OVERCROWDED BUSES

* Sir, —l heartily agree with your correspondents, A. Baldwin and “S.M.N.” I am amazed to find that the Tramway Board considers the Bryndwr bus 1 service adequate. As one who has 2 had to wait behind, not to mention , having had shoes trampled on and 3 silk stockings ruined in an overf crowded bus, I consider it most unsatr isfactory. With regard to “Angina’s” f letter, if Bryndwr people had only a e seven minutes’ walk to the tram, they g would prefer to take the tram. Many q of us have to walk more than 17 mine utes. Why could we not have a 20- » minute service like the Springfield road bus, which does not cater for s such a large and growing district as . i Bryndwr?—Yours, etc., t I M.C.L.

The big tearoom at Argyle House, more generally known as Messrs Beath and Company, was thronged yesterday afternoon when the firm, after the signal success it achieved last year, again presented a Promenade of Spring Fashions. And a very interesting and beautiful parade it proved to be, illustrating the latest trends of Fashion in a way that would appeal to any woman who takes pride in her appearance.

Beath’s certainly have faith in the weather for in the promenade are some delightful sunfrocks made of plain and floral linen, of faille and of haircord, that would be a joy on a warm sunny day. But prudence intervenes and many of the frocks have matching boleros, jaunty and gay, that would serve as protection against cold breezes.

Tight-fitting swimsuits of satin lastex and wisp o’sheen, which closely mould the figure, were rivalled by those with gathered skirts made of printed cotton and haircord. One mannequin wore a mother’s suit of patterned cotton and carried a tiny replica of the suit, intended for a small daughter. A white haircord suit was worn under a white cape, appliqued with a bluebird. Rush hats to be worn at the seaside were trimmed with brightly-coloured cotton material. The sports girl was well catered for and there were “pedal pushers” of linen and faille, shorts of the new

longer variety, linen slacks, and playsuits. with shorts and overskirts that are sure to be popular. White wili always be the classic wear for tennis, and a pretty and sensible frock of white linen was an excellent example of good style that would allow complete freedom of action on the court.
