I see a lot of space is belog taken up in the paper by letters to the Editor on the question of high rents. I must confess I have not London paper, but whether he been able to follow the arguments will be a husband, fiancé or just on either aide very closely, for it a boy-friend is not stated. Smart women who aro also wise have alt seers as bewildering as the controversy about silver and paper already taken to weating heavier dollars. Of course, I am all for pearls at evening parties, for at no everything but seaso is there such danger of bringing down salaries, and any sebeme to in catching cold than at this time of crease income and reduce expendi- year. ture will have my hearty support.

Many years ago I remember visit ing an old temple in Canton, and was told it was hundreds of years old, and had had nothing done to it in the way of repairs or exten- xions since it was first built. think my landlord must be a lineal descendant of the cove who built that temple, for nothing has been done to my domicile since it was first considered able to stand alone without being propped up with bamboo graffolding.
The bathing belles pf Repulse Bay and Castle Peak are muffled now, but the new fashions, though effective, are quite simple, as you wili ace from the following:
Mabel's rock is simply it,
Simply lined with fur. Mother's coat is simply great,
Simply made for her. Simple satin, eimply sewa,
Simply thrills sweet Hetty, Simply georgeous is the gown
That simply shines on Letty. Father simply has a fit
When be views the frilla, But father simply doesn't count
He simply pays the bills!

The driver of a taxicab in Bom- bay waited five days on the quay, with his meter running, because his fare went away in a ship with out paying him. The police found that the driver's licence had ex- pired during those five days, and so arrested him and charged him! with driving without a licence. He had eaten and slept in the car, and has expressed his intention of re- maining where he was till his fare returned.

The festive season is now at hand, and once more proof will be available of the assertion that Christmas comes but once a year. As most of my readers are prob- common ably aware, there is a anying to this effect, but it is not so generally known that I have kept careful watch on the progress of events for close upon seventy
years, and have found that, with out exception, even in leap year, Christmas dors in fact come but
once a year.
Although nobody has ever made a song about it, Easter also comes but once a year-a striking coin- cidence to which attention does not appear to have been called hither- to. At this time of year you fre quently hear people say, rather apologetically: Ah, well; its only once a year!" just as if every other annual event in the calendar does not also came round once a year. Anyhow, the time has ar- rived to think about new frocks for Christmas parties, and new clothes f
