' ' Reading Cemetery was crowded with gipsies on a recent Saturday (says a London paper) when Mrs. Belina Smith, the queen of the Berkshire gipsies, who ' died at tho age of 102, was .buried. The mourners included the deceased's children, grandchildren, and great-grand-children to the number of 110. The women mourners wore black silks and large huts trimmed with flowing feathers. The coffin and furniture were very elaborate and the grave was adorned with expensive flowers. Later in "the day, on Reading fair ground,' the deceased* caravan, in which she had resided for fifty years, and all her belongings were publicly burnt. Miss Constance Winifred Honey, the holder of the moat valuable painting scholarship in the world, has arrived hi London from Australia, says the Standard of Empire. Miss Honey's scholarship which ib the gift of the trustees of the, Melbourne National Art Gallery, will enable her to pursue her artistic studies in Ihe chief European centres for three years. Miss Honey k the second woman to win thiß honour .eince the scholarnhip was inaugurated some 30 years ago, carrying the name prestige in the painting world as the Mendelssohn Scholarship does in that of music. The Australian Travelling Scholarship has in the past been h^eld by such , well-known artists as Long6tatf, Isaac Cohen, George Coates, and Meldruni. "Art is looked up to in Europe, tolerated in England, but scorned in Australia," said Miss Honey to an interviewer. "That is one of the reasons why I expect to be happy here. After having lived thousands of miles away from the art centres of th* world it is delightful to feel that one has them actually within, a few hours' journey. It is the extreme youth of Australia as a community that malies ib so poor artistically. But there is already a strong vein. of artistic endeavour beginning to show itself in our island continent, and eventually Australia will be one of the happiest hunting grounds of the landscape painter. Ther* is a vafetnesb, & mystery, in everything." AN" EASY WAY TO REMOVE SUPERFLUOUS HAIR. For • the benefit of our lady reader* who suffer from the htunilititing disfigurement of hair on face, lips or chin, we publish herewith a formula which has the advantage of being simple and inexpensive, as well as marvellously effective. It is not claimed by our informant that one application will permanently destroy the hair roots, but it is claimed, and the claims are borne out by actual tests, that one application completely removes the liair, and its regular use, one or two daye apai-t, will quickly and permanently destroy the hair root itself. If you have hair which you wish permanently removed, ask your chemiat to mix 4£ drams Pulverised Sulthine Concentrate with 2£ drams Zinc Oxide, P. 8., and 1 dram of Powdered Orris Root, and put ' in a, wide mouth botlle. For use, mix a little of the powder into a paste on a. plate by adding a- few drops of watei'. Apply with a nar low knif-o blade and remove at the 4jnd of two iiiiruil-L'6 with the back of the knife, when the dissolved hair will come with it. Repeal at intervals of two ■days. Each* time the growth will be lens, until it entirely disappears. A good non-greasy cream, such as Cwine ToKalon, may be used after each application. * CAUTION. — This must not be used a* a substitute for bhuvhijr, as it*; repealed u»i'j a>n)ijletely.
