THE HORRORS OF MODERN

AN AMUSINO CHAT WITH

MR. BERNARD SHAW:

"They are trying," I murmured." It "only shows how long suffering we are."..

"It only shows that you will sacrifice any. thing sooner than let us see you as you are, „instead of letting ut imagine you as you are "not. But look at the consequences. A humen figure with a certain thing bung round it from

"I should advise a woman to dress as much as possible like a man. A woman is a biped, buite like a man I let her dress like a man.". Hurriedly rushed away from the day. gerous proximity of the topic.

Er-er-then you disapprove of this nice skirt of nila?" I spread its vevlet folds seductively round my chair.

"Not at all. "That's a nice skirt, on doubt

you look very nice, and the whole effect is "Pretty enough; bui, my dear lady, you don't

look like a woman ? "

"Well, what do I look like then ?" 1 asked,

shrieking with laughter. Was it for this 1 bid 'donned my best and brightest? |

There's no name for it," said Mr. Shaw, perplexedly, looking me up and down, quite seriously. "I don't know what to compare you to; a fashionably dressed woman looks like nothing in this world. I know, of course, there is a woman inside it, because I can hear her voice and sea her face and hands. For the matter of that I know that there is a man in- gido Jack in the Green, but the Green in a -- man; it's a fracíful object actuated by a con-

cealed man.

Well your costume, which is very pretty, is a fanciful object actuated by a concealed woman.

. To sum

up finally, the moment you get a woman with legs And without a corset shape, she's charming; cted otherwise, she ceases to be human."

"How the sight of your fellow-creatures must affront you, Mr. Shaw("

"Oh, no, I'm accustomed to them. I've got used to them the same as I have to people smoking and putting meat in their mouths and other filthy things."

ed in a blue ground composed of a' magneslan conglomerate-so phenomenal is the occurren- ce of diamonds in this particular deposit that in the early days the alleged existence of the Tones under such conditions was denounced by geological experts as an impudent fraud. However, the mines are formed by eruptions taking place in a strata of unknown depth and the conglomerate forced up through weaker lays above forming extinct volcanoes.

One of the most pecoliar incidents in connec flon with the diamond fields is, that, although these early discoveries were made in the neigh bourhood of Cape Town no mins has ever been found there.

When the soll has been sufficiently picked,

raked and barrowed at intervals, and is dis integrated generally it is again shovelled into the trucks and carried off to the great rotary. washing machines, wherein the loose ground gfs washed away and the stones automatically

The screenings are afterwards put lato another machine provided with sieves that vibrata horizontally and in this way is effected the separation of the different sized stones; from among the latter, the diamonds aro picked, out by the hand.
