UNNECESSARY DEATH."
Coroner And A Christian Science Patient.
The selection of pictures has been made with a certain amount
of discretion.
In 1900 there was the picture portraying the unhappy pedestrian who, having been knocked down by an automobile fairly representa- tive of the vehicle of the period, was asked by the "Motor Fiend": "Why don't you get out of the "I cannot see why when Chris-way?

In fiany of the pictures we get away from technicalities entirely, as in the one depicting an early char-a-banes party being hurtled through a village while the guide shouts through a megaphone:---

not have it," said the coroner to Major George Davies, the husband, at an inquest at Thorney Hill, Christchurch, on Mrs. Margaret Davies, a Christian Scientist, who died, from cancer.
She had been attended by Christian Science practitioner.
A verdict was returned that Mrs. Davies' death was due to disease necelerated by failure to provide medical treatment.
Major Davies, questioned by the coroner, said that he also was a Christian Scientist and he did not call a doctor, because such a sug- gestion would almost have killed his wife. He thought that his wife had a secret dread of cancer, which was the reason for her treat- ment being unsuccessful,
The coroner told Major Davies that his wife had lost her life un- necessarily.
"I cannot blame you," he added, "but if she had been your child it would have been a different thing."
SKELETON IN FOREST.
Two Telegus Sentenced To
Death,
After a lengthy trial, the two Telugus, accused of the murder of another Telugu coolie, were sen- tenced to death at Perak Criminal Aesizca..
At the conclusion of the case for the prosecution one of the accua- ed elected to make a statement from the dock in the course of which he stated that detectives, had maltreated him. He made TO statement regarding the alleged confession he had made to a magis,

The second accused gave evi- dence on oath and made the start- ling claim for the jewellery which the prosecution stated belonged to
the dead man.
The defence submitted that the prosecution had failed to prove the coolie in question was dead, that the coolfe had been killed, that such killing was murder and that the accused had done the killing.
The accused were charged with the murder of a Telugu coolle whose skeleton was found in the chikus, forest reserve over a montli after he was reported missing.

LOVELY GOWNS.
Teagowna are not the least im- portant items in the feminine ward- robe because they are kept for use at home.
The cleverest dreas'designers are not above Including tengowns among the models they launch, from season to season, and no trousseau is complete unless it includes two or three of these comfortable and luxurious garments.
As no intelligent woman sees the
alightest reason for looking any thing but her best at any hour of the day, she requires her teagowns and other garments planned for rest hours to look as attractive as her
frocks.
Flowered chiffons are used for some of the loveliest teagowns,' others are made from printed chiffon and tinsel brocade, others from rich, shining satin, others again from delicate chiffon and even more delicate lace.
White chiffon printed with a de- sign of yellow and blue and red flowers is used for one model. it is trimmed with frills, and has a soft fichu collar round the shoulders. Ribbon, the design and colouring of which matches the chiffon, is used for a teagown made with a train. The material is white pat- terned in red, yellow and black. The
ribbon is used as ruche above the hem of the three-quarter length sleeves, and along the edge of the narrow, panel train.
Black and gold lame patterned in a bold design of rather bright groen leaves is used for a teagown the low cut back of which would do, credit to any evening dress.
