Brown, of the stock Exchange, talking to Jones fixing a round of golf for Saturday. He has named the course and the hour, and Jones

has said.

"Right-o, old boy."

There the thing should end, but Brown feels this would be abrupt. "I shall motor down. I've still got the old Vermicelli. Good car, but wants docoking.. I think I shall

"By the way, why not bring the wife and I'll bring my eldest daugh- ter, Daphne..... Yes, topping girl, though I say "80. Just engaged. You know that Brindley boy-the

one who did so well at Oxford-"

And so forth.

After ten minutes he finally re- capitulates the whole necessary message. "Right-o, then. Eleven thirty."

Mrs. Williams, occupying the line for fifteen minutes to tell Mrs. Smith she is so sorry she cannot make one at Bridge that evening, is just as bad. She tells the whole of the day's domestle troubles-whis pers something about "Some one- you know who," and "I'll tell you all about it later. Do you know what she did at the Twigson's dance? Oh, perfectly outrageous, my dear!"

From this she strikes the tangent of the dance itself.

Finally she concludes with the full message.

"So sorry I can't come, darling. Better luck next

time."...

Yes, a school for teaching! "Ameu" to telephone usera is a crying need.

Lord Dalziel, as chairman of the Pullman Car Company and president of the International Sleeping Car Co., was known as "The Sleeping Car King," and one of his efforts resulted in the "Blue Train" to the Riviera.

The tribute he paid to Lady Dalziel in leaving her the whole of his vast fortune is one that will be understood by all who knew of the wonderful affection they had for one another.

They were married more than fifty years ago, and Lady Dalziel was a real helpmate to him in all that he did. Every morning she would drive him to the City in her small car and in the evening

she would journey to the City to drive him home.

She nursed him night and day through his last illness.

His death was her second great sorrow. The first one had been shared, for their only child, a girl, died in early life

nearly sixty seaplanes, under the command of General Pinedo, over the Mediterranean, touching the North African, Spanish,' and French coasts. .

The flotilla starts from Or betello, some ninety miles from Rome, and flies in regular formation to Cagliari, in Sardinia, to Pollenza, in the Balearic Isles, to Carthagena and Tortona, in Spain, and thence to Marseilles and back to Bardinia and Orbetello. The air fleet. is divided into three squadrons, the first two command- ed respectively by Colonels Cassone and Lodi, and the third by General Pinedo himself. They are fol. lowed as far as Caliari by-Signor Baibo, Under-Secretary for Aeoro- nautics, and the air attachés in Rome of England, France, the Unit- ed States, and Spain are invit- ed to accompany the cruise..

The object is to demonstrate the

efficiency of the machines and dividual pilots and commanders of motors built in Italy and give in- flotillas the opportunity of practice on a large scale. A staff comman. der of the Admiralty also ac- companies the air fleet part of the

POLICE "SPYING."

SEVERE CRITICISM BY A SOLICITOR.

Summonses against Harry Charlwood, of the Sebright Arms, Barnet, for supplping intoxicating liquor after ten p.m., and against six customers for consuming the liquor after closing time, were dismissed by the Barnet Bench.

Police-constable Heathcote, in evidence, admitted that he went to the house in plain clothes at 9.45 and conversed with the cus- tomers.

After he had given an account of what drinks were bought be fore and after closing time, Mr.. Hatton, the defending solicitor, said;
