1t was decided in England in 1921 that
the public have no common law right of
bathing in the sea. One Interpreter of
this ruling has expressed the belief that
the meaning is that the public have no
right of walking or driving on the beach
to get there; if once they can get into
, the sea it seems they are within the law"
Another Daniel come to judgment asserts
that bathing in the sea is not only law
full but proper and often necessary for
many of the inhabitants of this country"
Henry Atven, a wealthy business man

the Presbyterian Church of that town,
charging ii with having, on April II, 1898,

The Rev. p. j. O'Bren, a Roman Cath
Ollie priest of St. Johns. Newfoundland
has invented new form of huh for boats
which he thinks will win the Americas
cup next time if the Shamrock fails to
do it this month. The principal feature
of the new design is the concavity. in
transverse section, of the boats bottom
so that sides and bottom meet in q sharp
angie at the bi.ge. one boat already butt
on this principle has shown great speed.
and il is claimed the design will Increase
the speed Of any boat. whether propelled
by wind or steam.
The French have added another to their
large list of beautiful monuments. This
time it is to Francois Chabas. the eminent
Egypt ologist who. when he began 10 pub
lsh his works, was wine merchant at
Chalon-sur-Saone IT is here in pictur-
esque corner of the new public garden,
that the bust of Chabas has been erected
on an obelis1 appropria tely decorated with
| hteroglyphics and crouching sphinx. Just

Everybody has seen photographs of the
Queen wearing her simple mushroom"
hat which, though il may not he fashion
| able, serves the purpose of shading the
| eyes and neck perhaps better than any
! other hat. According 10 the Millinery Rec
! ord, it. is 10 the Queen that we owe the
| popufarization of hats for town and car
| rage wear. Al one time ladies never
! dreamed of wearing hats for wishing or
/ driving other than in The country, and ii
was considered quite out of place TO wear
! them in Londcn, bonnets being as much de
| rigueur as tall shiny hats have always
| been considered in town for gentlemen.
| Soon after the Queens marriage she he
| gan to wear hats chosen for comfort which
| dropped over the eyes and came down well
! at the back, as a shade TO the neck from
| the suns rays. When the court mi2liner
| designed a particularly comfortable shape
of this kind the Queen was 50 pleased with
| it that she sent one as a present to the
/ Empress of the French, and made similar
/ gifts to a number Of favored friends at
home and abroad. But though The shape
of the Queens favorite hat is the same
now as it was in the ffties and sixties, the
court millner is permitted to vary the
trimming.
-Goodwood has come and gone, says the
! London Daily Chronicle. and as a social
event has had this year one distinguishing
| characteristic. The difficulty of the tall
| hat may be said TO be at last settled. A
| few years ago the question had not even
! arisen. Park costume was de rigueur. The
J Prince was the first to lead the revolt. He
! came down one year as a country gentle
| man to visit a county race meeting There
| were tail hats ana frock coats, and some
! thing of the male costume of Frith's Der
| by Day on the lawns, under the elms and
! in the paddock and the grandstand He
! was the exception. Next year the despot-
| ism was less general rue came TO be
| formulated and followed which was after
| all, but a compromise. 1t was this: Coun-
| try costume on the three days of the Good
| wood week, grand tenue on the Thursday
! and the reason given was that the Prin-
! cess always came to Goodwood on the cup
| day. The last week has seen this irritat-
| ing exception swept away. On Thursday
| the Prince wore a gray bowler hat, with
| black band. the Duke of Cambridge a low
brown pot hat. the Duke of York low
! black one, Prince Soltykoff white straw
! Homburg, the Duke of Richmond tall
| black silk, the Earl of Mar an ordinary
straw poater The varieties are given in
order 10 show that the liberation is COM
