Some of the Yorkshire ln«>ies who accompanied the (Sheffield Choir in their tour of the world have leturned Homo with somewhat modified views on tho subject of Yorkshire hospitality; and do not appear to altogether appreciate the apparent lack of enthusiasm with which they have been received at Home. "When 1 got back into Yorkshire," eaid a. Honley girl, who waft with the choir, ''everything deemed to have a depressing effect after the way in which' we have been received by the colonials. .The people in the colonies are cheerful and bright, but here — ugh ! they are wooden, and stolid. In Australia and South Africa the settlers take to you straight away, but here oven your intimate friends look at yon almost with indifference/ Were the m?ile colonials nice, and haxl any of the ladies of the choir been left behind? "Yes, one was married a.t Durban, and remained there. Another accepted a situation in Johannesburg, ana it was rumoured in the choir that she had 'seen someone' there. A third had returned Home from South Africa, but wafi going back." Englishmen living in the colonies, it appears from the cotwei&vtion, are very much prejudiced against colonial girls. "Four or five of them said to me that they would not like to marry a colonial girl. The colonial girl is not sufficiently doniesticated,' and is altogether too mannish." One of th6~ things which appealed considerably to the sympathies of this Yorkshire girl Wat* thfe way in which English soldiers- crowded to tho concerts given by the choir whenever they were v/ithin reach of a military station. "We could see large patches of red in the audience where the soldiers were seated, " she said, " and they seemed to listen to our homeland fionge particularly with rapt attention."

Whether for use or only for ornament, ' the rather massive glass button sparkles and glisteriA ; there ib no ban on a colour blend either, for a button of colour and ? one of black, or a button of black and one of white alternate on the same drcea and tailor-made. Brandebourge of satin i are clever pretenders in forming supposed buttonholes to correspond with the but- * tons. New scope is nero offered for the k worker -who is on the lookout for novel effects in black and white. In addition ? to glafifa, we can buy heap© of pretty buttons made of metal or enamel or painted wood or covered with embroidery. Long t rows of them are used hy tailors on coat and skirt alike, while the sleeves are not * regarded aa complete without a procession of similar buttons at the back of tho cuffs ; revers, too, provide a useful back- ? ground for the line of buttons. Presently, if our dresses are made to fasten in front. ' the presence of tho attractive button will I be doubly appreciated ; coming styles , offer the opportunity for a return to the j moro convenient front fastener. The modern shopkeeper is showing an ever more tender consideration for his lady customers. ' Many ,a fair purchaser who wishes to carry home her new acquisition has been appalled by tho colour of the wrapping paper, which is so hideously out of keeping with her costume. *To remove this difficulty an Eastern shopkeeper has laid in a stock of wrapping papers of many colours and tints, and has instructed his clerks to select a hue that will be,' in harmony with the lady's own colour design. Or ehe may select it herdelf. Still another, concession to feminine vanity is heralded fioin Paris. Everyone knows that ¦ a woman ,never looks 60 ecstatic as when she is trying on a new hat for tho first time, a hat that ehe knows will suit her and that she can afford to buy. Even the homeliest woman will look for the moment beautiful as she atands in front of the mirror and raie^s the edifice to its I appointed shrine.
