At its meeting last week, the Board of Agriculture had before it reports regarding the outbreak of foot and mouth disease in Great Britain. While the information furnished by the High 'Commissioner through the Department of Agriculture indicated that during the past few months tho number of outbreaks of foot and mouth disease had not been very large, a most disturbing feature was the widespread nature Of the infection, the disease having been reported from Northamptonshire, Middlesex, Shropshire, Lanarkshire, 'Kent, Buckinghamshire Derbyshire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, and Staffordshire. In the circumstances the Bbard decided that it could not advise any relaxation whatever of existing precautionary regulations.

Beautiful and most becoming shades are the feature of the new autumn dress g<*ds of which Hugo l and Shearer's have such an appealing selection. Mulberry, burgundy, claret, various tones of mauve, fawn and turf green seem likely to be the most favoured of the fashionable shades for outdoor wear. It would not be surprising to find a strong demand for the very becoming shade of blue worn by tho Duchess of York on Saturday. Repps, faced cloth and velours are the leading coat cloths while for costumes, now returning strongly to* favour, flannels in checks with plain in matching shade offer wide scope for novel and wonderfully smart effects at very modest outlay. Special displays of the new fabrics will be made at Hugo and Shearer’s this week.*
