In London alone the child barmaids number 1,442, 15 of them not having attained the age 155. Publicans are said to prefer, no a ruler young girls, and in support of this it is men- tinned that in 350 advér isements stipulating age, 220, or nearly two-thirds of the whole, asked for barmaids of 20 gr under.
In explanation of this preference the joint committee aays: "The attractions of girlish inexperience, a pretty face, and a pretty figure probably tend more than any other kind of attraction could do to make a bar seductive, and fully repay a publican for the trouble needed to secure them."--Morning Leader.

But it is exceedingly difficult to buy diamonds at all. First of all, an introduction has to be got to the syndicate that controls the South African diamond market, and when this difficult matter is arranged the buyer awaits his turn-generally he has to wait
about six months.
On the appointed day he goes to the offices of the syndicate and is shown a parcel of diamonds. There is no bargaining; the buyer can alther take, the diamonds or leave them.
