LONDON NOTES

Front Our Own Correspondent London, Aug. 25.

Before the war, in which he served with distinction, Col. Tweed was anything but the orthodox Liberal he has now become.

In those days his Left Wing tendencies found expression in a militant Socialism. When he was an undergraduate in the early nineteen hundreds, he chalked the pavements every Sunday morning to advertise Socialist mesting, to hich he used also to carry the platform.

He saw many sides of life. He worked as a dock labourer and as

WINCHESTER TO CHRIST CHURCH

FOUR GENERATIONS. Among the architects who will take part in the forthcoming centenary celebration of the RIBA is one whose family has teen connected with the Institute for four generations. This is Mra J. D. Kendall.

His great-grandfather, D. John Kendall, was one of the leading architects Rennie," of Waterloo Bridge fame, being another whom Prof. Donaldson invited in 1834 to join in founding the In- stitute

Mr. Kendall's grandfather was also in practice as an architect. He met his death by a fall from the scaffolding of a building upon which he was engaged.

His son, the late Mr. J. Ken- dall, father of Mr. J. D. Kendall, is the completing link in this line of four generations, which I should imagine is unique in the architec tural profession ..

COL. MAURICE BRETT Under a modest and even dif- dent manner, Col. Maurice Brett, whose death occurred after a day on the moors on Saturday, con- cealed a lively devotion to histori eal studies.

The London Museum, where he had been Assistant Keeper for the whole of the post-war period, owed much to his knowledge of the so- clal history of the mare recent past, and, he took a particular in- terest in the costume collection, of which he was himself a bene- factor.

-Col. Brett was a collector of pot tery and other small objects, and lent generously to the historical exhibitions held in the past few years in aid of the YW.C.A.

During the past few months he had been hard at work editing the papers of his father, the second Viscount Esher, the first volume of which is due in September, His publisher tells me that the first complete copy of the book only arrived from the printers on Fri- day and had not been seen by Col. Brett before his death..

The new Dean of Christ Church, Dr. A. T. P. Williams, is virtually unknown to the general public. His whole energies have been given. Been given to Winchester.

A FORTUNATE CHANGE Few writers of best-sellers are so little known to the public as Baroness Orczy, whose "Scarlet Pimpernel" is being filmed at Elstree..

Her son, Mr. John Orczy-Bar- Sunrise 6.09 a.m. Sunset-6.29 stow, is Professor of English at P.. Lausanne University. He is also a specialist in the period of the French Revolution, and has come. to England to advise on problems of dress, manners and customs.
