Bratiano, referreing to Manoileseu, declared the Government was doing its utmost to resist the attempts to overthrow order, which is legally established. Deputy Mnniu protested against Manoilescu’s imprisonment and trial I>v a. military court instead of a civ'l. A discussion on Prince Carol’s attitude might be inopportune at present, i lit the people bad a right to express mi opinion thereon.

LATEST FASHION CRAZE. LONDON, Oct. 27. An extraordinary revelation of the extreme nature of present-day west-end beauty culture was made in the “Evening Standard’’ by a prominent beauty expert, who admits that scores of society women are at present undergoing face tattoo whereby their cheeks are permanently bloomed at a. cost of fifteen guineas. Lips are permanently reddened for ten pounds. It is the off shot of the permanent hair wave. Sho explains that the tattoo marks do not show. The cheeks will be blooming even when withered, while the system, it is stated, is not injurious. One great advantage is that the system abolishes for all time the lipstick and powder. Ladies do not not seem to mind the fact that the process is tedious and painful. Each cheek and ]ip is punctured a few hundred times. One girl refused the second cheek owing to the pain, but if I know a beauty mad woman, she will return.
