A DOMESTIC STONY.
A
Here is a domestic story that indicates the sorry plight we are coming to in English homes, because of the tyranny of the kitchen over the drawing-room. friend of mine was breakfasting the other morning with the daughters of a lady whose chief enthusiasm is the advance. ment of Chinese missions. The cook had failed to come home the night before and in the morning she offered no apologica for her tardy arrival. Nevertheless, in the face of this lack of respect and courtesy, the mother of the girls refrained from lecturing the delinquent in the way they had anticipated and approved. THE SAME TO-DAY AS IN "Isn't it absurd?" said the serious elder

LADIES AND MOTORS. Women are constantly complaining that they receive little real attention from men'' The motor show at Olympia absolves the makers of cars from that charge, at any rato. All the motors show that my lady has been in the mind of the designers. But the feature is especially notable in regard to motor cycles. The fact is that motor eyeling is rapidly developing as a pastime for women. A few years ago the sight of a woman on one of thera would have caused considerable sensation, bat every main road can show them daily nowadays. Numerous machines are shown at this exhibition designed especially for the fair sex, and ladies tailors are making a speciality of clothing for the sport. Some have a skirt that unbuttong back and front to enable the rider to mount the machine, and is worn buttoned up after she has dismounted. But others, and their number is growing, are bold enough to say that this clinging to skirts. is a remnant of out-of-date convention, so they are coming out in tight-fitting. knickers, with leather leggings and a tanic cut rather long.
