BUTTON LEBENSRAUM

This Tale of a Button comes from a friend who has recently been in Berlin.

An American newspaper dor- respondent In Berlin lost a but ton off his overcoat. In vain be searched the shops of the Ger- After man capital for a button. almost giving up hope of over finding one he saw exactly what he wanted on the coat of a col- league sitting next to him at a Press conference.

The temptation was too great to be resisted. He quietly twisted off the button and pocketed it. This invasion of another. man's Lebensraum did him little good. Ha le still going about with one button missing from his over- cont. Nowhere in Berlin could he find any thread.

In traditional style he was car- rled by his fellow competitors from the firing point tent, there to be cheered and con- gratulated by the large crowd pre- sent for the prize distribution. The prize list showed that the meeting had been a triumph for the Royal Engineers. The Governor's Prize, the Grand Aggregate and the All Comer's Aggregate, the three major competitions, went to Le Seelleur, who in addition to shooting helped in the preparations.

HENNESSY and SODA

For a tall cold drink that is really

try Hennessy-and-soda. For refreshing and satisfying generations it has been a standby in the tropics. The exquisite flavour and smoothness of Three-Star Hennessy and the efferves- cence of the soda unite to form a beverage that is a delightfully pleasant answer to the enervating heat.
