HOW THE GREAT DUKE SPELT
An invitation card sent out by the Duke of Wellington which 1 saw yesterday at the exhibition, in the Royal United Service Museum is a reminder that the dropping of the "u" In such words as "hon- aur and labour" is not American innovation. Like 80 many Americanisms it has Anglo- Saxon antecedents.
The card of the

asks for the honor company of Lt.-Gen. Sir James Macdonell at the dinner given by the Duke to celebrate the anniversary of Waterloo. The "favor" of an answer is requested.
Not till the publication of Dr Johnson's Dictionary in 1755 was English spelling at all stan- dardised. Wellington lived in an age in which the tradition of writ- ing precisely as one thought still survived.

Thus Castlereagh, who was his colleague at the Congress of Vien- na, also indulges in some eccen- tricities. In one despatch written to Liverpool in 1815, the then For- eign Secretary refers to states which ambition such objects." BRILLIANT FRENCH DETECTIVE
M. Peudepiece, the French detec-, tive who has been. trying to dis- cover possible ramifications of the. Stavisky affair in London, is one of the most brilliant officials of the Burete Generale.
At the French police headquar- ters he is in charge of the depart- ment which specialises in tracking down coiners, swindlers and forgers, It was he who, communicated the. first list of beneficiaries of Stavisky's cheques to the Parlia- mentary Commission which, is in- vestigating the scandal. In this manner te not unnaturally incur- red the displeasure of quite a num. ber of people occupying more or less prominent positions.
WAR-TIME SPY HUNTING During the war M. Peudeplece distinguished himself as a spy hunter.
He and M. Albert Priollet, who occupied a smilar position at the Paris Prefecture of Police, and who- varrested Mata Hari, shared these
honours more or less equally.
