The Day's Gossip.l
The Day's Gossip. l Leader Office, Thursday. I hear that the Swansea Parks superin- tendent is preparing an elaborate scheme for ioreshore improvements. This, it ap- pears, has special reference to Langland Day. which has for some years been the liiecca of Sunday visitors from Swansea. The demand for chairs at this popular resort was, during the summer months, greater than the supply. Mr. Bliss hopee to be able to make ample provision for next season's rush, and 1 hope he will also see to it that bathers arei given proper accommodation. When I was at Ply- mouth the other day 1 noticed that the Corporation were doing good business with a row of concrete cubicles alongside the pier. The natural advantages at Lang- land are greater, and it would not cost the Corporation much to make the bay the most popular bathing resort in Wes) Wales. The fact that nearly £3,000 wa* taken by the Swansea Corporation .on the foreshore last summer speaks volumes for the possibilities of the venture. > I The,Elections.I The non-Lahour parties in the London municipalities, as well as elsewhere in the country, are now face to face with the re- sults of a half-hearted campaign. A bothcr gossip writes that Organise, organise, organig." is just as important a cry to-day as it was when Peel first used it, and it will not do to put down the whole thmg to the apathy of the middle- class elector. Undoubtedly he is to blame, and it may he oxpccted that he will reap his punishment: but everyone knew-in advance that the elector would I be apathetic. He always is, and it was I I the duty of organisers to counteract that natural apathy. C 3 County Court Judges. I The County Court Judges Bill. which is now going through the House of Com- mons, is a measure of real public im- portance. As the law stands now, a county court judge cannot be compelled to retire unless he is suffering from Per- manent disability, and that is a most difficult fact to prove. The consequence is that some of these judges work on and on until, as the Attorney-General pointed out in his speech to the House, rame county court judges have continued to norform their duties after it was really dpsirahle that they should do so." The present Pill makes it possible to retire a County Court Judge at G5 years of age, with a pension equal to two-thirds of his salary. Seventy-two years is the age limit for his services, though this may bo increased in particular cases to 75 years by the Lord Chancellor, — I Frank Mullings. I I remember Frank Mullings singing at Cwm. long before fortune had found him-, .nd sinewing every, whit as well. He told me last winter, at the Albert Hall, that he loved South Wales audiences, which I had been generous to him for years past. To-day I suppese he is our leading British tenor. In "Othello the other evening n critic saYF that he was the centre of the whole thing. His climaxes were won- derful, but one could enjoy his einsing most when he was not making a climax. In the quiet, passages of his singing, in the beautiful dust with Desdemnna which endEl the first act. one got the genuine quality of his voice, unforced and true, while in the passionate dialogue with Iago in the next act one was too often con- I scious that he was giving the last ounce pf energy, and one be?an to wonder how 1le could stand the strain as he did." Now that would be the measure of the criti- cism I would give to his last Swansea appearance. In the soft notes of Com- fort ye he was incomparably a greater artiste than in many later pieces. I H A Question of Manners." I I As a mere male who constantly has his I sex disqualification impressed upon him (writes a member of the staff), may I tell you the following story as a pendant to your "gossip" yestarday on question of manners" ? I travelled yes- < terday on one of the Mumbles trains i from R and-sti-(,e t. occupying a eat in a compartment the windows of which were j blazoned with a long and most con- spicuous poster bearing the word t Smoking." Just before the train started, there entered the compartment I I two elderly but atrociously overdressed ladies, each of whom seemed anxious to pose as a girl of 16. Besides me in the I carriage were two other mere males, and ali were smoking One of the aforesaid ladies on making her entry—I usa the word advisedly—immediately opened all I the ventilators, re-opened the door, which had been thoughtfully shut by one of the M.M., and, from Rutland-street (i f tl-e and to the Slip she and her friend proceeded to declaim in peevish, high-pitched, arti- ficial voices upon the bad manners of I some people in smxrking in a ladies' com- partment. Yet all the time on both the windows were the magic words, Smok- ing." Whose were the bad manners? I What Audiences Say. I As J.B.\V. of the Times wrote yesterday in his weekly essay, talk of printed criticism! Actors and authors do talk of it often enough, and on the Whole don't seem to like it; but Itt thom mingle with the general play (IWt and keep their ears open! Mr. vYalkley I declared that the general playgoer is the greet purveyor of secret criticism. "The fate of a play is not decided by r-eivs- paper criticisms (thank goodness J I sbould be miserable if it were), but by' what the general playgoers say to one Another and pass on to their friends. How many plays with record runs have been dismissed by the newspapers on the morrow of the first night with faint praise or positive dispraise? The general playgoer has said his say, and what he says goes.' That may be true of Loudon. What of the provinces? I believe the same rule applies and that' managers attach verv great importance to the views of the Monday night audience The Scrap Heap. I Conversations in tramcars are easily I overheard, and I could not help hearing I the bitterly-expressed remark of a boy, who were in his button-hole the ivy leaf badge of the D.S. and S. Association, to ai old lady opposite: I am on the scrap heap, llum, it's very hard to get ilong." And as later, with extreme difficulty, he left the car, and slowly crawled away, I felt he had come home from the red in- ferno of war to a stiffer fight than that when the shrapnel entered his thigh. His expression was one of bitter disap- pointment, rebellion and desnair. But 1 would remind such as he that the world owes an astonishing debt to hamlicappH juen. I have been reading cf Wilson, the famous ornithologist, who was the teacher of one of the world's greatest naturalists, Audubon. Originally a weaver in Paisley, and a cripple, he dreamed of <?:e freedom 0" wild creatures, and left his trade to exile himself in the then solitudes of America, where from the forest many rriceless contributions of knowledge were sent by this IIPT<)iq cripple a century ago Of a respected Labour M.P. who died a few years ago, it was said ho owed bl¡,J success in life, to an injured foot. He turned inactive hours to profit by reading Im patient endurance there may be much heroism, though for the time it be the inglorious battle of tht:if' room, as SU-rensoa called it.

I For the -Ladies. I 'o—
For the Ladies. I o — The Patchwork Revival. I Not only is everyone collecting old Vic- torian patchwork nowadays for quilts and cushion covers, ut some meet effec- tive modern work is being done in this direction, the only difference between this and the old being that, whereas the former was made on very rigid and stereotyped designs; the latter affects rather the dazzle type, and depends on its irregularity for success. The vivid tones of the moment-the jade greens, royal blues, and Venetian reds—work up quite I gorgeously into patchwork. INDOOR WINTER CAPES. I Dress artists are preparing for an I Arctic spell of cold weather. A good I many of the newest rest, gowns have col- I lars which almost rea-ch the shoulders. FLOWER SPRAY RETURNS. I The fashion of wearing artincial uowerg on evening gowns seems to have brought back the mod of wearing the formal wired "spray" of flowers. Several of the newest models have their plain cor- sages embellished with a spray," maiden-hair fern as well. WINTER FABRICS. I The chiffon velvets, as much in vogue as when they appeared years ago, make some of the best frocks for afternoon and evening. Even the metal cloth, which ie so rich that it needs no support, adopts itself keenly to the fold? and beuffa-ncy it may be required to give. Nearly all fabrics of the summer have been repeated for 'b.e winter, and they, too. are supple and drape easily. In the summer things were mostly silk finish. Now it is wool, and threads are coarser. Most of the stuffs are variations of the silk jersey that used to be the rage. HOOPED FRINGES. I The paion for fringe has not yet left us, but it-no longer has that ugly, ragged appearance, for it is now all arranged in loops. It varies from one to six inches in length, and can be had in all colours. It is being used on hats and scarves as well as for dress trimmings. I THE ANKLE STRAP. I A decided novelty in shoe styles is that of the high apkle strap. It is in the height the smartness rests. Th strap should be well above the ankle bone. CUSHIONS WITH FRUIT. I All the newest cushions display fruit decoration. A long black satin holster cushion has sprays of apples hanging from either end. Needless to say such cushions are more for ornament than for use, and their price tickets put them beyond reach of the average person.

Children's Corner. BY UNCLE JOHN I Thanks—many thanks—to you all for keeping up your interest in the affairs of the Children's Comer, as I am sure readers prefer having your own little letters, stories, poetry, and riddles to anything got up by people who don't I know anything, really, about your wishes. Let us begin to-day with a nice little note from Ena Gjivdon, 4, Tycoch-road, Sketty. Now, please? Dear itnole Jobu.-Thif; is the first time for me to write to you. I find & great interest in your Corner. I am sending you a little verse, hoping to do better next time:— In life's rosy morning, In manhood's firm pride, Let this be your motto, Your footsteps to guide In storm and in sunshine, Whatever assail, Vtfe'll onward and conquer. And never say fail. Another little letter comas ft-oni an eight-year-old, Annie Harwood, 2, Hop- kins-row, Swansea:— I am sending you this letter to ask you would you be willing to accept some of my jokes and riddles. Here is the first one: GIVE IT A BEST. I I've brought my little account, which hat- been standing some time now."— Oh, pray don't let it stand any longer; here's a chair for it." RIDDLE. I I w&s walking along the street and looked in through & window, and I -saw a red man making a black man siiig-giiess what?—It is the tire making a kettle sinR Leslie Stevens, 30, lloreb-road, Morris- ton, ionds us:- THE FOUE-LEAF CLOVER. I 1 know a place where the sun's like gold, And the cherry blooms burst with snows; And down underneath is the loveliest nook I Where the iour-ieaf ciover grows. One leai is for hope and uiio is for faith, And one is for love, you know; And God puts another in for luck, If you will search you will find the place Where four-leaved clover? grow. You must have hope, you must have faith, You must love, and you must be strong, If you'll work, if you'll wait, You'll find the place, and find it before very long.
