WINSTON CHUURCHILL chewed hard on his

cigar as he stamped out of the room.

I felt sure he knew he was in the wrong, but he wasn't going to admit it to me.

I had got him ready for an important reception in Nancy, a small French town. I had laid out his morning clothes. In the left lapel of the jacket I had placed the ribbon of his French Medaille Militaire.

As he studied himself in the full-length mirror he suddenly spotted the ribbon.

"You've put it in the wrong lupel,"

he said.

ASSURED him that this decoration is always worn in the LEFT lapel, liké all official decorations.

"It is worn in the RIGHT lapel," he insisted.
