 LONDON, Oct. 1S.-Veils, of some
 what more moderate dimensions than
 those grandmother used to wear, are
 being brought back into fashion by the
 Queen and Princess Mary. Even the
 Hampers are taking them up. finding
 them useful to keep in place the rough
 edges of the coiffure that always annoys
 those who have decided to give. up the
 shingle and let it grow out again.
 The queen, as all rotogravure readers
 know, almost always wears toque, or
 at any rate a hat of small dimensions.
 Over these she now frequently fixes a veil. tautly drawn. /
 Since her departure from the palace
 and it's close regal supervision of the
 hsbiliments of it's occupants, Princess Mary has enjoyed the freedom of wear
 seems always to be larger than those
 ing any kind of hat she prefers and these worn by the queen. Similarly the veils
 that Mary now has taken to are usually
 worn more loosely than her mothers, and
 often match the color of the hat. To enable the average girl or woman
 to wear veils, and thus keep up with
 the palace born fashions, hat brims, which for some time have been of
 cloche design, now are taking an up- ward turn. The shops for the most part are show ing black or flesh colored veils, but for those of debutante or sub-deb age there
 is variety of. vivid shades of blue. . red violet and even two colored veils with a decorated border to fit around the hat.
 | Late Hours Permitted l Londoners, having become accustomed , during the British empire exhibition to staying up half of the night, as so many city dwellers of the continent and
 America do, are to be permitted by their
 county council to remain the habit in , definitely. The council has decided 2. to permit hotels, cabarets and night clubs to remain open five nights a week untl a. m. Before the exhibition at Wembley came into being the good folk of Lon [ dontown were not supposed to stay up
 very late, at least not more than one f night each week. There were, indeed, ? plenty of laws intended to. persuade s them to go to bed early, but when the l tourists came rolling into London last l spring from the seven seas, eager for
 fun and lots of it, there seemed every prospect that if these pleasure seeking l persons were not provided with ample P amusement at nearly all hours in Lon l don they would strike out with their = good money for Paris. So the midnight 2 champagne was lifted.
 , Soon the Londoner who used to go across the channel whenever he decided ? to take a fling at night-life discovered l that it was just as good fun stylng in
 his home town.
 In consequence few objected when it was proposed the other day to extend
 indefinitely the longer hours. ] Fishing Is Fine The fishing is mighty fine up in the ! North Sea just now, in fact 1t hasn't
 been so good since before the war, the
 good old days when there were no mines
 floating around and every now and then exploding with consequent destruction among the finny tribes.
 For some reason the North Sea teens
 with herring this year and the wallets
 of the fisherfolk are taking on happy ? and unexpected bluge. Even old salts
 who hardly ever bothered to take out
 boat in the hard luck years of the recent
 past are unwinding their nets this au-
 tumn and putting eait to sea.
 Hauls of extraordinary size have be-
 come quite the usual thing. One day
 recently at Lowestoft the haul consisted
 of 15,000 crans or about 15,OOO,OOOO herring. That meant as much as 300 pounds to some of the fishermen, enough to keep a large family happy through , the winter.
 In September the value of the catches 5 brought into Lowestoft totaled 112,000 } pound, or nearly triple the haul of Sep 9 tember, 1923. Other herring ports are
 expecting similar prosperity and it will not be winter of discomfort in Yar- l mouth, Grimsby and the neighboring t towns, even if the rest of the country l does suffer from unemployment. I Campaigners Use Radio : Timid voters of the ultimate consumer l class who have often gone to political
 meetings in the open air, but have sell . dom heard anything because they lacked a the nerve to push their way in from the , fringe of the crowd are getting their f ears full in this general election cam , Faign.
 IT Many of the candidates for parlia- I mentary seats lug simplifying apparatus ? around with them to magnify the sound of their voices. Premier Macdonald, : who started a tour from his Scottish home to his Welsh constituency this : week in his motor car, carried one of : these devices along with him. U Former Premier Lloyd George was the first British politician to accept the e possibilities of the amplifiers. He was r introduced to them on his American s tour last year and was quick to adopt them for home use upon his return, but n Premier Macdonald was the first to use d the radio for broadcasting his political s dissertations.
 n One night last week while radio lis n teners around London were tuned in on s q soprano the lady was cut off in the e very midst of her warbling and the bass r voice of the prime minister, speaking in - Glasgow replaced her.
 It has been suggested that the party
 leaders should be allowed to broadcast
 on alternate nights, but some people } complain that the radio programs are dull enough as they are without per
 hitting the campaign to be carried on IS through the ether.
