HOME AND FASHION. A LETTER FOR MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS. BY MADAME ROSE. A BEAUTIFUL EVENING GOWN. EL VET gowns, both for day and evening wear, have become al- most an obsession with the fashionable woman this winter. It is certainly a picturesque and becoming mode, this vogue for velvet, for nothing sets off to xi. better advantage skin, hair, and eyes than this rich and beautiful fabric, while its lovely lights and shadows and admirable draping qualities make it capable of conversion into the most exquisite of gowns. Of course rei sijk velvet is very costly, and beyond the reach Oi many of us, but tho new velveteens are so lustrous, so supple, and so beautifully dyed that make an admirable substitute for the real thing. A really handsome evening frock can be made from one of these new velveteens for a. very reasonable sum, for the material is so beau- tiful in itself that it requires but the minimum of trimming and the simplest of making. Take, for instance, a velveteen of a delicate leaf-green shade. The skirt of the gown should be per. fectly plain, cut very long all round, slightly trained at the back, and gathered all round the waist. Nothing could well be simpler, but a. skirt of this description is the ideal thing for a velvet gown. With regard to the bodice, I would advise two wide draped bretelles of the velvet springing from the draped velvet waistband in front, carried over the shoulders, and just slightly crossed at the back before being taken into the belt. Under these bretelles should come a dainty filmy bodice of lace, lightly em- broidered here and there with touches of gold or silver thread. This lace under-bodice would be very pretty made with softly-draped cross-over fronts, and puffed and frilled elbow sleeves adorned with green and silver ribbons. Above the crossed fronts might be arranged a tiny chemisette of shirred net, banded with minino threads of silver, and finished with a tiny frill at the top. A twist of silver ribbon and green vel- vet in the hair, and a cluster of pink roses tucked into the waistband, would fitly complete a really beautiful and most original gown.

A NEW TRIMMING FOR HATS. PRETTY BUCKLES. — Quite the latest and smartest addition to a black velvet or felt hat is an enormous clasp, which is called, I believe, a Venetian buckle. This buckle consists of a aeries of very large glass gems, in all sorts of vivid colours, set'in a heavy and almost Eastern- looking frame of oxydised or silvered metal. The colours of the stones are as varied and gor- geous as possible. Thus orange, blue, green, purple, and red will all appear in the same buckle; and, though one might expect the result to be bizarre rather than beautiful, the effect is in reality very good.

A SMART NEW COAT. FOR COLD WEATHER.-This ie, par excellence, the season of warm, cosy coats, and this winter the coat models are prettier and more enticing than they have ever been. I had the privilege of inspecting a few days ago two or three dozen new coats, all intended for cold weather, and all extremely smart and becoming. It was a diffi- cult task to select among so many charming garments the prettiest and most modish example, 'ut my choice fell at last upon a really beautiful affair of pale fawnish-grey cloth trimmed with mink. This lovely coat carried with it some faint suggestion of the popular Empire style, for it was made with a sort of short upper part entirely oomposed of cnt bands of the cloth, arranged in perpendicular lines from the thoulder to just below the bust. These bands were taken into a shaped strap of the cloth. well stitched and ornamented with buttons, which encircled the figure just below the arms, and dipped down sharply to a point in front. From this band the coat hung m rather full folds to below the knees. From the neck turned back a wide round collar of mink, which nar- rowed quickly in front and ended in two long points, finished with fancy ornaments of silk cord. The sleeves, somewhat of the bishop typ<», were taken into deep round cuffs of the mink, and were sufficiently large to allow of the coat being worn over any kind of frock without crushing the sleeve beneath. A lining of white silk completed this charming coat, which was quite smart enough to do duty as an evening as well as a day wrap.

ABOUT MOTOR-CAPS. A MODERN NECESSITY.-The enormous, flat, and very unbecoming motor-cap which was so much worn about eighteen months ago has hap- pily disappeared and at last given place to a much prettier and more suitable affair, which is infinitely smarter in appearance and much easier to keep on the head. This new motor-hat is quite small, has a little, low, round crown, sug- gestive of a jockey-cap, and a narrow brim, slightly wider at the back than the front. It is made in felt, velvet, cloth, or serge, and is gene- rally trimmed with a band of ribbon round the crown and two Mercury wings. The indispens- able motor-veil which accompanies such. a hat ia carried out in chiffon, gauze, or crepe-de-chine of exactly the same shade, and is made long enough to go twice round the throat and tie in a smart bew in front.

THE VOGUE FOR EMBROIDERY. WORK FOR BUSY FINGERs.-The craze for embroidery of all kinds has become so pro- nounced a feature of present-day fashions that one really begins to wonder to what lengths it will be allowed to go. Not content with pro- fusely adorning blouses, gowns, costumes, and coats with beautiful specimens of needlecraft, we have now proceeded actually to embroider our hats. Many of the latest and smartest millinery models display charming designs worked on to the velvet or felt of which the hat is composed in chenille and silk, mingled with effective touches of gold and silver thread. These em- broidered chapeaux, being so extremely orna- mental in themselves, require, of course, but little trimming to complete them. A couple of long ostrich feathers placed on one side of the hat, and held in place by a big buckle of crystal or enamel, or a few large choux of velvet or silk, constitute all the trimming necessary to these modish and becoming hats. Another devel- opment of the embroidery craze is the deep shoulder-wrap entirely made of lovely needle- work. This wrap, which usually takes the form of a sleeveless cape, is fashioned of some rich fabric such as cloth-of-silver, cloth-of-gold, beautiful brocade, or fine ivory cloth, as glossy and expensive as the richest of silks. Though these lovely materials form the basis of such wraps, very little of them is visible in the finished garments, for they are almost hidden beneath an elaborate all-over pattern worked upon them in silk, chenille, and tinsel thread. These magnificent wraps are completed by an edging of fur, and are in every way articles do luxe.

CONCERNING SLEEVES. ALL LENGTHS SMART.—Quite a. controversy is raging modistic circles as to what is the cor- rect length and shape of the fashionable sleeve. The fact of the matter ie that all three lengths— elbow, three-quarter, and full length, are equally smart, provided they be worn with suitable gar- ments and on suitable occasions. As an aooom- paniment to the plain, severe tailor-made of morning wear the neat, full-length coat-sleeve is the proper thing. It should fit rather closely to the lower part of the arm, and not be allowed too much fulness even at the top, and should be as simple and unobtrusive as possible. For more elaborate tailor costumes, suitable for afternoon and calling wear, the most fashionable sleeve of the moment is of three-quarter length. It is generally arranged with a puff to the elbow and a tight-fitting cuff coming half-way down to the wrist. For all dressy occasions, soft flowing afternoon frocks, evening gowns, and smart blouses the elbow sleeve is ubiquitous. It is in- finitely varied in shape and size, but is always j short enough completely to clear the elbow, even I when it is supplemented by one or more frills of lace or silk.

A DAINTY BONBON BAG. FOR HOME-MADE GOODIES. -Nowadays it has become so much the fashion for girls to take an interest in sweetmeat-making that I have no doubt many of my readers have become quite proficient in the art, and have even risen to the achievement of dainty and quite original bon- bons. Now some of these delicious home-made Bweets would form a most acceptable Christmas present for one's friends and relatives, who would, I am sure, doubly appreciate the gift if it. were presented in a dainty box or bag. A bag is, in my opinion, even more suitable than a box, as it can be used as a work or opera-bag when the sweets are consumed, and will wear and look nice for a long time if it is well and and look nice for a long time if it is well and prettily made. The prettiest shape of all for a bonbon bag is, in my opinion, the round or purse bag, as it is sometimes called. This is made from a large square of some handsome material, which is lined with a dainty flowered or embroidered silk or some similar fabric, and edged all round with a minute cord or galon. A slot is then run in the shape of a circle touching I the four outside edges, and leaving out the corners. A ribbon is threaded through the slot, the bag drawn upj, and the corners pulled well out to nang over the bag. The sweets should be enclosed in a bag of pretty Japanese, paper be- fore being put into the silk bag, eo that they Cannot make it sticky or stain the lining.

I "Wlheoi the coughing fits attacked me, I turned lailimost black in the face. These attacks so affected my head that I continually suffered from headaches.

LLANDUDNO TO COLWYN BAY A RAILWAY SCHEME AXD ITS SEQUEL. At the Liverpool Assizes on Thursday, Mr Justice Lawrence deliver-e-d judjgment in the case of- Smith v. Marshall, which had been ar- gued before him on the previous day. Messrs Smith and Co., contractors. of South,ixxrt, claimed for JB250 on account of work done and materials supplied, from Messrs Marshall and Cixjwther, financial agents, under the fol- lowing circumstances. The paintiffs had con- tracted on certain conditions, to construct for the Welsh Electric Traction Compa-m- a line from Llandudno to Colwyn Bay, at the price of JB75,000, witli the proviso that they should not be required to begin work until a sum of £ 17,000 afterwandis reduced by consent to £ 8,000, "was actually in the bank, and avail- able for payments to the said contractors. The defendants had an engagement with the com- pany to finance the undertaking and in their turn endeavoured to form a limited company with a view to floating debentures,but in August 1904. the position was that while the JB8000 was still undeipotsited the time of the provision- al order giving authority for the works was afcou!; to expire, and the plaintiffs,, fail'in- such deposit of cash, had not begun work. There was imminent dlanger, therefore, of the whole thing collapsing. On August 29th, the defen- dants signed and delivered to the plaintiffs a certain document, and the question left to his Lordship to determine was whether this docu- ment was a direct promise to pav to the plain- tiffs L250 in consideration of their caviTi,, the situation by at once commencing work. or whe- ther it was simply a guarantee on beha'f of the Traction Company. His Lordship held' that the wording of the document was qu'ffe consistent with plaintiffs' view that it was a direct promise to pay them for all work done by them on the line after that date to an amount not exceeding £ 250, and all the facts pointed to the same conclu- sion. He therefore held that the document was a promise to pay, aaid gave judgment. for the plaintiffs. In case, however, that this view might be held on appeal to be erroneous he also held that even if it were a guarantee he couild. see nothing in the case which would re- lieve the defendants from their liability to thp. plaintiffs, though in that case the nlaintiffs must have obtained a certificate from the engin- eer, and the defendants would have a remedy ovler against the company.. In either case, he saw nothing which relieved the defendants of their liability to the plaintiffs, and he accord- ingly gave judgment for the plaintiffs, with costs. A stay of execution was asked for, and granted on the usual terms. ATEPA1TERS' MEETING! AT COiLWYN BAY. On Wednesday evening, the first annual meeting of the Colwyn Bay 'Ratepayers' Asso- ciation was. held in the Public Hall. Mr John Tu-clier, president, occupied t.he chair. The Chairman '(Mr PurdV) stated1 that a re- presentative of the Light "[Railway Company had asked permission to address the meeting, but he ruled that the present was not the proper time to hear him. Subsequently the chairman introduced the question of the pro- poised deviation of routes, and he strongly ad- vocated that the old Toute should be adhered to, namely, along Prince's Drive to Penrhyn- road. He believed Colwyn Bay had nothing to gain but everything to lose by allowing the tramways to pass through the main thorough- fares. Colwyn .Bay could not be improved' by tramways, but it could be destroyed, and it was for the ratepayers to decide whether thiey were going to make Cblwyn Btay or to ruin it. Mr Thomas Buckley strongly opposed the proposed1 new routes on the ground that it would destroy that Testfulness and quietude of Colwyn Bay, which had in the past indluioed visitors to come to the town, and in many casies to settle down later as residents. There seemed to be some influence at work in various wayta toying to get the new scheme pushed through", but he believed it was not in the in- tereste of the town. Mr George Maxell (Abergele-road) said that if the routle was to be altered, he thought lilt would 'be. advisable to allow the tramway to come along the main thoroughfares of the town -at least from a tradesman's point of view. Councillor William Davies, speaking as' a ratepayer, asked the meeting to preserve an open mind Mid to help the 'Council to do the best in the interests of he town. He should, however, oppose any proposal to take the tram- way along the promenade. Mr LIlley was.opposed to any deviation from sifabl' + E adhered to. If it was de- and a £ ramway between Colwyn Bay and Old 'Cblwyn he was in favour of the Coun- cil having the nece&sarg power, laffld was strongly against such power "being given to a private company. He was given to understand that compensation would be given by the com- £ ^y+iI!ire for,"J of k€0Pin £ "P the roadways, not sufficient width of There was Schools for a teSnwavteSnDea/ ,the CV>U^11 ill'!? the TW>itinr> nf +v, safety, comsidler- nig xne position of the schools.

Those trees would' have to go, and would thus destroy the beauty of Conway-road, i which the Council had been cultivating. So fa.r as the shopkeepers were concerned it was extremely doubtful if the tramway would be beneficial, and for litis own part he thought it 1 was in the interests of Colwyn to oppose 1 the new scheme. He moved that the meeting confirm the action of the (Council in deciding to oppose the scheme. seconded1 the motion. Martell asked to state that he < was opposed' to the traanway being taken alorur the promenade. Mr Tucker and MOllS Laland having spoken in favour of the Council being supported, the resolution was carried utMmmbusIy. THE COLWYN BAY COUNCIL DECIDES TO OPPOSE. At the monthly meeting of the Colwyn Bay a-nd Colwyn Urban Council on Tuesday, it was refported that at a meeting of the Council in < committee on Friday, the deposited1 plans, sec- < taons, draft order, etc., with respect to the a^p.icniion of the Llandudno Electric Tram- way Company were laid before the meetinig, 1 and the Surveyor described the line of the ori- guial route, and aJso the new route which showed the proposed abandoanent of the ori- ginal route as between Greenfield-road and the Colwyn Bay Railway station. The agreement i between the Council and the company dated August 1st, 1906; was referred to, and several < points witih respect to clauses of the draft order were discussed. The following resolution, had als-o been received from the Ratepayers' Asso- 1 oiations: — "That this meeting views with alarm the application now being made by the Llandudno and Colwyn Bay Light Railwav Co., Ltd., for powers to run cart; ailong the new Promenade and Conway and Abergele-roads, and respectfully urges t'he Council to oppose such scheme at any cost, feeling sure, that the introduction of a light railway along their thoroughfares would greatly damage Colwyn Bay's reputation as a. quiet health resort, and be a source of danger to children in the vicinity of the Board School, and invalids and others using tihe roads." The solicitors of the Council were authorised to take the necessary steps to oppose the order, and it was resolved that the Council deal fur- ther with this matter in committee. The Clerk now read a letter from Mr A. B. Maccartney, on behalf of the Tramway Co., asking the Council to meet a deputation to discuss the matter of the new routes. The Clerk also stated that he had communicated the wishes of the Council to the Parliamentary agent, and had retained the services of Mr Hutchinson, who was subsequently approached by the Tramway Co. with a similar object. The Council decided to meet a deputation from the company, and to hold a special meet- ing of the Council prior to meeting the deputa- tion to consider what policy to pursue.

"A BIT RUN DOWN!" THEN ACUTE INDIGESTION, BILIOUS- NESS. PAIN S IN THE SIDE, BLURRED SIGHT, TORTURING HEADACHES. RELIEF CAME AT LAST, THROUGH MOTHER SEIGEL'S SYRUP. When you feel "a. bit run down" don't neglect the warning. Don't think It is nothing, that it will pass off, or that you will "shake it off." If you have an exceptionally strong oonstitution you may perhaps shake it off for a time; but—it wi?I return. and ere long you will find yourself in the grip of acute indigestion. This was the experience of Mrs Mary Ann Frobisher, 22, Armitage iStreet, Castleford, Yorks, but Mother Seigel's Syrup restored her health. Writing on May 21st, 1906, she says.: "Some ten years ago I was kept so busy, bav)mg both business and a house to look alter, that mealtimes never came round for me.

SUNDAY GOLF AT LlANDUDNO. REPLY TO MR FITZSIMMONS. OBy Rev D. GWYNFRYN JONES.) tlJ^TW^? th t folJowinK ktter from the Rev D. GKvynfryn Jones, Welsh Wesleyan minister, of Llandudno: "y In your issue of last Thunsday (December 6), there appeared a report of the annual din- ner oi the Llandudho Guardian Society for the 1 rotection of Trade a certain Mr T. H Fitz- simmons, the president for the year, occupied the chair. I do not know Mr Fitzsimmons, but after some inquiries I have been informed that he is one of the many licensed victuallers of our town. Now, it may be that the Presi- dent ox the Guardian Society is neither better nor worse for being a licensed victmalter. Still, I must say that it was gratifying to me to learn that the embittered efiervesenoe of the Guardian Society about the "dishonest and Pharisaical piety" of Llandudno emanated, alter ail from this source and not from any other. Lioettuaed victualens, are geaieralb- a respectable class of people, no doubt, and I would not cast any aspersions upon them. Not- withstanding, when I want to learn what is true, religion, and true morality, I instructively turn to some other quarter. Mr Fitzsimmons's presidential Speech proves rather conclusively, I think, what he does not posee&s, all the necessary refinement and spiritu- ality of a moral censor. Judging him from his own lips, he knows nothing about an--? well- being except that which is temporal, his only test of a. moral commandment is the almighty doiiar. We must respect the tried moral pre- cepts of the human, race if they brine custom- ers to our counters, guests to outr parlours, and consumers of alcohol to our bars but if they do not bring aJl this, then we m'ub!t ignore them, cast-them to limbo, and. construct a new decalopie breathing the vitiated atmosphere of a "low commercialism." Without anv reflec- tion .upoin. Mr Fitzsimimons, I quote his vitu- perative language, and call this "awful non- sense." Again, not to say anything about Mr Fitz- simmonisi's enplated figmes,-Jtfhe £15,000 or B20,000, which we are said to loise annually because of our "dishonest piety," I venture to think that if Mr Fitzsimmons's ideal will ever prevail at Llandudno, the annual Shortcomings of OUT- town will be considerably more than £ 15,000 or £ 20,000. Much as some people dis- like it, morality pays a. wonderful dividend sometimes. It must, he remembered that all the 40,000 or 50,000 people who vi&it our beau- tiful town a.re not all Sunday golfers, nor even t Parisian butterflies, the grand majority are sane reUgiomsts, citizens of tfoe Empire which Jhens been built with the sinew, the blood, the thought, and the sacrifice of our Puritan, an- cestors; sobered people, who, because of the taint which fc m their blood, love tlhe peace, and the quietude of the British Sabbath. Now', if we destroy that peace, multiply the offences' a mighty class of people will withdraw from t our midst, for which even a contingent of Sun- day golfers cannot compensate. Mr Fitzsimmons waxed eloquent in his speech aboult, "fresh air" and "beautiful surround- ings." This is not new. We have heard it iso often in a.11 "the beautiful and fresh" speeches of the would-be sponsors of Sunday traffic. It is an innocent little verse which they learn one from another. It is not a marvel. It is only a little bit of "stock-in- trade." Still there is a marvel, and it is this, —that these iconodants,—these sworn enemies of "Pharisaical and dishonesty piety'' are un- able, with all their keen insight, to nerceive that Sunday s-olf links, tramcars, and a Sunday market in chairs, are not the synonyms of "fresh air and beautiful surroundings." Between me and Mr Fitzsimmons, there is at least one point of accord. Like the Presi- dent of the Guardian Soeiet- T, too, think that when we hear such rubbish, as we have lately heard on this vexed question, it is "honestly time that the owners of propery and the ra.te- payers in the town should have the courasre of their convictions, and shouild give utterance publicly to the views which they privately profess." When flhis is done, I am perfectly confident that the actions of our respected coun- cillors and others will be fully endorsed. Thev are amone the meet honoured and responsible citizens of our town, and to apply to them the terms "Pharisaical and dishonest," is bellicose and ungentlemanly. December 7th, 1906.
