the principle of the Zones made. bv impartial business men and hnaneiers. not implicated in the Irish Land con- troversy or Land administration, be- fore accepting it as the basis for the advance of the greater part of the $500, ,oo0soeo sttll to be advanced for the purchase of Irish land.
 To sum up--the Bill proposes to finance the existing agreements on terms considerably better than those proposed by Mir. Walter Long in 1905. which the Irish members were then dee nouneed for opposing by the admirers of the WyndhAm Act. It makes gem erous parovision for the ConRested Districts. and gives wide compulsory powers to both the congests Districts and the Estates Commissioners---for gompulsion Is not confined in tha Bill. as has been stated, to connaught 1t relieves the Irish ratepayers of their heavy liabilities for Discount. re- moves the sso,0o0.0D0 limit on the Bonus. and redlstributes the latter on c principle that will at least, not en- courage extortion, though the scale may need revision.
 It restores the rights of the tenanta turned into future tenants by the Act of 1887. As to the future. 1t provides for the payment of the landlords In. Stock, and proposes to finance agree rnents on . higher annuity rate, which, if the tenants are only strong enough to insist upon getting the same reduc- ton, will not, as has been represented, add to theid payments. but lesson them. by reducing though to a small extent. the redemption period. Thus 1t gets rid of all dificulty about dis count and delays in the notstion of Stock.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-12-20

Another valuable provision of the Bill is that which restores the rights of tenants destroyed by the Eviction Made Easy section of the Act of 1887. The Clause, however. would bear exc tension so as to include other classes or Torture tenants."
 With regard to the Zones, the a. mendment proposed may be regarded as some Improvement. The Land Com mission are given power to exclude from the operation of the Zones any holding when they are satisfied that cidcumstances exist which in their opinion, necessitate inquiry as to the security for the advance or the equity of the price. The mmissioners are given power to draw up rules provid- ing for the furnishing of particulars with respect to rent and arrears ard of such information with regard to the estate as may appear necessary. Furthermore, In determining whether an agreed price is equitable, they are to have regard to the respective inte- rests of the landlord and the tenant in the holding and in the improve mefits thereon. and "the price shall not be deemed to be equitable If 1t appears to the Land Commission that any substantial part thereof represents the value of Improvements made by the tenant or his predecessors in title for which he or they have not been con- pensated.
 To Repeal Prevision.
 The strange provision, which nuili- fled all the provisions of the Act of 1908. and which was introduced in the House of Lords. is to be repealed. and the repeal Is one Of the most valu- able proposals of the Bill. But Mir. Birrell should have an examination of

 Although fIet. net and tuile are prime favorites for the transparent yokes and sleeves worn on nearly every frock, there is a growing ten-s dency to substitute gold and silver lace. This Is a pretty fashion in it. self. but often is not becoming. It should be soft, with folds of julie against the neck. Filet net or lace is used as a foundation, and the threads of silver or gold are worked out scantiiy in some kind of small de- sign.
 The girl who is tried of turnover linen collar and who does not care to wear the high lingerie stock for every day use, will be Kald to know that the old fashion of tying . ribbon around the neck has been revived Wide messaline satin ribbon is used. boned at the sides, with a ruching top and bottom. This is placed around the neck, the ends crossed at the back and tied in a short, stif bow. Trext ribbons are easily adjusted and are becoming to most women.
 At small evening affairs where slightly low gowns are worn. the pretty fashion has been introduced of wearing a band of eolored velvet rib- bon around the neck. It Is tied in . small. flat bow directly under the chin. It is copied from the old Boucher pictures and was adopted by the wo- man of that time It ls prettier when worn with a gown that is not very low and 1t goes we'll with a slightly square neck. It must be tied at the very top of the neck. if put at the base it destroys the lines from eartip to shoulder.
 There Is e growing tendency on the part of young women to dress their hair quite simply and the single Peyche colffure is becoming extremely popular. 1t ts really more of single pun than anything else and it is quite adroitly made.

in the words of the Act of 1908. ''by reason of lack of food are unable to take full advantage of the education provided for them" There seems to be no doubt that the coalition of things is worse than 1t was last year. owing, of course, to the fact that un- employment is this year more general. A considerable proportion of the hungry children are proved to be those whose parents are out of work. The burden of the task of feeding the children falls upon the children's care committees of the London County Council.
 The form which the proposed monu- ment to John Bunyan In Westrnininter Abbey Is to take has now been de. Anitely decided. Tn reply to the re- quest drawn up by pr. Clifford. as president of the Baptist World AIii- ance. and signed by leading men in all departments of national life. the Dean consented. to place such memorial in the Abbey and suggested that it should take the form of a stained glass win- dow depicting scenes from the 'Pil- grin'n Progress" He offered for the purpose the window In the north side of the Abbey. containing head light and two main openings. each about twenty feet high and six feet in width. This suggestion was accepted, and at the. last meeting Of the committee de- signs for the window were submit ted by Mir. J. N. Comper, the artist appointed by the Dean. The scenes selected for the main openings are:--- Christians meeting with Evangelist; his admittance at the Wicket GateI his delfyerance from the burdon of sin at the foot of the Cross; Mir. Inter preters' house: Piety, Puddence, and Charity hArnessing him in armor of proof; his flight with Apollyon; Vanity Fair. and crossing the river to the Celestial City. The headlight will de- pict Christiap's entrance into the City and his joyous reception there Round the centre panels win run series of vlgnettes representing minor scenes in alieKory. The estimated cost of the memorial 4s $6.e00 and to raise this . committee has been formed, representa- tive of the Anglican and Free Churches, and of various phases of the national life Of this committee the Archbishop of Canterbury is president. and pr. Clifford chairman.

FASHIONS AND PADS

While every imaginable delicate hue Is now employed for ball costumes. none of them are garish. despite the unprecedented vogue of gold and silver trimminks. The craze Tor tinsels has resulted fin the production of some charming weaves In the ultrafashion- able amethyst. orchid and opal shades. Among these is q silk gauge overlaid with gold and silver frosting which makes up into the most fascinating of dancing froelxs. These tinsei weaves are worn alike by matrons, girls of several years experience and blushing debutantes and are also used as a foundation for the lightest of nets. for tulles and for chiffons which look positively like clouds spread over rain- bows and--last about as long.
 White Is no longer first favorite as q ball gown color. although it Is still considerabley worn by girls In their first season. More fashionable are the dancing frocks showing some slight color relief in the form of deiicately coiored lace or tinseled medailions and motifs or band and hand embr oideries. These are employed to outline the corsage. as neck and sleeve bands and, to limited extent, for decorating the skirt.
 Painted chlffons and lowered messa- lines are the most practical of all dancing frock materials. It is true. they cost c trifie more. but they re- Quire no more trimming.

Dublin. Dec. I9--The land Bill re- gently introduced In the House of Commons by Mir. Birrell, Chief Secre- tary for Ireland, fulhls in every res- spect the exectations aroused by MT. Blrrelrs exposition of its proposals. There is one point which MT. NO'shee maintains Is not quite clear. with re- spect to the bonus payable to land lords who, two years ago. handed over all their property to the Estates Com missioners, but whose sales have not been financed. However, as 1t was undoubtedly MT. Bireli's intention to make the bonus secure in such eases, If the Bill fails to do SO, there will De no difficulty raised on any side to amending 1t.
 The important question now is as to the arrangements for the second reading of the Bill. There is now an evident determination to wind up the Session before Christmas and ss there are several Bills to be dealt with, the time at the disposal of the Govern ment Is. necesarily, short. However. it is fully expected that the Land Bill will be given second reading before the prorogation. The Ulster Tories are urging that no harm can be done by dropping the Bill at the first reading this Session and re-introducing 1t next Session. But 1t would place the pros poets of the Bill in a vastly better lght if 1t could be taken up next SeS- sion at the Committee stage. Next Session will be short, the Government have many pledges to fulfil, and in Parliamentary matter, above all oth CTS, the sacrifice of an opportunity Is most frequently fatal. 1t is a matter of cardinal importance to get the second reading of the Land Bill before Christmas, so that it's details can be dealt with and disposed of early in the coming Session.
 Mir. Birxelps Speech.
 It was not altogether clear from Mir. BirrelI's speech whether the Bonus was still to be kept down to the wyndham limit of s60,000.000 and the balance merely redistributed on the new scale. Subsection of Clause 5 settles that point. It runs, 'So much of section forty-seven of the Act of 1903 as limits the total of the sums payable to the Land Purchase Aid Fund to 60,00o,000 shall cease to have effect" Then, Clause fully carries out the pledge of Mir. Asquith that the loeses on Land Stock should not be permitted to fall upon the Irish rate payers. It runs, 'The charge on the Guarantee Fund for any deficiency In respect of the issue of Stock at dis count shall extend only to the amount of the Development Grant which forms part of the cash portion of that fund; and the deficiency, so far as it is not made good out of that amount, shall be made good out of moneys provided by Parliament That Clause, if it passes, will put an end to the anxiety of the Irish local authorities.
 Further measure of small relief is given to them in respect of Stamp

 of 1906. The Schedule for the distri-
 button of the Bonus is an important
 part of the Bill The principle Of
 graduation urged by the Irish Party
 has been accepted. but 1t will need
 little more elaboration, by way Of
 distinguishing between first term and
 second term rents. Nineteen years
 purchase of first term rent receives
 10 per cent bonus, though 1t is the
 equivalent of nearly 2i years" pur-
 chase of second term rents, which
 would receive only 1 per cent Bonus.
 But the general principle Is thorough ly sound. and will help the poor ten-
 ant and reward the equitable land
 lord.
 The Congested Districts Clauses are
 as Mr. Birrell announced, and really
 represent tho first adequate attempt
 to make an impression on the problem of the west. The powers to be given to the congested Districts Board are somewhat stronger than Twas fere- shadowed by the speech. Thus. the Board is given the right to intervene, if they think fit, in every case where negotiations for sale and purchase have been entered into and failed, make up an offer to the landlord, and, if the offer Is not accepted within a specified time. a acquisition to the
 Land Confusion to have the lands ac-
 quired compulsorily. Moreover, 1t Is provided by Clause fl, that no con-
 gested estate in q consested district
 county shall be sold after the, passing of the Act, to persons other than the Congestad Districts Board without the consent of that Board. This is carry ing out to the letter Mir. Wyndhanl's principle that lands ought not be sold under the Land Purchase Act unless they were of a quality and size tR en- able an industrious man to live out of them.
 A Congested Estate.
 The definition of e Congested Estate | is extended by raising the valuation l of the Congested Holding to $50. Ever the Estates Commissioners are to bt
 jexcluded from the CongeSted Dis tricts Counties and they may not ac- quire land therein after the passing of the Act, without the consent of the consested Districts Board The new Constitution of the Board Is an improvement on the old, save in ons point--the elevation of the ex-ofncic
 and permanent element to a sort oi
 hierarchy. This distrust of the repre-
 sentative. indirectly elected and ap.
 pointed element is new feature oi these measures. and ls somewhat strange coming from Liberal Legtsla- tors. It was this distrust that viti. ated the Council Bill in It's inception and led to it's reflection. Certainly the representative and appointed members
 should be allowed a larger repre-
 aentatton on the administration Com
 mittee of the Board. The defect. how. ever must not blind Irlshmen to ths
 enlarged scope given to the operations of the Board by the Bill. and really substantial increase of its resources
