Denison Ross (director of the School of Oriental Studies) and · Lady Ross, Captain E. La Thomson (Consul- General of Albania), Mr. Frank Rye (Mayor of Westminster), and Mr. Francis Boura (who, as years of age, is able to claim that he is the oldest customer, baying first visited the Cheshire Chemo *** in 1831, when he came to London for the exhibition opened by Queen Victoria).

At the appointed hour of 8.30 the mighty pudding was borno aloft into the olid room by the chef and his trust hench men, and Lord Burnham, according to historic custom, called upon the principal guest to cut it. This the Ambastor did, with the assistance of Admiral Mark Kerr, thereafter ale, pancakes, and toasted theve were serve until the time enme for the toasts of the evening. The Chairman in proposing the health of the guest of honour, said they were all glad to see the French Ambassador, because he was a fine critic of literature, and appreciated Eug. lish literature as much as his own. Chie hundred and forty-eight times in successive years, the great pukling had been cut, at the beginning of the winter season by men of distinction, but by one of more dis tinction than that Ambassador whom they hat the honour to welcome to their board. They welcomed him with the utmost friend- ship, because they had to pull together and live together. (Hear, bear).

In that statement-(which I challenge) he said that the first step towards the consummation of. such a momentous result for the protection of mankind was to get rid of the two worst assassite in the world that is to say, French taxi drivers and English cooks.

I quite agree as regards the French taxi drivers, but I emphatically deny the second part of the statement. my fellow countrymen could share my good fortune to-night they would realise that Frenchmen and Englishmen are brothers in else. gastronoiny, in everything (Cheers) That is, the thing that matters most.

In seems that after a shopping expedition: is Regent-street and Oxfordstreet, the necklace was found to be broken, and the most valuable pearl in it was missing: An framediate search met with no success, hút it was learned later that a roadsweeper shortly afterwards found what he thought to be commen brad, and consigned it with rond" refuse to his part.

If he does not sleep, or is restless in sleep, he is unwell, and a frequent cause of Baby's ill-health is indigestion. A suitable form of milk is the only food for a baby up to nine months, and GLAXO is milk in its most nourishing, and most digestible form.

Glaso has only to be mixed with bot, boiled water, to provide instantly the required quantity of pure, freak, unsaulterated milk-milk made specialy digestible and safe for Baby by the Glato Process
