I A committee of the churches of the Treherbert district was convened to con- sider the qiipstion of celebrating the forthcoming Coronation of King George. It was eventually decided not to celebrate the day in any special way, inasmuch as the Rhondda District Council was pro- viding a tea and medals for all the chil- dren. The new road to the top of Craig-y- Ddelw Mountain, Treherbert, is very near completion. The road leads to the spot where a huge bonfire is to be built for the night of the Coronation. _The piles of wood on the mountain top can be seen for miles around.

MORE ABOUT MILLINERY AXD BLorsES.- The nearer approach of the Whitsun holi- days begins to tell on shop trade. Drapers are busy, and buyers are "hustling," to use a Yankee term. Messrs. J. Picton Davies & Co.'s patrons should see what is required for the little ones as well as themselves a week before the holidays come, instead of leaving the whole thing until the eve of Whitsun. This is the time and the hour to be sure of the best things, as well as the best attention. The motto is Come now." The show of Millinery is on a magnificent scale, stnd the Blouses are superb. 535 I Porth.
