Police Court Story,

The following, Pett Ridge story appears in Johno London's Weekly: A man once entered
London police court, und the Magistrate, recognising him as a fellow clubman, genially invited him to take a seat on the bench. The visitor was delighted at the honour done him, and as he sat down by the side of the Magistrate he looked wonderingly round the crowded court. "I see you remarkably tough lot

A New "First Lady.”
Meanwhile, it looks as if Madame Venizelos will become the first lady in the land" in Greece, says Westminster Gazette writer. She has only been the wife of the ex-Prime Minister since September 1921, when, as Miss Helena Schilizzi, a rich member of the Greek com munity in London, she was married to M. Venizelos from the High- gate residence of Sir Arthur and Lady Crosfield.
וג
During the two years that have intervened since then, M. and Madarge Venizelos have travelled in North and South America, paid several visits to Lausanne, and set up housekeeping in a fat in the Rue Beaujeu, in the Etolie quarter of
Paris.
Even if M. Venizelos becomes President of a new Greek Republic, it is highly probable that they will keep the Parls flat as a European pied-d-lerre, a refuge to fly to should politics again become over whelmingly dangerous in Greece. “These Morbid Matters.”
