] HOME AND FASHION. ) j A LETTER FOR MOTHERS AND | J DAUGHTERS. | BY MADAME ROSE. 1: I ,-I ) I I IS I A CONVERTIBLE GOWN. UITE the most useful of gowns just now is one that can be made to do duty both for smart afternoon wear and for evenings. Many of us, I think, have recollections of the fearsome evening garments worn some fifteen or twenty years ago, which professed, by addition of lace guimpe, J to be capable of transformation into charm- j' ing afternoon frocks. Alas they were always and very patently evening dresses, r/uimpe or not. j But the convertible gowns of this winter of 1905 | have nothing in common with such dowdy gar- i ments. Worn in the afternoon, they have the I exact appearance of a smart reception frock; and when promoted to evening gaiety seem to have been made solely and entirely for such occasions. Quite the most suitable material for a "transformation" dress is velvet or velveteen of some rich, beautiful shade becoming to the individual wearer. The bodice might be made in the fashionable cross-over shape—a style that lends itself admirably to such treatment, by the f way; with sleeves consisting of one full puff to the elbow. For dressy day occasions a detach- able yoke and collar band of guipure or Irish crochet should be provided, deep enough to oome well below the lowest point of the open- j ing between the crossed fronts. Detachable under-sleevcs of similar lace may also be used if liked; but now that elbow sleeves are such a feature »f our attire the under-sleeves are ourely a matter of taste. When the gown is to be worn for dinner, or ^rne other festive occa- sion, the yoke and sleeves are taken out and the over-deep decolletage filled in in front by a dainty chemisette of gauged and ruffled tulle. The skirt of such a gown should, of course, be quite simple, either perfectly plain over the hips or gathered on to the waistband and allowed to fall in rich, soft folds to the feet. The gown should be very long all round, and slightly trained at the back. It is the most terrible of mistakes to attempt to abbreviate the skirt of a I velvet frock; the result is too dreadful to contemplate.

EARLY WINTER MILLINERY. THE HIGH CROWN AGAIN.—The most dis- tinctive feature of the new winter hats is the increased importance of the crown. Many of the croons, indeed, are so large as quite to dwarf the brim and trimmings of the hat. Such 'm exaggeration is both ugly and unbecoming, but a moderately high crown is certainly 'very smart in effect, while it accords curiously well with some types of face. Orw of the most popular models for the moment is the glorified boat- shape. I saw a charming affair of this kind a day or two ago. Of the finest and softest felt, in a lovely shade of delicate grey, the hat had a high "coachman's" crown and a wide rolled-up brim. Beautiful shaded tones of amethyst vel- vet draped the crown in soft folds. On the left side the brim was pierced to admit of the quill of a long ostrich feather being passed through, which feather shaded from grey to a deep ame- thyst at the tip. Another pretty hat, in pale blue felt, for morning wear. had a wide, up- turned brim bound with black velvet, a round crown encircled by a. black velvet band, and a I black and blue wing perched on the brim-a very smart and jaunty affair. A third hat that greatly took my fancy was of pale biscuit beaver with a distinct tinge of orange in its j tone. The hat and crown, arranged in three draped tiers, were entirely made of the beaver cloth, the only colour relief being afforded by ivory wings, and a large black velvet knot placed under the upturned brim on the left side.

THE CRAZE FOR BEADS. AN ECHO OF BARBARIsM.-Beads and bead- work of all kinds are as much in favour this winter as during the past season. Indeed, the rage for bead necklaces seems to have grown during the autumn rather than diminished, Every smart woman one meets in town seems to be adorned with a string of beads of one kind or another, generally in a colour that tones with her gown. These necklaces are short, just long enough comfortably to encircle the neck, and the beads are generally about the size of a large pea. Mother-o'-pearl is the latest addition to these neck ornaments, and very delightful necklaces it makes, especially when strung alternately with small white crystal beads. Jet, too, is very popular this winter more particu- larly for evening wear. long glittering black chains being worn over the corsages of dclicate- hued evening gowns. Amethyst beads are ^ry fashionable, and are, in my opinion, among the very prettiest of the winter necklaces. The delicate, indescribable purple of the stone is charming, toning beautifully with white, grey, purple, and brown, and proving becoming to nearly every complexion. THE THIEF'S TEMPTER.-The craze for bead wrist-bags continues undiminished. In spite of the fact that they have already been popular for considerably over a year, they are more than ever in evidence this winter. Some of these dainty affairs are veritable works of art. many quaint old-world designs being imitated with marked suecess. As a natural sequence to the bead bag. the long narrow purse of knitted silk, dear to the hearts of our grandmothers, has re- turned once more. These purses are generally embroidered with beads, and have large lwar tassels fringing the ends. Two rings confine the pockets at either end. and make an add! tional adornment to the dainty feminine sfrairs.

"Darling," said the young husband, "I am not., and never can be. worthy of you."—I know," replied the young wife-, calmly; "but when a woman gets to be thirty-five ehe cannot afford to be too particular."

THE DEMI-SAISON. How TO ADAPT ONESELF TO THE FASHIONS.— Daily the shops become more interesting and fascinating as the autumn fashions give place to the first real winter modes. I always think that dnni-saison garments are a trifle disappointing. So few of us, comparatively speaking, can afford four new rig-outs during the year that we generally confine our attentions to the more de- fined summer and winter fashions, and leave the delights of spring and autumn garments to those endowed with longer purses. Of course the shopkeepers know this perfectly well, conse- quently demi-saison modes are usually designed for the benefit of the wealthy, and are not of paramount interest to those of us who are less richly endowed. However, the real winter fashions are here at last, and very charming most of them are. The first thing that arrests one's attention on inspecting the wonderful dis- play in the windows is the delightful effect of rich, warm colour. All the new colours have a tendency towards definition of shade and rich- ness of hue. Faint, indistinct tones are things of the past, and vivid colouring is quite the order of the day. Indeed, so gorgeous are some of the new materials that one might rival the Queen of Sheba in splendour did one so desire. Green is, perhaps, the most popular colour this winter, the two favourite shades being water- cress and "olive." But wine-reds run the greens very close in point of popularity, Bor- deaux and a peculiar Indian red called "lady- bird being first favourites. Then. too, there is quite a vogue for rich violets, a lovely new pansy shade being particularly prominent. Browns and blues are not nearly so much worn as during the early autumn, but they are, to a certain extent, always popular, and are certainly always good style. Among the browns there is a lovely shade known as nut-brown," which is much worn by very smart people. Black is less seen than it has been for many seasons, and, though the streets certainly gain in general brightness, I must say that I regret its absence, for a really well-made black costume is quite the smartest of smart garments.

HANDKERCHIEFS. QUAINT DESIGNS THEREOF. — Handkerchiefs always seem to be so very much among the minor details of dress that it is a little difficult to realise that they, as well as the more impor- tant parts of our attire, arc influenced by the dictates of Madame la Mode. But influenced they are, in quite a noticeable manner, too, following in many curious little ways the general trend of fashion. Just now, for instance, during the pronounced vogue for plaids and tartans of all descriptions, handkerchiefs have blossomed into all sorts of fanciful check designs. Pale blue, green, or pink on a white ground; dark blue and green on pale blue and green grounds; and various shades of mauve on white or pale grounds, are among the most popular checks of the moment. Some of these handkerchiefs are delightfully smart and pretty, but really to appear to advantage they should be carefully assorted in colour to the gown they accompany, and should be used strictly for morning wear. Bordered handkerchiefs are another popular fancy just now white linen centres being edged by hemstitched bands in all sorts of delicate hues. For more dressy occasions, filmy squares of lawn or batiste inserted and frilled with Val- enciennes lace are the most fashionable wear. They wash admirably, and add a dainty finish- ing touch to afternoon or evening gown.

BOOKSHELF & CUPBOARD WITH CARVED PANELS THE HOBBY OF MANY.—Woodcarving is such a popular hobby nowadays that nearly every family possesses at least one member interested in the charming art. Unfortunately, excess of zeal in its devotees sometimes leads them to adorn with carving objects that were better left plain. Seats of chairs, and tops of shelves and tables intended for the reception of ornaments, are not, in my opinion, the most suitable things for adornment. On the other hand, tnere arc all sorts of objects in the house that might be infinitely improved and enriched by appropriate and well-carved ornament. Perhaps the most suitable things for carving, as they are the s ul 1 11 easiest to execute, are the panels of doors, whether large or small. A most useful and charming addition to any bedroom is a com- bined bookshelf and cupboard, and the panels of the latter present themselves as peculiarly suitable for the carver's art. In most large towns these combination cupboards can be pur- chased ready made, when it is a very small affair to take out the panels of the doors and re- place thorn after carving. But if a ready-made cupboard cannot be obtained, the local joiner would make a simple strong affair in oak for a reasonable sum. Of course, a bookcase of this kind would be much stronger and better finished than the ready-made article, and is, I think. well worth the extra money. The cupboard should be of fair size, high enough to contain numerous bottles, &c. Over the cupboard might be arranged two shelves, the lower one to con- tain books, the upper china, ornaments, or any other treasures dear to the heart of the owner.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. ANNICE."—For your room I should certainly choose a plain paper. Your pictures and minia- tures will show to far more advantage against the unbroken surface than against any pat- terned paper, however beautifully designed. As the room is large and sunny, I should advise a green paper of a fairly deep shade. It makes the most admiraWe ef backgrounds.

A CURE FOR ASTHMA. A NOTED PHYSICIAN WILL PROVE THIS TO ALL SUFFKRiERS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM. It is but natural that the majority of Sufferers from Asthma, after trying doctors and number- less remedies without avail, have come to the conclusion that there is no cure for this most distressing disease. These same persons may still have doubt when they learn through the columns of the press that Dr Rudolph Schiff- mann, the recognised authority who has treated more cases of Asthma than any living doctor, has at last achieved success. lie has perfected a remedy which not only gives immediate relief in the worst cases, but has positively cured thousands of sufferers who were considered in- curable. These persons had previously been just as sceptical as some of our readers now are. Dr Schiffmann's remedy doubtless pos- sesses the merit which is claimed for it. or he would not extend an invitation to every sufferer to make a free personal test of it. He author- ises this paper to announce that he is not only willing to rive free to any person suffering from Asthma or Bronchitis in the United King- dom, one free liberal "trial package" of his Cure, but urgently requests all sufferers te send him their name, to whom a sample will be posted absolutely free of charge. He fears that in making the claim he docs for his Cure, a strong doubt may arise- in the minds of many, and knows that a personal test, ns he offers to all. will be more convincing and prove its merits, than thousands of Testimonials which he could publish from persons who have been permanently cured' by the use of his remedy, "Dr Schiffmann's Asthma Cure." as it is called, has been sold by most chemists for several years, although manv persons may never have heard of it and it is with a view to reaching these that he makes this offer. This is certainly a most generous and biT offer, and all who are suffer ir-s from any of the above complaints should send to Dr R. Schiffniann. British Depot, 32. Snow Hill. London, E.G. He request that von ..v.T.d him simpiv your name and ad-dress plainly on a t)o.<?tca.rd. nothingr else.

In evening, the visitors pressed hotly, a.nd Williams fawioei ran throu gh airid tested the home custodian with wiaam shots, the first of which he cleared luckOy, buit the second he cleverly disposed of; titteai' B&nigtor put in a similar attack wthidh led to ai ooirner, from which Brouigihiton raced riiglit thitouigh the home deifeaice, but, shotting wtidle, in a trilce the viie.i(torsi were driven injbo their goal; the! blacks, however, were strong, and cleared. A finie pass by Atberton to Oliver led to a centre, which was only cleared at, the expense of a corraeir, from whEch an at- Valck off blading kept Rowlands oni tinlterhooks for 3J couple of minutes, ibut the danger was t-fomehow clear. Then ai glorious cross by Humphreys was mett by Oliver, who elicited a burst of checrs by a fiire Ibwt inaccurate dlash at gtoal. 'T1h1e visitors ajgialitn attacked, boat elitott batdly. illhiey kept up a wtnonig ait.tJaick, and Roiberts ancl Sanart Arrfildigie heaJded beau- | ties right out of gdal.

On the resumption of pllay, after lemon time, the giame became fiast aired furious, and the Biantgorianls were hard put all throuigh. The visitors sutooeeded in notoching a. couple of points and! retired vKitors by three goalie to ono.

COLWYN BAY v. BANGOR. (North Wiafles Cotast League.) At CVlwyn Bay. Play start-ed with, the visitors feeing the collegia gtoail. Thie wind was too light to be am advantage to either 'K gf-l siche, and t'ne oipeiianlgi exchanges were very even. A likely opening' for Ramtgtor was spoiled by Joe Wililikilms geitting otfflsidte. From a. goad-kick Hugbiie Diavies got possession, and shot an excellent goal for Batragcr. A deter- m.ined attack by the homesters, resulted in J. Ll. Oweni sending in a sterling: lotar shot, wihich the custodian saved a.'t the foot of thte post. Half-time: Bamglor, 1; CoVwyn Ray, nil. During the second halllf of tlhie game the visitors gatnted another go(al against one scored! by liayit-es. and, therefore, the City team leift the ground with two points ini their favour, as against one fotr the homeeters.

HOLYHEAD v. BANGOR SWIFTS. A friendlv match was played between these teams at Holyhead on Saturday. The teams lined out as follow :—Holyhead Goal, Collier backs, !Evans and Ellis; halves. Taylor, Dod- 6on, and Walmsley; forwards, Magee, Hu. Jones, O. B. Edwards, W. Brown, and H. iBrown. Bangor Goal, D. J. Williams; backs, R. Thomas and G. Tynan; halves. R. Roberts, J. O. Jones, and Maholland; forwards, H. Evans, W. E. Jones, John. Francis, Ea.Tdley, and J. Lvans. Referee, Mr N. J. Campbell.' The Bangorians started with a rush, and played a verv pretty game for a few minutes, pressing hard. The Swifts, however, got into their stride. and held the upper hand through- out the game. Neither team was fully repre- sentative. but notwithstanding this a fast and at times exciting display was witnessed. Doth goals were visited in turn, and despite the heavy score, it must be said that D. J. Williams did his work well, and a weaker man would have made ai great difference. All the goals were scored by O. B. Edwards, the home cap- tain. whose clever runs were again in evidence. •Bangor deserved to score several times, and the winning margin is not a fair criterion of the teams merits. The Brothers Brown combined nicely, and made some nice openings for the home centre. H. Jones played well on the right, and Walmsley was given a hearty welcome, but had to play in an unaccustomed position. Evans and Ellis were very safe, and the redoubtable Collier had an ea>sy afternoon. Though a beaten team, Bangor worked determinedly^^ind would be formidable rivals at home.

I ALLEGED "FLOATING GROG ¡' SHOPS." THE REV H. BARROW WILLIAMS ON I SUNDAY STEAMERS. I AN AMENDMENT OF THE WELSH SUNDAY CLOSING ACT REQUIRED. j At the morning: Conference held in con- nection with the Arvon ajid Vale of Conway Temperance Association, at Llandudno, on Friday, the Rev Davidl Davies (Llandudno! presiding, the Rev Barrow Williams, Llan- dudno, who haa already energetically applied I himself to the question of Sunday drinking on pleasure steamers plying between Llandudno. Liverpool, Bangor and Oarnarvon, addressed the meeting. Many years a.go (he said) the Nonconformist ministers of Llandudno caned the attention of the local Pier Company to the evil, and in reply to the deputation who waited upon them, the Company stated they had no right to prevent pleasure steamers putting in at the pier. That might be so. but surely the Company, if they had! a. desire to end the prevailing shameful state of affairs, could charge a prohibitory rate upon all who landed on the pier from the boats (hear. hear). That, however, they would not do. Un- fortunately the pier wa.s private property. If it were the property of the town, he felt sure the evil would soon be abated. A public- meetingha-d been held in the town a few weeks previously, and the proceedings were carried in a thoroughly orderly manner. No word had been said to which objection could be raised. Then. the Pier Company's chair- man charged some of the speakers with say- ing things which were untrue. The gentle- man was given an opportunity of proving where the speakers had been over-colouring their views, but he had not yet availed him- self of the opportunity. The Sunday steamers not only radically demoralised and disgraced ) the Sabbath, but they tended to reduce the ) popularity of Bangor. Carnarvon and Llan- dudno amongst the visitors. A case had recently come to his notice where the landlady of a certain house letting apartments at Llandudno was told by eight different families that they would not come again to Llandudno on account of the Sunday steamers. Why should they suffer in that manner on account of people who frequented the steamers for the sole object of petting drink—people who afterwards insulted the young women of their towns? (hear. hear). No less than 1200 dozen bottles of beer were consumed on board the steamers every Sundav. and an extra, bar- man had to be emploved to meet the extra- ordinary demand L ("Shame"). Practically sneakintr. the Sunday steamers were nothing but floatin? crofrshops. and he questioned very much whether they would be run at all. but for the drink sold on them. The ov^stion was Whit. were they to do? From hi« heart, he thanked the Carnarvon authority for f.h" action thev h^i'd1 tplre^1 in the matter (an- nlause). If Llandudno had the same nower he could assure them that a like step would have been taken there also. n. was obvious that the Pier Company were not. prepared to meet. fhem. One thing they could do would be to keep s watch upon the vessels. H f had been personally tempted to foresro his Sunday services in order to travel bv one of the boats so that he couM see for himself how things were really ffoing on (hear. hear). A vounp- friend of his a short time rum told him of another young fellow, who-despite the fact that he was n. man of the world, not over ■particular in hisf ideae—aft<=r hplns- on one of the steamers returned to his friend savin?: I "I went to Llandiidno the oU, Surdav on hoard one of those steamers. AR von know. I I am not verv ^lu^amish but. nnver a.'min. to Jon? ns I live." Thev could' infer from tlint I what really twoent iort ifhea-r. hear). Thev wanted to know whether there were a.nv friend's who would take upon themselves the duty of takine: a trip with a view to a.scertain- ing the facte, and record them faithfully. Were that done he felt sure it would -nrove such an eve-opener to the public that the re- sult would be that the Pier Company wotild soon realise its influence (hear, hear). Another thina; they could do would be to boy- cott the steamers. He had not personally put his foot on one of the meamers for two yea rs. and that was. not because he did1 not lik" th" sea,, for he was a-9 much of a ;«ailor as flnv of them, and had never been seasick (laughter), but because he felt it his duty as a Christian minister to refuse to give the vessels bi^ support. He believed the "argumentum ad pocketum" would be a strong one (hear. hear, a.nd laughter). In the next place they should consult a solicitor as to whether the Welsh Sunday Closing Act. was applicable in case of steamers in Welsh harbours. The Secretary We have done that, and find we can do nothing in that way. The Rev Barrow Williams: Then.

The Rev E. Evans. Bangor, who spoke on the same question, said he had been assured by some of the "Bangor councillors that it was I impossible to apply a remedy to the evil. The Bangor Pier, however, wa.s public property, and he thoueht. it was the hounden dutv of the J local Council to frame a,nd enforce a. bye-law which would Preclude the landing of passengers on the TI1.ierl on Sundays (hear, hear). He recollected that when thp owners of Sunday steamers tiersisted in hnvin/- their own way in Scotland Some years anY). the whole populace of one town eot up in their thousands as a, protest aeainet the practice, and Bangor and Llandudno people should do something of the same kind to shopw that they were in earned over their convictions (hear, hear). He also believed t.hat the different Monthly Meetings and Cvmanfaoedd in Arvon should take up the matter and fhrht their utmost in so righteous a cause (applause). When he asked a man who was engaged on one of the vessels to tell him what he thought of the proceedings, the man said "It is a. hell upon earth on them." Dr Griffith Evans. Bangor, said the only solution to the difficulty was an amendment of the existing Sundav Closing Act. But be- fore su"h an amendment could be brought about they must get evidence relating to the existing evils—evidence that would stand the test of a court of inquiry. Thev should there- fore depute men representing the Association or the churches to collect the evidlence. those gentlemen to be accompanied by a lawvcr and a reporter w-ho could take notes of all seen and heard during visits* to the vessels (ap- plause). Tt 'vas eventually Tc«olved, on the motion of the Rev Barrow Williams, seconded by Dr Eva.ns. that the attention of thf( several public authorities concerned be called to the matter that every -possible support be given to anv measure which had in view the amend- ing of the Sunday Closing Act with regard to the sale of intoxicants on board ships in Welsh waters on Sundays; and that, the executive committee be authorised to consider what would be the best menns of collecting evidence as to what took place on local pleasure steamers on the Sabbath and that a copy of the resolution be forwarded to the Rector of LIandudno. and to all the Free Church Councils in the district.
