I The Day's Gossip. I Leader" Office, Friday. A colleague yesterday wrote in this column anent the manner of Dr. Barnes, who has just resigned the office of Master of the Temple; I may be permitted to follow him with regard to the matter of his sermon at the Parish ChurCli. It seems to me that we as Welshmen, if left to ourselves, will solve our difficul- ties pleasantly enough but the way will be longer and harder if such as Dr. Barnes intrude with observations about "theologies of local origin and more limited compass." What, exactly, is the cliaige." Against whom is it addressed ? Against the Corph P Surely not—for its theologians are equivalent to those of the Church in Wales; there is scarcely a shadow of difference. Against tne Baptists j" Against Intie- pendia Fawr? No. Then against whom? Dr. Barnes must be more ex- plicit. I am severely tempted to ask what is meant by The Welsh Church's powerful theology and organised history of some sixteen centuries but the point at issue has been so thoroughly ex- plored in Wales that the question can be left in the air. It is a pity that English visitors to Wales over-step their knowledge so I s. I War Slang. A discussion as to whether the phrase to be sold a Jmp" was war slang—the tin ding of the court was in the negative —caused me to turn up an analysis made some time ago by a correspondent to a literary review of some hundreds of words put forward by different correspon- dents as war slang. After throwing out certain mis-pronounced place-names, new chemical terms, and certain expression*, humorous or otherwise, which were obviously local or individual, he found he had 28S different words or phrases left. Of these, 100 only were definitely war slang, 65 were definitely pre-war slang, ti2 old Army slang (of which 15 were of Indian etymology), 11 American or Colonial, and 50 of doubtful period of origin. The verb to dump," he &ays, wmes frcm the Middle English word dumpen," to throw down, and is quite jxjssiblv war slang, but of the thirteenth century. As to the date of the origin of the phrase to be sold a pup," I can find nothing except that h pup" properly means a little boy or girl (Latin pupus, fein. pupa), which meaning it more or le^s retains in the French word for "doll" -Ia poupee, of opera fame. I Power From the Tides. I If the tidal turbine," which has been tested experimentally in the Mersey, justifies the claims of its inventor to pro- duce electric current continuously throughout the 24 hours, at a cost of lesc than one penny a unit, it will, I believe, be the first successful invention of its kind. Theto in, undoubtedly, enormous tidal energy nmning to waste all over the world, but in most place? the small range of the tidal rise and fall and the long period between successive tides have pre- sented serious obstacles. to the economical utilisation of this source of power. In a small way the tides of the North Sea have been harnessed by a chain of high- water and low-water reservoirs off the I'oast of Schleswig-Holstein, but that is a very expensive method compared with the Mersey turbine, which, its inventor states, is effective in a river with a tidal now of only two miles an hour. I I Ffflurps for Profiteers. f In view of the feeling that the Central Committee appointed under the Profit- eering Act is not reporting with sufficient rapidity, I heard some interesting figures yesterday. The Central Committee has appointed three standing committees, and two of these, the Prices Investigation Committee and the Trusts Committee, have 49 days been employed in investiga- ting 65 commodities. These two Commit- tees and their sub-committees have held 5H meetings and their reports are now in various stages of preparation and discus- sion. The third committee, the Com- plaints Committee, which hears specific charges against individual wholesalers, has also investigated 32 cases, of which seven have been sent for trial. The num- ber of members actively employed in the work at this moment is 64., and as fresh commodities are added to the list for in- quiry, the services of more members are being drawn upon. 1 The Grocers' President. Mr. Thompson, of Liverpool, President of the Grocers' Federation of Great 13ritain, who addressed a meeting, of grocers in the Cameron Hotel, is a forcible and able speaker. He has done excellent work in the Federation and in the Lobby •if the HOUS-3 of Commons. I The Choir Boys. The ladies who attended the Mayoral Pervice at St. Mary's last Stinday, quite taken up with the singing of the choir boys, and comments on their cherub- like appearance were frequently heard., How is if that all choir-boys look so ten der cheeked and ingenuous? I was re- funded of the Rev. Mr. Barham's lines on "Ingoldsby," when he says- "Six little choir boys—dear little couls' In nice clean faces and nice white stoles, Came, in order due. two by two Marching that grand refectory through! The great Lord Cardinal turns at thosisht Of those six little choir boys dressed in white! And one lady did remark, Aren't they dear little souls? Missouri and the League. That the Senate is not America, a friend across the pond tries to convince me to- day by marking this cutting from tne "Central Missouri Leader":— Critics may criticise it [that is, the League of Nations], sceptics may theorise, a few political dead ducks may put it to sleep or kill it in committee, or c,n the floor of the Senate, yet it will rise and throw aside its graveclothes and its shroud, and in its rising and reign it will bless mankind and humanity in the pro- sent day, and through all the centuries that are to come." Let us hope so. Anyhow, the faith of the Missouri editor is robust enough. Cenotaph Lines. il[r. T. GfofTivy W. Henslow, M.A., whose photo in khaki serves as a frontis- piece to the book, forwards me a copy of "Verses to the Fallen; inscriptions for cenotaphs" [Success Publishing Co., Is.] I cannot tOny that I am particularly im- pressed with either verses or inscriptions; but you shall judge for yourselves:— Remem oor Though suns shall rise and suns shall set The price of victory ne'er forget. Here is a memorial" Pray before the Empire's stone And make this monument your own. And this couplet is called The Gift" We Britons died that ye might live And gave the all we had to give. 1 Those dn need of verses for In Memoriam announcements may find ttle, I pamphlet useful.

For the Ladies. -0 Latest Gossip. I Alabaster Cups. I A new ware, known as abaster, is being used for tea-sets and dessert plates. It is mado in a variety of delicate tints, and has the semi-opaqueness of the real alabaster It mJ.kes a distinct change I after so much china, and is. besides, qui.Le beautiful in regard to shape and design. LATEST JUMPER. I One of the latest things in jumpeiis, now that the colier weather is at hand, is a combination of wool and silk. The very newest is one of which the body part consists of wool, and a small lace pattern in silk gucs round the bottom part. The woolly part keeps the chest and arms warm, and the border is for effect. PANNI ER. I For the amateur dressmaker, pamer effects present their difficulties, but very clever pannier effects may be secured by means of a graduated ruche of pleated silk inserted at the side seams, in the form of a double frill. This gives the extra width at the hips, and gives a dis- tinctly pretty effect MAKING THE RAINBOW. I Paris dress designers, in their new creations, have stolen the rainbow. Many new dresses are slashed from the waist to the hem of the skirt, and in the open- ling thus formed are inset panniers of all the colours of the rainbow. SLEEVE VAGARIES. J Many new sleeves have appeared this season, but nearly all dress sleeves arc loose and open widely to show the arms. One laie sleeve, loose and long, widens towards the hem, and reaches far below the hand, where it turns over like a monk's sleeve. FRILLED WRISTLET GLOVES. I The mode of bare hands and arms has brought back the vogue for many ringe and bracelets; and shori gloves with coloured embroidery and frilled wristlets are worn by those who seize advanced ideas. CAPE GOOSEBEflRY SHADES. I The latest in electric light shades is made in exact imitation of the Cape gooseberry, both in shape and co-lour. Those flhades look most effective against walls of deep hue, especially if clusters of the natural berries are used as table decorations. They have just the tan- gerine hue that is so fashionable at the moment. COCOANUT POWDER BOX. I The newest and quaintest powder puff- boxes are made by Chinamen from cocoa- nuts. The two halves fit together/ like an Easter egg. Among girls a box of powder sometimes takes the place of sweets for presents. HOSIERY AND BAGS. I To be quite ulktoaate, you must ar- range for your sJ>kings to be the same colour as your little bag, whiet? by ?t,?e I way, must now be called a reticule. THE CHAIR-BACK CUSHION. I A novelty in cushions is hailed with special delight at this season of the year, when we sing the sofa by patronising it with a good novel, and as much of a fire as can be managed, upon cold even- ings. A HEAD-REST. I The cushion to which I refer is intended to make an easy chair still easier, for it is a chair-baci and cusion combined. In point of fict It just a trushion, fairly flat instead of being pudding-padded, and across it comes like a roll, like a little bolster, which, just fitting the neck, gives the head absolute repose. So satisfied is everybody with the cushion cover that displays a striking medley of gold black, and purple silks, and other stuffs of the moire and eatin persuasion, that "e ask for nothing more. except the right to exercise individual taste in garnitures. And this right is cer- tainly ours, and is testified in all manner of ways, by wreaths & clusters of flowers, bobbles and tassels here and there, and daring patchwork motifs, to say nothing of criss-cross adornments made of metal- 1 lie galons and pretty ribbons I "I FASTENING THE COLLAR. I One of the new ideas with regard to straight fur collars—and they are going to be more popular than ever—is a fas- tening which takes the form of giant lacing. There are big round holes cut in the fur and carefully stitched over in rough button-hole fashion, and then a length of rather wide ribbon is passed through and tied in a carcless bow This makes a very decorative tour de cou and one which makes a simple tailor-made look up-to- date. I MAKING THE TIE. Such a tie as this is easily made. Haif- a-yard of six or eight-inch fur would be sufficient, or one yard of four-inch fur- the latter cut in half and carefully joined to give the desired width. When working on fur the pieces must be carefully brought together and over- cast, a very fine stitch being necessary, and strong linen thread. I LAMP WISDOM. I Lamps, if they are to give the best and most economical results, must at inter- valo be taken to pieces, and the mechan- ism boiled in a solution of soda and water. When done they should be dried and polished on a soft cloth. Sometimes wiens become clogged and heavy. They should then be removed from the lamp and drawn firmly through a dry cloth till all superfluous oil is re- moved. For the everyday cleaning of lamps, soft, crumpled paper will answer as well as anything. This can be used for rub- bing the wicks and polishing up the burners. Lamp glasses need polishing at least every other day. Paper will clean these too, and an) stair can be renicveo with a little whitening. It is better not to wash them too often.
