Prince Charlie's Liqueur
The origin of "DRAMBUIE" and the basis of its production give it a character distinct from other Liqueure.
Brought to Scotland by a follower of Prince Charlie in 1745, the recipe was given to a MacKinnon of Skye, and the secret hay ever since remained in one family. The MacKinnon of that day employed the materials which were available, and in place of Brandy a fine old Whisky was used. This, along with heather honey and herbal ingredients of recognised value as aids to digestion produced a Liqueur which soon gained the post of honour on the tables of Highland Aristocracy, and is now known world-wide,

This. interesting point arises as the re sult of sending an Egyptian mummi- Red cat by air from Holland to Croydon. It arrived during the week-end and for the moment can- not be delivered to the antique dealer in London to whom it is addressed because it is held up at the Customs pending a declara tion from the vendor that it is not less than 100 years old." As the cat (in its present form) is said to be more than 2,000 years old, there should he little difficulty about providing the Custom anthorities with the declaration thoy require: this cat must have lived through all its nine lives dong before Croy don was heard of. As a matter of fact, however, one wonders why h.cat ceases to bo dutiable at the arbitrary age of 100; for most cats are out of action long before that ago; and most dead cats would be in a very deplorable condition if they were allowed to reach it
White-Goved Motorists,
From casual observance it would seam that the Automobile Associa tion will find reason to be gratified with the initial response to their suggestion that drivers should went white gloves during the season when visibility is affected by poor light and mist. This simple means. of making their signals more easily Been by other rond users is already adopted by many motorists, and the efficiency of it is surprising even in the well-lit London streeta.
