TOPICS OF THE HOUR. No doubt the tours of Ministers in con- nection with the housing campaign ape very excellently intentioned, besides be- ing useful for political purposes; but I .cannot help wondering, writes "Diarist" in the Westminster Gazette, whether they will not be met in some districts with blunt que.stions as to the reasons why housing is not proceeded with. It is not that local authorities and private con- tractors are not anxious to get on with building; it is the economic question which is the difficulty, and it will be strange if Dr. Addison is not reminded that fhe economic difficulty is the affair of the State. The reel trouble is the high cost of materials, particularly of timber, without which houses cannot be built; and as the timber comes largely from abroad explana- tions will be required both as to prices and shipping facilities. If Ministers are prepared to tell the whole truth, well and good-we shall know where we are. But if the speeches are to be mere rhetoric, Ministers had better stay at home. The giving to Admiral Beatty and Field Marshal Haig of the Order of Merit brings the list of military members up to seven. The civil members are twelve, consisting of four statesmen Lord Morley, Lord Bryce, Lord Haldane, and Mr. Balfour), four scientists (Lord Rayleigh, Professor Henry Jackson, Sir Joseph Thomson, and Sir Archibald Geikie), two authors (Mr. Thomas Hardy and Sir George Trevelyan), and one musician (Sir Edward Elgar). There is no woman. Is none judged to bo worthy? asks the Manchester Guardian. The Report of Mr. Justice Bankes's Committee on aliens in Government em- ploy is interesting, but curiously academic, says the Pall Mali Gazette. The Com- mittee seems to have been most anxious that no injustice should be done to any- one, and to have behaved with the great- est propriety. The fact remains, however, that the country is still ignorant of the reasons why aliens are employed in Government offices at all. In an article on "Government Waste in Everyman, Captain Wedgwood Benn, D.S.O., M.P., protests against the same people remaining'in control of the expendi- ture of Government Departments who were responsible for the wasteful methods followed during the war. That, he says, is disquieting. There is no change. The bureaucrats who wasted money when the Germans were hammering at the line ttnd there was no national energy to spare to stop the waste, are still cheerfully in com- mand. This fact produces well-foundedr suspicion in the mind of the public-an ap- prehensive readiness to detect new waste. And there is plenty of material. The man-in-the-street, when he is told that War establishments are being closed and the departments demobilised, cannot understand why there should be an enor- mous increase in the vote for the depart- ment which provides accommodation. If the swollen Government establishments are to be reduced to a reasonable size, he would like to know why the vote for their accommodation is increased from three millions last year, with the War in its most critical phase, to seven millions this ear.

WOMAN'S REALM. DRESS — FASIiS ON- HOME. PREVAILING STYLES. At the moment of writing, the Queen says, fashion has led us in very pleasant ways, for never has our wilful Directress dec road more charming colour- schemes, nor permitted more liberty of choice in the matter of liotdi materials and styles than those upon which she smiles with such favour to-day, At first sight one might almost say that the balance of popularity inclines in no particular directio that the short sleeve and the th full skirt and the tight, all strike equally important chords. Eut presently, slowly but surely, we perceive that this is not so, that, an underlying in- fluence permeates those models which our natural instincts claim. By way of example, take the billowy drape-riee of a frock designed to lure the lover of graceful folds, beneath which, however, one discerns the restraining skirt, whilst the sheath-like outline of an- other ia subtly disguised by fringes mount- ing from hem to waist and floating panels at either side. A PRETTY SUMMER FBOCK. The more elaborate materials may still be ahle to demand and obtain an extrava- "g-ant outlay in money; at the same time, there are certain lines even yet that clo not call for emptying the ffcirse over the counter of the draper; and the delightful dress in the sketch is made of one of these lighter priced fabrics. It is made of pale PATTERN NO. 2,443. blue foulard spotted with white and the tunic is drawn in at the bottom with big white tassels, which add a most graceful finish to the overdress. The bouquet at the waistline is another very pretty touch. BEAUTY UNCURLED. When someone in his wisdom saw fit to I curl ostrich-bathers, he never, probably, I dreamt of a time when his labours would be undone and lank fronds would replace the once smart fluffiness so "high-prized by the smart Victorian woman, a writer in the Sketch says. There are sonic feathers whose lank appearance would deceive their ow-, parent ostrich. 'I Whether glycerine plays any part in the I process of taking from the natural plume such featheriness as Nature g-ave it is a secret the milliners have so far kept to themselves. Still, the object of their labour does not always wear a dejected appearance. The tufted glycerine mount that appears cn the front of a high-crowned aerophane medal is far from looking depressed. A DAINTY BLOUSE. The extremely pretty blouse illustrated is made of pale blue voile, which is em- broidered with fruit in pink and white shades. The blouse is cut in Magyar fashion, and the sleeves are large and loose; a desirable fashion for hot-weather I PATTERN No. 2,444. I wear. The npk is cut in a V, and two V- shaped lines of stitchery are carried cut all round the blouse. The fruit is em- j broidered in clusters, and any variety or any colouring that tones with the shade of the blouse could, of course, be chosen. TO-DAY'S RECIPE. INVALID JELLY.—Take half an ounce of gelatine, six ounces of lump sugar, two eggs, half a pint of cold water, and a quarter of a pint of lemon or orangerjuice. Rub the sugar on to the orange or lemon- rind then put it into a saucepan with the water, sugar, and gelatine. When quite dissolved, add the strained lemon or orante-iuice. Just let it om to a boil:

Mr. Hobfirt Hampden, at the wish of the parish of Hampden, historically asso- ciatecl wiiit John Hompden, lias written to 1 the Wycomoe Rural Council offering to | make a new road by the picturesque com- mon as a war memorial. Fourteen horses were burnt to death. three motor cliars-a-bancs were destroyed, and an extensive range of buildings was gutted by a fire on Tuesday on the pre- mises of Mr. Joseph Lowe, haulier and contractor, at Srnethwick. I Dressmakers in practically all important, firms at Reading came out on strike for a 36s. minimum wage.

A-llow it to cool a little; then pour into a .vet mould, and turn out when quite cold. HOW TO OBTAIN THE PATTERN. We can supply ixaper patterns each week o: the sketch bearing the number below if.

When some French critics bitterly de- clared that America came into the war for profit, there was a sense in which, they were right, remarks the Nation. The necessities of Europe make an opportunity which American financiers do not intend to neglect. Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan and Mr. Vanderlip. two of America's great- est financiers," have now declared that American money and resources must be pooled and poured into Europe. The Government of the United States must co- operate with American bankers and Euro- pean Governments in mobilising American dollars to help the old world." Unfortun- ate old world No doubt that presently Mr. Wilson's astonishing conduct will be easily read. The American financiers are stronger than merely sound financial advice. The Common Cause urges that the time has come for the extension of the Parlia- mentary franchise to women on the same terms as men. The French Chamber, it points out, has passed a measure confer- ring full adult suffrage and eligibility on women in France and Algeria, which is awaiting the decision of the French Parlia- ment. German and Austrian women ob- tained full suffrage and eligibility when they threw off imperial rule. Each has got v/omen members in its first democratic Parliament. Holland is granting full suffrage to women, so is Sweden. The American Senate has passed the Federal Amendment. Even Spain and the Spanish Republics of America are rapidly moving towards Women's Suffrage. There is no time to lose, declares the Common Cause, if the British race is to keep the lead which New Zealand cap- tured for it a quarter of a century ago, and which the.Mother Country has now made her own. British statesmen in Paris have gained for women the right of eligibility to every post under the League of Nations. What can they do better when they come home than press forward the full political equality of British women with British men? Many people will be surprised to hear. that there is at least one wild herd, per- haps more, of fallow deer in England. For 0 many years, a Country Life correspondent writes, a herd of wild fallow deer has held its own on the forests between Ror" sham and Tunbridge Wells. Their spoor may be traced in the mud by the sides of streams or in the boggy tracks of forest drives. Sometimes the deer may be heard whining and stamping, but they are not often seen. These deer often cross the railway liM, "although the lines in this high country are nearly all in deep cut- tings. This herd belongs to no man, and is thought to have descended from some deer that probably escaped from a pad; many years ago. They are, however, larger than the fallow deer of our parks.
