howled. But give me the British hospital every time. I 
have tried both. A nurse in a British hospital is nevei 
famihar with an orderly, but in an Australian hospital they 
are all on the same level. It does not work well from the 
sick man's point of view. At lea.st that is my experience." 
It was interesting as evidenre how the merits of disciphne 
are rightly appreciated by the best type of AustraUan. 
The egg and poultry demonstration train which the Great 
ESstern Kailway has been running through tlie Eastern 
counties, has been extraordinarily successful, over 45.000 
persons have passed the demonstration car. The railway 
does not intend to let the matter rest, and it is now in com- 
munication with the Board of Agriculture for the best way 
to provide cottagers with the rig^Jt strain of stock birds. 
Mr. Jack's picture of Victoria Station, crowded with men 
returning to the front, was one of the features of this vear's 
Koyal .Academy. O.xo Limited acquired the right to reproduce 
it. The photogravures an- admirable reproductions ; they 
are exchangeable for Oxo coupons. 
Mr. Robert Evett has to withdraw The Happy Day at 
Daly's on Saturday evening, owing to the strain being too 
severe on the artistes who are rehearsing for the new play. 
The Maid of the Mountains. Also for Yonvg England the stage 
of Daly s is required on the 23rd. The Happy Day has 
been one of the big theatrical successes of the year ; it is a 
success thoroughly well deserved. 
Poor Madras for about the sixth time, has lost its harbour ; 
the Etiiden spared it, but not the cyclone. November 
is the month for cyclones on the Coromandel Coast. 
There has been a wonderful lot of nonsense talked about 
restaurant menus, mainly because they are written in flowery 
French. I was amused to read in the Daily Express the average 
menu of a munition worker converted into dishes which ' 
identically the same food would have produced in a restaurant 
kitchen. It sounded most imposing. Where restaura- 
teurs, especially those of the highest type, will be glad, is that

the Board of Trade rules sho ild eliminate competition in 
expensive comestibles. It will not be necessary to stock 
delicacies because people may get them elsewhere. Certam 
night-clubs have been gross offenders in this respect. 
But as e\'ery patron of Jules restaurant knoAS, you can 
have the best of cooking without luxuries. There is not a more 
favourite restaurant in the West End, and the menus are 
alvvays simple. People do not go to restaurants of this 
class for luxury but for comfort. Hermfs 
The Queen visited Messrs. Tredegars. at 7, Brook Street, in the after- 
noon of Friday, Nov 17th, accompanied by Princess Mary, to inspect 
examples of I.ady Kinloch's Painted Furniture, in wliich industry the 
Queen has taken the greatest personal interest. Her Majesty has com- 
manded a Suite of Furniture for Windsor. 
Druce of Baker Street once more are ready with many practical 
Christmas presents. Small size furniture is a great feature here, and 
people with flats in which every inch of room is limited, are specially 
glad of it. Pelightful little " Nest Tables " with any amount of room, 
owing to the trays stowed away one beneath the other, arc an attract 
tion. So are .some capital little writing bureaus. 
Nothing presents a greater problem to the feminine mind than the 
choosing of a man's Christmas present. To everybody in doubt on 
the subject words of sound advice can be given- buy a ( illette Safetv 
Razor. This kind makes shaving the easiest thing in the world, and 
nobody once trying it will adopt anv other kind. To men in tin- 
trenches a tiillette Safety Razor is the greatest boon. Everything 
is compact and workmanlike, and it is no trouble to stow it away . 
The ideal type for a soldier is the small pocket edition in a silver- 
plated case. It is just like a cigarette case and costs a guinea. 
While the end of the war is not yet in sight (lovernment departments 
are wisely looking ahead and endeavouring to forecast future poli-iofe 
So are the leaders of the great industries. .Motor manufactrrer-i 
are not one whit behind others, and amongst tliose who have 
completed provisional plans it is natural to find the Austin 
Motor Co., whose chiefs appreciate the factors that will operate " six 
months after." Primarily, it is the Company's intention to deal with 
output. They will concentrate their energies on a one model chassis 
of 20 h. p., with a touring or laundaulet body completed " ready for the 
road. " The final design has not yet been approved, but Austin quality 
and excellence of finish will be maintained, and cars will be produced 
at less than pre-war prices. When ready, the new Austin will be in 
geat demand, each intending buyer seekirig immediate deliverv- To 
facilitate possession advantage should be taken of the waiting list 
kept by at Longbridge Works, Northfield, Birmingham.
