SOCIETY IN THE HIGHLANDS.
THE KING - ONE OF OURSELVES,"
EDINOUGH, September 21st... A friend of mine, motoring recently to Inverness, asked his way of a group of gentlemen-standing by a car at the road side. We're going that way,” said one of them.
put you on the right road, and my friends can follow,' When they came to the cross roads, the helpful stranger, having, given the necessary directions, stepped off the car, and raised his cap. The moment the deerstalker was lifted, my friend recognised the King. Oh, your Majesty he began, but the King intercepted him with the laugh ing_words,--"One of yourselves up here,
The musical service at Crathic Parish Church is generally arranged after con- sultation with Her Majesty. She is evi- dently as fond of old Scottish tones she is of all Scottish dances. She is very partial to the strains of "Covenanters." which frequently figures in the service And the tune is as popular with. the con- gregation, as it is with the Royal family.
HIGHLAND HOSTESSES.
The Mrs. Mackintosh, wife of The Mac-| kintosh, recently the King's hostess, is a wealthy Welsh Indy. The Seaforth hostess to the Cabinet Ministers at Brahan Cas- tle, who likewise was the heiress to con.
siderable wealth, has also no claim to the Highlands as her birthplace. The Duchess of Athol, who was the Premier's host, is -Banffshire-lady. And the Duchess of Sutherland is English...
THE SEAFORTH. PEERAGE,
In conséquence of the death of his only son through war wounds, The Mackintosh of Mackinosh has no direct heir, and the estates will pass to a cousin. The Sea forth Peerage will lapse-for the fifth time with the present holders, as they likewise have no direct heir. The Duke of Atholl's heir is his brother. The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland have also no
direct heir.
LAUDER IN SCCIETY.
Sir Harry Lauder is not unduly de- pressed by his failure to sell his estate of Glenbranter, and is having an enjoy able holiday in the North. He has been shooting with Mr. Joseph-Farquharson; RA.. at Finzcan; angling with Lord and Lady Cowdray in the loch at Dunecht House; lunching with Lord Stamfordban at Balmoral; and spending a day with Lord Shaw at Dunfermline,

Sir Richard Cooper, M.P., speaking at Walsall, made an extraordinary state- ment about the death of Lord Kitchener.
COMMERCIALISING HEATHER.
"In the course of his last visit to the Lews, Lord Leverhulme, in one of his enthusiastice exhortations to the islanders. ta recognise the commercial value of their land, made a glowing reference to the money that might be minted from the sale of heather. He told them that the purple heather, so coinmon and unproduc- tive on the jaland, would be eagerly pur- chased in the large cities of the South If the people of Lewis gathered the heather in bags and brought it to his new Countries at Stornoway, he would buy it at ed. a pound and market it for them, The good news flashed through Lewis at telegraphic speed, and from the Butt to Loch Seaforth everyone began to gather heather. The scene at the Stornoway Canneries resembled a gathering of the clans; there were Macdonalds, Mackenzies, and Mackays; there were old and young, cular interest in the death of Lord Kit- He added that he had taken a parti crafters and fishermen; and they over-chener and the loss of the Hampshire whelmed, the officer at the Canneries with bags of heather.

With the coming of September oysters are in season, but the ery of the Newhaven fishwives in the streets of Edinburgh is now seldom heard, the beds in the neighbourhood being exhausted. It is strange that oystere have never been cul tivated to the same extent in Scotland as they are South of the Tweed. At one time there waä a large bed of them in the Firth of Forth. Fergusson, the ill-fated laureate of "Auld Reekie,' has.sung of them "Cauter Oysters"-

All the records of these facts are in the archives of the War Office at the present moment.
"What I did not know until quite recently was that some of the mines sown by the Germans around the Orkneys to catch Kitchener had painted on them
