In an article on the subject a U.8, writer tells of one place un the Strand that is particularly blessed in the matter of pretty bar- maids, There are three at this es- tablishment, and they have sufi- clent beauty and charm to be known as the three Graces, They keep their minds on their work, ne says, and on the obbligato of brisk: quips and laughter that renders the performance "a feast of wit as of the senses," But, he says, it will have to be THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, JURE 27, 1929. | ALICE EARLE 18, Cobourg, who was wounded in the side by » bullet alleged to have been fired a revolver in the hands of Dr, George Field, MOH. of Cobourg, Miss Earle was passing the medical officer's house when she was hit, so it was testified, FRACTURES LEG Toronto, June 21,~~8truck down by an automobile on St, Clair ave, near Walmer Road last night, fours year-old Robert Beard, 9 Bhorn- clitfe avenue, was removed to Hos pital for Bick Children where it was found he has sustained a fractured leg and head and face abrasions, His condition was reported not serious, The boy stepped off the side walk and a westbound automobile, driven by C, 8, O'Higgins, Glen ¢airn avenue, struck him with the front fender, The driver jammed on the brakes and the car swerveu ground and hit the boy on the lvg, Detective Hutchinson of No, 11 division, investigated but did not hold the driver, DRIVING Toronto, June 21,-~Sergeant Hill of Court street division, 8r- rested Joseph D, Bernardi of 624 Spruce street, Sault Ste, Marle, on & charge of reckless driving after Bernardi's car haa crashed into another a King and Church streets, Passen- gers in Bernardi's car ons dri- ven by 8.

Here, for example, is a village which, 30 years ago, had 1,000 inhabitants and one free church, The minister of that church was a father in God to the whole countryside, He was pass- ing rich on £00 a year, and devo ed his life to his cause. Today the village is reduced to 600 inhabit- ants and it has threes competing churches, They are all too poor to support a resident minister, and every one admits that the las¢ state of that place is worse than the first, utomoblle at | CANADIAN NATIONAL BAIL Change in , Witective June The Inter-City Limited Best- bund leavin a; Lo Py. for ot. wa AD y excep!

BH, GUNDY General Manager: D. E. KILGOUR leading Red Wings, The scores were § to 6 and 6 to B, St -- confessed, after a brief but r ably extensive observation, that not all the barmalds in the King dom bear out the promise of the three Graces, Most of them ure not picked for youth and pulchri- tude, but because they belong, di- rectly or indirectly, to the famny of the proprietor, And it Is a trade that once taken up, keeps its followers, The middle-aged matron is not an uncommon: fixture behind the polished mahogany, often as sisted by a daughter or a niece, who is more than likely as plain and as "shy" as the typical "help" in a country lunchroom, This is quite as true of London as of the counties, An Attraction Overlooked The writer was surprised to find that the element of beauty and {its effect on business is neglected, It would seem obvious that the pret. tier and more engaging the servi- tor, the greater the number of ous- tomers, In a land that has learn: ed to drink without self-conscious. ness and to accept the ministra- tions of the harmaid in an equally felicitious spirit there can be noth- ing shocking in the association of good liquor with good looks, And certainly the experiences of the emporium on the Strand to whieu allusion has been made demons- trates the success of the formula, This place is only two years old, and though {it rubs elbows with "pubs" that date from the spacious days of good Queen Bess, its pros. perity puts theirs to shame, It is significant that it should be only two years old, Ancient institutions are prone to cling to conservative traditions, and before the Industrial era and the multipli- cation of spenders {it may have been better business to work your family into your "pub" than to go afleld for your barmalds with an eye to capitalizing their attrac. tions, But a newcomer in ecompe- tition finds it easier and, in fact, necessary to strike out on a beld revolutionary course, Room For More London today would seem to be wide open for this kind, The won. der is that someone there has not yet opened a bar served by beau- ties from a last year's stage sue- cess, He could afford te pay them very handsomely for their trouble, one would assume, But the writer contends it would {| not do to make a clean sweep of all the "pubs" in England, ere is an ancient hostelry in Chester, for instance whose bar is presided over by a sweet, impersonal little maid; she should stay, She was a nurse in the war, and for brav- ery under fire won the D.8.0, the J only surviving girl to be thus hon- ored in the kingdom, And then there is an old hotel in Lichfield, another cathedral town, that should also escape the invasion, To enter the barroom there is to enter a drawing-room. An impeccable little hostess jumps up from a seat by the fire to greet you with a smile and a "goed eve. ning" and to enquire in an Oxford accent what it 1s your thirst sug- gests, You do not go to the bar: she does, but not behind it. A house servant passes her the order and she brings it to you seated be. fore the fire or at a table, as you please. WHAT NEXT?
