Between!

You know that period of the year, both now and again in the Spring when our climate is uncertain. Some momings and .evenings are cold, but not cold enough to need an overcoat, yet an extra garment is needed.

For this "in between" season a woollie, or pull-over, with or without 'sleeves, meets the requirement.

Made In Scotland of pure wool in a delightful range of colours and designs, and being 'Scotch" Knit they are sturdily made to withstand hard wear. The very thing, too, for wear after a strenuous round of Golf or a hard set of Tennis.

An alteration has been made in the Royal Warrant for the pay of the Army by which lieutenants of 13 years' commissioned service will receive increased rates. The change: affects the cavalry, infantry of the line, and Royal Tank Corps, and is made in view of the abnormal situation in regard to promotion to the rank of captain at present ox- isting in these arms.
