Fashion and Things Feminine. By IDA MELLER. Flannel Costumes for Country and Seaside. For seaside and country wear French costume flannels, chiefly in striped designs, are doing excellent service. Those with quarter-inch black and white stripes, made up as corselet skirts and coats reaching almost to the knees, are meeting with special success, and, again, the grey striped flannels are very popular and use- ful. These everyday suits are accompanied by shirts of white cambric or Swiss embriodered muslin, made quite simply and finished with a fashionable little' collar and tie at the neck. The costume flannels of to-day are so smooth and well made that they are near akin to cloth. Braid and buttons are used for their adorn- ment. The ever-useful serge dress in bright shades of navy blue shares honours with the flannel costume for seaside wear, an adaptable fashion in which several costumes of serge, turned out by skilful tailors, are made, showing corselet skirts held up by wide braces of serge, and three-quarter coats cut with points back and front. On sunny, bright days the skirts can be worn without the coats, the costumes being made up with dainty blouses of coffee-tinted lace, of coarse pattern, while on other occa- sions simple shirts of white muslin or washing silk can replace the lace blouse. Our full- length sketch shows a tailor-made costume (suit- able for country or seaside wear) of black and white striped flannel, the coat fastened with a single large button, and three smaller ones trimming each shoulder. A Simple Dinner Skirt. Although the princess dress has, in a great measure, deposed the blouse and skirt cos- tume for house wear, the latter is by no fcneans out of fashion, the lace and net blouse being much worn in fashionable circles above skirts of eolienne or similar fabric. Toilettes composed in this way are useful for friendly dinners and soirees, the skirts cut corselet fashion, or, in the case of transparent fabrics, such as chiffon and silk voile, gathsred to high, draped belts that yield the effect of a corselet. The dinner skirt sketched is made in this way, the material crystalline, that can be bought, double-width, for less than a shilling a yard, and is as effec- tive as the more costly chiffon. For a skirt that may be worn afternoon or evening, such colours as wine-red and bright cigar-brown may be recommended, and are a pleasant change from black. Blouses of net to match and of cream- coloured lace Should be provided, and the toilettes will thus prove suitable to various occasions'. A pretty shapeliness is given to the figure if the corselet is raised higher at the back than in front, the low front. being especi- ally becoming to stout figures. A last year's dress that requres touching up to bring it up to date might be altered by sacrificing the bodice (if it has worn shabby) to the purpose of a draped corselet belt and sewing this to the skirt, a long-sleeved blouse of. net completing the utility dress. Summer Ruffles. Those to whom money is no object complete their summer toilettes with dainty boas of ostrich feathers in delicate colours but others, less well endowed, must needs substitute some- thing cheaper for the costly plumage, and will find what they want in neck-ruffles of chiffon or ribbon, scarves of plain or printed gauze, and so on. These, worn with a style and a grace, can prove very charming substitutes for feathei-s,and compensate one for the absence of the more extravagant article. A chiffon or tulle ruffle, worn close round the neck, and tied with satin-ribbon of a wide width, is sufficient to elevate a simple dress to the realm of smartness. A novel way in which some of the summer ruffles are made is with ribbon and tulle, or chiffon, pleated to equal lengths and joined to- gether, half of the ruffle being of ribbon, half of tulle. Another pretty fashion is the ruffle of cream chiffon, or eolienne, edged with black, blue or mauve ribbon and finished with a flower rosette and tasselled ends. This ruffle (sketched among other trifles on this, page) is also pretty in black, tipped with narrow lace. The Peter Pan collar sketched is of lace and muslin, and may be worn as a turn-over to the neck of a blouse or coat. Above it is a high collar of tucked muslin, ruffled with similar material or with chiffon, such as can be bought by the yard ready ruffled or pleatt d. Near by will be seen a fashionable little neck-bow of hem-stitched muslin, for wearing with morning shirts, and below is a jabot of fine cambric, frilled and finished with a ribbon bow and ball-ends.

DIED ON TRAM CAR. A sudden death took place on Wednesday on the top of a tramcar in Corporation-road, Car- diff. About 8.30 a respectably-dressed man complained to a passenger sitting near him of severe pains in the stomach, and a moment later fell back unconscious. The car was stopped opposite Dr. Smith's house, and the latter at once attended the man and pro- nounced life to be extinct. The body was conveyed to Dr. Smith's house, while the police were summoned with the ambulance. It is surmised that heart failure was the cause of death. The body was identified at the mortuary as that of George Westgate Perry, a smith em- ployed by Messrs Neale and West. He was taken ill whilst at his work at the docks, and was on his way to his home in Cornwall-road, Saltmead, when he died. The deceased was a married man with a large family.

The Morals of Merthyr. DRUNKENNESS AMONG WOMEN. The Policing of Cyfarthfa Grounds. A meeting of the Merthyr Watch Committee was held on Wednesday evening, the Mayor (Alderman Wilson) presiding. The Chief Con- stable reported that the number of indictable offences committed during the past quarter was 111 as against 82 for the previous three months. The number of persons proceeded against for non-indictable offences during the past quarter was 917, an increase on the pre- vious quarter of 240. Of this total, 364 were proceeded against for drunkenness-an increase of 56 on the previous quarter. Alderman D. W. Jones said that the report of the Chief Con- stable showed that 62 women had been sent to prison during the past quarter. This seemed a large number, and he should like to know what were the offences. The Chief Constable Twenty-five were sent to prison for prostitu- tion. Alderman D. W. Jones Has the Chief Constable reason to think that things are worse in Merthyr than they were ? One hears rumours in the town that the state of things is getting worse, and that people are holding up their hands in horror and bewailing drunkenness among young women. The Chief Constable said that the majority of the 25 women referred to were old offenders who had a large number of con- victions against them. Alderman D. W. Jones: Perhaps the police are more vigilant than they used to be. The Chief Constable: i should like you to think they are. Alderman D. W. Jones I am told that a large number of young girls are walking the streets late at night for no good purpose. The Chief Con- stable remarked that the number of girls under 20 who were known prostitutes and who had been convicted was less than five, and these were now in prison. Cyfarthfa Policing Arrangements. The Chief Constable in his monthly report stated that particular attention had been given to the policing of the Cyfarthfa Castle grounds, and owing to the large crowds which had visited the park and the amount of damage committed on the 6th ult., he deemed it necessary to send a special staff of men there. Twenty-two persons were reported by the police and proceeded against for damage, &c., done on that day. Since that time the absence of any officials of the Corporation after 6 o'clock in the evening had necessitated the service of from four to six officers in doing the work of park attendants. He pointed out that this was not within the scope ot police duties. On the motion of Alder- man Morrell, it was resolved to call the atten- tion of the Parks Committee to the fact that policemen could not be allowed to act as park attendants. Separate Quarter Sessions. The Town Clerk submitted a report with reference to the question of a separate Quarter Sessions for Merthyr. He stated that apart from the advantage from a financial point of view the holding of a separate Court for Mer- thyr would be a great convenience to the inhabi- tants and would facilitate the administration of.justlce. The Borough Controller explained that under the present arrangement the cost to the borough was 13w. He estimated the expenditure which would follow the granting of a separate Quarter Sessions at GZ57. Should the borough be granted a separate Sessions com- pensation would have to be paid to the county, but as against that compensation the borough would receive fines which were now paid to the county, and amounted to about £400 per annum.—The Mayor It would be to our ad- vantage to get a separate Quarter Sessions. We have a police force second to none in South Waks.-Alderman D. W. Jones said it was clear from the borough controller's statement that the borough would gain financially by having a separate Quarter Sessions. While they had in Merthyr an excellent bench of magis- trates who took care to fine people pretty sub- stantially (laughter)—they would succeed in getting the money which now went to the county, and which would more than counter- balance what the borough would have to pay the county by way of compensation. On the motion of the Mayor, it was resolved to recom- mend the Borough Council to petition his Majesty the King in favour of granting a separate Quarter Sessions for Merthyr. On the recommendation being made by the Chief Constable to fill the vacancy in the force by appointing a young man 21 years of age, Alderman D. W. Jones said that he had beard remarks made by magistrates and others that one of the faults of the Merthyr police force was that there were too many young men in it. The Chief Constable said that he was very pleased with the young men who were in the force. Alderman D. W. Jones They have not got the dignity that older officers have. The committee appointed the applicant recom- mended by the Chief Constable. Reference was made to the overcrowding of Merthyr trams, and it was resolved that the Chief Constable take proceedings whenever he notices a flagrant breach of the bye-laws deal- ing with overcrowding. Sunday Trading. A letter referred by the Council to the com- mittee was read, conveying a resolution adopted at a Nonconformist conference held at Pontypridd, calling attention to the deplorable desecration of the Sabbath, and asking for the support and co-operation of the Council to put down Sunday trading, Sunday concerts and secular meetings, choir rehearsals, and Sunday newspaper buying and reading. Councillor T. Williams said that the letter was referred to the Watch Committee because the other com- mittees would have nothing to do with it. He moved that the letter be laid on the table. Councillor D. John seconded.—The Mayor I think that a good deal of Sunday trading can be put down.—Alderman Berry You cannot put it down as long as the fine is so small.—Alderman D. W. Jones remarked that the putting into effect of the resolution of the conference would be inter- fering with the liberty of the subject. Alder- man Morrell said that meetings had recently been held in Merthyr and district on Sunday that could not have been held on any other day. Councillor T. Williams said that there were many widows who kept open their shops. on Sunday as a means of livelihood. The Mayor moved that the police officers in the various districts should make a list of those who opened their shops on Sundays and visit them with the object of trying to prevail upon them to close. Alderman Berry seconded, and remarked that it was like a fair in some places in the borough on Sunday. On a division the original motion was adopted.

FEARFUL ECZEMA FROM BABYHOOD F 4) J 0 Until 8 Years Old-Face First Af- fected, Then Body—Eyes Almost Hidaen—Legs a Mass of Humour -Clothes Stuck Fast to Flesh- Parents Fought Disease in Vain. r ANOTHER GREAT CURE EFFECTED BY CUTICURA "At the age of three months I first commenced to suffer from eczema which t started on the forehead as a red patch. This gradually broke out in spots and in time spread all over my face. Vari- ous remedies were tried, but without success. I then commenced treating according to the doctor's orders, out not much but without success. I then commenced treating according to the doctor's orders, out not much e good was done. After a few months of this, the disease began to spread all over my face and my parents tell me that at this stage my eyes were like looking into holes, as the spots were so bad. Eventually the disease left my face only to break out in other parts of my body. They tried medi- cines, herbs and soaps, and in fact any- thing that was recommended. "This trouble went on until I was eight years old. At that age my par- ents decided to give the Cuticura Reme- dies a trial. When they were first used, the condition I was in must have been extra bad, as they tell me they had to peel my shirt from my back, as it used to stick to the sores. My lejjs were a solid mass of eczema from the inside to the calf. My stockings used to stick every day and they had to be pulled off along with the spots. I had to wear gloves to keep me from scratching the sores. The first night Cuticura was used I slept all night, which was a thing I had not done for some time. An improvement could be seen immediately and after using three sets of Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent I was practically cured. Cuticura Soap was continued for about twelve months when I was quite free and my skin clear again. This is twenty years &go now ana I have never suf- fered since. George A.

Temperance Training. INSTRUCTION IN DAY SCHOOLS. South Wales Association's Activities. Meetings of the South Wales and Monmouth- shire Temperance Association were held at Salem (C.M.) Chapel, Pencoed, on Wednesday. At a conference in the afternoon, Mr W. L. Daniel, J.P., of Merthyr, presiding, a discus- sion took place on the Temperance Training of Youth." The Chairman believed that special attention should now be paid to this question, as the country generally at last seemed to recognise that the principles of the Temperance party were right. The Rev. T. Powell, of Cwmdare, who form- ally introduced the subject, said that the temperance training of youth commenced with the Band of Hope movement in 1847. The association had been trying to get temperance instruction introduced into the schools of South Wales, and had paid special attention to Glamorgan. Barry had for some time given such instruction, and the desires of the associa- tion had been conceded practically throughout the county, with the notable exception, until .recently at any rate, of Neath. The Associa- tion had also sent a request to Monmouthshire, and had actually had better results there than in Glamorgan, for the Monmouthshire Educa- tion Committee had taken the 'matter up. At' Cardiff, also, facilities had been given for lectures in the schools. Mr Powell referred with approval to the syllabus on temperance instruction recently issued by the Board of Education, and moved a resolution welcoming it. Dr. A. Da vies, of Barry, seconded the motion, which was supported by the Rev. Hugh Jones (Llanelly), Dr. R. T. Williams, the Rev. T. Parry (Llansamlet), and others, and carried. Dr. Williams remarked that it wag ^n open secret that the syllabus of the Board of Education was very much stronger when at first drawn up, but those interested in the liquor trade had succeeded in getting it toned down. At a meeting of the executive of the associa- tion the report of the secretary (the Rev. Morris Morgan) was read. He referred to a letter which Sir Herbert Roberts had written to the association, suggesting that the news- papers might bring to the notice of the public the fact that the Board of Education syllabus might be obtained from Messrs Wyman and Sons for twopence.

ENGLISH, PLEASE." Appeal at a Carmarthen Town's Meeting. A town's meeting was held at Carmarthen on Tuesday night, the mayor, Mr J. Crossman, presiding, to make preliminary arrangements for the National Eisteddfod, to be held at Carmarthen in 1911. The Rev. W. D. Rowlands was proceeding to speak in Welsh when the Mayor appealed, English, please." The minister asked if it was absolutely necessary, and the Mayor replied. Yes, for some people present." Rev.W. D. Rowlands I thought the Eisteddfod was a Welsh institution to be con- ducted in Welsh. But I can talk a little English-sufficient to make myself understood. Mr P. J. Whelpon thought the guarantors should unite into one of strong Eisteddfodic spirit from all over Wales, if necessary, and especially from the three joint counties. It was not to be a Carmarthen Eisteddfod, but a National Eisteddfod, held at Carmarthen. The Ven. Archdeacon Evans said that more of the townspeople should be invited to become guarantors. There should not be a person in Carmarthen, or indeed in the county, who should not get the opportunity of having a voice in the appointment of a Central Com- mittee. The meeting was adjourned with a recommendation to the guarantors to co-opt outsiders at a subscription fee of £ 1 Is.

—said a lady the other day I have been using Fels-Naptha soap the Fels-Naptha way for five years. I have recom- mended it to scores of my friends. Some of them use it the Fels-Naptha way, and they have kept to it ever since. But the others have been stubborn. They would go on in their own way with. boiling water, and of course they have given Fels-Naptha up, because that isn't the Fels-Naptha way. You see the point If you will only be persuaded to use Fels-Naptha soap the Fels-Naptha way, you will keep to it. But if you use it your own way, with boiling water, please don't blame the soap. Try it Fels-Naptha way next washing day. Money back if you wish. There! Fels-Naptha s The soap with a Way of its own. j
