Woman is asserting herself as Mis tress of the Modes" this season. She has challenged the supremacy of the men dressmakers, who have hitherto dictated the feminine fashions of the civilised world, and by sheer force of originality and ingenuity, combined with an under- standing of the dress needs of her sex, she is taking control of fashion in many unexpected directions.

This remarkable change in fashion dictation is demonstrated by the dress displays now taking place in Paris, whose women dressmakers have led the revolt agaiast mannish modes.

Palace Without Bathroomsi " King Edward spent considerable sums apon improving Balmoral shortly after he came to the Throne, and bringing it more into line with modern requirements. As an example of the conditions that prevailed before he took the place in hand, it may be mentioned that there was not a single fitted bathroom throughout the Castle, and even the most distinguish- ed visitors had to be content with a hum- ble slipper bath" in their dressing- rooma.

Early in his reign King George also carried out improvements at Balmoral, while the Queen personally supervised practically the entire refurnishing and redecoration of the Castle, which now presents a very bright and imposing. appearance. There is however, little about the place to denote the Royal status of its owner beyond the scarlet- coated footmen, the residence being arranged with a single eye to comfort. Mere show or ostentation in any shape or form is very distasteful to both the King and the Queen.

But he likes Joseph Conrad's novels, and a complete set of them is to be found in each of the Royal residences, along with the works of Kipling and Hardy.
