Not many days ago I attended a lecture given before the Seltxrurne Society," the subject chosen being "Oloth'ps, as a Human Naot-ure Study." The lecturer betrayed a curious ignorance of women's ideas on the clothes Question, for he seemed to think he had solved satisfactorily a problem that has puzzled women for many generations—how to get a new frock when rfie (the woman) has sTX-nr. her dreps aliowance. "Buy." ea-id the lecturer, "fourpennyworth of butter muslin, borrow a couple of broo-ebef, and make a Greek* tunic." Women reject with scorn euch rough-and-ready advioe. A feminine abor- igine might profit by it, but not women in an advanced of civilisation—to wit. the damsels and da.mes of tihde twentieth cen- tury. Possibly, the lecturer "spoke sar- castic*" (?) Primitive modes do not appeal to the exigent woman of our day, unless, indeed, she be a disciple of Maud Allan, or any other of thoee posturing; dancers, who think clothes fett,ering and well-nigh superfluous. Butter muslin, for^xrth! when the ri-cliest of velvets, the handsomest brocades—in fact, the very "best of every m'3te<rialj", demamded to satisfy the prodigal clothes instinct that is trulv innate in women. It is one of the prominent a.nd compel) ini? influences thv prevail with our &ex. It is a passion, thi- love nf pretty clothes. It always was. it and it always will be. Ingrained in every woman's nature, it is only when she lofcs self- respect and becomes demoralised from any cause, or is despetrteiy unhappy, that she cea-ses to care for her looks. Pa,esing over that one remark, le-cturor. Mr. W. M. Webb, guve his rearers a gteat, deal I of very inte'f'lt;¡: information as to thoe origin aa-, history of fashions both past and present. For example, we heaxli flint the ornamemtal clock (embroidery) on our hosiery had its origin when stockings were made of cloth, the seams being pla-ced where the "docks" now are used as a decoration. Arkwright's machine revolutionised the stocking trade. Again, the ornamental "point-s"-as the stitching at the back of the glove is called in trade parlance —correspond to the gores between the fingers. These originally were continued along the back of the hand, braid being employed to hide the seams. Petulant April. "O! To be in England now that April'e here," cried the poet Browning. All the same, the sincerity of his aspiration appears doubt- ful. when it is a, well-known fact that Brown- ing took care not to be in England, but in Italy, in the morning of the year. In this month we ail require clothes, be the day warm, wet, or cold. A coat and skirt, with a da-inty blouse to wear with it, is the most sufficing of toilets. It meets the occasion exactly as an outdoor dress. A light-weight tweed or serge, simply made, but a perfect fit, is a suit that, to quote Jane Austen, "will take you anywhere." We may think that the final word about blouses was said last week. Not so. That last word is never said, justify- ing the saying that "In the lowest depth there is ever a lower deep"—this in spite of the laws of comparison as laid down by Lindley Murray. The "last" word about blouses, most certainly, is never said. A week ago we discussed the merits of the "Magyar," or seamless, blouse—the very latest output, as we supposed-but to-day one has some- thing to say about blouses printed all over in Paisley patterns and colo-aTs-;blouees that do not feel it is incumbent on them to match the dress skirts they accompany, but demand recognition by ignoring the apparently worn-out decree that similarity of colour between skirt and blouse must prevail. One of the loaders of fashion has pioneered the Ptadsley blouse, and as more than a dozen years ago daring contrasts between these garments met with Fashion's approval, so now her sanction has been given. to the return of that fashion of contrasts. It cer- tainly gives considerable liberty. We oa.n now wear our coloured blouses gamp fashion —"turn and turn abomt." Delightful and wide is the vista of change that presents iteelf to the imagination. Net blouses worn over coloured edfllk slips are very popular. I eaiw a dress of pa.le blfUe cadiimgre worn -with a blonee of Bmoke-ooiloored net; a folded belrt Off purple gilk Imtfroduoed a thdrd colour, and •wdftih excellent effect. It certainly requires a oomeot eye to pla/n a oomtbdna-tiioti of colours -when three or four are introduced. Fashion grreotly approves these colour mixtures; self- colours that harmonise when united, or otherwise shaded materials that can be made up alone. Yet. with all this love of colour, a more or less suibdued effect is the result of the modern combination of many colours. Net a.nd lace continue to play an important, part irn the programme of fashion. It is certain that halif-tenigth semi-transparent sleeves will be worn. Those of lace, tucked net. or of chiffon requite frequent renewal; but there is a fish-net that will last as lonig as the dress itself. A grey olotlh dress, with fish-net sleeves in the same colour—made by a well-known firm in Regentstreet-haA proved the durability of this make of net. The wearer told me the dress had seen a great deal of service, and the net sleeves had never been renewed. I pass on the informa, feion, for transparent sleeves to the elfbow are still fashionable, and likely to continue so. Stringra- Strings are attached to some of the newest hats. Mammoth structures with wide brims and aspiring crowns many of them are. I believe that there are shapes that measure more than t,wo yards in circumference. It is this size, no doubt, that has led to the return of strings. If placed outside, near the crown of the hat, and then loosely knotted under the chin, the extravagant size of the brim is less conspicuous. Green. Fashion looks coldly on green, the spring's colour though it is, but at the sale of Irish lace, etc., held lately at Grosvenor House, her Royal Highness, the Princess of Wales wore a costume of green velvet, with toque of velvet, to match; and the Marchioness of Londonderry ad- wore green. As the first day of the saJe was St. Patrick's Day, it was surprising the wearing of the green" was not more general. Veila. Very long veils have been mentioned as likely to return to fashion. As yet, it is only the veils of brides that have grown longer. They are, in fact, very lengthy, and are mounted on light wire frames that are invisible to the outsider. Some New Millinery, Leghorn hats with wide brims and fine black chip hata of a, similar shape a.re favourites with the milliners, and in some of the shops a reasonableness of trimming is observed. The wide brims are not caught up or down in any of the eccentric fashions often conspicuous, the hat, so far as shape is concerned, being unaltered from the time it left the makers' hands. One Leghorn hat of this kind was entirely covered from the outer edge with black fish-net, except for a epaoe about the size of a five-shilling piece in the middle of the crown. The net was closely giarug-ed at the base of it, a bow of Royal blue Telvet being the only additional trimming A block chip hat was more than half smothered with wh-at country people call "bleeding hearts," meaning gillyflowers, nasturtium-coloured velvet being applied with these flowers. There are plenty of hat crowns covered with tiny flowers, and colours that our forbears would have said "set their teeth on edge"—if put together-are boldly associated. For instance, a toqlle massed over with mauve stocks was crossed with a broad band of red velvet. Another sample, covered with pTnk flowers, was further decorated with an imposing bow and pendant ends of velvet in the deep shade known as Royal purple. We are used to. and like, the blend of faint colours that seem to melt into each other. These daring contrasts 8,re much less pleasing. Grilled Mackerel. This is oonsidered the best form of cooking a nsh that disagrees with many persons. It it an oily fish, like salmon, and if grilled it is much easier of digestion. Great care must (be taken to ensure the freshness of mackerel. It should be split open down the back, cleaned, and wiped dTy; then grease the bars of the gridiron, pepper the fish, and broil it over a very olear fire. When sufficiently cooked scatter salt over it. and a little run butter. Serve very hot. Oooked in this fashion, mackerel makes a nice breakfast dish. Orange Gin. This is a desirable way of using Seville oranges, which are only in season for a short time longer. Take the rinds of eight Seville oranges and those of eight large lemons, peeled very thin; put them into one gallon of gin for four days, and then strain off the spirit. Have ready four pounds of loaf sugar, boiled in a pint or so of water. and while still very hot add it to the spirit, and stir until well mixed. Wheal cold put in bottles. and seal the corks. Orange Brandy Liqueur. I To half a gallon of the best brandy put the rinds of nine Seville oranges and one-and- a-half pound of powdered sugar oandy. Iyeave the brandy with the peel and candy in a stone jar for a month—the jar should He shaken occasionally; then dmw off and Ii bottle for use. This liqueur will be fit to drink at once, but is improved by keeping the spirit on the peel for a year or so. Grange Bitters. This tonic is esteemed as a promoter both of appetite and digestion. Braise one ounce cf Seville orange peel, without any of the pulp adhering, half an ounce of lemon peel, half an ounce of whole ginger, and half an oiaaoe o £ gientfao root* pia*re then ineredieot* oiaaoe o £ gientfao root* pia*re then ineredieot* in a jar. a-nd pour over a. quart of boiling water. St«ep the wihole for ten days, then strain, bottle, oork. and seal for use. A Delicious Liqueur. The delicious liqueur known as Maraschino is also made of Seville oranges, and this is a recipe for it:- Take the rind of twelve Seville orangfes a.nd that of five lemons. Slioe them very thin. add three pounds of lump sugar pounded, and steep them in an imperial giullo-n of the 'best gin for four days and nights; then strain through. mruslin. BotitIe and cork well. K-eoep in a oool cellar. To make a nice sauce for fowl or ptarmi- gan, hoiJ. some veal griavy with pepper, salt, and the straiin-ed juice of one Seville oran.ge and one lemom. Brawn from Cowheel. This is a Jew's recipe. Boil the oowheel in water (about three pints) for eight hours; leave it to get cold, and remove the fat. Prepare a strong gravy from gravy beef, seasoned with pepper, salt, mace, and a shallot. Cut the soft part of the heel in pieces, add a few slices of boiled tongue, calf's or sheep's, with a little of the root out very thin. Rinse a mould in cold water, and put in it alternate layers of cowhoel PTid tongue. Strain the gravy, add it to the cow- heel stock, a.nd a ta.blespoonful of mushroom ketchup. Heat the whole, and fill the inou.]A with the hot gravy. When cold turn out. Any pieces of co\vheel that remain over can be (tipped :n batter a.nd fried. Chocolate Pudding. Grate two ounces of Oadbury's oh-KX»late. ani mix it to a smooth paste with two tablespoonfuls of boiling water. Boil one pint of milk; die-solve in it half a teaspoonful of vanilla P-ca.t thoroughly four and ?{.;r them into the chccrlate; add by degrees, stirring all the time, a.r.d in the sa.me dir«*oticHi, m:ik. Pour the whole into a, buttered mould, cover with btuMe-o-l paper, and bake in a moderate oven fcr half an hour. Serve with whipped oreim. and stick all over with blanched and split sweet almonds, porcupine fashion. Lemon Honey for Cheesecakes. One quarter of a. pound of butter, one pound of lump su,-a.,r, six eggs (leaving out the whites of twoi, and three lem.or-'S; grate the rind of two of them. Beat the eggs slightly, put them with the butter, sugar, and the juice of three lemons into a pan. Simmer very gently over a. slow fire, stirring all the time until the mixture is as thick as honey. Pour it into a jar, and keep in a cool place. If well covered down, the lemon honey will keep for some time. Banana and Grange Salad. Peel six ba.nanas and cut them in slices, also two China oranges, first removing pith and peel; save all the juice that escapes during the proooss. Place the fruit in a bowl, sprinkle sugar over, and add a squeeze of lemon ju ce, a tab lampoon fnl of brandy, one of curacoa, and one of orange juice. Leave the fruit in the bowl for an hour, turning the contents carefully over from time to time; ther pile the fruit in a glas3 dish. Whip with some caster sugar three- quarters of a pint of cream; when it is thick heap it on the salad.

ASTHONOMICAL NOTES. Saturday night's great meteor, described in these Columns yesterday, was not the only one of the week. The previous Sunday even- ing (March 20) at 9.20 p.m. Mr G. H. Gunn saw a bright one at Llanishen. It moved from west to east through the constellation Cassiopeia, and emitted sparks. The Astronomical Society of Wales closes it's winter session on Friday evening, when (by kind permission of the library authori- ties) an exhibition of photographs, (frawings, books, &c., will take place at the librarian's room in Trinity-street. The attendance of any member of the public interested in these la invited. In April Venus will be a brilliant object as morning star; Jupiter is south before midnight in the constellation Virgo; and Mercury will be an evening star at the close of the month in the north-west after sunset. Astronomers are no more immune than other mortals from the vicissitudes of life; but it is not often that one of their number meets his end by assassination. This, how- ever, has been the fate of M. Charlois, who was m-irdered under specially brutal circum- stances The distinguished French astronomer was a mighty hunter of planetoids, of which tiny worldlets he discovered a great number. There has always been more or less difficulty about finding suitable names for these little worlds. and many years ago I wrote if Charlois suggesting Claudia as a suitable one. To this request I re-ceiyerl a nice letter informing me that he had bestowed that name upon planetoid No. 311 discovered by him, and which it will bear henceforth in perpetuity. A. M.

Mr. A. T. Williams (the e«,rls agent), who is a candidate for the LI ansa,inlet, ^msion on Glamorgan County Oouncal, has authorised Aildermam J. Jordan to confirm the report. Mr. "Williams, in addressing a meeting announced that the hundreds of woridmg' men who had by their thrift built bouses on Lord Jersey's land would be given the oppor- tunity of buying the freehold. AU leasee, he said, of over twenty years' unexpired could be purchased aA the nominal value of 30 years; others also at a low vaiuotion would be offered. The announcement has created a very favourable impression, especially amongst the small holders, who will readily take advantage of the earl's generosity. Lord Jersey has from time to time during recent years given ground to Llainsamlet for two perks—one at Ronymaen, a recreation ground "where the local fair is held; a large burial-ground adjoining the Parish Church, and an extensive area of land to the trustees of Tabor Welsh GaJviniistic Methodist Chapel for a burial-ground. The parish council have also been granted one of the best sites in the place for building a hall; and, besides other gifts of the earl, Zion Welsh OaJvinistio Methodist Ohapel, Pemiel Green, and the English Mission-ihiall are among the causes which have iei«Lml free grants of the giovsaA tfce tomfcin)C» -w erected apea.

WELSH C..LNI. FESTIVAL AT CAliDlFF. t MR. THOMAS THOMAS'S 22 YEARS' SERVICES REOOG-NISED. Like ite predecessor, the twenty-second annual singing festival of the Welsh Oalvin- istic Methodist Churohee of Cardiff and dis- trict, held at Bethany (St. Mary-street), on Good Friday, was eminently successful from every standpoint, the spacious edifice, kindly lent by the English Baptist friends, being died with congregations who entered thoroughly into the spirit of the festival, and whilst participating individually in the sing- ing, appreciated greatly the excellence of the general effect of the renderings, under the canductorship of Mr. E. T. Davies. F.R.C.O. (Merthyr), and the accompaniment at the organ of Air. J. D. Rees (Crwys-road). In the morning the children's meeting was presided over by the Rev. Cuthbert Thomas (Canton), and Mr. Edward Jenkins (Radsr) occupied the chair in the afternoon, when congrega- tional tunos and anthems were rendered, and the uaual programme was varied in a pleas- ing manner by addresses of congratulation and eulogy to Mr. Thomas Thomas, senior deacon at Pembroke-terrace, who has acted fcrtiringly and with excellent results as sec- retary of the festival since its inauguration 22 years ago. No man has done more to ele- vate congregational music and to popularise singing festivals in South Wales Nonconform- ist circles than Mr. Thomas, and it was fitting that the speeches on the occasion should be accompanied by four presentations of valu- able and appropriate gifts, subscribed for by his admirers throughout the district. An illuminated addreas, setting out Mr. Thomas's invaluable services to the cause of sacred music, was handed over to him by the Rev. Cuthbert Thomas (Canton); five volumes of Hastings "Dictionary of the Bible" were presented by the Rev. T. J. Jones (Morgans- town); Mr. Thomas Thomas (Talworth-street), conveyed to his namesake five volumes of Grove s Dictionary of Music and Musicians," and a oheque, representing the balance of the subscriptions, wa.s presented to him by Mr Evan Jones (Pembroke-terrace). In acknowledging the gifts in a feeling manner, Mr. Thomas paid a graceful tribute to .the original committee who started the festival, particularly the lobe Mr. David Eva-Ha (Docks); Messrs. David Morgan (Can- ton). Thomas Davies (Docks), and David Wil- liams (TafF's Well), who were, in their day, foremost in furthering its interests; and also to Mr Hugh Jones (Crwys-road), Mr. John Thomas (Pentyrch), and Mr. Enoch David plot lands), who had been faithful workers at the rehearsals throughout the 22 years. It might be added that Mr. Thomas, to whose assiduity as secretary the success of the festival is largely, due, conducted, when 15 years of age, a Taff's Well choir, which took a. most creditable part in several of the old Gwent and Morganwg festivals, including MMae at Llantrisant, Dowlais, Cardiff, and Pontypridd. At the evening meeting, when Bethany was again filled. Dr. Thomas (Taff's Well). presided, Dyfed delivered a chiaraoter- istic.ally interesting address, and Mr. E. T. Davies gav« an organ recital, which was STeatly appreciated.

SWANSEA Y.MC.A. SIR JOHN LLEWELYN AND THE GROWTH OF THE MOVEMENT. Sir John Llewelyn, presiding at the mnniw.i Foster breakfast. of the Young Men's Chris- tian Association at Swansea on Easter Mon- day. gave interesting statistics of progress. In five years there had been an increase of 500 members, and a new building suitable for present requirements of the Y.M.C.A. was absolutely necessary. The Y.M.C.A. had now a total membership of 850,340, and its build- ings were increasing both in numbers and in quality. Mr. T. P. Cook had been made chairman of the building committee. Mr. Smart told him (the speaker) that in all departments, despite the difficulties, reports were highly encouraging. They had loet a good ma.n in Mr. John Cory, of Cardiff, a great friend of the Y.M.C.A. He had left mODJeY to them, but his great gifts were the sympathy he gave, and that would live on. Later, in replying to a vote of thanks and a word of congratulation on his daughter's wedding. Sir John said his daughter was to be married to a good man. (Applause.) He was ohadrman of the Bethnal Green Board of Guardians- not Poplar! (Hear, hear.)
