from where the beast was last seen yesterday, after it had led its pur- Huera a wild danco.
They went to play with a cat in the attic of the building. Here they found a wooden chest which closed with a spring lock. They opened it and sat down in it. The heavy líd fell, closing the box so tightly that the children could not open it.
They called and cried, but no one heard them, and they became unconscious from fright and lack of air.
Meanwhile their absence was causing great anxiety, and the desperate parents searched in all directions, at the same time calling on the police for help as It, was feared that the little girls had been kidnapped.

REVIVAL OF PETTICOAT,
New Dress Designs Forecast.
The pettlesat. which Women BO
discarded carelessly 1в
during the war, is to be revived. Dress de- signera and artists in London and Paris have concluded that with the new graceful evening dresses it is necessary for women to return to the custom of their mothers.
The life span of every French child would be divided into de- finite perioda, the beginning of each being marked by a thorough medi cal examination by Government appointed doctors.
The first examination would be made at birth, the child's physical defects and characteristics being carefully recorded. The second
would be taken when the child en- tered a primary school, and the third when the child entered the stage of adolescence.
Military Service.
The next examination would be
military
Women who adopt the "return to the petticoat" vogue will have the satisfaction of realising that not only are they providing an artistic setting for their evening gowne, but they are giving work to Not- tingham industrialists. The new petticoats are to be executed in
satin and lace.
This is in fact, to be a satin and lace season.
