The bowlers who took part in fast iiIs ii. ist
tournament game had very bad streak
and the consequence was that the contest
on the Brunswick alleys between the Stock
yards and the Belleyues was one of the
poorest games CT the tournament. The
Stockyards were the victors by the low to-
tai of 2,23O to 2,122 for the Believes, the
bowlers of the latter team, with the excep-
tion OF Makepeace and Laidlaw, who
bowIed fair games, being badly off in their
work.
The character of the game will be better
understood from the statement that not q
single one of the ten bowlers came within
twenty pins Of the coveted 500 mark, House
holder, of the Stockyards who finished
high, scoring but 479. Householder must
be given credit for making a great finish
after getting Il very bad start with seven
open frames. West, of the Stockyards,
bowled fair game, running next to House
holder on the team with 4G2. Pottery got
off very badly, but n good finish managed
to bring his score up TO 444, while Baldwin,
after a good start, fell down at the finish
and ended with ABB Westfall was COM
pletely off in his work and was low man
for the team with 412.
Makepeace was the leader for the Belle
vues, with 464, and Laidlaw was close TO
him with 455. Davis was next with 429 and
then came Becker, new man on the team,
with 3SS, and Captain Porteus brought up
the rear with the surprisingly low score,
for him. OF 376.
The Bellevues took the lead at the start
and up to the twentieth frame looked like
sure winners, but after that they went to
pieces, while the Stockyards braced up and
pulled the game out in good style. Sum-
mary.

The cnr was crowded when tho two
women entered, and several men woro
nlrendy standing up. However, that
did not seem to worry the women.
They were well dressed and pretty,
aud combination of that sort will
secure n seat almost any time.
But on this sparticulnr occasion every
man IN the car appeared to be either
tired or preoccupied. At any ratio
none of them moved or BETRAYED tho
slightest inclination "to do the polite
thing"
The two women stood by tho door
first, smiling in that calm, confident
way that women do when they feel
that things arc bound to como their
way. They smiled upon every man
in their immediate vicinity in turn,
but there was no nppreciabc effect.
Not man moved, in fnct. not man
even looked up to get either OF the
smiles.
One of the women moved down to
the centre of tho car. The smile was
gone now, and IL cold, hard, naughty
look had settled down on her face.
"Como down here" she said to tho
other. "Ihe floor is little softer"
The little bald-headed man in tho
far corner WAS seen to smile behind
his paper, but that was the only sign
that the shot had hit anywhere.

had first spoken, determined not 10 be
bailled, cit is proper that men should

Her companion looked surprised.

and proper. Why, you must have

Loudon's population continues to
increase rapidly, but recent census
figures reveal n change in tho charac-
ter of this growth which has both sur
prised and puzzled the English statis-
ticians. Up to times comparatively
recent the city's increase was chiefly
at the expense of the country districts
and of other lands, the number of
births within the metropolitan limits,
when not less than tho number of
deaths, being not nearly enough in
excess of it to account for the annual
increment. Thus, in the period of
lS71-S0, the increase in population
was more than 100, 900 in excess of
the births over the deaths. In the
years 1SS1-90, however, the balance
was the other way, the addition to
the population oeing nearly lis. 900
less than the natural increase. In tho
period of 1915 the excess of births
over deaths was $50. 900, but tho ac-
iual increase in the population was
slightly less than 100000 From
these figures, it appears that either
London-born children are the victims
OF an excessive death rate, or else
that the opportunities to be found in
the great capital are no longer attrac-
tive enough to satisfy its native in
habitants, large numbers of whom,
therefore, have been led to seek their
fortunes elsewhere. The problem is a
rather obscure one, and the new social
current has not yet been flowing long
enough to make easy determination
OF its direction, extent, and cause.

WOMAN OUTLINES MAN.

OF the fourteen reputed centena-
rians who died during the past year,
no fewer than eleven were women,
says the Illustrated London News.
Out of the lSS persons who were de-
clared as over ninety years of age at
death, 10S were women. The superior
longevity of the female sex is WELL
established fact. To some extent it
depends, of course, on their more shell
tered method of living, but by no
means exclusively, as the women of
the laboring classes show great vital
tenacity as we'll as those who have an
easy time of it in the world. The
vital power of girls is displayed in
babyhood, for though about l04 boys
are born to every 100 girls, the females
have more than overtaken the def
cheney before the end of the first
year. In other words, the belief of
old nurses that "boys are harder to
rear than girls" is true one.
For the first time, another point in
vital statistics as between the sexes
has recently been investigated. This
is the relative periods of sickness in
life. 1t is only lately that there have
been any female friendly societies, and
hence the statistics as to the days Of

FASHION NOTES.

The hHndsomest of the br1cadod
moire silks for trains is made more
elaborate, with an embossed velvet
flower or two among its satin ones.
The Princess dress is very popular
in Paris, and many handsome gowns
of velvet and silk for wedding, and
other dressy occasions are cut IN this
style.
The latest fancy for trimming silk
pettlcoats is two or three acc0rlion-
plated ruffles fully aqnarter os yard
wide. These are pinked on the edge,
and sometimes caught up in festoons
fastened by bows of ribbon.
Narrow quillings of chiffon are a
feature of dress this season, filing q
large space in the shops, and are em-
ployed in hundred different ways,
one of which is as a border for .ashes
of velvet or silk worn with evening
dress.
The autograph teacloth is ono OF the
fads among English women. 1t is of
plain white linen with broad hcm-
stitched hem. Numerous friends
write their names diagonally above
the hem, and each one is embroidered
in white or colored cotton.
The new ribbons are very delicate
in texture like siken gauze, aud the
variety in grass linen effects has null
tipled many times since last season.
There are Scotch plaids, light tinted
grounds plaided of with some strong
color and scattered over with polka
dots or sprays of flowers and plain
colors, with fancy edges of hair line
stripes, in various colors, and checked
borders which are very effective. Taf-
feta seems to have the lead among the
plain ribbons, and some of them are
satin faced. Moire ribbons with
corded edges are also seen.
