BEST-DRESSED WOMEN,

A woman enrrespondent writing in a London paper says,
~London women and those who coug ta London during the summer-will be given many little surprise by, the thousands of foreign women guests whom London is about to entertain.
Many of thews visitors are already here, and for the next six months London wili provide the most gigantic fashion parade that it has ever staged. Which country. one wonders, will be able to claim the best dressed woman during that time--accord- Ing. London egen l'e

SUICIDES THROUGH JAZZ „SPIRIT.
WOMEN AND ENDLESS ROCIAL

The New York correspondent of a London paper, writing last month said:
A wave of suicide is sweeping over the United States. Within the last 12 months. According to the Save-a-Life Lengue, between 15,000, and 16,000) Ame- ricans, have killed themselves.
The leagne has madé a careful study of each case It gads an alarming in- crease in quicktie among women and children-due largely to the !! juzz, spirit of the times."
Self-destrption among women is tho direct result, the investigators of the league declare, of their newly acquired persona: Eberty. A large rentage of women ended their lives after they had joined a last-set with its endless social whirl of dinners. dangers, and cigarettes, which caused physical collapse and nervous breakdown.”

WHERE TWINS ARE DREADED.
«From time immemorial twins have horn regarded with horror by most-if not all savage tribes recent writer says t I have tried to trace the basis of this belief in many parts of Africa, find the nearest I could come to it was this.
When woman gives birth she is be lieved to produce one woul. If by some terrible misfortune, that should, be divided, what chance can it have in this world or the next 1
A terrible idea, certainly, shen. link of helpless babies being killed bor ribly. (One of the oldest known methods. was to bake the unfortunate twins in a Jarge earthen pot) And yet, as the native truly believes in this half-soul theory, is it so very far removed from our own propaganda against marriage of the unfit?
So deeply do the natives fear that twins may be sent them that such a thing may not be spoken of whers a pregnant woman is present. The idea of ashes, being put into the unfortunate babies mouths is also symbolic of many things, since asbes stands for sorrow all around the world,ENSION FOR OW
It is difficult to realise what a terrible misfortune is the arrival of twins to a kraal unless you know also what fond parents and what invariably happy child- ren cast among the natives of Africa.
