Harry Thaw, declaring that he was insane. The Judge also held that Thaw's commitment to an asylum was entirely legal. Thaw will remain in gaol here pending a deci- sion on application for his 'removal to an asylum other than that at Matteawan.— Reuter.
TALKS ON HEALTH.

TALKS ON HEALTH. f By DR. ANDREW WILSON. A Talk about Feods. There is no subject in the whole range of health science more important than that which deals with the nature of the foods required for the support of the body. The knowledge of the foods we require for the body's nourish- ment forms the foundation of other knowledge regarding foods which it is highly desirable that all of us should possess. Thus, if the question of economic feeding has to be con- sidered, in other words'^ how we may feed our- selves not merely adequately, but also cheaply, and without spending money on foods that are either unnecessary or of an unsuitable charac- ter, it is clear we must obtain preliminary knowledge regarding foods themselves in their chemical composition. Again, an important question in relation not merely to health, but also to the treatment of disease, is that which deals with the digestibility of foods and their suitability for the human body under different circumstances of life and health. It is this' latter question of food digestibility regarding which I should desire to say a few words to my readers on the present occasion. • We may remind ourselves at the outset of our inquiries that food has to accomplish in the human body two purposes. It has in the first place to supply material out of which the bodvis built up and second, it has to afford material out of which the body can develop energy or the power of doing work. In this respect the body may be compared to a locomotive engine. We have, in the first place,to build our engine, and, in the second place, to supply fuel out of which it develops working power. Further- more, just as in the case of the engine, the material of which the engine is made is very different in nature from the coal which is con- sumed in its furnace, so we find that, broadly speaking, there is a striking difference to be noted between these foods which are necessary to build our bodies and to repair the waste of tissue which is inseparable from living, and those articles of diet, which, when perfectly consumed in the body, give us our power of doing work. What Foods We Require. It may be said that the body-building foods are represented by substances chiefly derived from fish, flesh, and fowl, whilst also such substances are contained in many vegetable atters represented by the gluten of flour and the legumin of peas, beans, and lentils, whilst the casein or curd of milk represents a food that contributes to the repair of our bodily substance. On the other hand, the foods which consumed in the body, give us the power of doing work, are represented by fats, starches, and sugars. It may be said of the latter foods that all the starch we eat has to be converted into sugar in the process of digestion before it can be utilised for the body's surface. Be- yond these solid foods we have, of course, to take into account that water is a necessary part of our daily dietary. Indeed, we might term water the most necessary part, seeing that the body consists by weight of two-thirds of water," and that water is always being given off from the body and is required in all the actions of life. Finally, we have to reckon with a certain amount of minerals. As part of our diet we require iron for the blood, phosphorus fOr brain nerve, phosphate of lime to build bones. aod common salt and potash, with other minerals, as necessary constituents of the blood. The Digestibility of Foods. The question of the digestibility of foods is, after all, the most important item which can engage our attention from the practical point of view. It is easy enough by consulting^ table of the chemirad composition of foods,such as we find given in every text-book on health, to ascertain the nourishing properties of one food as compared with those presented by ano- ther. Beyond the particular fact that a food contains so much nourishing material lies the question whether or not it is easily digested and incorporated with the system it is intended to nourish. Cheese, for example, is an excel- lent food from the purely chemical point of view for it is not merely rich in body-build- ing food, but also contains a large proportion of fat. Yet it would obvidusly be impossible for the ordinary individual to consume large quantities of cheese, because it is in itself a most indigestible food, and can be consumed in a fair or adequate quantity only by the verty few of us who possess robust dgestions. In the same way many vegetable foods, such as peas, beans, and lentils, are extremely nourishing, being not merely rich in legumin, or body-building material, but also containing a fair amount of starch. Yet they are found to be difficult of digestion,and cannot be easily consumed in quantities large enough to afford adequate support for the body. A Contrast. There can be little doubt that the foods most easily digested are those derived from the animal world. This may be regarded as a perfectly natural result when we consider that the flesh of animals is in nearer alliance to the composition of our bodies than are Vegetable matters. Again, in the list of flesh sustances, we have to consider that certain of these foods are more easily digested than others. White boiled fish and fowl, for example, are excel- lent foods in respect of their being quickly as- similated, and such foods as oysters and tripe may also be borne in mind by those who have any need to consider the frailties of their diges- tive systems. Again, as a rule, mutton is fout.J to be more digestible than beef, whilst on the other hand venison and pork may be ranked along with the more indigestible foods of the meat series. Knowledge of this kind becomes valuable to us when we have to consider the question of weak digestion,and more especially in relation to persons who are either invalids or who may be recovering from an attack of defease. In their case it is necessary to see that the foods given are easily digested, and when we also take into account the fact that milk is a readily digested food. and that concentrated preparations of meat are also constantly pre- scribed for those who have weak digestions, we may be said to have summed up the chief points connected with the relative digestibility of different foods. Gall-Stones. Several inquiries regarding gall-stones have been made by readers of our health talks. In reply to these inquiries it may be firstly said that gall-stones represent concretions deposited from the bile, which is stored up until it is required for use in the gall-bladder lying on the under-surface of the liver. The danger of gall-stones exists in the fact that when they attempt to pass down the duct or tube lead- ing from the gall-bladder they are apt to cause intense pain if they are of a size which does not permit of their easy passage. Accordingly, when the duct of the gall-bladder is blocked up, more serious results are experienced, be- cause the bile in such a case, unable to escape passes into the system and gives rise to the symptoms of jaundice. The causes of gall- stones, a condition more frequent after the age of forty years than before, and occurring perhaps more frequently in Women than in men, are referred to sedentary habits. Persons, also, who live on a. very luxurious diet also appear to be more subject to attacks than hose who feed sparingly and plainly, and one physician goes the length of maintaining that if too long an interval is allowed 'between meals, so that the bile is kepttpolong in the gall-bladder, and not properly used, a condi- tion favourable to the formation of these con- cretions is created. For the very severe pain which marks the passage of gall-stones the doctor has sometimes to inject morphia, and may even give chloroform. Very large draughts of water should be given, a little Jbicarbonate of soda (20 grains) being added to the water, and hot poultices or fomentations should be applied over the region of the liver. In place of hot fomentations, in some cases it is found that the application of ice in a bag over the liver has a soothing effect. A remedy which has been sometimes given, by way of dissolving gall-stones,consists of 30 to 40 minims of spirits of ether mixed with the yolk of an egg. In place of the ether, 5 or 6 minims of oil of tur- pentine is sometimes used. It may be added that very large doses of olive oil, 5 or 6 ounces taken at a time, and the dose repeated once Or twice during the day, have an effect in caus- ing gall-stones to be easily parted with, and, in the opinion of some physicians, likewise prevent their formation.

DUMMY LETTER AS DECOY; The four persons charged in connection with an attempt to obtain money by a forged cheque from Parr's Bapk were committed for trial atWestminster on Tuesday. The names of the accused are Geo. Jackson, alias Charles Grande, Edward Fisher, Alfred Auger, and his wife, Annie Auger. It was alleged that the woman, acting on in- structions from the men, employed a District Messenger Boy to go to the Sloane-square branch of Parr's Bank with a chfequfe for £ 160, purporting.tobe sigtiedby Mr W. C. Spink, a local tradesman. The signature, being detected as a forgery, a dummy packet was made up for the messenger boy to take back. The woman did not keep the appointment, but by a subsequent telephone call as to the where- abouts of the letter detectives got on the track of the prisoners. They were arrested at Gloucester-crescent, Regent's Park, when Jackson had just received and opened the dummy letter, and shown its contents to the other prisoners.

BAKERY ON A FLAGSHIP. The official trials have just been successfully concluded of a bakery of the latest design which has been installed on board H.M.S. Leviathan, flagship of the Devonport Division of the Home Fleet. In the trials it was shown that the ovens are in a condition to begin baking about an hour after the fires are lighted, and that a batch of two hundred loaves is ready for drawing in about an hour and a quarter. This is ample to enable the ship's company to be supplied with fresh bread daily. The bakery has been constructed on the main deck. The kneader is of the electric motor-driven type.

CASE AGAINST COLLIERS. At Aberdare onWednesday Mr Chas. Kensholt. mentioned summonses by the Powell Dyffryc. Company against Evan Davies and 18 others for breaches of contract. Since the summonses were issued the matter had been before th« Conciliation Board, and had been referred to. two gentlemen with a view to bringing aboui an arrangement. His application was that the matter should be allowed to stand over for a month. It might be that the Court would not be troubled with it further. Very good," said Sir Marchant.
