But even at that there is plenty of news. Imagine the Coronation Stone being stolen! Nothing in the British Isles is more steeped in historical tradition than that .arae stone. And British people don't like any disrespect shown to their traditions. After all England wouldn't be England without its traditions. It is said the Coronation Stone was need by Jacob for a pillow. The same night that he used it Jam': had a vision in which God made a con venant with him. Then Jacoo made an altar of the Stone to worship God. Twenty-one years later he took the Stone with hint down to Egypt and when he died conunitted it to Joseph's keeping. The Stone remained in the custody of the Israelites during their won- deriugs until the time of Jeremiah, About 580 B.C. Jeremiah gave itis consent to the marriage of his grand -daughter Tea Tepid to the King of Ireland providing the King would give up idols and establish "schools of the prophets" in the North of Ireland, This was done, the two were married, and the Stone of Israel placed in the Royal Pal- ace ant' the two crotched upon it. When the King of Ireland captured Scotland he set up his kingdom there and the Stone of Destiny was also taken there. Later it was trans- ferred to London where it Itas re- mained for over 600 years. This Stone has two iron links at either end of it, almost worn through because, according to tradition, it was carried by the children of Israel through the wilderness, and on its Fong journee• to the British Isles. In conaltoration of this tradition it is said that on an island not far front Ulster there is a cemetery where the tomb of Jeremiah can be cern, ,also that of Zedelciah's daugh- ter, 'die Princess '.i'ea Tephi. \tarry think this is proof positive that the ten tribes of Israel actually reached the British Isles.

They began lite day by having their hair oiled up in diadems as high as towers, If the hair was titin they used artificial tresses dyed blonde with goat's fat and beech ash, or perhaps blacic hair 1111 - ported from India, Arms and brows were painted with chalk and white lead, cheeks and lips with ochre or wine lees, eyebrows and round the eyes with powdered antimony, Then they were loaded with jewels, trin- kets, bracelets, earrings and pen- dants. Nothing like it was seen again until the eighteenth century in France, when Madame Pompadour set what one critic called "the stupid habit of rouging." ladies laid on the rouge so thick that it was hard to tell ane from another. "They not only obliterated their faces," says the critic, "but quenched every feeling of desire in nett, whose one wish was to flee from then." French stonlen have always specialized in the arts of feminine seduction, and they have never been afraid to go to extremes. In the last century, famous cocottes in Paris dyed their hair bright red, rouged their cheeks and attached Ion gartificial lashes to their eyelids. Midway between theta anti the ladies of society was a strange class of super -vamp known as the demi-castors, who dressed like princesses, changed their lovers as often as they changed their clothes, and helped the young dandies squan- der their fortunes, It 'teas the co- cottes and the demi-castors who made Paris the world's fashion centre. They dressed at Worth's, drove in elegant carriages and, ex- cept in private, behaved with the hauteur of duchesses. The more then they ruined, the more they were in demand! They were past mistresses in the Beauty Stakes: but, in England, powder, rouge, lipstick and eye- brow pencil were until quite re- cently used only by courtesans. It was considered unbecoming for a respectable woman to touch-up her face except in a very unobtrusive may, and the feminine fashions in Edwardian days reached the low- est depths of ugliness. It was not until 1912 that the fashion for make-up found hs way here from America. By the end of the first World War it had spread through every class. Today, beauty and chic are so within erery girl's reach that we're inclined to forget that for thou- sands of years they were only for the very rich. Suddenly everything which the grand lady wore could be had by the millions --at least, in incitation. The factories began 10 pour taut cheap substitutes for fur, sill:, leather, velvet, nrecioue stones. livery girl became beauty conscious, tord vast industries sprang up in rosntetes, beauty pre• nitrations and hair dressing. Feminine glatnottr began to than. thtclured on a east scale, inspired by the stage and films, autl helped by the illustrated journals. Soon it was seized upon by industry to help the sale of everything from toothpaste to holiday trips. In America, eyrelns tools the place of recruiting sergeants; and .'tiny Semple utplc 3f.cci h<rsmt eve!' used choirs of ".Angels" to dray people to religious meetings, If our grand- fathers could see what is happening' now they would be astounded. What of the future? if we are heading towards a Welfare State, isn't it likely that our rulers will eventually bring feminine beauty under State Control? Perhaps- we shall live to see some select com- mittee of enperts work out the de- tails of an Optimum \Vomit or Approved Female. Admirably de• reluped for bearing children and fulfilling her duties as Grade A in the Whitehall beauty tests, she will look down on us from the hoardings a trifle coldly. Women will be ex- horted to imitate her; and men will be urged to seek a mate 'who is willing to model herself on these approved lines. But perhaps before that happens, the Devil trill have asked Allah for a new trap to catch human game! "Howard went to call on a sick friend and was told at tlfel door: "He is already departed."
