The Post Office had decided that, except in spécial circum- stances, casual reliefs outalde the authorised meal period were not to be allowed for the purpose of light refreshments.

Casual reliefs enabling the girls to have a cup of tea had hitherto been a matter of course. After three or four hours work at a busy board a cup of tea, said the girls, "worked wonders."

BACHELOR JUDGE'S

DICTA

If a man breaks a promise of marriage can he demand the ring back from the girl?

Answers to these, and many other equally provocative quen- tions, are given in the judgments of Mr. Justice McCardie, collected and edited by Mr. Albert Crew, harrister, in "The Judicial Wis dom of Mr. Justice McCardle" (Ivor Nicholson and Watson.- Ltd.: 78. Gd.) just published.

Here are some of Mr. Justice McCardio's epigrams and dicta: On Women's Dress: The dreas of woman has ever been the mystery, and sometimes the calamity, of the ages.

women

In matters of dress often remain children to the end. 1 am willing to recognise the tonic properties of an occasional new costume.

Too many women are slaves tu fashion and too many men are the alaves of women.

On Husbands:

A husband is not to be exposed to run by the extravagance of n wifo.

The position of married women In status and property has im- proved: the husband's burden has not been altered.

Apparently the law still is that very poor husband is legally bound to feed and dress a very rich wife.

Mr. Juatico McCardie's advice to husbands is to give their wives a fixed dress allowance in propor- tion to their salary and to see that it is not exceeded-but then, Mr. Justice McCardio in a-bache- lor I
