Those who grow these two bulbous irises for market should not, as a rule, allow them to remain in one place with out lifting and replanting once in three years at least, and in the case of the so-called English variety two years is quite long enough for it to remain undisturbed on some soils. They should now be lifted, where it is determined to do this, and the sooner they are again replanted the better. Some advise them to be planted during October, but we like to get them into the ground by the first week in September at the latest. These irises flourish best in a light sandy soil, exposed to full sunshine, and with perfect drainage. Where these conditions are not present drainage should be ensured, and then the bulbs should have one inch of river or clear road sand spread under them, five inches of the top soil being removed in sections to enable this to be done.

Then another one inch of sand should be put over the bulbs and the soil be put over all. Whichever way the bulbs are planted, whether in the so il as it is or in sand, the best method is by Marla, 6 Liny. 6 Mr, Mrs and Wilkinson. Mr. Mm.

Dibbling is a poor method, resulting often in the hiatha being planted at an irregular depth. Three bulbs are now so cheap that they should be planted in large quantities for the supplying of cut flowers for local trade. The bulbs when lifted should be graded and planted in three aisles, the smallest or seed bulbs at three inches or less apart. They may also be boxed in deep boxes at the present time for forwarding under glasa later on. The boxes must not be less than six inches in depth for these flowers.

Gold, white, dark and electrio blue go best in the market, and only first-else bulbs should be so boxed. Planted in beds so that lights and cases can be put over them in spring to forward the blooms is also a good method, or the low skeleton house may be planted in the same way and the lights put over in The Fruit-Grower and Florist." DIED IN THE STREET. A CHERITON MAN'S SAD END. On Saturday morning a Chariton Garter, named Alfred Thomas Osborne, who was in the employ of Messrs. Anderson and coal merchants, of Folkestone and Cheriton, died suddenly while on his way from Folkeatone to Chariton with a load of coke.

he had complained of having a coW for some time, he had not been medically attended, so an inquest was conducted by the Borough Coroner (Mr. G. W. Raines) on Monday afternoon, at the Folkestone Town Hall, to inquire into the circumstances surrounding the man's sad death. Ernest Alexander Osborne, brother of the deceased, a bus driver, residing et 105, High Street, Chariton, said the sody i viewed by the jury was that of his brother, who lived at 105, High Street, Cheriton.

He worked for Messrs. Anderson and as a driver of a horse and van. His age was 28, and he was a single man. His general health had been good, but during the last month he had complained of having had a very bad cold. Witness last saw him on Friday night, when he said his cold seemed easier.

Deceased went out before witness got up on Saturday morning. Victor Hopper, a meter inspector, in the employ of the Gas Company, of 15, Canterbury Road, said he knew the deceased very well. On Saturday morning he came into the yard of the Company with his horse and trolley, about a quarter past seven. Having loaded the trolley with coke in sacks containing three he left the yard. Witness spoke to him, but he took no notice of what he said and did not reply to him.

He thought that rather funny. Deceased's appearance did not suggest that he had overstrained himself. When he left the yard Osborne was leading his horse. Ernest Bull, a waggoner's mate, of Hosea Cottages, Newington, said he knew deceased. On Saturday morning, about five-and-twenty past seven, he was coming along the Cheriton Road from Newington, when he met the deceased at the Folkestone end of the Cemetery.

A man shouted to witness Look at that man," indicating the deceased. The trolley was laden with coke, and the horse was walking. The man was lying partly on his back, with his feet against the footboards and his head was hanging over the shaft, about two feet from the ground. The horse was stopped. and he took hold of the deceased, who gave a gasp when he lifted his head up.

He was a little purple in the face and the eyes were partly open Deceased did not speak at all. Witness thought the reins were tied up. Dr. Madden was informed of the occurrence and he came at once, and on his instructions witness took the deceased to the Hospital in his waggon. Dr.

F. B. Madden said on Saturday morning. at 7.45, he arrived at the spot where the deceased was lying on the footpath. Osborne was just alive, and he gasped once.

He heard how he had been found, and witness thought at the time he was asphyxiated by some throat trouble. Witness thought although the man was pulselese that he should go to the Hospital. He had since made a post mortem examination and found that he had valvular disease of the heart. All the air passages of the cheat were The brain was quite normal and did not suggest anything in the way of fit. 'I here was some tea of the stomach, but there was no tarns of any irritant poison.

Valvular disease would be to stop the heart, and would most probably have' done so after a rood deal of exertion. The jury returned 14 verdict in accor-' dance with the medical evidence. COUNTY SCHOOL FOR GIRLS. A daintily got up prospectus has been issued by the governing body of this school, which will be of interest to all parents who have girls of school age whom the, wish to be efficiently educate.d. Miss Ewart, M.A., is the head' mistress.

From the prospectus we take the following Aim of the aim of the school is to afford, at a moderate cost, a thoroughly liberal and comprehensive education for girls between the ages of eight and eighteen. The training given to the pupils is designed to enable them to make a right and intelligent use of their opportunities in whatever kind of work they may afterwards engage, due consideration being paid to the special gift and faculty of each child. It is hoped that the parents will heartily cooperate in all the arrangements made by the school authorities for their children's welfare. fie school was opened on January 23rd 1906 in temporary premises at the Masonic Hall, as a County Secondary School for Girls, but it has now been transferred to Pelham House, Bouverie Road East, a much more suitable building in every respect, which has been carefully adapted to meet all modern requirements. The classrooms are large, well lighted and well ventilated.

A science laboratory, well equipped for instruction in physics, chemistry and other subjects, has recently been added. The playground is spacious, and has an asphalted tennis court. The sports ground is situated in the Cheriton Road. School school year is divided into three terms of about thirteen weeks each. The holidays are about three weeks at Christmas, three weeks in April, and seven weeks in summer.

Admission to form of entry will be found at the end of the prospectus, and application for admission to the school can be made either to the Head Mistress or to the Secretary, at the Technical Institute, Grace Hill. An admission will be conducted by the Head Mistress at the commencement of each term. School Hours and hours of attendance are from 9.10 a.m. to 12.30 noon, and from 2to 4 p.m. An interval of fifteen minutes is allowed in the middle of morning school.

Regularity and punctuality of attendance throughout the school year are essential for the progress of each pupil. Except in cases of illness no girl may absent herself without having previously obtained the consent of the Head Mistress. In every case of unforseen absence an explanation in writing, satisfactory to the Head Mistress, must be sent by the parent or guardian on the first day of absence, and no verbal messages brought by nupils will be regarded as sufficient. It is essential in the interest of every pupil that these regulations regarding attendance should be carefully observed, as the success of class-teaching depends on the facilities given to the teacher for keeping pupils together in their work. fees must be paid in advance by terminal instalments within the first week of each term.

For pupils under twelve years of age. £2 2s. per term; for pupils over twelve years of age. £2 16s. per term.

With an additional charge of per term for the use of books and stationery. No pupil under eight years of age can be admitted. (The charge which is made for the use of books and stationery covers the cost of all necessary text books, note books, exercise paper, drawing paper, pencils, pens and music. Pupils are held rea-1 ponsible for the loss of books and for wilful or careless damage to them.) Prospectuses and information ma be obtained from the Secretary, Mr. James chick, The Technical Schools, and from Head Mistress at the School, Bonverie Road East.

FOLKESTONE SANDOATE, SHORNO LIM AND BYTES ADTERTDDOL PILGRIMAGE TO CANTER- BURY. On Monday a large number of the Homan Catholics who have been at the Conference, on Monday visited Canterbury. One of the pilgrims gives the following account of the Here Canon Stuart, representing the Dean, who is absent, addree the gathering: "I wish to say how heartily we welcome you all, and what great pleasure it pros us to show you round this ancient shrine. We have tried to make those which seem best for your comfort and convenience.

Those of you who are French will please walk on the left, and interpreters will be provided for you." The cordial little speech was received with hearty gratitude, and we soon departed on our various ways to visit the huge fabric of the sacred edifice. I followed the French party, and we were first conducted to that corner of the cloisters near the Archbishop's Palace through which the four knights broke out in their pursuit of Becket. Then we passed on to Prior Chillentien's noble Chapter House, where some of my companions seemed very naturally astonished to learn that the great east window had been presented by the Freemasons of Kent. Close to the door a French inscription upon cardboard announced that on this spot King Henry 11. was scourged for the sin of Becket's murder.

To the actual scene of that dastardly assassination we then walked, and many of the party knelt down and kissed the stones on which the martyr's blood has flowed so long ago. From here we followed the same track taken by his monks upon that fatal night, when they laid their master's shattered body in the crypt. Again, many of my companions knelt down and kissed the stones that may, for all we know, still cover the remains of the saint when they were rescued from the spoliation of the shrine' above. Hitherto we had been walking over ground that may well be ooneidered common to both Catholics and Prater tants. But when we had seen the French Church in the Black Prince's Chantry, when we had moved up to Trinity Chapel, and seen the tomb of the Black Prince, then we were face to face with that blank space of paving-stones which typifies the gap between Reformation and Romaniem, between England and the Pope.

What that gap really means can only be realised if we consider, however briefly, the religious thought of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. It must be remembered that St. Augustine, the original saint of Canterbury, was more closely connected with the abbey outside the walls than with the cathedral, though the cathedral became the more important, just as Visconti's magnificent church in Milan surpassed Saint Ambrigio, just as Rheims Cathedral surpassed the Abbey of Saint Remy. Such changes can only be understood if we realise the enormous and preeminent importance, in those days, of the possession of relics. of the oorporeal elements and particles of religions objects." The cathedral in its early days could point to the tombs of St.

Dunstan, and even of St. Alphege. But the tragedy of December, 1170, rivetted the attention of Christendom upon grave far more receptacle of the bones of Becket which soon became such a centre of European pilgrimage that the fame of Canterbury Cathedral was assured. LONG DISTANCE SWIM. HYTHE TO FOLKESTONE.

On Monday, Mr. G. E. Harding, and Messrs. A.

J. Camburn, Norman Cloke and Percy competed in long distance swim from Hythe to Folkestone. The weather was very unfavourable, the sea being extremely choppy. The swimmers who were accompanied by CouncillorFagg, Mr. W.

C. Stevenson, Mr. Sutton, Mr. Jacobs, Mr. Pink, Mr.

Humble, Mr. Andrews and Mr. Stevenson, junr. started from the beach opposite the Imperial Hotel, at 1.21. A.

Camburn entered the boat after going about half-a-mile, Percy gave up when opposite the Sea View Hotel, but Harding and Cloke finished the distance to the Victoria Pier, the latter at 2.52 p.m. and Harding at 2.54 p.m. The course 1 occupied 92 minutes, which reflects con- 1 siderable credit on the successful swimmers. Cloke swam strongly all through and bids fair to develop into a powerful swimmer. He is a member of the Folkestone Swimming Club and is quite young fellow.

The swimmers covered about five miles. The temperature of the water was 57 and the air 60. Mr. Harding is an old hand at long distance swimming. Some years ago he swam from Sandgate to Dover, and lastyear accomplished the feat of swimming from Folkestone to Dover.

£5,000 FOR LIBRARY. MR. CARNEGIE'S OFFER. ANOTBER WANTED. Some months ago the Folkestone Free Library Committee decided to appeal to Mr.

Andrew Carnegie for a grant of money to enable the Public Library to be extended. We are now in a position to state that Mr. Carnegie has offered to present £5,000 for the purpose, subject to certain conditions, the chief being that the necessary site on which the extension will be made shall be paid for from other sources than the Library Rate. This means really that about will have to be raised by subscription in order to obtain the £5,000. BROOME PARK FOR SALE.

Mrs. A. Dry. of 16, Prospect Terrace, York, For many years I was martyr to indigestion, flatulence, and kidney troubles. I could not eat or slam, and on account of the great pain hardly knew what it was to have night's rest.

I lost my strength, and got sothoroughly run down that I could not do i and bad to have someone to me. After taking Dr. Cassell's Tablets I gradually gained in strength and health until now I am a different woman. I can enjoy my food, it agrees with me, the pains are all Dr. Cassell's Tablets can be got at any chemist's for 10114., and and are a perfect remedy for nerve, and lndney troubles.

ST. JON AMBULANCE (CILERITON SECTION After a good deal of time and trouble had been speat on it, the proposed illsminted Al Fresco Conoert in Ashley Park last Wednesday evening had to be i ahendoned, owing to the advent of bad weather at the last moment. Under the 'superintendence of Sergi. Moore, and by the united labours of several members of the section the available ground had been tastefully bordered by fairy lamps and a substantial stage had been erected. The mating aooommodation had also been well provided for and the large number of disappointed ticket holders who had already arrived, sugared well for the BUCCOM of the venture, had the weather been more favourable.

The stage arrangements had been left in the hands of Pte. Stockholm, who wishes to sincerely thank those ladies and gentlemen who had so kindly offered their services. The members of the section also wish to thank the following for their share in the Oddfellows' Club, Church Club and Mr. Smiles, for chairs, flooring and trestles; Mr. Pilcher and Mr.

Church, for timber; Messrs. Hart and floodgate, for drapery, Mr. Miller, for the piano Mr. Piddock, for the dressing room, nd also the Committee of the Leicesters hire Regiment Football Team, for the ground.) THE PRINTING OF THE BIBLE. J.

P. C. continues his most interesting pictures of the world of books in the October number of the "Pall Mall Magasine" this month dealing with the Clarendon Press. The production "par excellence" by which the Oxford Press must stand or fall is, be says, its printing of the Bible, and when at has sent any display of its work to the great exhibitions, the Bible has been foremost in the number and variety of specimens. It Manes seventy-one editions, ranw.ng from the tiny edition in the type to resnlendent pulpit folio like an altar-slab.

America takes over six tons of these different Bibles every week, and the total issued in the year mount up to millions. And yet the variety of editions is nothing to the variety of the four hundred languages and dialects in which the sacred text is printed. For the parable of the mustard-seed baa been fulfilled in more ways than one, and out of those four crumbling codices which are' the most precious bequest that Christianity derives from the past, have grown a Babel of type and orbit of paper that to every man in the tongue where-, lin he was Gurumuffibi, Tamil, and high-piping Pehlevi" to the still more uncouthjargon which assails the missionary on the wave-lapped fringes of Polynesia. Think of the difficulties of typing alone. A hundred characters are sufficient for our common you may call the Vulgate of typography some of these exotic tongues either run into a different character for every word, or else require each letter to be built up oat of ten or a dosen pieces.

Running the length of a long room at Oxford, sky-lit, whitewashed, and beset with a forest of "cases," are a hundred oompositors who have each a smattering of a down languages, and touch-andgo acquaintance with a hundred more; but for the most part reek not their own but set blindly, hoping for the beet. As for the various result it baffles description, for it ranges from a hieroglyphic that looks like the patterns spun on an old-fashioned "sampler," or the Runic lettering that resembles a row of Palmer Cox's "Brownies," to the formidable Sclavonian, that is like nothing so much as a cyclist's set of spanners lying among the fragments of a broken monkey-wrench." SITTING ON DAMP GRASS. PILES FOR FOURTEEN YEARSGREAT ZAM-BUK CURE! For fourteen years I was in agony from bleeding piles," explained Mr. Thomas Carr, of 29. Ellesmere Street, Runcorn, to "Runcorn Examiner" reporter.

I am blacksmith's striker, and work from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. I contracted the piles in my fishing days, when I used to it on damp grass banks. Often in the midst of my work I would be struck down by the violent pains, which came so often that I got very weak. 'latii; morning I felt like a lump of lend.

Going to work was a misery, and I often got home ab.olutely exhausted through the discharge from the piles, and had to go straight to bed. I have been obliged to stay in bed for as long a month at a time. I got really frightened sometimes, the bleeding was so bad. The terrible pain and the bleeding kept me awake at sights, end when I got up in the morning I was thoroughly exhausted. I tried all sorts of ointments and was under medical traetment, but I got no', better, and I thought I was never going to get rid of the "Then I read how Zam-Buk had cured, man who had had piles bad for seven-' teen years.

I got a box of Zam-Buk, and after a few applications found myself getting. better. I persevered with this rich balm, which stopped the bleeding of tho piles, and banished the terrible pain and irritation. "I continued to use Zam-Buk until all trace of the piles had gone. Now I return home from work without that feeling of exhaustion.

Being strong and well and free from pain after fourteen years of makes me naturally grateful to my that wonderful Zam- Buk ANTI-BURGLAR PATENTS. In the files of the Patent Office library are to be found many inventions for the frustration of the housebreaker. Very few of them, it is to be feared, are put to a practical and commercial test, and to the lay mind they are too technical to be readily understood. But they are none the less interesting. Among the patents of the character which have been recorded from time to time is a talking machine," by which an alarm message is telephonically transmitted to central station, from which the information could be distributed by ordinary methods to a specific destination.

The record provides for a plurality of messages, and each message may be repeated predetermined number of times, until the "call" is answered. Another relates to an alarm which releases trigger. which in turn fires a cartridge and completes an electricbell circuit to alarm located, as the inventor naively says. at some suitably distant place." A third is so affixed that the opening of door after it is "set" actuates the winding-up lever of a "phonograph" mounted upon the door-frame. A fourth provides a network of cord or wire stretched over windows so that any pressure upon the same will cause an electric circuit to alarm bells.

Yet another invention shows how an undesirable intruder would catch his feet in certain threads laid across the floor so as to operate a whistle" in connection with a compressed-air cylinder.

SATURDAY, Beautiful weather favoured these races on Saturday, and it is doubtful if there ever was a better attendance on the course. The Railway Company, as usual, provided an admirable service of trains, and a ride through the delightful Kentish hop gardens and pastures was an additional pleasure.

The course afforded capital going, and good fields turning oui for all the events the sport was interesting, though backers had none the best of the speculation. Nancy Lee was always a sound favourite for the Westenhanger Selling Handicap from the Keniptom victor, Lucky Jap, Barker, and Threlkeld. None of those mentioned supplied the winner, Enthusiastic Lad, who disappointed at Derby, beat the favourite by length. At the subsequent auction Enthusiastic Lad went to the Lewes trainer, Escott, at 186 guineas. Of the thirteen starters for the Stanford Selling Plate Dumbarton Castle, who was considered unlucky to be beaten by Heckler's Girl at York, was booked a good thing, with Out o' Sight and Farce 11.

befriended. Backers were again all abroad, as in a good finish the gelding by Perigord out of Wise Maiden just got home from the 20 to 1 chances in Toni Smith and Miss Nick. Again Esoott took a fancy to the winner, and be went to 210 guineas before the gelding was knocked down to him. This led up. to the chief event, the Folkestone Handicap, and the half-score competitors included Fort Myers, who won at Redcar the last time out.

He opened favourite, but the lightly weighted Greator had as many followers in the end, with money for Charles Edward, Gal's Gossip, and nearly all the others. It produced a splendid race, and after Alaric, Love Charm, King's Tax, Scarlet Runner, and Fort Myers had all flattered Gals' Gossip, well ridden by Trigg, won by half a length. Greater, Aisne, Love Charm, and Scarlet Runner all finished abreast, and it was hard to say which was second, the judge's decision being a short head in favour of Greator, with Mario and Love Charm dead-heating for third place, and Scarlet Runner was only another short head away fifth. In the absence of Dik Dik the Moderate Plate looked a good thing for Briolet, who had previously won over the course. She gave F.

Wooten a very comfortable ride, and scored easily a length and a half from Sailor Bill. Bobrinski, who was beaten by Quality Street and Crow Question at Gatwiciwas basked from 7 to 2 to 6 to 2 for the 'Dover Handicap, with Muffin Boy, Freeborn, and Galoneer receiving plenty of Weetion. Muffin Boy was unruly at the gate, broke through the webbing and never appeared like winning, while Freeborn broke a blood-vessel. Then in a close finish Bobrinski could not overtake Marton Mere and Galoneer, the last-named making all the running. Finally, Ampelos cleverly landed the Cliff Plate from the well-backed colt by Carbine out of Honey Bird.

CURIOUS GUIDE POSTS. The September Windsor ILagaaine" contains a very interesting article on Holiday making on Old Moods" accompanied by many illustrations. The writer says Coaching roads show stages in the evolution of the King's highway. Here and there is a relic in the form of a mounting-block, of the clit: when ladies rode a-pilllon, and when he state of the roads was such that nearly everybody was obliged to travel on horseback. Chamberlayne, writing in 1649, There is of late such an admirable commodiousness, both for men and women, to travel from London to the principal towns of the country that the like had not been known in the world, and that is by stage-coaches, wherein any one may be transported to any plaice sheltered from foul weather and foul ways, free from endangering one's health and one's body by hard-jogging or over-violent emotions on horseback, and this not only at the low price of about one shilling for every five miles, but such velocity and; speed in one hour as the foreign pos can make in one day." The average velovity and speed' was five miles per hour.

Ten years after Chamberlayne wrote, however, Thomas Wright, of Warden, set lip a mounting-block on the Banbury- Daventry road, and there it has reniained ever since. Dated 1659, it is still in good condition. There remain, too, a few, and only a few, of the early travellers' guides, most of which are on roads now deserted. A unique handingpost on Broaway Hill po ints the way 'To Gloster." To Wast and other places, as it has pointed it for more than two centuries.

A remarkably severe storm visited Canterbury on Friday afternoon, and threw many people into a state bordering oe panic. Heavy black clouds plunged th city into almost total darkness at abort four o'clock, and a tremendous fall of rain and hail followed, which, in the course of half an hour, flooded the streets until they ran like rivers.

Houses in the low-lying parts were invaded by the water, and in some shops the goods goods floated while traffic on the main road to Ashford comp stopped. The deluge was ammo deafening thunder and of lightning. No less than three fires were reported from outlying districts, where houses were struck, and great damage was done to the hopfields, the crop being literally cut to pieces. A woman's sad: frage meeting which had been arranged hod to be postponed. What has been described as the most mysterious form of atmospheric electricity, the so-called fireball," or globular lightning, was witnessed at Hayward's Heath, in Sussex.

At about 1.30 p.m. huge ball of fire, our correspondent talegraphs, passed over the town. It eppeered to revolve several times in Gs air and then burst, emitting cohered flames and noised like pistol shots. This is the usual character of these photomeas. The fire-ball," says Professor Tait, "is always spherical, often more than a foot in diameter, and appears to fall by its own gravity from a thundercloud.

It usually bursts witt a flash and a loud explosion, discharging flashes of lightning." Soma. times serious damage is done by them electric fireballs. In this instance two houses were struck and woman was slight burnt on the lip. AS OTHERS SEE US. A NORTH KENT APPRECIATION Or FOLKESTONE.

The Lee Journal a few days ago had nice little article on Folkestone. It many people Folkestone is chiefly associated with the landing or embarkation at the South Eastern Railway Pier, stepping from or into the wait' ing train, and so whirled either to Charing Cross or Paris and the Riviera; Folkestone of the Harbour, with its big 1 turbine mail boats, its massive asst I modern pier, 1,600 ft. long, and its rattling cranes that swing motor-cars in the air like toys. But though here is presented a daily interesting spectacle for the visitor, there is another and quite a separate Folkestone of the Folkestone. Up on that glorious stretch verdant and fir-clad cliff one may look down over Folkestone of the Harbour, as busy as a hive, and yet not hear a sound to clash with the strains from the orchestral band which is reputed to be 'the finest on the South Coast this season.

If the intending visitor books to the Central Station, where all the best trains stop, he will find himself at once set 'down in the heart of the best part of the town, and amidst charming surround; lugs. Stretching away to the Less is Castle Hill Avenue, a noble road, gaits Parisian in its width and wealth of foliage. The visitor to Folkestone is fascinated by a first walk on the Leas. It is doubtful that so gay a scene as the Less presents sente during the season anywhere, and the marine view from so commanding a height is very fine, stretching right away from the Dungeness lighthouse westward to the Shakespeare cliff at Dover. Then there is Old Folkestone of the 'days of the stage-coach and the smuggler, lying away at the back of the Harbour, and many picturesque bits" here await the artist of the dry-plate or sketchbook.

To enjoy a holiday to the full at Folkestone is an easy matter. fleabathing here has undergone a revolution at the hands of an up-to-date and wise Corporation. In place of the old "machines," which have for so long been an eyesore on our coast, besides offering wretched accommodation, enclosed courts" are provided, replete with every comfort (including fresh water shower bath) flanked on all sides with roomy dressing compartments, which by an ingenious arrangement can be thrown Even to sun and air when bathig is over. Then after the morning dip the departure of tho Boulogne boat is always an interesting spectacle. FABOINATION or TIM FIRST ENPIIII It is curious to note how difficult oar contourieres find it to get away from the Empire suggestion in dress.

Just as he, Napoleon Bonaparte, is the greatest Sere history has ever blown, so is the Emprre period the most fascinating in the world of fashion, and from one decade to another a close stucy of the modes will reveal a hint of the First Empire. A hundred years ago extravagance was rife among the ladies of the Court of Nam, and in the present day the hundre -one trifles necessary to the woman of fashion all add to the expenditure for personal adornment and give rise to the very general verdict of extravagance used against the woman who scathes and follows Dame Fashion in all her capricious The Throne and Country."
