RALEIGHS FOR 1920. The central feature of public interest at the cycle and motcrr-cycle show at Olympia, London, from November 24th to 29 h, will be the Raleigh exhibit at Stand No. 64 and cyclists will find that war has noft h:ndered nor munitions staled" the capacity of the leading British company to produce something better than any other country can show, i The enormous calls made upon the Raleigh factory during the war for muni- tions of a character in which the com- pany's knowledge of the qualities of steel was of special service naturally diminished the output of the famous all- &~eel bicycle enormously, b11: the Raleigh work- are again running at full time and though the output for 1920 will far sur- pass all pre-war records the demand will absorb every bicycle as quickly as it is turned out. For it is an open secret that 100,000 Raleighs will be put on the road next year anl vast though this number may 5eem the trade demands are already j so great that the wise cyclist will been to think about placing his or her order now. For to own a Raleigh is to ride the aristocrat of the road. Its owner-j ship stamps its rider a.5 a real cyclist. Twelve models will be shown at Olympia There will be two lady's and two gent's touring bicycles; two popular lady's and two popular gent's bicycle3; two gent's light roadsters and two speed mounts for path and road respectively. In ad- dition, throe models of the new I?nle:gh motor-cycle will be shown and a speci- men of the frame in rkelolon The 1920 Raleigh will maintain the all-steel con- struction for which the' bioycle is so famous. No malleable iron castings arc employed in the Raleigh as in other bi- cycles—every part is of the finest steel. The liquid-braze joints which are as nearly unbreakable as human ingenuity can doviae (it has been proved that the metal will give way before the brazing) will continue to be a Raleigh speciality; the tubular fork-crown-a complete circle of ficeel instead of the usual iron plate— which gives such immense strength at a Tital point, and those many excellencies of construction which have made the Raleigh famous wherever the British flag flics or is known will all be found again in the 1920 models. Tyres made by Dun- lop wll continue to be standard, eince nothing but the best is good enough for Raleigh, and the Sturroey Archer 3-ipeed gear, which has made cycling easy for hundreds of thousands will be supplied yherever ordered-and the wise cyclist will always specify it. The finish of the Raleigh haj always been its rider's pride; the glittering glory of Raleigh plaiting and enamelling ;8 obtained by processes exclusive to the all-steel bicycle which ensure its retention long after other Bicycles have passed into faded dulneGs. Raloigh prices for 1020 with one excep- toonhaye not been advanced on this year. The exception being the lady's popular model will be X15 SiI. instead of JElt 34s. Prices for 1920 will range from &1Z 5z. to £ 20 lfc. which represents, ap- proximately, an increase of only from 25 to 50 per cent. on pre-war figures. T. enormous output of rhe Raleigh factory has enabled prices to be kept wiithin these limits notwithstanding that labour and material have all increased more than 100 per cent. And in design, in quality and workmanship the 1920 Raleighs wii! be found to maintain the j fToud of the company as the leader of the high-grade cycle manuiac- j tiirwg ooppaaieu of th world.

Children'sCorner. BY UNCLE JOHN Once again my letter-box is so full of good jokes, riddles, and stories from my young friend that there is no room left of the Children's Corner for any talk of mine. Cissy Evans, 12 years old, of New Shop, 59, Brighton-road, Gorse<;non, writes d&- lightl'ully:—- Dear Uncle Jolin.-I have read the Children's Corner many times, and I feel I would like to send a few riddles and jokos which I have heard..

The Day's Gossip. —— Lcader" office, Monday, j Swansea has as a guest to-day a four- teen-year-old Prince, the head of the party of Arabian chiefs now touring this country. But news this morning tells us that an even younger lad is proposed as ruler over a big monarchy in Central Europe. Hungary has been for long in the throes of dissension between Royal- ists and Republicans, but now it is re- ported that the young son of King Charles, Prince Francis Joseph Otto, might be called to Budapest after his father had formerly renounced the Throne. Arabian" Knights." I It is only someone like Robert Hichens, the well-known writer of the greatest London success, The Voice from the Mineret," and other popular Eastern works of fiction, could have done full justice to the picture presented in the large dining room at the Hotel Metropole at which the young Arabian Prince and his suite were entertained on Friday afternoon. It was a truly impressive scene, one which has never previously been witnessed in the town, and, doubt- less never will be seen again. It is rarely, if ever, that a Prince of Central Arabia so young as Faisal-on-Saud has visited this country. Only 14 years of age his Highness is a small, interesting I figure in his rich and picturesque Eastern costume. He has one of the most pleasant I I and sunlit of visages, with a smile that captivates all that comes within its radius. Followed closely by his cousin, Ahmed-Ibn-Thumaizon, who displayed the utmost affection for him, replying to the complimentary observations to his august cousin in flowing terms and grace- ful diction, while a loyal suite of mild, serious-faced gentleman, closely in atten- dance, listen attentively and wonderingly to the strange language and the peculiar scene that presents itself to them. Just a final word. Immediately following the Mayoral function at the Metropole, the distinguished visitors silently moved away with a mysterious grace to a pri- vate room to offer up to Mahomed their thankfulness for the blessings showered upon them that day. I Spanish Spoken Here. I A friend of mine in the outfitting trade urges the great value, and even the neces- sity in a shipping port, of shopkeepers possessing some acquaintance with Euro- pean languages. He points out that very many foreign sailors visit our shores, and often wish to purchase articles of necessity or of luxury. The visitor looks around the shops. When the goods he requires are not displayed in the win- dows, he enters the shop. Now trouble begins, especially if. as often happens, the foreigner's English is very meagre. He knows what he wants, but is unable to ask for it in the English language, the only one spoken in the establishment. The result is deadlock, and the trader loses a sale. Had he but possessed an elementary acquaintance with the native tongue of his would-be customer, things would have been very different. My friend oonsiders that for a port like Swansea, some working knowledge of French, Scandinavian, and Spanish are essential. I "The Fifth." I I Referring to the note in the Town Talk column with reference to the celebration of the 5th of November, a friend of mine says Swansea never lacked in the long ago to pay homage to the historical event. There was excitement enough and to spare. The centre of the town after dark was thronged with people until a late hour, thousands of explosives of numer- ous kinds being discharged, and all sorts of quips and cranks indulged in. "1 re- member one occasion," he writes. when a riot was narrowly averted in Castle- square. Hundreds of people were as- sembled watching the fun near the Castle Hotel. Some playful servants, during the course of the evening upset some jugs full of water from eome of the top bedroom windows. Thereupon the good tempered crowd became instantly wrathful, and before one knew what was the matter there was heard the smashing of panes of glass, many retaliating by breaking the panes of glas^s in the windows of the lower departments, considerable damage being done before the police quelled the feeling of the incited mob." Coal Exports. I The question of Government control or, exports of coal figures very largely in Swansea dockmen's conversation these days. They are, of course, anxious that adequate supplies for the home market should be assured, but subject to such arrangements as will best secure these, and that there shall be no foreign influx into the trade. I believe most of them want the controls to go. Feeling on the question has undergone considerable modification during the year. but I have yet to hear of so dramatic a change in Swansea as was recorded in the textile trade section of the London Chambsy of Commerce a couple of weeks ago. About I eighteen months ago a member of that section mqved a resolution (which was passed) that it should have no trade re- lations with Germany for ten years; now he is moving one that trade with enemy countries should be regarded as properly open. In the Train. I No. 1.—The Card Party.—While travel. ling regularly in the railway train the careful observer meets many good fellows, and so gained often ripen into long friendships, and evergreen memories survive of incidents which occur when in good company. There are the early morning quartet of young men whose business day in a not far distant town commences at 9 o'clock. Their alarum clocks wake them while it is yet dark, and they arrive at the station, after hurried breakfast, with an air of pre- tence that no inconvenience is suffered, nnd that they enjoy early rising. Tlio t-rain is usually about to start when. aÎh-r snatching a paper from the bookstall, they discover an empty compartment. The guard, a very genial character, oomes to the window to wish them Good morning," and to ascertain if the party is complete, and then the whistle is blown. After desultory glances at the early papers, a coat is pulled off the rack and spread across the knees, and for the I rest of the jonrnoy they are immersed in the royal game of Nap," or perhaps the well known card game of Solo Whist. When the cards are on the improvised tabic there is no monotony on the journey pa"t the same old landmarks in a country- wide 1

I F 1 1 Jø I For the Ladies. The COMING FASHIONS. Designs and Patterns of 1 Beautiful Dresses. I By MADAME GWENDOLEN HOPE. I There is no diminution in the cult of the fur coat, terribly high as the prices are, ancj showing not the least sign of I coming down. It is permissable to won- der how all the money to buy these lux- ury articles can be afforded, when the cry comes from all quarters of "not being able to live on present incomes, and people are obliged to give such huge sums for the flats and houses in which they must find a homo. It is the same wiith beautiful fabrics for dreascs and evening coats. Their desirability from the point of view of art is entirely un- questionable but the money demanded for them is beyond what anyone would ever have dreamt a few years agp. A DELIGHTFUL TEA GOWN. A useful and becoming tea. gown is the subject of the sketch below. It is made of velveteen, and is slightly trimmed with fur. It is cut on the simplest straight lines, and is held in at the high waist lin< by a narrow girdle. The cuit of the neck is unusually \pretty, and the straps over the shoulders are a feature. The sleeves are of the elbow length. A narrow girdle passes through the slots at the side, and is looped over in a long bow and ends. For smart and dainty sim- plicity this comfortable tea-gown would be hard to beat. I A SHIRT BLOUSE. I The very sintplo shirt blouse sketched is made of heavy-weight crepe-de-chine. The long roll collar is a fa.shionable fea- ture, and the hand-dono hem-stitching forms the only trimming. The two little pockets are useful and ornamental, and carry the hem-stitching, as do the voke, and the pretty cuffs. The yokt, cut into a slight point at the shoulder is very effective. The sleeves are rather loose, and slightly wider above the cuffs than anywhere else. A PULL-ON HAT. The simple pull-on hat illustrated is made of swathed silk—which can be either plain or fancy—combined with moleskin, a very fashionable fur this year. The making of such a hat is sun- plicity itself, the only necessaries t eing a well-fitting shape and two deft hands. Care must be taken to see that the (I m- pleted hat is big enough to come well down on the head, both back and front, as a pull-on hat shoulu be one in which l to be independent- of hatoins.
