DUKE OF MONTROSE..
MEMORIES OF FIFTY YEARS.
The Duke of Montrose was entertained recently at dinner at the Glasgow Con- servative Club on the attainment of his ducal jubilee. Mr. MeMurdu, chairman of the chib, presided over a large and representative company, and presented his Grace with a gold cigar-box.
The Duke made an interestingly, "ro miaiscent reply. He said he had been a member of their club for forty-five years Ble could remember eleven different Prime Ministers, and with several of these he was on intimate terms, including Mr. Disraeli, the Earl of Ballour, and the Earl of Rosebery. He also recollected" righteen Chancellors of the Exchequer, The advent of some pl these, such as Su William Harcourt and Mr. Lloyd George, he looked upon with some suspicion, and with justifiable anxiety, (Laughter.) He had a vivid recollection of his introdue- tion to Disraeli at a political banquet a few months after he (the Duke) succeed- ed to the title. He then thought Mr. Disraeli was a delightful man, and so sympathetic to the rising generation of his supporters. He hoped that he had made favourable impression upon the then Prime Minister, but that was dis pelled shortly after when joining a train. at Puddington for Windsor, whither, he was proceeding to hand over his inte father's insignin. Cigar in hand, he walked into a compartment occupied by Mr. Disracki. "I suppose you don't object to smoking." he remarked, and Mr. Disraeli replied. "No young man; I don't object to smoking, but if I go into the presence of my Sovereign reek ing of tobaero it may mean the fall of the Government. That," added the Duke, amid laughter, was my first lesson.
His Grace referred to the pleasure be also obtained on the Turf, and, conclud ing: said: We are running very fast in these democratic times, and the big estates and ancestral eastles which were
feature in my younger days must grad- ually disappear in virtue of the death datiea. I have always understood the common law to mean that a man eonid Jong do what he likes with his own
as he does not interfere with his neigh hours. My experience tells me that land lords rights are being curtailed every day. I wonder whether the rising gene ration realise the transition that is tak ing place as regards their future? I am no pessimist, but I cannot help think ing that I have tired during the best of the most prosperous time of this old country of ours."
COLLAR "CENTENARY. DEVICE OF BLACKSMITH'S WIFE
TO LESSEN WORK.:
A good deal of interest has been aroused in linen and kindred circles by the news of the centenary of the collar.
would The origin of this. "centenary appear to be in the United States, where, 100 years ago, a blacksmith's wife-her name was Lord-is stated to have con- ceived the idea of making collara separate: from shirts, for the benefit of her hus band.
The professional grime of Mr. Lord's apparel kept her so much at the wash- tub that she devised this expedient to lessen her work."
However, a London paper says, that at the risk of severing our excellent rela tibos with the United States. it bis to be said that the collar centenary seeds more of a rebound than anything else, which has ricochetted from 1750 er so to our own day.
For collars first appeared about 100 years before this date and were starched (though with yellow starch) like ours. Some bad face round their eilges; others| were plain, and, though longer, not at all unlike the Eton collar of 1925. They were expensive, however, rising even to £3, chiefly because of the lace on them.
In contemporary literature there is" trace of their being considered at one time a preculiarly British custom. They wore called bands, and the name has

A DEAN'S £3,000 A YEAR. BISHOP WELLDON ON HOW HE SPENDS IT.
Bishop Welldon, Dean of Durham, and Mr. I. A, Westwater, a railway signal man, publicly debated at Durban recently the question of "The Selbst Demands of Railwaymen."
The debate was a sequel to a sermon in Durhaan Cathedral in which the dean charged the railwaymen with selfishness in seeking to enjoy an advantage over other classes of labour in a wage demand which would cost the country £30,000,000 The Durham branch of the year. National Union of Railwaymen retorted that it ill became the dean, with a salary of £3,000 a year, to criticise the railway.
