THE BEES readers may remember
 seeing in the issue of few weeks back an announcement that the world famous Mrs Jarley would in the near future favor us with a visit. We are happy to be able to state that the plea sure is near at hand, probably the last of July. A communica tiOn from the estimable lady of very recent date as- sures us of her delight in soon being able to visit our interesting town. She goes on to say that owing to the ex- treme heat of the countries through which she has been travelling, many of her incomparable figures have been more or less injured, in some cases the wax having melted and caused the fea- lures to dissolve into each other, as it were, but after considerable trouble and expense, the whole of this stupen- dous and magnificent collection of truly life like figures has been carefully renovated and redressed in costumes of unparalleled icostliness and beauty, and all this renewed elegence will be first exhibited in Newtown. Admira- tiOn amounting to awe will be our DOT tion. So let us be ready to give a
 hearty welcome to Mrs Jarley and her unique collection of wax hgures many of world wide reputation, and all things of beauty, which are, as the poet says, "jOys forever"
