Mr. Morgan, who is at present in England enjoying the amenities of his English home, Wall Hall, near Aldenham, Herts, has also bought the Bedford Book of Hours, and is holding it for the Museum, who have the option of raising £33,000 to buy it
The British Museum therefore needs to raise the sum of £64,500 within 12 months to save these two treasures for the nation.
Mr. Morgan, who lent the £31- 600 Tree of interest for 12 months, In order that the Psalter might be bought from Mrs. Alfred Noyes, its owner, paid a visit to the "Museum a few days ago, and sa

Mr. Morgan also saw the Bed- ford Book of Hours, which was bought for him by Mr. Quaritch, the expert dealer in old manus- cripts.
He expressed a keen desire to keep this book in his own posses- slon, but, nevertheless arranged with the Museum authorities that they should have an opportunity of buying it during the next 12 months at the same price at which Mr. Quariteh bought it. Both books are to stay in the Museum in the meantime.

Beauty Hints.
THE USE OF THE ROLLER.
Whether you want to remove some all too superfluous flesh, im- prove the contour of your legs and arms, or break down a double chin, you will find that the use of a "roller" is the quickest and safest method of achieving your end.
Rollers designed on the"""bead" or "ball plan are the easiest to manipulate, and are quite
the most effective. For reducing the hips,
or getting rid of flesh below the the belt, or on the back, a larga roller le required, and one of the best I have seen has a frame of thick elastic bord with its "bails" strung on wire. It is atted with
a pair of handles and worked across that portion of the person you wish to reduce, very much on the lines of a brisk rub with a Turkish towel.
Those Too-Plump Legs. For legs which are too plump about the calves there is a very special roller shaped to fit around the calf and fitted with three "balls"..or beads. This, also, is worked by holding a handle at each end, and the beads are re- volved as the roller is worked, and break down the fatty tissues very quickly.

It should be work- ed from the centre of the chin immediately beneath it, rolling towards the ears, first on one side, then on the other. Here a certain amount of pressure may be exert- ed, but when it is used for rolling from beneath the chin to the base. of the throat the pressure 'should' be of the lightest.
.
These little rollers are also very useful for applying feeding cream to the face and throat. A too thin throat is greatly benefited when cream is gently rolled into the hallows, and the small rollers also help to smooth out wrinkles across the forehead when a good cream is rolled into the skin in this way.
