MOST EXCLUSIVE.

London is such a mighty city that men live in it all their lives and take their pleasures (or hide their grids) salitarily, or in select circles, as they choose. No body else need ever know. How many people have heard of the London Magis trates' dinner? It was held this week, as it is always held on the eve of Christmas, and is one of the most exclusive functions in London probably in the world. No layman may attend. The Press are, of! course, excluded. Even eminent K.Cs, whose naises are household words are barred as guests. The London Stipendi ar Magistrates are, in fact, a caste to themselves. One may ask whether on the festive occasion anybody ever cracks a joke over the walnuts and the wine. All that is known is that it is the custom to toast the newest comer to the august circle.

ME LLOYD CCOROE'S WAR BOOK.

Mr. Lloyd George's critics in the editorial columns of the London Press are ricking fun at his plea of poverty in regard to the dispute which has arisen between him and the New York Times and the Chinugo Tribune. He was to receive £40,000 from those papers for the American serial rights of his War Memo ries, for which he is to get altogether close upon £100,000.
