STRUCK BY A STONE. At Aberdare Police Court onWednesday Jaa. Hibbard, Cwmbach, was charged with unlaw fully wounding William Henry John. John said that at 10 o'clock on the 3rd inst. he was going towards his house when he noticed two women quarrelling outside defendant's house. He went to see what was the matter, and found that one woman was defendant's wife. He was on the point of turning away when he was struck to the ground. He did not know how he had been struck nor who struck him, but he would call evidence to prove it was the defendant. Mary Harman said she saw John near the place where the quarrel was going on. He took no part in the quarrel. She saw de- fendant pick up a stone and throw it at him. Annie Rees and Peter John corroborated. Defendant's version was that complainant cattle up and called his wife bad names. He told him to go away, but he declined. Defen- dant then went into the house, and directly afterwards someone threw a stone through the window. He picked up the stone, took it out, and threw it, but did not intend to iiit anyone. Defendant was committed to the Quarter Sessions, bail being allowed in two sureties of im C".
A Pretty Pinafore-Brest

By MISS IDA MELLER. A Pretty Pinafore-Brest Among the several points of fashion that pro- claim a dress as of yesterday or to-day is the outline given to the skirt. But recently it was important that our skirts should display a handsome fluted effect on the lower part, if they were to illustrate the last word of fashion, whereas to-day the maker of modes decrees in favour of the long, straight skirt, falling in natural, graceful folds, maybe, but maintaining an outline of apparently unstudied simplicity. Tall figures are in fashion, and for this reason dresses are arranged in various ways that tend to make the wearers appear tall and help the Woman below medium height to approach, as nearly as possible, in effect at least, to the fashionable figure. A favourite vogue just now is the waist sloped upwards at the back, where it reaches the level of the well-known Empire waist, while being only moderately high in front. This waist accompanies princess dresses and gives length to the figure. Kimomo and pinafore effects still remain fashionable and popular, and, indeed, are most becoming to the average figure, an important point that amply justifies their long life. The simple pinafore- dress sketch combines some of the most at- tractive features of reigning fashions, namely, the long, clinging skirt, sloped waist (in this case only moderately high at the back), and pinafore bodice. It works out well in face-cloth or cashmere, with a chemisette and sleeves of broderie Anglaise. A pretty scheme would be pale blue cloth and white broderie or again, brown cloth and banana-coloured or pale coffee-tinted broderie. The bodice and skirt of the gown should be sewn to the hifeh belt, aJI fastening at the back. The sole trimming consists of stitched straps of the dress material bordering the neck and arm-holes.
The Fashionable Coat.

The Fashionable Coat. One of the smartest and most Paxisian-look. ing of the newer fashions is the cut-away coat of dark cloth or of glace silk, worn over a skirt of different material or different, colouring, the coat of the open-fronted type, for preference, and worn with a neat waistcoat. A dark blue cloth coat allied to a tailor-made skirt of blue and white-striped tweed, and a black glace coat worn with a skirt of any chosen colour, and of plain or fancy material—these are two instances only that may be quoted of the vogue referred to. Our sketch illustrates one of the fashionable cut-away coats, suitable for cloth or silk, at is drawn in pleats from the shoulders to the waist, where the fulness is caught with a small shield-shaped buckle of coat material. The j-evers and cuffs are faced with cloth, satin, or velvet, constrasting with the colour of the coat, and the loose-fitting fronts should rest upon a waistcoat; a jabot of lace or pleated muslin falling from the neck.

Toby Neck-Ruffles. The woman of small means, who must be, to a great extent her Own dressmaker, can, nevertheless, if gifted with taste and ability, hold her own in the way of toilette matters, so far, at least, as "becoming" dress is con- cerned with her richer sister. She will, if wise, be quick to perceive the various little points of fashion that count for much in thescheme of modish dress, but may yet be adopted at. little „cost—neck-ruffj.es, for instance. How great is their power pver the appearance of a toilette yet they nefed not bfc costly, Let the woman who would always be dressed according to the last word ot fashion, but who has very little money to spend on dress, take heed of the importance of neck-wear and realise how it can bring a demode toilette up to date. At present the last word in neck-ruffles is the Toby frill of tulle or satin, with a ribbon passed along the centre and arranged in a smart made-up bow, which may be placed at the side or back of the throat, One such ruffle is illustrated here, together with an open ruffle of accordion-pleated saft^silk, each end finished with a bow of velvet ribbon. This ruffle is not intended to be worn closed. Both ruffles are mounted on satin ribbon, and the Toby frill, at leeast, is quite easy to make. It consists of a double ruffle of box-pleated tulle or satin, the box-pleats double ones, so that the ruffle is very full, Yards and y»rds of tulle may be used in a single ruffle.

Mignonette, Now is the time to sow the seeds of this sweet-scented plant for winter flowering, and if a later sowing is made in three weeks or a month's time there will be a very useful suc- cession. Rich loamy soil, with a little old crushed mortar, should be well pressed down into pots and the seeds sown about tweny to a pot and just covered with soil. Stand the pots in a cool frame, and let them be covered till the plants appear, the soil being kept moist. When they reach fit condition they should be thinned out to four or five in a potand given water and air liberally. Good feeding is essential if really fine spikes are wanted; and some weak soot water or guano, with a little liquid horse manure, should be applied occasionally. Natu- rally, care and judgment is needed in treatment of this sort, and when the cold weather comes on the plants must be moved into the green- house, where gentle warmth yet plentyof light is to be had. When they come into flower their beautiful fragrance will be found very welcome in the house.
IPhloxes from Cuttings.

Phloxes from Cuttings. The general method of increase in regard to these useful herbaceous subjects is thatof divi- sion of the roots. A better way, however, is to do so by taking cuttings. Not only do plants thus raised make more vigorous growth, but likewise flower much better. The reason of this lis the roots are both young and fresh, and thus /enabled to give better results than is the case with those portions removed with some of the old roots attached. In selecting cuttings choose the best to be had, taking them from those growths which have not flowered, and of which there are usually sufficient on each plant or clump. Insert these firmly in a compost of loam, leaf-seil,and sand equal parts, in pans or boxes, allowing two to three inches between each. Place in a cool frame, keep shaded for a short while, when the rooting process will be. come quickly accomplished. The plants are best wintered in a frame and planted out where required in spring theyl should, how- ever, be afforded plenty of light And air, and kept as hardy as possible. The earlier in the autumn the cuttings are inserted the better chance they have of becoming well rooted 'and developing into nice plants before the winter sets in.

A Little-Known Hydrangea. Hydrangea Thunbergii is an ornamental and pretty little shrub which is hardly ever seen any- where except in botanical collections, where it is grown in the open ain. It forms a compact bush less than 2ft. high, -With ere^t, branches, opposite ovate plum-liks leaves 2in. to Sin. long bright green, with a coppery tinge. The flowers are borne on the short twiggy shoots 'they are in small heads, but probably the heads could be grown much larger, and there is the usual com- bination of inconspictiotis fertile flowers and large showy sterile ones, in this case the sterile flowers being nearly an inch across and their colour a bright rose red, the ■ colour of peach blossom. This is certainly a good garden plant, and it may be recommended specially for gar- dens in the south and west. According to Sie- bold, the" Fieid" observès, this Hydrangea fur- nishes what is known in Japan as Amatsja or Celestial tea, used only on the birthday of Buddha. The leaves are dried and an infusion made as for ordinary tea. It is said to have an agreeable taste. The plants flower in England in July.

Freezias. These are beautiful bulbous plants, and though they need rather a lot of care to grow to satisfaction the result, when success comes, more than justifies the trouble taken. The bulbs should be sorted and potted during the next few days in a compost of good loam and leaf soil, placing about 12 bulbs in a 5in. pot. They should thenvbe placed on a cinder bed out of doors, and left there until the end of October, when they will require the shelter of a frame and protection from frost. They like full sun- shine at all times, and at no time after the bulbs have started to grow should the soil be allowed to get dry. Failure oftens results from keeping the plants too warm in winter, the leaves being weakened, and the flower spikes made thin and spindly by a temperature that suits Geraniums. If flowers are wanted in February, the most forward of the plants shoul d be placed in a warm, sunny greenhouse about mid-December; these, however, will not produce such strong spikes nor as large flowers as plants which are allowed to come on steadily. The true F. re- fracta alba is the best; of the lot, but it has become scarce, and the yellowish Refracta or Leichtlini is often sold for'it. They are all very fragrant.
Orchid-6 row ing for Amateurs.

Orchid-6 row ing for Amateurs. The cultivation of these wonderful flowers is not alone for the wealthy. There is no reason at all why an amateur even, who has to think twice before spending afew shillings, should not derive a great amount of interest and pleasure from a few plants without serious outlay. As well, of course, there is always that fascinating possibility of rearing some new or rare variety which will fetch a large price. Besides, as "Amateur Gardening" points out, in the hands of a skilful cultivator a well-grown collection will be continually increasing in value. The, beginner who has a greenhouse, should confine his efforts at first to the least expensive and most easily grown species. Of these the following are worthy of consideration, small plants being generally procurable at from half-a-crown upwards. Ada aurantiaca (orange coloured) should be potted in equal parts of Sphagnum Moss and fibrous peat. Ccelogyne 'cristata (white, with golden blotches) has been described as the most profitable orchid to grow for cut flowers. Cypripedium insigne will suc- ceed in a cold frame from which frost is ex- cluded in the winter months. Epidendrumvitel- linuni majus may be grown in a small teak wood basket 'suspended from the greenhouse roof this is one of the brightest coloured orchids when in bloom, and it makeS an excel- lent button-hole flower. Lycaste Skinneri bears flowers of great substance, Qf a pinkish or blush colour. Oncidium macaranthum has branching sprays of yellowish-brown flowers on stems sometimes 8ft. or 10ft. in length. Sophronitis grandiflora is a species of neat growth the flowers being brilliant scarlet in colour, and produced on short stalks, are specially useful for button-hole purposes. When newly-imported plants are purchased in a saleroom in a dried and shrivelled condi. tion they should not be potted at once, but laid, out on some moist material, such as cocoanut-fibre, in a warm greenhouse for a. tihle. Here the shrivelled stems and leaves absorb the moisture, the plants gradually freshen themselves, And in many instances fresh roots are emitted before, the plants are placed in pots at all.

Ex-Manager's Downfall. DEFALCATIONS AT CARDIFF. Suggestion of Suiciie. At Cardiff on Wednesday, before Messrs 1 F. J. Beavan, T. Hurry Riches, and C.J. Jack- son, Charles Green .(34'),'was charged on remand tritli embezzling sums 'of *$1 as and I5s, the moneys of his "employers, Leonards, Ltd., trad- ing as the Public Benefit Boot Co. Mr George David appeared for the prosecution, and Mr Harold Lloyd for prisoner, who appeared to Eeel his position acutely. Mr David explained that prisoner had acted as manager of one of the company's branches in Cardiff, and earned, in salary and commis- sion, from 45s to 46s a week. From what they had found they had reason to fear that prisoner had carried on an, ingenious system of fraud "for some time in connection with the receipts and stock-taking at his branch. In his stock-taking, in March last, he should have accounted for stock to the amount of JE968, but it did not amount to any- thing like that sum, and in order to account I for the deficiency he entered in his books cer- tain deb,ts as owing to the branch, one of which was an account for the Workhouse. As a, matter of fact, thP.Sé debts were not in ex- istence. Then came a later stock-taking, but as the position was getting worse the prisoner sent to other branches in the locality and got them to send goods to him. These he included as part of his stock, but gave no credit to the other branches for them. The cases the company brought before the Court were small, but they illustrated what prisoner had done. The total loss they had sustained, as far as they had been able to ascertain, was between jE300 and £400. The method employed by the prisoner to put money in his own pocket was this—the assistant had a book of numbered counterfoil receipts, and one of these was made out for the sum paid 'by the customer, the assistant making a note of the amount on the counterfoil, and handing this. with the money, to the prisoner. On the first of the occasions for which he was charged the prisoner re- ceived 16s for a purchase, but he ab- stracted the receipt that ought to have been on the file, and from a spare receipt I,' book, wbich he retained possession of, took a number corresponding with that of the assistant's, and filled it up for one shilling. Mr David added that as far as the Company was concerned, they had no desire to press the charges unduly, but they were large traders, employin g a good many people in responsible positions, and it was a, serious matter for them. especially as prisoner had taken a very active part with other assistants in Union matters. » Evidence was called in corroboration- ;of Mr David's statement,, amongstt. the witnesses being Mr J. A. Clapham, of Bristol, a district, inspector employed by the Company* who said that when* he came to (Cardiff to make < inquiries he had -to force an entrance to the branch, .and ascertained a deficiency in the stock of £ 3i3. Detective Harris gave evidence "of the "arrest, • which took place at Glasgow, and Mr Geo. David stated that afterhe absconded prisoner's 5 hat, coat, and letters were found on the river bank at Cardiff, with a note intimating that he had committed suicide, t Prisoner having pleaded guilty to the charges, Mr Harold Lloyd made an appeal for clemency. He stated that prisoner had been manager for-the company for 10.V years, be- longed to a highly respectable family, and had never been in any trouble before. Some time ago an assistant at his' branch did very much the same thing -as prisoner had been guilty of doing, and this and other cir- cumstances led prisoner into & condition bor- dering on distraction. When he found himself in difficulties he adopted-the system of-robbing Peter to pay Paul-an indication of moral weakness. He was also secre- tary to the Shop Assistants' Union, and collected something like jE700 a year in small contributions, which gave him con- siderable trouble. Then he found his takings at the shop were falling off, and, in order to improve the appearance of tilings, he accepted a contract for boots for the Workhouse at 4s GJper pair, although his firm's instructions were to charge 5s per pair, and paid the other sixpence out of his own pocket—an indication of the state of his mind. It was true that he contemplated committing suicide, but at the last moment his moral courage failed him. Mr Beavan said his colleagues and himself had considered the case from every point of view, and consideed it a very bad one. but, under all the circumstances they had decided to sentence prisoner to 10 weeks' imprisonment with hard labour.

Winter-Flewering Begonias. It is not generally known that a number of varieties of this plant will flower generously during the winter mon ths. Gloire de Lorraine is one of the most popular andvmost showy of these varieties but among other very useful kinds may be mentioned Begonia Carrieri (white), B. Dregei (white), B. Erfordiae (rosy carmine), B. Knowsleyana (silvery-blush), B. Ascotensis (pink), and B. Weltoniensis (soft pink). According to Garden Life," Gloire de Sceaux is a very fine kind, with fine, bronzy foliage, and large, flat flowers of a beautiful silky pink,and President Bourevilles is another gem for winter flowering, with dark foliage and handsome pink blossoms. Their culture is very simple', though it must be admitted that they succeed better in a temperature from five to ten degrees abo re that of an ord- inary greenhouse. They also require plenty of light, and all the sun there is in this country, in the winter time.
