ROMANCE OF THE TSAR'S COUSIN.

· NEW CAREER FOR COUNT MICHAEL TORBY.

One of the most astonishing of all the

| topsy-turvy ręmanges of the war is sun- med up in the fact that Count Michael Torby has become a dress designer in the West End of London, says the Daily Bxpress.

..

Count Michael is the only son of the Grand Duks Michael of Russia, second cousin of the Tsar, who was recently kill ed by Russian revolutionaries. Ho is thus connected with our own Royal Family, and just before the war the King; and Queer dined at Ken Wood-then the Grand Duke's Hampstead house and after dinner the finest ball of the 1911 season was given to celebrate the coming out of Countess Nada Torby, the second daughter of the Grand Duke. and hia; wile, the Countess Torby,

Count Michael's elder sister-the Countess Ziais the wile of Major Sir, Derrick Wernher, the inheritor of mil- lions left by his father, Sir Julius Wern- her, the great South African diamond company director. The Count is the youngest af the three children, and is twenty years of age.

NOT RECOGNIZED.

But for the war he might possibly have gone some day to Russia, which his father Telt more than twenty years ago in order] to live in England with the wife whom the Tsar of those days refused to recognize because she was not of royal blood. The late Tsar was on friendly terms with the Graad Duke Michael, and the young Count might perhaps have gained a posi- tion in Russia such as would seem the proper lot of a basin of the Tsar.

He was brought ip in luxury in Eng. Iand. He lived with his father and mother at Keele Hall. in Staffordshire, A magnificent country house in the Tudor- style, or at Ken Wood, one of the most! beautifully situated of the old Hamp stead houses, with large gardens and grounds..

He seemed assured of a life antroubled by the need of making money. Then came the war and the Russian revolution, and the family fortunes vanished. The Grand Duke left Ken, Wood. Now the Count has set up in busi nesa as the rival of Lucile and Paquin and Poiret

"THY worry? The, War's over!". So it is. We have all heard that remark more than once, but there is much to worry about. yet. We're not out of the game simply because the Huns have laid down their guns. What you gave on Heather Day and at the Fair is surely not the limit of your sacrifice! There are thousands and thousands of brave men condemned to pass the rest of their lives in misery unless we rally to the aid of the great work of healing. Thanks to the Army and Navy, we have had, and will continue to have, a very comfortable time in Hongkong. It is our duty then to worry," in order that the maimed and sick, the human wreckage of the great war of Liberty, may be restored. Every one of us here owes a great debt to the men who fought and bled in the wara debt which we can' never repay But we can show our appreciation by giving our last cent to the great work of mercy in which so many noble men and women are engaged at home. Money is urgently needed. Shall we grudge it now that the war is won? Never let it be said that our patriotism and honour petered out with the echo of the last shot. Don't say that you put every cent you had into Heather Day and St. Andrew's Fair. The War Bond Drawing is for the same cause, and its success must be written down in the annals of the Colony's giving as another endeavour to show tangible appreciation of the brilliant achieve- ments, on the battlefield and on the North Sea, of the bravest boys on earth. Make the result a Victory Oring worthy of the Colony.
