DINING ETIQUETTE OF THE PAST
Lord Dawson On The Days Of Elizabeth
Viscount Dawson of Penn gave a description of dinners in past ages at a Harvelan dinner in Lon- don recently. in the number and richness of their vlands, he said, our ancestors made us look like Lilliputians.
Quests carried their own spoons as we did our watches, and there were no forks. To the last the Virgin Queen Angered her victuals. and that practice had its etiquette, for in a book of manners it was tald down. "Take your food only with three fingers and in small mouthfuls."
Lord Dawson said that when he looked at the Fellows, around him that night, each caressing the vintage of his cholce, he could not but reflect how forturiate they were. for not until the time of Queen Anne was such Inspiration within man's ken.
FITNESS CAMPAIGN Beferring to the National Fitness Campaign. Lord Dawson said that, few putting aside London and other cities, local medical services had outgrown
their present organisation, and the work of the doctors needed a new orientation.
If the campaign was to achieve its objects, its centre of gravity must be set within the medical profession. It was agreed that the medical practitioners of a local area were essential to the con- of the health tinuing success services because of their knowledge and their intimate contact with the lives of their patients.
But how could they play that part when the policy of the last 20 years had more and more de- them from responsible tached contact with the preventive me- dicine

Afterwards the registrar re- marked that it was strange their names should be similar and Brownsett replied, "We are second cousins; our fathers were cousins." Mr. Highet added that the wo- man was married in 1904, and her husband died in 1924.
Hugh Marcus Matthews, settle ment officer, sald Brownsett ad- mitted he and Mrs, Hensall were brother and sister.

MUTE VICTIMS
Det-insp, Long told the Court that Reed had been previously convicted in the name of John Marks. He had been well known in the West-end for a considerable time as an associate of convicted thieves and women of the streets. "He is known to me as one of the parasites of the West-end who deal with these women," the in- spector continued.
This kind of offence is very West-end, but frequent in the
