LONDON GOSSIP. THE KING AND A SOUTH COAST REISIDECNOEI. Beach House at Worthing, which the King has inspected on two, or three- occa- sious lately, was the residence of the late Dowager Lady Loder, who died in 1907, ( and it has since been unoccupied. There ¡ is some idea that the King may purchase it from Major Eustace Loder, as, hiis Maj esty is delighted with the seclusion of the house, and would prefer to have a place of his own on the South Coast, within ea,sy reach of London. Beach Houise occupies a charming position, over- looking the Channel, and is surrounded by 1 awns, and a park, having many charming and selected walks. Princess Amelia stayed at Worthing in 1797, when it first became known as a Royal health resort, but if is only in the last thirty or forty yeaxis, that the town has developed rapidly as, a watering place. A Royal residence would greatly add to its iin-, portance, and benefit not only Worthing. but also other South Coast resorts. MINISTERS' WIVES AND POLITIClS. People often wonder how much the wives of Cabinet Minilsters are familiar with the counsels, and proceedings which govern the laffairs of the country. The late Mr W. E,. Glads bone made this point clear at the outset of his political career. Shortly after hcis marriage he said to his wife, "Shall I tell you nothing and you can then say everything? Or shall I tell: you everything, and you can say noth- ing?" Mrs Gladstone chose the latter alternative, and never made a mistake with respect to the confidence reposed in (her. MR W. E;. GLADSTONE'S FAVOURITE GRANDCHILD. Miss, Dorothy Drew, the favourite- grandchild of the late Mir W. Ei. Glad- stone, was among the group of debutantes- presented at their Majesties' Court- last week. She had recently made her entrance into Society with the Viceregal party at Dublin Castle, where she has been staying on a visit. Her mother, third daughter of the famous Prime Minister, was married in 1886 to the Rev. Harry Drew, now rector of Hawarden, and Can-on of St. Asaph. As a chUd, Miss Dorothy Drew ran about bare- footed, and was the constant companion at home of Mir Gladstone, in his later years. She is now a tall, fair, slender girl of nineteen, very clever, and some- what resembling her maternal grand- mother, the late Mrs Gladstone. That MiiSS Drew holds with the political views of her grandparents may be inferred from the fact that she was present on Mr Churchill's platform at Manchester on one occasion last year. » THE PREVALENCE OF APPENDICITIS. Lord and Lady Dudley have had an anxious time concerning their young daughter, Lady Honor Ward; who recent- ly underwent an operation in Melbourne for appendicitis. This prevalent disease is no respecter of youth or persons, and indeed their are few titled bmiliies in which some or other member has not been numbered amongst the sufferers. Lady Honor Ward is in her seventeenth year, the eldest of Lord and Lady Dudley's children, and is now on the high road to recovery. Lord and Lady Dudley's eldest son, Viscount Ednam, is some eighteen month younger. He did not 0 accompany his parents to Australia, and ils at school at home. "BY PRUDEiS, ACCUSED." The Countess of Dudley appear to have ex-cited some comment in Australia by her presence at a cinematographic representa- tion of the recent prize-fight between Burns and Johnson. It wouM be safe to put such remarks down to the prudish habit of jumping to conclusions. The Countess comes of a, distinguished Quaker family, and we may be sure she is not lacking in sympathy with the pacific principles which govern Quakerism. Lady Constance Stewart-RMohardson is another lady who has been 'By fools insulted and by prudes accused." She has been staying in the United States, and has appeared at various charity entertainments-, dancing in Greek costume, with bare feet. Lady Constance- iis a champion swimmer, a devotee of all the- sports, from fishing to shooting big game, and among other things is a very graceful dancer. But she has been told that, it is immodest to appear with bare feet, and American reporters, and American women, whom she says are prudish and narrow-minded, appear to have annoyed her. She is a .sister of the Countessi of Cro-martie, still well on the sunny side of thirty, and mar- ried Sir Stewart-Richardson in 1904. c A WEALTH OF' FLOWERS. Never have the ;ending London florists made a more wonderful display than dur- ing the past- week or two, this state of affairs being, of co-urse; in greait measure due to the Courts, and the amount of entertaining these functions bring about in town. Generally speaking-, bouquets for the Courts- ha,ve been larger than those of a year ago*, and of the "shower" persuasion, .while as far ais possible scent- less flowers havo, again been chosen in deference to the Queen, who has an ob- jectiiion to quantities of highly-scented bloomis about heir. For debutantes, white Persian l-iil-'a-c snowdrops, white roses, and orchids, have- found especial favour, the "showers" being tied with broad white ribbons. TABLIE: DECORATION. For those who find out flowers expen- sive for table decoration, there are bowls of waiilflowerK, pink tulips, and daffodils, to be found at the florists. All these i bowlis make charming1 "ce-ntresi," but the | quaint little dwarf azaleas in square blue j and white- china pets are evc-n more de- 1 lightful still. Witih cace, a bowl, or pot

When his Majesty the King sent for Mr Overton, the inventor of the Empire Clock, he set the seal of Royal approval upon one of the most remarkable inven- tions of the twentieth century. This ingenious clock (1) Gives the correct time all over the world. (2) Demonstrates the actual rotation of the eartih on its axis., in 24 hours and the actual speed of the earth three inches from its centre. (3) Gives at a glance the difference in the times between all places on the earth's surface, and the correct- mean time, at any town or place in the eastern or western hemisphere. It is a wonderful educational instru- ment, and will appeal largely to teachers who- know that the best way to instruct- a child is first to make him take an interest in the subject. It possesses a mechanism that at first sight strikes one as being complex. But strange to say, very few inventions are so simple as this-a fact that will surprise those who, when they heard of the Empire Clock imagined a pie-c-e of mechanism intricate in the extreme. King Edward has one of the Empire Clocks at Buckingham Palace, where it is an object of much interest on the part of Royalty and Royalty's Guests. A sample clock is now being shown in the window of Mr RI, Williams, jeweller, 69, Mostyn Street., who is the agent of the -Pat,elite,ets for this district, and who will be exceedingly pleased to show it to any- one interested in this unique invention, without any obligation to purchase.

WELSH TERRITORIALS. MOVEMENT AT COLWYN BAY. In consequent of the Oolwyn Bay or G Company of the Flintshire Territorials being considerably below strength a meet- ing was held last week to consider the question of forming a committee to remedy the existing state of affairs. The meet- ing was convened by Mr J. M. Porter, member of the, Flintshire County Associa- tion, at the request of Colonel Henry Howard, commanding the battalion. Mr D. O. Williams, chairman of the Urban District Council was voted to the chair. Mr Porter, explaining the object of the meeting:, said that the Association was anxious to bring it scompanies up to their established strength. The present strength of G Company wa,s 57, its establishment 120. The first object of the local com- mittee at Colwyn Bay would be to erect a drill hall. Colwyn Bay should not lag behind other parts o'f the- country where special efforts had been made- to bring companies up to strength. Major F. A. Dew, referring to the Col- wyn Bay Company of past years, said it was then one of the smartest in the bat- talion and its efficiency was unquestioned. The first thing was to get two young offi- cers, and the next to get a drill hall, such as the one at Penmaenmawr, which the men could have as their headquarters. Mr Haldane's scheme was the most serious and businesslike attempt yet made to solve the problem of national defence, and they must not forget that it was the product of a Liberal a,overniiient.-(Applause.) It was decided to form a Committee, to consist of all the members of the Council and some 20 local gentlemen.

TREFRIW PAVILION LICENCE. At the adjourned licensing sessions at Bettwsycoed on Saturday, Colonel John- stone presiding, Mr A. Lloyd Griffith, solic tor, Llanrwst, applied for a new licence for a pavilion erected on the Quay at Trefriw for Mr Michael Judge, who is also licensee of the Hotel Belle Vue and the Ship Inn, Trefriw.

of growing flowers can be made to last a long time, and in the end ii proves very much less1 costly than cut flowers. A REVIVAL. The tailors are once again giving us, for useful wear, small check skirts and plafn colouredcoats, which is a matter for rejoicing. The skirts are short, enough for comfortable walking, and usually pleated, while the hafts worn with these costumes are of rough straws trimmed with due regard to- the costume, wall- flowers going well with tones of brown, Parma violets with dark blue, and so on. ABOUT UNDERSKIRTS. Underskirts have reappeared in shop- land, and when taking a careful survey of these garments ane cannot but he struck with their general undesirability. To begin with, the ready-made underskirt is invariably too long, and too "bunchy" about the frills, then it is usually very ill- setting about the hips and waists and fitted with those horrors of hOTrors- ,stringis-wlhiclh draw upsupelrfluous waist material into knobs behind! The woman who aspires to be well-dressed has cer- tainy much to do to a, ready-made under- skirt, whether of silk, or bearing some high-sounding name ending in "ette," be- fore she can possibly wear it and given a length of brocade—which wears magni- fiently, and cleans over and over again, or soft, thick-ribbed silk, she should gain considerably in pocket, and appearance, by maktng, and fitting her underskirts I herself. DESIRABLE RELIEF. Silk-net blouses, in colours to exactly match the skirt, are the newest wear. There is no relief about them, the yoke and collar, whether of lace or embroidery, matches in tone, and: the sleeves are gathered or tucked and tightly fitting. The disappearance of white, cream, or old-lace hue-, from yokes and collar- bands, is to be regretted. Many really require such relief when the blouse is dark in colour, and the, wise plan for all so situated i,s to defy Dame Fashion, or [ else select skirt and, blouses in those pale j tones that always prove becoming. MISS CARETS WORKS-. Depite the fact that literature for young folks is poured into the market, the difnculty experienced in securing really nice novels for the young girl: is as great as eveir. Either the books offered us are unfit reading for her, or too childish, or undesirable in other ways. There is one direction, however, in which we- can never go wrong, namely in deciding uXJon Miss Rosa N. Carey's- works. The girl of sixteen can read and enjoy them, anct at sixty she will be able to read them sti l J, and appreciate them more,. Nearly 700,000 copies of Miss Carey's novelis have been printed by Messrs lVIacmillan. the greatest favourite perhaps being "Nellie"sl Memories," which has rea-ched a circulation of fifty-two thousand. But "Wee Wifie," "Not Like Other Girls," "Wooed and Married" run it very closely, While "Only the Governess," "Utwle Max," "Queenie's Whim," "Lover or Friend," and "The Milstress of Brae Farm" are over, or approach their thirtieth thousand. All Miss Carey's books, with the exception of "The Angel of Forgiveness," and "No friend like a silster" (6s.) can be had in the three and sixpenny popular edition in attractive blue cloth binding.
