Pout probationers were welcomed to the Division, taking part in the work of the evening. Bathing costumes (says an English paper) will be more elaborate than ever year. Some, indeed, are so complete that they might easily be confused with the modern dance frock. For instance, on© of the new models is made of silk merve embroidered with rose. The tunic is cut somewhat in the style of a man'-s morning l coat, but it has a three-tiered flounce. Perhaps the most v striking model* of this season's collection is a twopiece cherry-coloured costume made in stockinette. The tipper part of the bodice is printed with a darinar futuristic pattern in. black that in the distance resembles the spots of a leopard.

Devilled kidneys, sultana scone®, gems, seed cake, ajpricot egg were all most beautifully cooked, and looked most appetising. • -Cultured pearls and Japanese pearls oan. be detected, despite all denials. A test has been “perfected by some wellknown X-ray experts under which, when exposed to a special light, all Japanese and cultured . pearls look green .and others blue. This is said to be due to certain constituents in the waters around Japan, where the pearl oysters live. During the next six years babies arrive by twos, threes, and even, fours, and single births will be exceptional is the prediction made by Professor Charles Kirschoff, of Milwaukee, who, says tho "Central News/' bases his prophecy on the influence of the planets Mars and .Venus.
