One of the footmen wears a wound stripe and the Military Medal; another the Mons Star. All the men servants in the establishment have war ribbons. It is likely that the custom of permitting men servants to wear war ribbons with their livery will be followed in many private houses. A famous French dressmaker once declared that Queen Alexandra was "the bestâ€"dressed Royalty in Europe, and certainly the one who flung away least money on her clothes."

Latest reports from Allied observers were unanimous that the Ruhr movement never was Bolshevik in character.

Mr. ChurchilH‘s announcement that 8,0090,000 war medals and 6,500,000 Victory medals will be issued foreâ€" shadows a busy time for the Mint and a vast consumption of silver. It may be assumed that the medals will be of silver and not of new coinage alloy. When the seamen of Nelson‘s fleet after Trafalgar were presonted with pewter medals they indignantly threw them overboard. For a hundred years the British Service medal has been of aJver, and has been bestowed on all ranks alike. The Army owes that to the Duke of Wellington who, after Waterioo, wrote home suggesting that such a medal should be issued. Before then Penâ€" ;n;\;lnâ€"r medals had been granted to the higher ranks of officers only and were of gold. ? § Florists are ever seeking to induse flowers to change their natural color and especially to persuade them to look blue when their hab‘t is never to present to us such a tint.
