more then a plain or machine embroider-
ed linen collar, but there are some very
effective things of the kind that do call
for extravagant investment.
The striped linen collars in white and
color with embroidered scalloped edges
and embroidered dots of the color, ac-
companied by little bows of the same lin-
en embroidered to match the -collar are
a case in point and are particularlelhigh
in price. Some of these striped collars
are elaborated by the introduction of lit-
tle motifs in real Irish lace, but on bhe
whole the collar end tie of this type is
emarter in the simeler form.
Irish lace plays a considerable part in
many of the more expensive collers and
bows of rebate, and there is a decided
liking far collars whose turnover part is

the narrow embroidered lingerie ties is

American women, however, have
shown a ineferenee for collars openingin

Regarding the vista from a general

SUFFRAGETTE TABLEAUX
Living pietures of the work of women

Were given as an argument for votes for
women at an entegtainment in Mel-
bourne, writes a coreesponclent. The
large audience, including malb sUpport-
ers, varied the evening's programme with
suffrage songs. Victorian women are
not enfranchised for the State elections,
although they have a vote for the Fed-
eral elections.
Miss Vida Goldstin, the principal
speaker, explained that the suffrage tab-
leaux display was the first entertain-
ment of its kind ever given in the world.
It was the idea of •Viet•orian women be-
cause they were tired of making ordin-
ary speeches and wanted to see if living
pietuees would not be a more effective
argument. It was a new form of "pes-
tering the public," as Sir Henry Camp-
bell -Bannerman would say.
The first tableau showed the work of
women in an age before machinery, when
v eaving, lace making, delivering milk
and so forth were all in the Maids of
women. These occupations lied now
been taken away from women, and that,
said the speaker, was one of the reasons
why they had to go into the eworld to
earn their QM} living,. Mother' tableau
showed,. first, the interior of a court of
justice, with a woman in the dock,. tried
by men judges and jurors and counsel;
and then the same interior with a man
in the dock tried by women judges and
jurors and counsel. The injustice of the
rreconcl picture appealed. to •all, but to
the converted in the meeting its reverse
was as unjust.
Another tableau showed the number
of women earning their own living in
Vietoria. industrially, professionally and
dontesticAlly. Nearly one-third of the
women of Victoria, are doilig so, 145,000 ,
in all.

THE ART OF GARGLING.
Not the Same Thing as the Process

The proper method of gargling in thus de-
scribed by a writer In the Medical Record:
,"The patient (at first under the guidance
of the physician) should sit well back In a
chair, take a swallow of water in the mouth
and bend the head as far back as possible.
"Now he mist protrude the tongue from
the mouth (the tip of the tonglie may. be
grasped with a handkerthief) and In this
Dosturo with protruding tongue he must try
to swallow the water. The physician snould
control the patient's vain efforts—for it IS
impossible to swallow under sucb eirculit-
stances.
"The patleat has the sensation ss if lie
actually had swallowed the water Now he
must start to gargle, to exhale air slowly.
One can see plainly the bubbling of the fluid
in the wide open pharnyx.
"After gargling thus for a 'while the
patient is ordered to close the month and
quickly throw the head and body forward.
Thereby all the fluid is totted through the
'choance and nostrils , washing the throat
and nose front behind and expelling all the
acoumulations that had been present, with
great force.. •

during the past seveii days a total of
250 inen and women obtained night
lodgings , and breakfast. These lodgers
were divided according to nationalities
as follows: L•ish, 157; French, 40; Eng-
lish, 23; and other nationalities, 30.
Few people realize the welcome shel-
ter which is afforded behind police cell
bars to many wanderers. There are
stations in the city which frequently
never have a prisoner during a night,
but them is seldom a night that each.
!dation provided with cells does not.have
protectionists. The list of these is sent
deWn to police headquarters every morn-
ing, and showe that an average of 115
men are taken care- of in the police sta-
tions each night,
This gives . pelice officers extra work,
for the mime of every man coming in
for .protection has to be ervtered on a
special. list to be seet to police head-
quartere, and a, separate entry has to
be made in each 'station's report book.
Then men tO be accommodated have also
to be searched to mike sure that they
have ho weapone Omit them wieli which
they might either commit suicide dur-
ing the night or make use of during,a
quarrel with other Marmites of then
cells. If the men receiving protection
have money they are not allowed to
keep it in their possession over night,
for fellow prisoners in the same cell
might rifle their pockets while asleep.
Each man's money is therefore Counted
in his presence by the police officer be-
fore the man is sent to his eell. The
money ie then put in an envelope by
the officer and leid aside until the next
moreing.when it is again counted before
the man and returned to him prior, to
his being discharged.

. The Laxuries of Travel.
• Since the eariler part of the Vic-
torian ago the comfort and luxuries
• a railway travelling have advanced
• by leaps and bounds. At .that time
I Mild class carriages were simply cat-
tle trucks, uncovered, and judging
, from contemporary prints, in some
cases without seats; a journey from
London to Aberdeen in a snowstorm
in one of those "carriarges" could
therefore scarcely be characterized
as a voyage de luze. But although
England was a pioneer of railways,
.the Continent was the nitietor of
luxury in travel. While we were con-
tent to rush out of the train at a
station when there was a ten minutes'
stop, and after struggling through a
surging crowd thronging the bar, ob-
taining a basin qf soup, perhaps so
hot that it was impossible to take it
before the bell rang, a rush back be-
ing then made to the train with
perhaps but- a chunk of dry bread'
for luncheon, the foreignet was lunch -
or dining in the train, with an up-
right round basket before him in
the roomy carriage, the top forming
the table, while beneath, in compart-
ments one above the other, was an
excellent•hot !heal of several eourses,
a bottle of wine in a see,ket at the
side, together with all other neces-
sary reduialtes. Now, however, we
have happily recovered lost ground,
and our restaurant cars are quite
equal, or even superior to those of
the Continent,
And a meal in one of those cars is
a most luxurious break in a long
journey. For the interest of the pan-
orama of the varied and attractive.
. beauties of the scenery past which
the train is speeding gives an added
zest and pleasure, and creates, a sense
of buoyant gratification and enjoy-
ment: Now, ,for instance the line
skirts a broad estuary of the sea. The
tide is half down, and on a line oi
sandbanks innumerable sea -birds are
gambolling and disporting them-
selves.. • Here a flock of •the pretty
sea -swallows wheeling and curvetting
as by word of cbminand; here a
heron, solemn and stately, standing
in the shallow water en the lookout
for an unwary fish; or here a sedate
conclave of puffinsa or sea parrots,
each aPparently admiring the many
colored radiande of Sits amighbor's
handsome beak. And then the open
sea is reached, the line running along
by the shore, a succession of lovely,
land -locked bays protected by jut-
ting promontories of deep red sand-
stone; or bridging a romantic :aerobe
through whieh a foaming rivulet
dances down the steep acclivity until
lost in the sand of the shore.
In such a journey, then, an addi-
tional sense is gratfied; and perhaps
a rush of alleluias courses throtigh
the mind that the' beneficent, Creator
has givn us the faculty so richl3r to
enjoy all His gifts to us. And the
greatest of all His gifts, the gift of
His Son, to undergo in our stead the
penalties incurred by us, has, te all
who avail themselves of that propitia-
tion, conferred an eternity of lutppi-
nese and of supernal glory.

Mrs. I3illtops says," said Mr. B.,

yet I haven't been so dreadfully un-
comfortable, in fact I find sitting

"And, Mrs. 13illtops smiles and says
she guesses Ian not so dreadfully.

I feel generally she says, 'Why that's
just a cold, Ezra; you've got a hard

some more and goes on about her
work—she never lets up on that—
ana I sit back and make myself as
near comfortable as I can, think-
ing that, well perhaps that's all that
is the matter with me, liut wishing
that whatever it is I might soon get
over it,
"But the worst thing about it all
is that I've still got some appetite.
You wouldn't think that anybody
feeling the way I've been feeling the
last four days could eat a thing, but
I have eaten fairly well, and Mrs. B.
smilee over that a little too and says
that anybody that can eat can't be
elo very sick, but she doesn't say that
to make fun of me—far from it—she
says that to encourage me and make
me get well quicker.

itself somehow even if I did try to
choke it off; and when I got into the
house and Mrs. Billtops had taken
a look at me:

am verey rarely ailing at all; almost
