It was previously maintained by Sgt. Rothwell that Gibaun overtook a car too near the road · Junction and took the corner at a speed faster than was usual.

The case was brought following a collision with a Chinese pedestrian at the junction of the two Ronds, und which caused Gibson and a Indy pillion passenger to be thrown off the motor-cycle.

On Saturday, Mr. A. E. E. Jeffries, who was called by the defence, said he had been 80 yards away. He did not pay particular attention to the cycle until he noticed it wobbling: at the same time a dark form fell to the ground to the right of the cycle,

Gibson was also summoned for failing to notify the Police of his change of address. He stated that he obtained his Heence through the Volunteers and had reported the change of address to that quarter. Gibson was cautioned on this sum- mons and fined $25 on the other.

Notes For The Needlewoman

WHEN tablecloths are badly worn,

applique some motifs of luce on. the right alio and carefully cut away the worn part behind. A ba- lanced design should, of course, be aimed at, each insertion being placed so that a ring, square or triangle iz formed. The lace effect is charming and much more pleasing to the eye than a dorn,

Choose closely woven patterns of #knitted shawl or coat for the young baby. Small Angers become easily entangled in wide stitches.

Material for binding must be cut on the true blas, Fold the cloth so that the wrap or lengthways threads are parallel to the weft or crossways threads, and cut along this fold.

with When embroidering

wool leave the stitches very slacht to allow for shrinkage in washing; again, use n silk thread for the seams in n wool- len garment. The elasticity of the silk will prevent. It snapping like a cotton thread when the seams are pressed open..

A plain linen tea or luncheon set gains distinction with simple flower applique, the blossoms or sprays be- ing cut from oddments of chintz, cre- tonne, or brocade.

In one charming set of cream linen seen recently, a circle of shaded cre- tonne roses had been appliqued to the centre of the teacloth, while on each corner of. the mall napkins nestled n rosebud and leaf, ench flower being of a faintly different shade,

M. L. B.

ALL kinds of feminine detail are used to em- phasise the youthfulness and gaiety of our new frocks, which, with their simple bodices and swing skirts, are more pretty and becoming than they have been for several seasons.

I like so much the frocks with skirt, and bodice in a contrasting shade, and a bolero to match the skirt. These frocks and boleros make ensembles which are not only practical but pretty, because they don't look too dressed up for ordinary dates nor yet too dull for gala ones.

Don't you like the red tie which finishes off the demure collar? Both frock and bolero have short sleeves. Note the way the waistbelt finishes in a bow in front.

Bold Plaid Design

AY and practical, too, is the frock' with the plaid design, which is available in many good colour mix- tures. Note the original patch poc kets on the bodice and the clover treatment of the plaid. This is the type of frock which will do duty all through the summer, not only for holidays and short week-ends but for ordinary work-a-day occasions.
