Thomas, jobbing gardener, of 7, Chapel- street, Mochdre, with assart, John Thomas also summoned William Pritchard for assault- ing him on the same occasion. Mr. T. H Morgan appeared on behalf of John Thomas, who pleaded not guilty." Pritchard also pleaded not guilty to the counter sum- mons. Pritchard stated that on Saturday night, November 9th, he was walking from Mochdpe to Colwyn Bay, about 6 o'clock, and when near the Old Groes Smithy he heard someone calling him and his father nicknames. It was the defendant, who asked him "Would you like to know the odds?" and without further warning struck him on the cheek. He (com- plainant) thereupon struck b;:¡r'k to defend him- self. He also kicked the defendant, who was -very dangerous, and would have murdered him but' for his self-defence. John Thomas denied having assaulted com- plainant. On the nisrht in question, as he •was 'walking to Mochdre. when passing the entrance to the woods near the gasworks some- one lumped out and struck him in the mouth. breaking a tooth, and also kicked him in the abdomen, and then ran away.

A CHARMING REVIVAL.
A CHARMING REVIVAL. AN ECHO OF OLD TIMES.—I am delighted to be able to record the fact that some of the best- dressed women in town are reviving a charming mode of the mid-eighteenth century. This modo consists of black velvet bands for throat and wrists, to be worn with an evening gown. In some cases the bands are perfectly plain, merely a strap of black velvet ribbon of good quality tied round the throat and wrists, and finished with a dainty little prim bow; but when the wearer happens to be the fortunate possessor of pretty, old-fashioned pearl or diamond orna- ments these are often sewn on to both throat and wrist ribbons, and give a. delightfully quaint touch to the to let. Nothing could be more be- coming than this old-world mode, for tho black velvet shews up to perfection the whiteness of a. beautiful round throat, while it softens in verv kindly fashion necks which are over thin or in- clined to sallov.ness. I must not forget to tell you, by the way, that with these neck and wrist ribbons is generally worn a similar ribbon in the hair. The black velvet is threaded carelessly through the waves and curls of the coiffure, and tied in a pretty bow in front.
A HANDSOME NEWSPAPER RACK.
A HANDSOME NEWSPAPER RACK. SEASONABLE GIFTS AGAIX.- You will think mv mind runs very persistently on the subject of Christmas presents; but I am so often besought for ideas on the subject that I thought two or three suggestions of the kind might prove generally useful to my readers. This week I want to tell you of a handsome and useful news- paper rack which might serve as a present for either one's men or women friends. The foun- dation of this newspaper receptacle is a square of very thick and strong cardboard, or a piece of thin but well-seasoned wood. This square is covered with some pretty material—brocade, vel- vet, silk. linen, or even cretonne if the present be intended for a lady; serge, cloth. or leather- preferably the last—if a man be the intended re- cipient. The edges are now bound with a nice galon or braid, or in the case of leather the bind- ing may be replaced by brass-headed nails driven in close together. Across the front of the covered square is now stretched tightly a six or seven inch wide strip of embroidery (in the leather example repousse leather should be sub- stituted for the embroidery), through which the papers are thrust. Two knots of ribbon at the sides, and two ends finished with a bow at the top, serve for hanging purposes, and complete this useful and pretty affair. Fringed thongs of leather should replace the ribbons when leather is employed for the covering.

.-PARLIAMENTARY NiGHT AT COLWYN…
PARLIAMENTARY NiGHT AT COLWYN BAY. The fortnightly meeting of the Colwyn Bay and District Liberal Association, on Friday took the form of a Parliam^ntray night. Mr. Eiiwood was elected Speaker. Mr. John Crompton took the part of Prime Minister, Mr Oswald Jones Home Secretary, Mr Roger Davies President of the Loc .1 Government Board, and Mr S. T. Frost Chief Secretary for Ireland. The Opposition was led by Mr S. Olynne- Jones, supported by Mr. Gordon Coulter as Mr. Austen Chamberlain. The Leader of the Opposition asked the First Commissioner of Works if his attention had been drawn to the disgraceful state of the •Colwyn Bay roads; also, when, if ever, will the roads be put into a respectable state of repair; and, when that :s done, how long will the roads be left without being pulled up again ? The President of the Local Government 'Board replied to the effect that the bad state of the Colwvn Bay roads was largely due to the weather (laughter). The Chief Secretary for Ireland then intro- duced an Irish Council Bill. The Bill was opposed bv the Leader of the Opposition, and his colleagues of tho Front Opposition Bench, while the Prlme 'Minister andl other members of the Government were strong in support of the Bill, among others taking part in the debate being Messrs. David Thomas, T. J. Dowell, junior (who crossed the floor of the house), Hugh Owen, and J. Pen- nington, of Wa'kde-n, formerly of Rochdale. The President of the Local Government Board moved the closure, and the Bill was read for the first time by an overwhelming majority.
I ;HOME AND FASHION. I---
HOME AND FASHION. A LETTER FOR MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS. BY MADAME ROSE. YELLOW IN FASHION AGAIN. BRUNETTES, and even blonde? of a certain type, will welcome the news that various tones of yellow will bo extremely fashionable dur- ing1 the •next few months, more especially for evening gowns and smart rc-c option dresses. Of all the many vellow shades with which the shops are already flooded. I think the prettiest are corn colour, apricot, and palo lemon. The first is a warm, rich shade, with just a suggestion in its composition of the sunburnt gold which comes over the corn immediately be- fore harvest. Apricot, as expressed this year in satin, silk. ninon, and tulle. is an exquisite shade, which sets off to perfection beauty of the real brunette type. Lemon-yellow, however, contrary to many folks' ideas, is extraordinarily becoming to some fair women, more particularly to the type with pale gold hair and grey eyes, and is a lovely, ethereal shade, which looks especially well at night.
,A DAINTY LACE FICHU.
A DAINTY LACE FICHU. PRETTIES FOR CHRISTMAS.—Among the very prettiest and most practical of the many dainty dress accessories which are always such a feature of shop-window displays at Christmastide are the lace or net fichus, intended to be worn over afternoon or evening blouses. These are very various in both size and cost, some of them being merely up-to-date developments of the old- fashioned fichu of fifteen years back, intended to be draped over the shoulders and knotted in front: others so elaborate as to be almost blouses in themselves, and to require nothing beneath them but the very simplest of silk or net slips. But even these more elaborate affairs are distinctly economical investments, for they can be worn over any and every kind of blouse, and can be made at home by the deft-fingered woman at small cost, more especially if she utilise sale remnants or, perhaps, the trimmings of a defunct evening gown for the purpose. One of the prettiest models I have yet seen was car- ried out in imitation Irish crochet of a rather fine kind, and was bound all round the edges with a narrow strapping of black satin, ths satin being of a very soft weave and siightly dull surface. The fichu itself consisted of four wide bands of the crochet, each, of course, hav- ing the satin edging, which were loosely draped over the shoulders and arms, and were drawn together in front under a huge knot of the satin. At the back the four bands were held in place by a big jet buckle, edged with a narrow quil- ling of the satin, the long ends of the lace being allowed to hang down in sa-sh fashion almost to the hem of the skirt. Worn over an ivory net slip the effect was extremely good, the touch of black being quite in the latest mode, and giving an enviably smart finish to the entire toilet.
A PRETTY COAT FOR A CHILD.
A PRETTY COAT FOR A CHILD. WARM AND COSY.—I noticed in one of the West-End shops a day or two ago a particularly pretty little coat for a child about six or eight years old. On making inquiries I found that this chic little garment was a French model just arrived from Paris, and was-quite the newest and smartest thing in tho French capital. The material in which the coat was realised was a fine, supple cloth of moderate weight, and of a. charming shade of bishop's purple. The coat fastened down the front, and for a third of ita length was edged on either side by a band of plain material, which finished in a pointed end. Round the shoulders oamo a sort OT tight-fitting p cape; ornamented with three or four narrow strappings of cloth, each strapping being finished with a. smart button covered with embroidered satin. From beneath this cape came simple full sleeves, finished with gauntlet cuds of the satin, edged with a strapping of the material, the turn- down collar being treated in similar fashion. Below the cape and under the sleeve came three more narrow strappings of the cloth, with the button adorned ends, the whole series of straps giving the effect of a very deep yoke or shore corsage. Beneath tho lowest strapping tho fulness of tho coat was set on to the upper part in a succession of rather wide box-pleats, which were well pressed but not stitched down and opened slightly towards the hem. A simple but extremely modish little garment of practical de- sign and very charming and childlike appear- ance.
TO REPLACE THE TASSEL.
TO REPLACE THE TASSEL. A NEW-PE-,DANT.-Are we, I wonder, getting just a wee bit tired of the ubiquitous tassel? It has been so extensively used upon every kind and style of garment, from a tiny cravat to a gorgeous opera cloak, that I am surprised it has retained its popularity for so long. I notice, however, that on many of the newest cloaks and coats. especially those intended for evening wear, the tassel is being replaced by rather a novel form of pendant. This consists of a big ball of velvet, almost as large as a Tangerine orange, covered with a lattice-work of silver braid, and hung from a silver cord of substantial thickness. Three or four of these balls aro grouped to- gether, and form r, very handsome and effective trimming for the front of an opera coat or to weight the points and hood of one of the new circular cloaks which are so fashionable tr.:s winter. The velvet with which the balls are eovc-od. J must tell you. should either match tho cloak itself in cciour or the lining.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. "Miss BEL^—I should cut off the torn edgo of your lace gown, and replace it by a twelve or fifteen inch band of soft satin, making a new waistband with long sash ends, and fresh corsage knots of the same satin, and you will find that you are the possessor of a practically new gown. As you are dark, and the gown is a warm ivory, I would suggest apricot as a suitable and very laodieii shade for the purpose.
ANAEMIA CURED.
ANAEMIA CURED. Anaemia in the broad meaning is a short way of exnressing low vitality; in the nearer sense it implies impoverished blood. When we un- derstand, how'ever, that "impoverished" means poisoned," we realise better all that is com- prised in the terrible word anaemia. Get the poison out of the blood, and then the work of nerve and tissue building can be. undertaken with confidence. The secretive and cleansing organs should be strengthened, and the blood supplied with the red corpuscles which form its beneficient garrison against the attacks of disease. Let the sufferer adopt a course of nourishing diet and fresh air with tonic doses of th" following mixture .after each meal and at bedtime :—Concentrated Infusion of Gentian 1 oz., Xitrax Compound 1 oz., Dandelion Juice 2 oz?. Cinnamon Water 2 07. Two tea- spoonfuls in a wineglass of water is a dose. Any chemist will dispense this recipe or supply the ingredients. the
- MOTORIST HEAVILY FINED j
MOTORIST HEAVILY FINED RECKLESS DRIVING THROUGH COLWYN IBA Y. At the Colwyn Bay Petty Sessions on Satur- day, before Henry Kneeshaw, Esq., and other magistrates, Henry Christopher Pearson, 31, Shakespere-road, Bedford, was summoned by P.C. Robert Evans for driving a motor-car along Abergele-road without lights, and with driving fcis motor car recklessly. Mr. Moseley, ofl Denbigh, appeared for the defendant, and Mr. Crabbe for the podice. Defendant pleaded guilty to the charge of driving without lights, 0 and "not guilty" to the charge of reckless- ness. John Roberts, of Erskine-road, a vanman in John Roberts, of Erskine-road, a vanman in the employ of Mr. S. Evans, baker, etc., Col- wyn Bay, stated that on Sunday night, Novem- ber 17th, he was standing on the footpath be- tween Greenfield-road and Erw Wen-road. op- posite the North Wales Cycle Co.'s shop, when he saw a motor car coming from the direction of Old Colwyn. The car carried neither head nor tail lights, and was being driven at a reckless speed. P.C. Robert Evans stated that about 9.30 he was on duty at the top of Station-road. He noticed a motor car coming from the direction of Abergele. He put his hand up, and the car stopped. He asked the driver why he was travelling without lights, and he said he had not noticed that they were out. Samuel Johnston, Fernbank, organising sec- retaryf to the Colwyn Bay branch of the Y.M.C.A., said he was stand-ing on the foot- path near Stead and Simpson's shon saying Good-night" to some friends, when he heard a rushing noise, and before he realised what it was a motor car passed within a few feet of where he was standing. The rush of air caused by the car w-as so strong that he had to put up his-h.a-nd to prevent his hat being blown off. Mrj Osborn (a magistrate) Did you hear bad language? Mr. Johnston I should not .like to repeat the language used by the gentleman. Mr. Lumley: Gentleman? The Chairman Do you see the man who used the bad language here? Mr. Johnston He looks like the gentleman there (pointing to defendant). Mr. Lumley: Don't call him a. gentleman. Call him the defendant. Robert Jackson, of Hillside, coal merchant, said he was outside the Y.M.C.A. Rooms, when he heard something coming, and ex- claimed: "Goodness gracious, what's ora'n-T along here?" 3 Mr. MoseJey; What rate of speed was the car going? Mr. Jackson: Well, according to my ex- perience of speed, both ashore and afloat— watching the mail trains: pass through the station and lying with still engines, while tor- pedo boats have been passing-I should ray 20 to 22 miles an hour. Henry Chistopher Pearson, the defendant, said he was the owner of the car. His lamps were alight before he entered Colwyn Bay; and they were of 3,000 candle power. He saw the constable hoild up his hand about 50 yards ahead. He did not know why he put his hand up, but he slowed down and pulled up about 40 yards past the constable, and he then found that the headlights were out, and he had them re-lighted before the constable came up. Nothing was said about driving at a. reck- less pace. There were two other occupants of the car-a Mr. Brownfield and his son. They were going at about ten miles an hour. Mr. Lumley When did you light the lttmps in the first place? Defendant: At Chester, about 7 o'clock. Douglas Harold Brownfield, of Leigh, Staffordshire, one of the occupants of the car, said in his opinion the car was going through Ccilwyn Bay at about a miles an hour. It was not being driven recklessly. The Chairman, after consulting with the other justices, said they had decided to inflict La, fine of J310 and costs for driving in a reck- less manner, -and 1£1 and costs for having no I lights. Mr. Crabbe applied for the cost of obtaining a certificate of a previous conviction against the defendant at St. Asaph, 10s, an advocate's fee of 10s 6d in each case, and witnesses' fees. These costs were granted. Mr. Moseley gave formal notice of appeal.

UNFIT FOR BUSINESS. "I scarcely closed my eyes in sound sleep for weeks, and though always worn out and de- pressed, I dreaded bedtime more than I can tell. As soon as I lay down I had awful pains j under my shoulders and a nasty irritation in my throat which caused a hacking cough that all but shook me to pieces. My weakness in- creased, and I had to get other assistance to keep my business going. Kidney troubles and Acute Sciatica developed, and I was in despair. "At last I determined to try Dr Williams' Pink Pills. I was overjoyed to find I could take them quite easily and without any un- pleasant after-effects. I persevered with the pills, and soon -got great relief. The Indiges- tion disappeared, and all its pains. Th& Sciatica and Kidney trouble gradually went away, my appetite became excellent, I slept well, and I was able to return to work with full vigour. I became quite well and strong again. I am getting on in years, but since I discovered the value of Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People I fear no illness."

LLANRWST UNION
LLANRWST UNION APPOINTMENT OF MASTER AND MATROX. Mr John Roberts, Pentrefoelas, presided over a special meeting of the Llanrwst Board of Guardians on Tuesday morning. The chief and only business of the meeting was to appoint a master and matron in succession to Air and Mrs Thomas, who are leaving to take up simi- lar duties at Wrexham. Twenty-nine applica- tions had been received. The sub-committee, which had been considering those applications, recommended the following names to the Board from which to make a final setecuon Mr and Mrs J. H. Robert- Penrhyndeudraeth; Mr Roberts being now engaged as a porter at the Penrhyn Workhouse; Mr W. Daniel Davies, engine driver, and Mrs Davies, Bryn Llew- elvn, Penmach.no; Mr Edward Hughes and Mrs Hughes, nurse and porter at the Holywell Workhouse and Mr H. Gray Parry and Mrs Parry, Tre Dawel, Blaenau Fest-iniog. The four parties were interviewed by the Board, and every one proved to be abstainers. When the question was given to the vote (by ballot) the result was as follows:—Mr and Mrs Hughes, 15; Mr and Mrs Parry, 7: Mr and Mrs Ro- berts, 4, and Mr and Mrs Davies, 3. Mr and >; vs Hughes having had a clear majority of the Board, the question put, from the chair, was unanimously agreed to as a substantive motion. 1Ir and Mrs Hughes were called to the room, and acquainted of their appointment by the Chairman. He congratulated them upon the trust imposed in them, and hoped that the Guardians would never have any cause to re- gret the course they had taken. Thcy were following excellent officials, and if they did as we11 as iMr and Mrs Thomas had done, everything would go on right.

WHAT FOLLOWED A CHILL.
WHAT FOLLOWED A CHILL. "Of course, I have not had an absolutely un- interrupted life of work," he added. "For in- stance, I remember once being so ill that my strength went, and I couldn't keep going then. Indeed, I doubt had it not been for Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills for Pale People whether I should be here to tell you how my illness be- gan and ended. "I first caught a chill through being in a draught. Then I had a long spell of sneezing, with a dizzy heaviness in my head, which was particularly distressing when I stooped over my work. My appetite went off completely, and I turned against food. At breakfast, din- ner and supper it was always the same—no appetite. My face grew sunken and thin, and my eyes looked glassy they also became very weak and watered as I worked in the heat of the forge. I strove hard to keep going, but looking so closely after business I neglected myself un- til my ill- ness had taken a very firm hold of me, and every morsel of nourish- ment dou- bled me up with sharp cutting pains of Indigestion across my chest and back. My arms grew weak, and instead of wielding the hammer easily I could only Taise it for a few ;strokes. Then the sweat poured out of my body, and weakness compelled me to set all mv work aside.
CURIOUS COMPENSATION CASE
CURIOUS COMPENSATION CASE CAN A MAN BE FORCED TO UNDERGO AN OPERATION. At Bangor, on Monday, before His Honour Judge Moss, Mr. James Porter applied on behalf of Messrs. Darbishires, Limited, to re- duce the amount of compensation awarded by the court in April last to Edward Hughes, one of the Darbishires' employees, who, in oonse- quence of an injury sustained at the quarries, had to have his foot amputated. The amount oi compensation awarded was 10s per week. In opening the case, Mr. Porter restated the facts of the case, which were fully reported at the time, amongst them being the facts that Messrs. Darbishire bore the cost of the ampu- tation expenses and also the cost of a kneeling pin. This, however, Hughes refused to use, as it, he said, hurt him. Messrs. Darbishire, however, on professional advice, strongly ad- vised Hughes to use the kneeling pin. But, in the meantime, some adhesions had formed. But still by a treatment, which hardly deserved the name of operation, these adhesions could be released, and the kneeling pin could be giadually used, and in time the man would be able to work and earn better wages at the quarry than he was getting now by way of compensation. This was not a question of money with 'Messrs. Darbishire but they thought it best in the man's own interest to get into a condition to work instead of allowing himself to lapse and become a cripple. 'Mr. Charles H. Darbishire, Mr. M'CIement, and Dr. Price gave evidence in support of the application. Mr. Twigge Ellis, who appeared for the re- spondent, said Hughes was a quarry labourer, and earned about 22s. a week. Mr. Darbishire, replying to his 'Honour, said they had a man similarly situated to Hughes, who, after wearing the kneeling pin, was able to work and earn about 22s a week. Mr. Twigge Ellis, continuing, said Hughes had tried his best to use the kneeling pin, and found it impossible. Continuing, Mr. Twigge Ellis said there was nothing in the Compensa- tion Act to compel a man to undergo an opera- tion. His Honour said there was hardly a sugges- tion of an operation. If he found .a man with a stiff arm who refused tqt have it bent he should stop his money if a referee declared there was no danger in the a4t. While the respondent was in the box, his Honour asked if this was not a case for a medical referee. He had formed his owr opinion on the case, and he certainly thought it was a medical case. Mr. Twigge Ellis I should like you to heai my medical witness. His Honour He will say something different to the other medical man (laughter). However. I will hear all you have to say. After further hearing, his Honour reduced the award to 2s per week, suspending the order, however, for three months, with tV view to giving the respondent an opportunity of consulting Dr. Robert Jones, of Liverpool.
!DAINTY SHOES.
[ much struck with the preponderance of gold and I silver in the more dressy type of slipper. Some of the shoes are entirely made of this gilt or sil- vered leather, and have as sole ornament a wee buckle of the same metal or a tiny crystal orna- ment at the toe, depending for their effect on their beautiful cut and sparkling appearance. And talking of cut, I must tell you that the fav- ourito shape this year is a sort of Court shoe, with a little square "yoke," as it were, rour.1 the foot, and a toe of elegant but not over-long proportions; the heel. even when of the Louis type, being equally moderate in height and size. But to return to our dancing slippers. An ex- tremely pretty model is carried out in white silk, alternately striped with bands of gold and silver, and finished with the daintiest little buckle in the shape of a true Lover's knot of gilt metal set with sparkling paste. In black shoes, the much- jetted variety are in the greatest demand, and I notice that the jet employed is much more in the form of faceted "stones," as it were, than in the familiar small jet bead with which we are so weil acquainted. The facets of the jet catch the light, and make the shoe sparkle in most de- lightful fashion.
