l. The Day's Gossip. Leader" Ofrice, Monday. I am told, by those who have to handle much small money in the way of business, that not only silver, but copper is grow- ing appreciably scarcer in Swansea. Whether the same tendency is asserting itself over the country I do not know; let us hope that we shall not be reduced to the dim<ml.tie6 prevailing in France, where tram tickets and tokens arc to-day used as small change. Vegetabte Pr!ces. I They've been a long tune about it," must have been the comment of most Swansea, women when they read in the a Leader on Saturday the propoeed limi- tation of prices in vegetables. The new sc&le will make a small diSerence: pota- toes. for instance, were 71bs..a. shilling in some shops on Saturday, and they are to b6 listed at 8lbs. a shilling. The liet will have to be extended considerably in the early summer; it is my experience that extortionate prices are charged moM especially for the small fry of the vegetable world-the lettuce, the radish, and the cucumber. Aa for nowers—well, that is another story, and I suppose con- trol over their prices is impracticable. Pity lt4s Itis 90. Gwes&!nJenkins. A Swansea boy who has been m&ny years in an East Ham pastorale, the Rev. Gwessin Jenkine, was on Saturday among a short group of signatories to a letter in the Times condemning premium bonds. These included Mr. Guttery, President of the Free Church Council, Dr. Horton, Dr. Garvie, Mr. Meyer, and Mr. Scott Lidgett. Mr. Jenkins m a son of Mr. Morgan Jenkins, of Waterloo- street, a venerable and revered ngure at Capel-y-Triniti, and m Ea&t Ham, where he is in the Presbyterian ministry, he has built np a strong and live church, and aleo a commanding innuenee in municipal aSaira. TtM Lady M. P. and Wates. In view of references to L&dy Astor's American birth, it is interesting to notice chat at one of her meetings, on Friday night, ehe remarked: You need not worry about my being an AXnei'ioa!t. My family represented a. Welsh constituency in Parliament in 1678. John Langborne stood for Parliament and got in, and hiB aon got in too. I am not ashamed of my Virginian blood; it is of the very best." ——— Christmas Presents. Apparently there is no check to the custom of buying coetly Christmas pre- sents, wTitchtstlio growth of a few years. adtf might well have been put out c. tahÍon by the war." So writes a brothel Koasip, with London in his eye. All the evidence avaJabie suggests that wh&t WM I ut otd a pretty custom in which the Lhought wa& innch more than the actual gift, ior the {{i-atHication primarily ut i t;imdren, has been changed into an crgy ? s!Jt>iílIiHg (ititM 6ut M koodiiii with tuf real meanuig of Christmas." 1 suppose there are people in Swansea who will m- tiulge in an prgy of extravagance, bui; those who have bfen around the Christ- mas bazaars here teil me that, on the whole, the) town is not toeing tempted tn do foolish Lhings. The Medico and the Miner. A brother jôu.rlÚwí8t'1\1T. W. L. ut the SheSieid Daily -'l'Ðlegraph," 1h. :e n t me a copy of his new book, Minon;' Diseases," which is a compilation of the results of the researches of Dr. J. Court, of fStaneley, into Miners' Nystagmus and Ânklyostomiasie." and a well- deserved tribute to the doctor for his ex- cellent work. The first, and main, eectMB of the book deals with a subject which is of direct interest to the miners of South Waks, as well as those of other cpaln&lds —the disease of the eye known as Nys- tagmus, as to the causes of which there are various opinions ajnong, not only workmen's leaders, but members of the medical profession, and the information and deductions placed before the reader have an important bearing upon compen- sation caees. Although the section deal- ing with AnklyoetomiasiB," oj' worm disease, is practically connned to Corn- wall, the hints on the danger of spread- ing the infection, and on preventive prc cautions are unportamt. 'Uvmg Atone." I A little alien book written for the magically-inclined minority is how Miss Stella. Benson describes her novel Living Alone" (Macmillan and Co., Ltd., 6fi.), and though she describe* it as not a real book, dealing with real people, nor one that ahould be read by real people, you are conscious that in the midst of the bewildering fantasies of happy magic she has created a number of very real people. At times whpn the witch is firmly seated on her broomstick things happen that must have a meaning far beyond the comprehension of those who are not born for the nrst time," and the reader is tempted to use the witch's favourite expression, How d'you meam?" Still when the end comes he realises that he has read a war book and been very happy in spite of the very real nature of most of the characters. This he must attribute to the fact that Witches and wizards are not blinded by having a point of view. They just look. and are very much surprised and in- terested." That is the cue for the reader -?- i tist look —just look. and he is bound to be very surprised and interested. Concerning Witches. I living alone is the fame of a small general stores and froo boarding house, a sort of convent and monastery nii-ved," of which the superintendent is that very charming young lady the witch. At the War Savings Committee they uhally decided on the name Thelma Hcn- nett Watldns, when she gave her trade under the National Pt,!Tistrition as Magic they wrote "macMnist." but" witches nnd wizar<)s are people who are horn for the first time we nruxt all have had the chance of making magic to n]f:st of us It came in the boring begin- ning of ttme. and we wasted our best <T'f.I!f; of t)l,iosaiiri qnfl protoplasms, and .angels with ttanung swords, all of whom kriew magic too. and were not impressed." There is only one guest when t.hI")Ok Ofills-Peony-and she has gone to draw her money. What sort of money? asked Miss Ford. who WM always interested in the gources M inoome of the Poor I Solflier's anotment Unmameti wife."

For the Ladies, -
For the Ladies, Designs and Patterns of Beautiful Dresses. I ltJi Madame Gwendo<en Hope). Bright colours are very much seen this winter—a, change from the sombre shades that seemed to be the only suitable wear in recent yeaj-s. Frocks in bla'ck panne and velvet have a stronge note of colour introduced to counteract thfir dulness, and aro the last word in amartnoes. B¥ick and sapphire blue are a delightful com- bination, though etronger notes are struck by many wearers. The linings to evening cca.ts and cloaks a<re superlatively beauti- ful. and, it need hardly be added, are also very expensive. The more delightful the shades the more their cost runs up in pounds, shillings, and pence; but the way in which the colours a.re used is an art in itself. Whole dresses in bright shades are also extensively worn, particu- larly in the house and for the evening. In the.e as in everything e!ee there are combinations of colour that are an ar- tistic treat, and a fashionably-dressed assembly at the present time reminds one of nothing $o much as a b&autiful garden in full bloom in the summer-time. A Smart Afternoon Dress. I The original and bMutitui afternoon dr&as presented here is in pale-grey duvetyn, with etripcs of black silk. The cut of the bodice prt a triumph of the d,re"nutker"s a.rt in its chic simplicity. and the rîbbon-Alöh\ ht the 1V.aist-Hne are quite a feature of the frock. The drapery fails into a very deop point in front, And is shorter at the side's, to fnU into the doop point again at the book. The sleeves re"h to the wrist, and &re thus a welccide change from th6 short oiodeLs that do not j come to the elbow. t An Attractive Blouse The lovely Mou-30 sl,-etebed is durable from every point of view. It is made of lemon-cv1our georgette and It is CTIt t cry deep in the front, the Ya.cc giv- J ? ing almost ? ? bib effect. The lace goes also all romid the 6gure, and is repeated at the wnsts. The &lp€veH are set in with beading, and fairly large battens are a 6nish on the shouldere. The use is cut rather fuH so as to p</uch-well ovfr the belt. The lines arep!,y sijiiple, but are extremely cSceii.ve. The note of the entire blouse ie c h ie-.n I A Dainty Hat. I The pretty hat our artist Tias illustrated I here is in blue and silver brocade with a I baud of moleskin round the crOwn. Tha crown is very high, and is draped, and the briiu bends wdl over the foce, coining down on tl:e hair- at the back. The band of fur round the crown is faehion'6 latest ordinance, and gives a'touch of winter to what might otherwise ba an autumn model hat.

IRABMY CARMARTHEN.
I RABMY CARMARTHEN. ———— -———— London Official Who Could Not Believe It. t There has been in existence for sonu time a Carmarthenshire branch of the National Farmers' Union, but at a meet- ing at Carmarthen on Saturday it was do. cided to form a county branch of tht Welsh National Farmers' Union. Mr. J. R. Chambers, organiser of the latter union, attended, and Mr. Wm. WilliacM (Llwynpiod), was elected president; M{. M. H. Williams (Bankylan, Mantadwrh). vice-president) Mr. Phillip Da,vi&s (Namtllwyd, Llanddeusant), tremurerj and Atr. W. J. Davics (.Peswylfa, Peniel). secretary. Mr. M. H. Williams said the ignorance of the London authorities of conditions in Wales was appalling, almnst heart-break- ing. When they approached Lord Le< with reference to land cultivation, &nd the- difficulties of ploughing land and har- fe&ting crops, and when he (the speaker) mentioned that in Carmarthenshire from July to the end ot September, 1918, they t.ad only 28 rainless days, his lordship spemed to doubt the accuracy of the state- ment until statistics were produced. It \as m a result of that interview that Wales was exempted from carrying out the cultivation orders last year. Lord Lee was impressed by the nrst-hand in- formation given him. and told the union to come up again whenever they bad a grievance. There was no need to go to London uov. for they had a Welsh depart. ment at Aberystwyth. in charge of a loyal friend of tha Wt:>tsh farmers—Mr. Bryner Jones. (Cheers) The speaker moved & resolution protesting against the propcs: to include iarm labourers in the 48 Hou: Pill tie stated that at the next meetin; the Wages Committee, a proposa wou}d be made to incre:)so the mbourer'i wages from 378. 6d. to 4js.
