The Victorian assumption, far too easy, he said, was that the threefold division of the British system into- free dominions, crown colonies, and India, would continue virtually un- changed, and that the course of evolution would not be subject to any catastrophe, while our later theorists seemed to take for granted that the special providence which and so conspicuously watched over Britain would ensure the clear de- velopment of this vast and varie gated system into the British com- monwealth of nations, that concept for which General Smuts during the war did perhaps more than any other public wan.

3 A.M. RULE FOR DEBUTANTES.
SEVENTY MOTHERS PUT THEIR FEET. DOWN.
A society revolt against late par- ties in Now York, making 3 a.m. the "dead line" instead of 6 or 7 a.m., as hitherto, has been started by anothers of debutantes at the opening of the season.
Seventy mothers recently met at the home of Mrs. Seth Milliken. one of New York's social leaders, and pledged themselves, not to weaken in making 3 a.m. the fashionable hour for breaking up all parties. They declared that the new standard must be maintained not only to protect young debut- antes health, but also "because more business men go to parties when they don't have to stay up all night."
Mr. Grace spoke a sentence into the telephone transmitter, and by means of amplifiers this sentence was heard by all the audience,
