The Day's Gossip.I -
The Day's Gossip. I Leader Office, Thursday. ( The Two Minutes* Silence has taken ] many of us to the poets to see what they i have to eay appropriate to the great hush that fell upon the land on Tuesday. The best line is certainly Wordsworth's: Ne'er caw I, never felt a calm 60 deep. But there are others almost as good. Campbell, in the Battle of the Baltic," has been quoted: There was silence deep as death, And the boldest held his breath. For a time. And R. L. Stevenson's lines were brought into use by one journal' Through the trance of silence. Only the mightier movement sounds, and passes, Only winds and rivers- I Life—and Death I Then there are the two lines of Long- fellow (" Morituri Salutamus ") • What shall I say to you? What can I say Better than silence is? I And Owen Meredith's: I You know There are minutes when silence, pro- longed and unbroken, More expressive may be than all words ever spoken, We know now a little fuller the meaning of the Sophoclean line! Silence oppressive with too great a weight. Tuesday's was not the sweet silence of Henry James, but something infinitely greater. The Cross.. J There, black against a blood-red sunset it stood—the cross surmounting the tower of a church. A fitting spectacle at the termination of the anniversary of perhaps the greatest day in the world's history. It was symbolical of the cause for which so many of our sons had made the great sacrifice. People in the distance paused and gazed at the silhouette standing out against the fading light, and their thoughts flew to other lands where other crosses marked the spots that would be for ever British. The Cap'en. t He must have dated from the Cape Horn days. I instructively associated him with windjammers and wretched hideous voyages whose buffetings he seemed to have withstood very well. He was certainly picturesquely, albeit solidly. clad, and I have encountered him on many mornings at the same spot. Ap- parently he has a fixed daily itinerary, which, of course, embraces the Docks. But he halts punctually each morning opposite the ivied towor of a Swansea church, to adjust his timepiece. His watch is the counterpart of CAptain Cuttle's, and he is as brisk, too, as the hearty old character. He unbuttons many thick garments to produce his watch, and hauls it from t.he depths of a capacious pocket. Having secured the time to the minute, be contemplates the article affectionately and gently lowers it into the hold once more. Then he carefully re-buttons and marches deter- minedly on his usual routs. There is something curibusly rugged and foreeful about the old-time sea-captain—-he always reminds me of Mr. Galsworthy's Jolyon Forsyte." 'Buses and Trams. ) In view of Swansea Council's projected J application for powers to run omnibuses in the borough, and from its boundaries in several directions to adjoining places, a recent report to Bournemouth Tram- ways Committee Is interesting. The engineer presented the following com- parative figures:—Cost: Omnibus, tl,800; tramcar, 93.000; life-omnibus, 15 years; tram, 15 years; oast per mile-omnl;bus, 26.39d.; tram, 12.91d.; cost per passenger -omniblue, 2.02d.; tram, .85d. On the matter of relative vehicle, costs, this is very illuminating information, but Swansea, if and when it gets powers, will have to consider many other aspects of the question, one of the principal being the huge cost of tramway trook construc- tion. But all these are matters for con- sideration after the powers have been secured. The Lady Bank Clerk. I Although many of her companions have voluntarily relinquished their appoint- ments at the Bank, now that the young men have returned from War. one very I demure, delightful little fady from a neighbouring town still catches the early train, and returns home time for tea. Always tastefully and daintily dressed, with a novel under her arm, she has <#i^ulajly miingled with the business throng who habitually walk the platform each day. She has a smile for everyone. and the youngetar, on his first morning tr:p gees out of iiis way to cal;:ch her eye whiLst he raises his hat. More than once I have seen her smilingly refuse an illustrated daily paper proffered by a well-intentioned gentleman, the needful having been supplied by an earner opportunist. Then, in the corner seat, she would nestle, only epoaking when addressed, but adding eolonr and charm to the very ordinary furnishings of a railway compartment. Water-Boatmen. I Water-boatmen, declares I'loamer," are very interesting creatures; I do not mean the Mumbles or longshore variety, but the insects. They have six legs, two of them very long on-%s, and they always swim upside down, rowing themselves along with their two long legs. The un- observant would more than likely think it was merely a beetle that had fallen into the water and unable to right it- self. A small girl friend of mine kept some as pets, and they paid an excel- j but dividend in amuttemeut. (

-f For the Ladies.  ——— —i I I The New Coat Frock. i ( An innovation in the coat frock line is the new feurrean frock. This is I made to button from neck to hem, and underneath you can wear a ekirt and thin blouse, if you desire to leave the frock undone, or else the "feurrean" frock i can be worn tdrnply over the ordinary j petticoat. WINTER WRAPS AND SUITS. I The favourite material for winter suits I is very broadly striped tweed, in shades j of green, blue, brown, and sometimes even orange, all combined together. On i those striped suits, fur does not look so j well as on plain material, and collars j and cuff-facings of tan leather are in- j fiiiitely the smarter. Nearly all this J season's coats, with the exception of a few j made after the riding-habit style, are belted. Big coats, too. mostly show a I half belt in front, even if they are made I loosely behind. The latc?st models in wrap-ooats aro showing much fuller And more elaborate lines. The tight bodice, I with the full skirt attached to it, rather I in the Directoire style, is extreuwly popular in gabardins and velvet. Another attractive pattern is one which shows a little shoulder-cape of material in front, | which stretches over the shoulders and becomes a loose panel behind, this panel J having a loose sash-belt tied either be- hind or in front, rather below the normal waistline. LATEST IN FURS. j Imitation furs seem to be the rage, I Bunny dyed to mole, beaver, seal, and squirrel shades are in constant request I as a-trimming to frocks and coats. I
