I LONDON GOSSIP. CHRISTMAS IN SWITZERLAND. Egypt and the Riviera remain the chosen winter playgrounds of a great portion of the fashionable world, but, of late years, Switzerland has become a very popular re- sort for leisured people. The season lasts I from about the middle of December to the beginning of February, and there is a never ceasing round of all kinds of winter sports. These are already in full swing at Sit. Moritz, and Grindelwald, where the hotels are, by no means expensive. Skat- ing, ski-ing, curling hockey on the ice, tobogganing, bob-sleighing, and picnics occupy the day-time, whilst at night the, choice lies between masked balls, private theatricals, and moonlight excursions. The air is cold, but dry, crisp, and ex- hilarating, whilst the, sun shines for eight or nine hours dalily. The Duchess of Marlborough has recently taken her younger son, Lord Ivor Spencer Churchill, to St. Moritz, in the hope that, he will benefit from the bracing climate, and Mr Hall Caine is amongst the many well- known people who will spend Christmas in Switzerland. In the ordinary way the usual winter costumes of tweed or serge such as ar worn at home, are all that are wanted, beyond an extra short skirt or two for a sporting holiday of this kind. I THIEl BOUGHT1 PLUM PUDDING. There is an old, but not yet superan- nuated maxim-if you want, a thing well done do it yourself—and this certainly applies to the making of the C'hriistmas pudding. The growing fashion of buying ready-made puddings at the storekeepers- like one buys jams or confectionery—is one more sign of the fading1 away of the romance of Ohristmas but as a rule, the bought plum-pudding' is a poor substitute for what, the good housewife can produce, and it lacks the sentiment that attaches to the family pudding, in which is hidden the nimble sixpence, the silver thimble, the wedding ring, and the unobtrusive button. In the old days, the kitchen was the heart of the Kingdom at this time of year, but the modern tendency to spend Christmas away from home has weakened the traditions of the festival in this re- spect, in not a few families, to the disappearance of the home-made pudding and its time-honored associations. THE SCOTTISH WOMEN APPEAL. The House of Lords has decided that the Scottish women graduates are not entitled to vote for the University Mem- bers of Parliament. The names of the women graduates of each Slcotitish Uni- versity are on the Parliamentary Voting Register, and in the Act enfranchising Scottish graduates the word "person" is used, not "man." It was therefore con- tended that the word "person" included women, and that according to the statutory law they were entitled to the vote. The 'Court of Session twice decided against this view, and the House of Lords has upheld this decision, on the ground that when the Act of 1868 was passed, women were not, admitted to the Univer- sities, and the Legislature did not there- fore contemplate the possibility of the word "person," including women. That undoubtedly was the case, but when Miss Macmillan was arguing the point in the House of Lords, was told by Lord Loreburn that, she could not discuss the intentions of Parliament, but must confine herself to the law and facts as they were. That may be good law, but the judgment of the House of Lords is based entirely upon what Parliament meant, not what Parlia- ment did, and in the face of this ruling, it does not seem very logical, at least from the way women look at things. WOMEN AND MOTOR OARS,. As time goes on, more and more women are found driving their own cars, and it is said for them; that they are the most careful drivers, never losing their heads when facing a traffic problem, or dis- covered responsible for an accident. More- over the woman who drives her car is usually particularly keen on thoroughly understanding all the workings of it, and exceedingly interested in improvements either in the chassis, or the engines. The idea, of women becoming drivers of motor omnibuses, or cabs, is of course ahsurd, the work would be far too heavy and dirty for them, but as tutors at motor schools, or chaffeurs, at country houses, where a man is available to overhaul and keep the car clean, there would seem to be yet, other openings for women. LUXURIOUS TRAVELLING. With regard to the coloring of cars this winter, there is a decided tendency to indulge in startling hues, such as cherry- red, and bright blue-stripes too are much seen, azure and black, light and dark yellow, green and blue, being the choice of many a wealthy woman, who sees to it that the inside fittings of her covered automobile leave nothing1 further to be desired. The lining, whether of cloth, brocade, or leather, is chosen with a view to setting off the owner's toilettes and complexion, and there are little hanging cushions for comfort on a long run. Pouches for letters and papers are fixed within comfortable reach, also folding' writing slab;, replete with escritoire materials. A fitted tea basket is tucked away beneath the seat, also a fitted dress- ing case, a triny book case, and a first aid case, and in the roof and sides are placed sunken electric lights. Truly the wealthy have theiir "Sittings" made very easy and comfortable for them nowadays. < » ABOUT TEA GOWNS. The one fabric tea gown is rarely seen, all. the best among such creations relying upon at least one underdress to complete a color scheme. For instance, particu- lar happy combinations much in evi- < dE nee, are mole tones worn over soft, pink, pale green, heliotropes, or primrose. The » underdress is usually of the softest silk I 01* satin, the gown itself beiing1 of some

"The easiest way to succeed, my boy, is to give the people what, they want." "N 01, sir; you are mistaken.

THE LONELY KAISER. What has become of the German Em- peror 1 For over a month he. has been neither seen nor heard. Potsdam seems to have been almost as completely paralysed as Yildiz Kiosk. One wonders, indeed whether there is not a, resemblance I t between the two cases, and whether the famous interview of November 17th was not in effect a "coup d' etat similar to that which transmuted the absolutism of Abdul Hamid inlto the constitutionalism of the Committee of Union and Progress. It is true that the resemblance is not exact even if this hypothesis is justified, for the political paralysis of the Kaiser has not re- sulted in any corresponding transfer of power to the elected representatives of the people. That, however, there is some re- semblance—that is. to say, that the Kaiser has been placed polit-cally under a certain restraint, which is not agreeable to him seems clearly enought indicated by the sensational paragraph headed "Reaction," which appeared so prominently in the leading columns of the "Koelnische Zeifcung" the other day. The object of this paragraph was to warn the German people, on the one hand, against Reaction- ary intrigues to set aside the compact of November 17th, and to warn the Emperor, on the other, against the counsels of his new "camarilla," which, it was boldly de- clared, could only bring about "the bank- ruptcy of the Crown." The apprehension underlying this statement is curiously similar to that with which the Young Turks regard Yildiz.-ILucien Waif in "The Graphic."

FOOTBALL, AND THE CHURCHES. NEW MOVEMENT AT HOLYHEAD. A gathering of footballers and others interested in athletic games was held at the Holyhead Town Hall on Sunday night, the large room being packed with an orderly crowd. The Chairman (Captain M'Kinstrv), who is the president of the Holyhead Swifts F.C., said that he could not understand why the impression had got abroad that footballers were outside the pale of the church, and he hoped the councillors who had objected to allowing the Town Hall to be used for this meet- ing would be converted by the orderly proceedings to a belief in the respect- ability of the followers of football. The meeting was adressed by the Rev. R. Jenkyn Owen, who bore testimony to the splendid behaviour of the players and spectators on the previous day in the match between Holyhead and Oswestry. The Rev. D. Lloyd and the Rev. D. J. Lewis also took part, appeals being made to keep football and other games free from gambling, bad language, and drinking. zn

semi-transparent fabric. Thel neck of the up-to-date tea gown is now very generally cut square, and filled in with lace, or tuck- ed net, the sleeves to maltch being of the fashionable tightly fitting persuasion and reaching to the wrists. THE "ALMSBAG" POCKET. Bands of fur decorate many of the smartest indoor gowns, especially those built of voile, crepe de chine, and similar fabrics. And the latest idea is to supply with such gowns huge "almsbag" pockets, which are fashioned of fur to match, and slung from the waist by means of narrow fur bands. The effect is quaint of course, but sometimes it is just a little heavy, and the bag itself made of the same fabric as the gown, much gathered and rucked, and simply tfrimmed and slung! with the fur bands, is perhaps a happier arrangement. [ BLUE SiEThG Ei AGAIN. Blue serge is having an immense vogue, but not simply cut and neatly braided as in days gone by. It is fashioned upon much more extravagant Lines, one blue serge toilette which found a place in a recent trousseau being trimmed with black satin, several bands of this material ap- pearing upon the skirt, and also being utilised for the large pointed revers, and long-tucked sleeves. 'The notion of hav- ing sleeves built of similar fabric to thait which trims the gown is a happy one for the renovator as the somewhat rapid change from the loose "bag" to the tightly- fitt,ing rucked, gathered, or pleated sleeve, ,is placing many of us in grave difficulties. Mill, MARION CRAWFORD'S TRILOGY Readers and admirers of Mr Marion Crawford will greatly appreciate the beautiful special presentation edition of his trilogy. "Soprano," "The Prima- donna," "The Diva's Ruby"—in limp crimson leather, which Messrs Macmillan have sent out for Christmastide. Those of us who have followed Margaret Donne's career through "Soprano" and "The Primadonna" will be even still more charmed and fascinated with "The Diva's Ruby" in which Mr Crawford takes us from T'artary to London, thence to Bay- reuth, and later to the yacht, where the adventures of the prima donna culminate. 41111œ'mrI'IIS-
