THE DIRE RESULTS OF THE MISQUOTED DRAPERY,

It appears that no error is more ca sented by the feminine world at large- than that of inaccuracy. In describing feminine apparel.

One may say that the tennis player has a bad forehand stroke, that she is in danger of losing her, amateur stand- ing, that she is engaged to marry a man whom she may never have seen, and she remains quiet and contented: but. to any that she plays in a straightline gown of beige crêpe when in reality ship waarsea pleated white pipe is no less than slanderous in her eyes.

Ladies must dress, and treatment of prisoners and of the atti- descriptions, must have a seirutifie aude of prisoners to the tagthods of the cürary to atisfy them. Scandal and rumour may be freely set down for the public without too much objection, from the heroine of the story; her, spirit re minitis peaceful under almost any attack if she knows her clothes will not be lief ed. It was a woman who once said that the consciousness of hring well dressed gives a sense of tranquillity which even religion is powerless to bestow. The practical inferenev is that a department of dressmaking should be added to schools of journalism.

COLONIAL COUNCILS. TWO MOVEMENTS FOR ABOLITION.

The proposals of the Premiers of New South Wales and Nova Scotia to abolish the Legislative Council, or Upper Cham- ber. in their respective States are be ing followed with considerable interest, writes a correspondent of the London Diserver. The circumstances of the two cases are different.

authorities are contained in the Report of the Commissioners of Prisons and the Directors of Convict Prisons for 1924-25, issued last month as a White Paper. There is a tendency to a slow decline in the prison population, attributable maia- ly to probation and the allowance of] time in which to pay fines...

"The change in the attitude of the authorities towards the prisoners, it is, pointed out, has had its natural effect on tart of the prisoners towards the anthorities The prisoner understands that, while discipline is fully maintain- ed, he is being subjected to a scheme of training which has been devised för his benefit. and that the governors and officers with whom he has to deal, though firm in their control, are friends and not enemies. Most prisoners. now consider the inn who conducts himself and resists authority as a nuisance, instead of regarding him as i hero as used to be the case.
