For the Ladies. I I, I Latest in Boots & Shoes! Latest in Boots & S h oes I I Boots, with very soft swede uppers, are I being worn with short walking skirts. I These are so soft that they wrinkle about I the ankle, and in consequenco they are inclined to thicken the ankle. Another I novelty in footwear, and a very becoming lone, is the ankle strap ehoe. I I PRETTY DANCE SHOES. The girl who would look her best at a dance should be careful to choose pretty s hoes. Dance frocks are still very 6hort, and dancing is, of course, the one thing which does draw attention to the feet. Nowadays it is certainly a case of "Watch í your step," so the wise woman is careful to choose particularly pretty shoes in which to step. The tango or tango waltz is coming into fashion, and for this dance the tango boot is being especially revived. These boots are made with the upper of the hoot worn behind the ankle only, the front is open and laced across with many strappings. Tango shoes are those shoes 1 which arc also arranged with many strappings, either of the satin of which the shoes are made, or else ribbon. These strapped shoes are more popular than the boots, which are, perhaps, a little theatri- cal in appearance of ordinary wear. Dancing shoes made of brocade in ordi- nary Court shape are very fashionable. These often reveal very ingenious and dainty ideas in the form of rosettes and buckles. Ostrich feather tufts caught down with a paste buckle are quite charming on shoes which accompany a frock trimmed in like manner. Another fancy of the moment are dainty fan- sliaped petals made of ditferent coloured tulles, tight stretched, with wired edges trimmed with sequins, and held in place by a plain buckle. A piece of gold issue with frayed edges fixed on the shoe in the form of a thong is another novel idea; I while rather convendona) rosettes of tulle tho edges bound with a hand of tissue, is yet another popular notion. A SHOE RENOVATION IDEA. |( It is quite a good plan when dancing j C shoes of satin become worn through at the toes, as they have an unfortunate habit of doing, to give them a new lease of life 'II by covering the worn part by a design. worked in beads. This can be done at < home quite easily, and is a practical II idea at a time when beaded shoes are in I I fashion. I

"Every Woman teí" a M& I) I Storys Housewives need more rest —workers more fresh air. All need regular meals, a good night's sleep, less worry jand more help and sympathy in, the home. Better health would result. And this is the blessing all should strive to win—each woman for herself. There must be an end to putting up with dizziness, pain-s in the loins and sides, backache, nervousness, urinary troubles, dropsical tendency and all the long train of symptoms of kidney disease. The womanly message given here proves how helpful Doan's Backache Kidney Pills can be. Told in Swansea On March 2nd, 1916, Mrs. E. Morris, of 1, Treharne-terrace, Landore, Swansea, said:—" I was very much troubled with backache, headaches and dizzy attacks, and also with my eye- sight, which was blurred.

But, I am pleased to say, after taking some of Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, I began to get better, and when I had used about two boxes I was quite cured. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are a' good medicine for the kidneys. And I would recommend them to every- body who has kidney disorder."

The -Day's Gossip.
The Day's Gossip. '¡ Leader Office, Tuesday. Mr. Richard Martin, at the Mayor's luncheon yesterday, spoke of the splen- did lay-out of Cathays Park at Cardiff. It is, indeed, the heart of a city. Swan- sea pas had, until quite recently, no such chance as Cardiff seized years ago; but with Singleton in < ur hands we have our opportunity of building up, as the years go by, the most imposing civic centre in the west country. We shall want all our I wise heads. brought together not to spoil the possibilities of the site. Wisdom and vision are the requirements of the hour. I The Mayor-Making. Our mayor-making went through much as usual. There was, of course, plenty of praise of the new Mayor's qualities and good Council service, and of his prede- cessor's conduct in the chair, but it did not seem greatly overdone. For it is recognised on all hands that both are entitled to hearty congratulation on their service. The achievements of the Coun- cil's electricity and food control depart- ments are well-known, and the praise for this cannot be wholly due to the excel- lent chief officials in these offices. And of Mr. Miles it can be said that his ruling of debates has been firm and sound; that he has not over-talked; that when he has intervened in discussions it has generally been to say something much to the point; and that his speeches of welcome on behalf of the town to dis- tinguished visitors have been very ap- I propriate in length, tone and matter. I The Toast Master. We are beginning to feel the dignity of Swansea. Yesterday, for the first time I believe—and I have now over twenty years' recollection of Swansea functions —the Mayor had behind his chair, at the luncheon, a toast-master. Mr. Holloway filled the office with distinction, calling the toasts and their speakers with a t sonority worthy of his reputation as an ) old Army man. I Old Fami.liar Faces. I A colleague comments upon one feature of the luncheon, the number of old and familiar faces that had been ab- sent from social gatherings during the period of the war. It was quite like old times to find the representatives of so many of the varied sides of our public and social life sitting down as the Mayor's guests. Mayoral luncheons have been out of fashion for the war years, but we are getting back to the normal. I The Trust's Position. In Mr. Roger Beck's absence, little fur- ther was said at Monday 's meeting of the Harbour Trust on the grave financial position. It is quite clear that the Trust cannot keep on increasing its deficits as it hae done lately, and that if no Govern- ment assistance is forthcoming there is only one possible course. I believe hopee are still held in some quarters that such help will yet be received. Certainly plenty of figures and information has been supplied to that end. It need hardly be said that all possible help and good- will should be forthcoming from Labour in the present exceedingly difficult cir- cumstances. I A Year To-day. Just one year ago to-day, that memor- able, never-to-be-forgotten day when all the world received the glad news that the armistice had been declared, and that we, were practically at peace with our enemies! How our thoughts fly back to' that November lltli, 1918, when, after over four weary years of war the dawn of peace shed its glad rays over the world. To keep silence for just two minutes." Is not this the most fitting manner to celebrate that great anniversary—the day for which our gallant lads fought and bled and died? Two minutes of silent prayer for us to commune with God and concentrate in reverent remembrance of the glorious dead. l The Prisoners' Graves. A Neath boy who is at present with the Labour Corps in Phineland sends me a copy of the Cologne Post," that bright little daily paper published by the Army or the Rhine, which contains a report of a touching ceremony at the Sudfriedhof, Cologne, when our men paid a tribute to those who had died in captivity during the years of the war. The British sol- diers carried some 180 wreaths for indi- vidual graves, and there was also a large cross, surmounted by a wreath, and standing about six feet in lpight, which was reverently carried up and placed on the British portion of the cemetery. What a comfort it is to those left behind to tliink that the graves of their loved ones are being well tended and are thought of by British people on such oc- casions as these' In the Train. Nö. 2.-The Commercial Traveller.— He was a weekly visitor who gave us the pleasure of his company on Monday I mornings. There was much commotion when lie arrived on tho platform, barely allowing five minutes for his usual porter, who was gifted with an alarming voca- bulary of swear words, to get his hampers and skips out of the cloak room and label them for some distant town. When all arrangements had been made and they were on the trolley, and the train ap- proached, he invariably required a small packet or sample out of a hamper. The porter swore, the guard protested, but without any apparent effect, and, the packet recovered, when all the carriage doors were shut, he would leisurely walk up to our carriage and get in, greatly marvelling at all the excitement he had caused. During the journey, particularly if there were other occupants in our com- partment, he would start a political con- troversy around the man he most admired, Mr. Asquith, and, deliberately cool himself, would work his opponent | into a frenzy of excitement, and then, by n witty anecdote, restore the latter to good humour. He loved the game of « chaffing," and we all suffered badly as a consequence. Many a flush reddened a sensitive face, to quickly fade away under influence, of hig whimsical smi!e. He knew the road intimately, and he also understood mpn. for all held him in hign regard. J. C. Squire's Straight Hit. As promised, I return to some of Mr. J. C. Squire's comments in the London Mercury on some present literary ten- dencies. By the way, it is encouraging to learn that there is a big demand in Swansea for the new monthly, which has been fairly described as breathing the spirit of the Republic of letters. Allud- ing to the Meroury's desire to give the best of current literature, Mr. Squire says some young men, ignoring the fundamental truth expressed in the maxim, Look in thy heart aI1.P write,' have attempted poems and picture.s out of their heads. Others have ooncen- ■ trated upon the subversion of every belief by which man lives; have sapped at the bases of every loyalty and sneered at every code, oblivious to both social welfare and social experience. They have been, such of them 36 possess the moral- istic preoccupation, very contemptuous of clean living and no thinking,' but the dirty living and .muddled thinking they have offered as a substitute have been no great improvement.
