The Day's Gossip J Leader Office, Weduesdmy. The British Official War Photographs Exhibition at the Deffet Francis Art Gallary l as been opened with suitable eclat, and indeed one must contess to astonishment at the high degree of per- fection attained in the photographic art. The most striking example in tho whole collection is of course No. 15, reputed to be the largest photograph in the world. Largest Photo in the World. It is entitled The Dreadnoughts of the Battlefield," a title suitably pon- derous for the subjects of the picture- the Tanks. It represents the acivancel, of those landships over a shell-scarred strip of ground in Northern France, and contains (a surprising fact in view of the tremendous enlargement from the original) a wealth of detail. One can appreciate from this clever production the efficacy of camouflage, and the cata- logue does not belie its description when it says" even close at hand they have the appearance of moving mounds of earth. The picture measures 2,3ft. 6in. by 17ft. without the frame, and it was necessary to make it into two sections, as the builders of the galleries in London where the photograph was first exhibited never anticipated it on such a scale. The Silhouettes. I The collection is extremely varied, and embraces photographs taken in every theatre of war, those of the Mesopo- tamian and Palestine fronts )eing ex- ceptionally interesting, more especially tho Reading of the Proclamation at Jerusalem and The Camel Caravan." We have grown used to the conventional type of Western front photographs, but I could not help being attracted by one or two of the silhouettes—bold subjects which compel the attention. Inci- dentally, I found myself instinct- ively recalling once-familiar scenes in muddy old Flanders and thereabouts- It is only by the recollections induced that the exhibition will be of interest to the demobbed, but those un- acquainted with war at first-hand should be consumed with interest. Tram or 'Bus. I Apropos of the discussion on tramways at the Swansea Council tne other after- noon, it would be. well to point out that with reference to the proposed 'bus ser- vice, it is not such a highly paying game a" some members would make it out to be if the revenue and profits therefrom oi some large towns are to be taken into con- sideration. Take the Sheffield Corpora- tion omnibus service as an example According to the last statement of accounts for the year ended March 25th, 1919, the income amounted to X4,5,408 19s. Oli., and net profit balance .£82 19s. 7d. '• The life of an omnibus is about five years, whilst that of a tramcar is fifteen years Oscar Snelling. It is impoesible to estimate the value 1 to a town like Swansea of so virile a life as that of Mr. Oscar Snelling, tJi3 anniversary of whose death 1. con-Lmemorated at the Albert Hall on Siindav evening. lie had been with us so long that hift life, and that devotion, to all that is noble and right and good, all that is generous, eympathic and eelf- sacrificing had become our integral part, of the communal entity. Swansea would have been, woü.d mw be, something other had not Oscar Snelling influenced it. The Albert Hall mission, Mr. Snell-1 ing's chief concern, has meant much more than cau be told to thousands of humble spirits, and it is satisfactory to know that thouvh its first leader 1136' ~one, others have oome along, and under The aegis of Mr. John Pearce and Mr. Basil Snelling, not forgetting the quiet, but very efficient co-operation of Mrs Snelling, who ren.ains with ui;, the great movement still goes forwa-rd. The Chief Scout. A certain Swansea gentlemen upon reading a recent speech by Sir Robert, Baden Powell slapped his knee with the remark That man loves boys," but it is in the pages of the If Scout" Bnd Wolf Cub" where he yarns with his boys that B.P. ba "es his eoul to the glance of Britain's future citizens. It is a man with the heart of a boy who recounts to his companions recollections of his happy boyhood, subaltern days in India, of roamings over a wonderful world in which he has met strange people and ELOll strange sights. To make his stories more interesting he sketches such characters and scenes, for he is an artist as well as a writer. A Swansea Impression. ilis versatility enables him to present faithful pictures of his great'ecouit re- views; he tells a good nature story, he reminds his boys of the great men and deeds of history in a style quite original; he teaches them how to be useful, con- tinually suggesting some new hobby of u;efulness; he introduces them to his friends, the great men of to-day, and ever and always he is pleading with the young folk of the Empire to be prepared to sac- rifice their time and comfort in doing good turns to other people. He begs for comradeship between all boys, irrespective of social position; there can be no olass distinction he avows amongst healthy boys. His great Boy Scout scheme has spread over many lancte, and through the medium of his weekly boys' papers he gathers his thousands of scouts together for a chat around an imaginary camp- fire. I only met the Chief Scout once, when he stood in the hall of the Hotel Metropole, surrounded by Swansea's Boy Scouts, and I was not greatly impressed by the short figure and deeply lined bronzed face, but in his yarns I have dis- covered tha,t his great burning desire in life is that he shall help all boys to play the game. Cottages In Swansea. A*i all too adequate illustration of the continued lack of attraction of cottage building to the speculative builder was furnished by the Swansea Housing Com- mittee's meeting on Friday. Among plana which took well over an hour to consider there -4-re only five for cottages, and of these the suggested sites were re- garded as altogether unsuitable, so they were disapproved. A bungalow for Llan- samlet was the solitary dwelling ap- proved. Will cottage building ever be economic agmin 0 I 11 Ch-ocolat Menter I" I noticed in the papers recently that U M. Menier, the famous French chocolate manufacturer, had purchased a wonderful philatelic collection." I dare 5è.\Y a good many Swansea boys will sud- denly recollect something familiar about the name, for was not Menier the last line of defence when Blighty parcels were scarce and B.E.F. canteens were miles distant? Slabs of Menier formed part of the stock of every itinerant vendor, And no wayside estaminet was complete with- out it. Liquid chocolate manufactured from Menier varied the monotonous diet of tha field, although a mess-tin WO" hardy a vesse l that conduced to delectable flavour. It certainly imparted a flavollr- with a suspicious whiff of gyppo about it. I can quite conceive that M.. Menier is a millionaire, for the British troops were splendid customers.

For the Ladies. I Present Day Millinery. I The head covering of the moment is undoubtedly the tammy. This has taken unto itself many new and varied lines of I late, mostly, following the old rule of being higher one side than the other. It is found with quite a deep bandeau, lift- ing it well away from the face, as well as placed low upon the brow, with dis- tinct intentions of covering the eyes. Again, there is the beret ehape, and another model is that one which appears to be four-cornered, without actually being eo. This ia aohieved by placing four bunches of feathers at regular in- tervals around the cap, which may be of velvet or tissue. Another popular vogue is the tam-o'shanter toque. In its newest form it is large and draped, so that it is wide from side to side. It is made in brilliant colours—fueohia I. pink. Victorian blue, emerald green, a.nd sometimes even copper red These toques are notable for the wonder- ful embroideries which tl,,ey display —embroideries of chain-stitch in silk of a brighter and a darker tint of chenille and tiny beads. Sometimes the velvet is stencilled in dull silver, while for other models silver or gold lace is used, stitched over coloured taffetes, or over one of the lovely metallic tissues now so much worn As these embroidered toques are such a ridiculous price, many are continuing to make them at home. Quite easy, too with the aid of a pattern. A universally becoming hat is a high straight ehape. which has a border round the top of the crown of contrasting coloured feathers in a lighter key than those forming the rest of the hat, while another trimming device is a single wing, running from the centre right across the crown and rising abruptly higher as it proceeds back- wards. Three-cornered hats of velvet are again fashionable, and they are extra- ordinarily becoming to some types. PICTURE HATS FOR WINTER WEAR. I The hat which h8$ gained widespread ( popularity is the velvet one, slapped uP' directly in front; and there in the j H cavalier hat, turned up eharpily at the lert side. Two popular models are the small cloche with a jam-pot crown, and the bowl-toque, which has not even the slightest suspicion of a brim. Small cloche models are made of rough felt in neutral tints, and in divers colours. Simple picture shapes in black panne velvet are not favourites this winter. I HOME-MADE TOQUE. I A pretty but inexpensive toque may quite easily be made at home. Get a bowl shape and cover it with thin black taffetas. Then cover the taffetas with neat rows of black cherries, pansiee and scarlet japonica. The cherries come first, and make a sort of thick fringe round the lower edge; then the pansies-purple and black, and lastly, the small japonica blossoms; the latter completely covering the domed crown. Finally, throw a square veil, with a lace of embroidered border, over the Uniie, ain(i behold a handsome toque. Of course, any com- bination of flowers and fruit, or flowers j and leaves might thus be arranged. The j flowers must be rather flat, or they will destroy the outline of the toque; and the square veil must not be forgotten- Toques of fur and feathwe—in fact, of any material, as long as the toque effect is in- troduced, will no doubt become one of the staple articles of winter-time attire. A charming type, which will certainly be extremely popular, is one of white duve- lyn made, Russian fashion, with two nar- row pipings of black patent leather out- lining the characteristic Kuesia-n ban- deau, while in the centre is placed a large bright motif of cut jet. I THE RIBBON HAT. 1 Another popular fancy is the hat or I toque entirely made out of wide ribbon. In a emall Breton shape, four widths of foliled ribbon form the upturned brim, and the same four ribbons have their ends drawn upwards to form a orown. The brim itself is flattened down at the sides to give the framing effect so much pought after, andw hich forms such a becoming eoft frame for the face. Many very charming toques are thus made totally of ribbons. FUR HATS. Fur toques which used to be such clumsy affairs are now being transformed into creations which are distinctly charm-' ing. These results are being achieved by cherries or pretty mother-o'pearl trim- mings. Imagine a black fur toque with a few scattered cherries, arranged in pairs, and hanging from short gilded stalks, a beautiful effect is inevitable.

J SWANSEA PROPERTY. I At the Hotel Cameron on Tuesday, Mr. Astley Samuel held a property sale. No. 68, Alexandra-terrace, Brynmill, with vacant possession, aud lease of 99 years from September 29th, 1834, and a ground rent of 1;3 7s. 6d., was sold for £ 550; Nos. 330 and 331, Pentregethin- road, Cwmbwrla, No. 331 with vacant possession, 99 years from March 25th, 1901, sold to Mr. James Thomas for 2500.

I TALLEY TRADESMAN. I Ths death is announced of Mr. Jno. Evans, Pwllaucochion. Deceased, who was about 84 years of age, was well known throughout the district. For many years he combined the two callings of saddler and firmer. An old apprentice of de- ceased, who was also advanced in years, Mr. William Michael, who for many years kept a saddlers' shop in Rhosmaen- etreet, Llandilo, was buried on Monlay at the Bethel Methodist Burial Ground, Llandilo. An apprentice of the latter in the saddlery trade, named Edward Hughes, New Ivy Bush Inn. Llandilo, was buried in that town last week. The latter's age was 39.
