Llandudno Advertiser and List of Visitors

I LONDON GOSSIP. THE KEEPING OF CHRISTMAS. The ideM, Christmas is that spent in the country home suggested by Brace- bridge Hall, where Mr Pickwick, ana the Wardles, indulged in merrymaking. With its outdoor sports and indoor games, ti e Christmas of the picture papers abounds in pleasant associations, yet every year golf and other attractions are becoming more and more to be preferred to the old- fashioned country Christmas and its Yule- tide family gatherings. Royalty, and the leading families, as a rule, spend Christ- ms in their country homes, but among the moderately well-endowed, it is the growing fashion for families to break up, and migrate to some foreign holiday re- sort-t,o the hydros, or seaside hotels, nearly all of which nowadays arrange special entertainments, concerts, dances, theatricals,, Christmas trees, and so on, in catering for the Xmas visitor. Slow- ly, but surely, the hearth-side associa- tions of Christmas appear to be giving way in favour of other attractions, at least among the classes who can afford to spend the festive season away from home. THE! LADIES." Ardent, suffragists rather resent the oiid Rioman custom of drinking the health "The Ladies." For some reason or other, they regard it as a, sign of degradation of the sex, and it will not be surprising if at some Christmas parties they retaliate by proposing the toast of "The Gentle- men." It is siajid! that the origjin of the custom of drinking health was the mere excuse for drinking another bumper, and the masculine toast would at least serve this purpose, and at the same time afford the ardent suffragist an opportunity of telling the "mere man" exactly what she thinks about him, and why he should give her the vote. LORtD AND LADY ABERDEEN'S LOSS. The deepest sympathy will be, felt for Lord and Lady Aberdeen in the untimely death of their third and youngest son, the Hon. Archie Gordon, who was only twenty-five years of age. He was in- jured in a moitor accident on November 25th, 'his own Icar colliding1 with another at some cross roads near Winchester, and unhappily the hopes that were entertain- ed for his recovery for two weeks or more were not realised. As a boy, Mr Archie Gordon served with his brother as an apprentice in a, shipbuilding yard at Aber- deen. Strong and athletic, he. was a radiant light-hearted youth, a favourite wherever he went, and his altogether paJthetic death will cast a shadow over the Christmas of many families, including the Prime Minister's, as his engagement to Miss Violet Asquith was shortly to have been announced. THEI PEACOCK-FEATHER SUPER STITION. Actors and actresses have many super- stitious usageisi, which twentieth-century progress has failed to. uproot. An example is afforded in the case of the production of a. new pilerce at a, London theatre this Christmas in which strong objection has been taken to the use of peacock's feathers as a, background to the costumes. The superstiitibn about peacock's feathers is more general in the south than in the north of Britain, but women have always been more or less shy of wearing them. Why, one hardily knows, because in olden times it, was the c,ustom to carry pea- bocks feathers an reijigious professions, as is done in Rome at the present day. Yet no doubt it arises from some re- ligious belief as is the case with most superstitions. There is for instance the old fashioned practice- of placing a poker to the bars, and leaving it there, pointing upwards, in order "to draw up the fire." There has been many a break- fast-table argument; as to. whether the poker, so placed, has any practical effect, but the original supposition was not con- cerned with theories of applied science, but with the idea, that the poker and the bars formed a cross., which srared away- the evil- spirits sniffling the fire, in the grate. CHRISTMAS PRESENTS. Those, among us who have failed to find "something for every lady" must indeed h81 hard to, please. Even one's iiien-folk- difficult icireatures in the pastcan quite easily be "fixed-up" this, Christmastide. A most amusing gift for1 either a man or woman, takes the form of a cigarette- box, which looks like a, pond, with a heron on it. Upon touching1 a, spring, the pond flies open, and the heron, bend- ing its graceful neck, brtings up a (cigarette, which it holds out. to the by- standel". But .the rush has been for-pure- ly useful' .gfiffts, and for bachelor women living in flats, all sorts of labour and space-saving presents have been devised and pouncedi upon. < CONCERNING GLOVES. A great improvement is apparent of late years in the cut of gloves, and now- adays it is quite the exception to find them ill-shapen, and out of proportion, as was formerfly so. frequently the case. iShopland gernerlal(y reports a. huge run upon gloves for Christmas presents, the favourite tones hering very pale greys, tans, and cream. White gfloves, so say those in authority, have been less in request than for several seasons past. Then there has been a considerable cle- mand for the larger woollen gloves, which are so sseful for slipping on, when going out in the evening, over kid or suede, or even, if a muff is not cairried, when pay- ing a round of ,calls. These "woolly" gloves are now available, in a vast num- ber of colours, and are exceedingly com- fortable, and delightfully warm. ITEMS TO INCLUIDE) WHEN PACK- ING. When paying visits it is always ad- visable, if one treasures one's footgear, to arm oneself with proper polishes, for, as many of us have found to our cost, zealous housemaids are not always par- ticular concerning the compounds they employ when the correct ones are not forthcoming. A lliftitle bottle, of sweet oil t,oo should be included, as this is so very necessary in the preservation of patent leather. Then a magnesia ball, for rub- bing on soiled hems, or grease spots, should be packed, also a littlie iron and stove, so that erushable clothes can be easily smoothed out. Yet again a tiny box of plate powder, and a small leather, is generally useful for keeping one's toilet silver up to the right standard of brilliancy, without bothering other peo- ple's servants, and a flalt work basket that can be squeezed into some odd corner, is of .course a positive necessity. THE "FOOT REST." Every fashionable woman sees to it that a "rest"—upon which her feet are laid, when the donning or removal of boots or shoes are in question, finds a place in her dressing room, and the notion has 'this season been taken up by the lesser endowed, who have the "rest" made in the form of a box, with a padded sloping lid. They maintain, and rightly, that it is more easy to lace or button a boot or shoe, when the foot its placed upon this "rest" than when upon the floor, moreover inside the box, they keep all the polishes, brushes and polishing cloths necessary for the well-being, and preservation of dainty footwear. THE PENDERELL, PENSION. There is in a London chur-chynrd-St. Giles-in-the-Fields—an altar tomb to the memory of- Richard- Pender ell—the farmer who saved Charles II. from the Cromwell armies, by hiding him in an oak tree, after the Battle of Worcester in 1651. It describes how he acted as "preserver and conduct to his sacred Majesty King Charles IT. after his escape from Worcester Fight," Penderell died in 1671, and: in 1675 King Charles grant- ed a pension to. his widow Mary Penderell and her heirs. It is to a portion of this (pension that .a London cabman has estab- lished his icfijaim, and to which he has been entiWied since 1886. He is now 76 years of age, and in needy circumstances. The pension is worth £ 50 a year, and as the aocumuilalted funds must more than suffice to pay legal costs it means a transition from poverty to affluence for this old cab- man and his wife, for the remainder of their days.

"Will you never give up smoking, dear Adolphus ?" "No," replied the depraved smoker and punster; "I shall smoke just as long as I chews." 0'1 LICENCE! TRANSFER RED. — At Llandudno Police Court on Monday Mr E. Ell. Bone applied for the temporary transfer of the licence of the Avondale Restaurant from Mrs Anne Vincent to her husband, Mr Joseph Vincent, an account of illness.—The application was granted. Mr Softleigh "What in your opinion, is the limit to love?" Miss Hardy Matri- mony." j

HOUSEHOLD HINTS. One of the simplest and most satisfactory tonics for improving the eyelashes is cold tea. Liniment for Rheumatism.—Twopenny-worth of turpentine and twopenny-worth of green elder oil. Mix well together and rub into the affected parts. Don't use too much soap on the face. Use warm water, then rinse with cold water after. The warm water cleanses; cold water closes the pores again, and prevents the skin from chapping or getting rough. A very simple method for the removal of warts—namely, a flannel, over which is spread some green soap, obtained at any druggist's, placed over the wart for a period of 14 days, by the end of which time the wart will become so soft as to be easily shelled out. Useful Thirst Quencher.—To assuage thirst and cure feverishness, apple tea is a notable sick drink. It is made by slicing up raw apples into a jug. filling up the jug with boiling water, as in tea-making, then sweetening to taste. When cold this apple tea will be found pleasingly tart and refreehing. A cold compress is an effectual remedy in some forms of sore throat, when there is redness caused by congestion, but no white spots. Dip a folded piece of cotton into cold water, wring it dry enough not to drip, wind it round the throat and cover it with several folds of cotton or flannel. The warmth of the body soon converts it into a kind of poultice and the moisture re- lieves the inflamed condition by relaxing all tin tissn es. .6 THE SICK ROOM. In preparing a sick room let the floor and woodwork be wiped with a damp cloth—not scrubbed—umess some hours elapse before the- patient is movect into it. See that the windows and doors open and close without any noise. If a fire has not been in the room for some time. light it some hours before the patient is moved in: if a fire is not needed, see that there is a clear passage up the chimney. -+-- OBESITY. For breakfast the patient is allowed a cup of coffee without sugar, one piece of stale bread toasted, a poached egg or a piece of lean beef- steak. For dinner is allowed some meat soup, roast meat with gravy, or fish, peas, beans, cab- bage, or, in fact, any vegetable that grows above ground, and a cup of tea. The supper is made up of a cup of tea without sugar, Vienna rolls, cold meat, cottage cheese, and fruit. Beer aad strong alcoholic beverages are forbidden, although in some cases light wines, diluted with alkaline mineral water, are admissible. A variation of this menu must be made to suit eaclli individual case. THE QUESTION OF CORSETS. Now everybody's back will be up. For almost every woman believes in corsets. We have talked with scores of them, and we find that the majority—yes, a very large and overwhelming majority, believe in corsets. In the first place, the female figure was designed to have room to expand. Heaven never created a woman with the idea that her lungs should lap over her heart, and her liver should be doubled up, and held doubled by packings of steel springs and whalebones. The natural waist of the adult female of the human species is not nineteen inches around. A waist of that size is as much a deformity, and as much a perversion of Nature, as a hump on the back or a foot with six toes nn it. Our friends tell us that they must have something to support them..One lady assured as that she could not sit upright a moment with- out corsets. The female world is not sufficiently vell-informecl on the laws of physiology to listen to anything which inveighs against fashion. Women have worn corsets, they say, ever since the Flood, and the race is not extinct. Physicians and reformers have declaimed against the use of them for ages, and women have kept right on wearing them, and nobody killed or wounded. Fashion demands a small waist, and a woman looks like a guy if she wears her clothes of com- fortable looseness. It seems to be generally understood that she shall not take any comfort any way. A tightly laced corset perverts every function of Nature. It impedes respiration; it contracts the lungs; it presses on the delicate tissues of the heart; it interferes with the func- tions of the liver; it weakens the spinal column; it iis the progenitor of dyspepsia; it imprisons noses, and gives pains in the sides; it imprisons "ie wearer to such an extent that she can neither walk nor work with freedom. Oh, but we don't wear our corsets tight at all," say our ffiends; and what is the use of this protest? Everybody knows that a loose corset makes a figure hideous, and that the slipping and push- ina of the springs wear out the dress waist, and -tick into the sides, and are intolerable gener- ally. So nobody wears them loose. And what we most abominate is the custom of putting chil- dren into corsets. We have seen a little girl of nine years with corsets on, and have heard her talk about how her figure was improving. We lament the ignorance of the Chinese. We send rvut missionaries to convert them. We think it is such dreadful cruelty for them to bind up the feet of their female children to make them small. Perhaps it is, but we do worse when ive bind up our children's lungs and hearts in jorsets. A person cannot have consumption in his feet. or heart disease in his toes. or liver complaint in his heels, so if Nature must be re- stricted, it is better to confine the operation to the feet. It is not half so dangerous, and cer- tainly .not more uncomfortable. COOKERY RECIPES. Boast Loin of Pork.—Score the skin in stripes a little more than iin. apart, and place the joint 4 at a good distance from the fire, on account of the crackling, which would harden before the meat was thoroughly heated through if placed too near. For a loin of pork weighing 51b. allow about two hours, but be careful not to send it to table the least underdone. Serve with apple sauce. Boiled Onions.—Put a dozen onions into cold water and remove the skins. Put them in a saucepan with boiling water to cover, add a tea- spoonful of salt, and set over the fire to boil until tender. Drain, turn into a heated vege- table dish. pour over melted butter, dredge with pepper and serve hot. A Cheap Cake.—One pound of golden syrup. |lb. butter (or lard), ^Ib. of sugar, J,lb. of sultanas, lib. of currants, one teaspoon fill of 4 carbonate of soda. one teacupful of milk. two tea spoonsful of ground ginger. Put golden syrup to get hot on oven top. also butter in another jar to just melt, put the carbonate of soda in the milk. and just get warm to melt the soda. Put all together in a dish, and beat well with enough flour to form a stiff batter. Now half mixture into another dish, put ginger in one and the- currants and sultanas into the other. Beat well. and bake until done. Two good cakes. Tried often. Flaked Cod and Shrimp Sauce.—Parboil about 21 hs. of cod fish, the middle cut. When ready take it up and flake it into shapely pieces, lay aside, and make the following sauce:—Mix one tablespoonful of flour and one of cornflour with one pint of milk. Season with grated nutmeg, a pinch of salt, and a dessertspoonful of anchovy sauce. Pour it into a clean stewpan, throw in one pint of shrimps, and stir well until the whole comes to a boil. Then put in the fish flakes, and allow all to simmer slowly until the fish is cooked. With a wooden spoon and fork arrange the fish upon a hot dish, and pour the sauce over it. Garnish with slices of lemon and tufts of parsley. Very nice. Stewed Leeks.—Trim off the leaves close to the white part, cut off the roots, examine and wash well till freed from grit and dirt. Cover with boiling salted water and boil ten minutes. Drain, cover with milk, and simmar 15 minutes more, dv until tender. Thicken with butter and flour rubbed together to a paste in the propor- tion of one level teaspoonful of each to ont-half pint of milk. Season, and simmer five minutes.

I I CHRISTMAS FORFEITS. We append a list of good forfeits, which we hope will be found useful at this season of the year. 1. To put a candle in such a place that. all in the room but yourself can see it. This is done by placing it on your head. < 2. Kiss your shadow. This may either be done literally by kissing your own shadow on the wall, or, more agree- ably, by putting yourself between the light and a nice young lady and saluting her. 3. Push your friend's head through a ring. This is accomplished) by putting your finger through a ring and pushing your friend's head with the tip of it. 4. To laugh in one corner, cry in another, sing in a third, and dance in a fourth. 5. To bow to the wittiest, kneel to the prettiest, and kiss the one you love best. < 6. To put one hand where the other cannot touch it. This is done by putting the right hand to the left elbow. < 7. Tb say "Quizzical quiz, kiss me quick, six times running without draw- ing breabh. 8. Smile without tittering or laughing in each corner of the room. < 9. To kiss a book inside and outside without opening it. This is done by kissing the book inside the room and out- side the room. 10. To bite an inch off a hot poker. This is done by making a bite with your mouth one inch distance away from the hot poker. 11. To put two chairs together back to, back and take off your shoes and jump over them. This forfeit is only a catch. You are to take off your shoes and jump over them, not, over the two chairs. 12. Riss yourself in the looking-glass. 13. Repeat the letters of the alphabet, leaving out o, three times, without stop- ping. 14. Stand on a chair and perform whatever1 grimaices or motions you are bidden without laughing.' » 15. Place a straw on the floor so that you cannot jump over it. Place it against the wall. 16. Put yourself through the keyhole. This is done by writing the word "your- self" on a slip of paper, rolling it up, and pushing ilt, through the keyhole. 17. Repeat Six times without a mis- take "A lump of rough light red leather, a red light rough leather Hump. 18. Ask a, question that cannot be an- swered in the negative. The question is "What does Yes spell? 19. Look up the chimney and say— "Peep, fool peep, Peep at your brother; Why mayn't one fool Peep at another ?" 20. Say aloud—• "I am a goose, as I do confess, So return my forfeit: you can't do less." 21. Perform "'the egotist." This con- sists in proposing your own health in a complimentary speech, and afterwards singing the musical health honours— "For he's a jolly good fellow." 22. To dot and carry one.

Give "poetic numbers." Repeat a passage of poetry, counting the words aloud as you proceed thus, "Full (one), many (two), a (three), flower (four), is (five), born (six), to (seven), blush (eight), unseen (nine), and (ten), waste (eleven), its (twelve), sweetness (thirteen), on (fourteen), the (fifteen), desert (sixteen), a.ir (seventeen) This is a great puzzle to many, and affords considerable amuse- ment. 29. Einact the Grecian statue. Stand on a chair, while any of the company may pose: you as they think proper, and great ingenuity may be displayed in inventing I, ridiculous postures. I J 30. Make your will. This is done by bequeathing to each member of the com- pany something the penitent possesses- either an article of property or some moral or physical quality. 31. 'Give either in whispers or aloud [ any piece of advice that comes into your head to one or all of the company. 32. Play the parrot. The penitent is supposed to be transformed into a parroi, and must go round an the players and ask each one in turn, "If I were your parrot what would teiach me to z, a-v 7 Each player answers as his fancy may dictate. Should a lady say, "'Kiss poor Polly," the supposed parrot, puts the suggestion in practice, and his ordeal termina.tes. If not, he must repeat exactly every answer before going on to another person.

MARRIAGE OF MR ISSARD DAVIES The marriage was quiefcijy solemnised in London on Tuesday of Mr Issarclt Davies (Carnarvon), vice-chairman of the Carnaryollshire Education Committee. and Miss Kathleen Roberts, grand- daughter of the lata Dr. W. Watkin Roberts, and niece of Mr Morgan Lloyd (/Carn arvon).
