Their Christmas Day duty had been to ride forty-two miles across the desert, with dea- patches. Their duty was finished when they had banded in those despatches to the General, but they waited outside his door while he read them. In a few minates the old officer appeared, thanked the two non-coms, spi told them to sit down and have a good meal He knew they hel earned it. So he instructed th waiter to see that his soldier lads] were properly attended to.
So far, the reader will perceive this is quite a nice, topical Army story, with a Christmassy favour of good-will.
We are sorry to hare to spoil it now. For, no soccer were those two men seated, and about to attack the dinner they had so well earned, thaa up row all the ladies in the room in a state of high indignation. Our into the hall they mar ched, with their noses elavated. in the air, and they informed the astonished waiters that they woul-i finish their dinners when the common soldiers were done, for they, as perfect ladies, were no: accustomed to dining at the same table with mere, ordinary, com mon soldier men, Haughty andi hot, those high-born dames deem- ed themselves horribly insulted.

We understand that the ladies of Suez, sccompanied by their bosbands, left the hotel before many hours bad passed, the hist having been dropped that their departure would be welcome. It is quite possible that, in any cir- -comstances, they would not have | vintured to remain to face the situation after so public and so perfect a lesson in table deport- ment, manners, and decency. Women of such outrageous vanity, að valgerly rude, needed to be sold and told sharply, like & sisp in the face that the "commen adidier" is not to be insulted. It is good to know that a fine old Gen- eral was on hand to administer the necessary castigation so promptly.
