Mro. Hilton-Green, who is the wife of Mr. C. Hilton-Green, Master of the Cottesmore Foxhounds, com- plained that "The Sketch" identified her with {L photograph they published of woman wearing trousers in the hunting field.
Mr. Gerald Gardiner, for Mrx, Hilton Green, said that in an issue of the Sketch last month there up- peared a photograph of Mr. Ililton- Green on his horse with the hunt, Jooking at a woman standing beside him.
"Somewhat Unusual
The woman was dressed in some- what unusual attire and underneath the photograph were the words; "Mr. C. Hilton-Green, Master of the Cottesmore, chatting with Mrs. Hikon-Green at the meet at Lang. ham."
The woman was wearing trousers. Mrs. Hilton-Green would never have thought of appearing in the hunting field, or at a mest, in that attire, and she took strong excep- tion to it.
As soon as the matter was brought to the attention of the defendants they expressed their extreme, regret, explaining that they had received the photograph from a reputable agency. They had agreed to indemnify her against the costa of this nation and would repeat an apology they had Mrs. Hilton-Green did not desire to make money, out of the case

HIDING PLACES
FOR TREASURES British Muscum authorities have drawn up a scheme which aims at saving the priceless treasures housed there from an aerial bombardment of London in any future war.
Although the Museum has exten- alve cellars the trustees do not con- sider they are deep enough to be out of reach of modern high-explo- sive bontba. During the Inst war many of the valuables were buried In the then uncompleted Post Office tube, but this is no longer available. Consequently a list has been drawn up of safe hiding places, to which the Irreplaceable books, manu- -scripts, sculptures and other treasures would be taken in the event of a. war. Most of these secret caches are hundreds of mile from London.
SURPRISE ATTACK PROBLEM But the problem which perplexes Sir George Hill, the director, and the trustees is what will happens if as is probable, war should start with a surprise air attack.
As a Museum nuthority said: "With the roads congested with the mii- tary and cars evacuating the popula tion, It would be impossible to move many hundreds of tons of treasure in time,"
In that event the Museum would to take its chance. In the ovent
