He will be mourned by a very large number of personal friends, and his death is a loss to the Empire, for, which he did most valuable work

AN ARBITER OF THE COIFFEUR.
How I came to create the shingled style of hairdressing?" asked M. Antoine, Come and sit the Paris "coiffeur." down here and we will talk it over.". M. Antoine (his real name is M. Cierplikow- aki) is shortly going to show London the latest styles in shingling and "Etoa cropping." He is, of course, one of the arbitors of elegance in feminine "coif- four."

As for the former of these, it is safe to say that no man work ed harder or did more to make the Ex hibition the great Imperial achievement that it was. Without his forceful per sonality behind it the Exhibition could never have been ready for its opening in 1991, and there would have been no second year. That second year could not have been the success that it was without his initiative and support, nor could it have given the impetus that it did give to the growing sentiment in favour of trading within the Empire. As for the rubber plan, its supporters claimed that it saved the planters of Malaya and Ceylon from conditions which, in 1992, when the plan was put into effect, threatened the very existence of the in- dustry, and that since then it has greatly benefited British-rubber-growers. But not less conspicnous was the work which he did, always without pay, during the Great War.
HIS SUCCESS.
Some courageous young women quickly adopted the new idea; they threw aside their chignons, real or other- wise, and wore their hair cropped in boyish fashion.
The war gave an impetus to the new fashion Women who donned the uniform hesitated not a minuto; shorter and shorter I cut their hair; and hair-dressers in Paris and London followed suit.
