In 1924 it was estimated that litigation in the case had cost more than £40,000. Lord Ampthill stated in court in 1923 that the expense meant practically ruin to me.'

Mr. Stuart Bevan, E. C., for Geoffrey, said that after the boy's birth, on October 15th, 1921, there were divorce "proceedings.
By order of the court he was directed The King wore a dark grey suit, with to cite in the proceedings Lord Ampthill, a black silk hat, and a white carnation the paternal grandfather, Mr. John in his buttonhole. The Queen was in Hugo Russell, the father, and others who, white chiffon and lace, with touches of he (Mr. Bevan) thought, were brothers silver embroidery, and her white hat bad of the father.

Since the birth of the child the father had contributed nothing to support either his wife or child. His lordship would probably be acquainted from the report in the House of Lords 1994 appeal case the husband in those divorce proceed with the allegations that were set up by
In spite of an overcast sky the com- pany that moved incessantly over the vivid greed lawns was full of colour. Most of the women's hats were large-a few of them very large indeed and full brimmed. The most noticeable feature of the men's conventional dress was the which was scez perhaps only on one of comparative rarity of the grey top-hat, every hundred heads." Comparatively few of the men wore gloves, a fact that was commented upon by social observers as a sign of the times. The large number of guests from the Dominions and the many Americans were among the features that made it different from the old gardenings were brought. parties.
THE LABOUR M.P.8.
I have heard the comment that some of the Labour M.P.'s were invited to the Royal garden party and some were not. The suggestion behind this was that the invitations were issued to the mild mannered men and the others were ignored. But that is not how things are done. The matter was arranged in ac cordance with the established rule. The Labour Whips were asked to nacertain what Labour Members of Parliament would like to be invited. They made in quiries among their members, presented a list accordingly, and the members on that list were duty, fnvited. A Royal invitation is a command, and it is proper that those who wish to decline should be required to decline before the invita
tion is sent.

Mrs. Russell, in evidence, said she was the daughter of the late Colonel John Hart and of Mr. Blanche Anstruther Hart. She was married to Mr. John Ingo Russell at St. Jude's Church, Ken- sington, on October 18th, 1018. Her hus band was the eldest son and heir of Lord Ampthill. Her husband had not contri- bated to the support of the child.

Mr. Rentcui said he had no questions to ask. Ms. Russell. The plea of the Attorney-General was merely a formal one, to put the plaintiff to the proof of her clain.

Not more than seven and not fewer than five Commissioners will be appoint- ed by the Crown, writes Lt-Comdr. the Hon. J. M. Kenworthy, R.N., H. P., in the Evening Standard. They will be looked upon na whole-time officials on an adequate remuncration, and will hold office for ten years. These Commissioner- ships will form nice fat plums for friends of the Government in power whenever they fall due. The sole licence to broad- cast will be granted to this Corporation for ten years. This means that for ten years the monopoly will be stereotyped.

To put it mildly, listeners have been highly auspicious of the proposed
means of entertainment, news distribu- KING arrangement. Wireless is continually changing and developing; as popular
tion, and education it is in its infancy. It is felt that ten years is too long for this Corporation to have. the sole mond poly. If their work is unsatisfactory no change can be made until after a period of ten years. The old British Broadcast- ing Company was on its trial, and its Wersonnel was screwed up to the highest Pitch of endeavour. This" stimulus will now disappear; though as most of the staff will be re-engaged by the Govern
eot Commissioners it is to be hoped they will not too quickly fall into the Civil Service groove.
