EVE

Hope you reached home safely yesterday. By the way dear, did I leave a little green bag in your car? Nothing in it, of course, excepting my tram season and a few odds and ends. I really have some news for you, and I'm sure that you will laugh, only do keep it a secret, dear... although you must ask George what he thinks about it. Bungho is going to give a talk over the radio, but simply won't tell me the subject. I found out just by accident. I cannot imagine what on earth he has to talk about, although I've - always told him that he has just the right sort of volce for an announcer. ...so dignifled.

Names Of Paris Streets

NAMED TO PLEASE

GOURMETS

Paris.

I would be strange indeed if Paris, gastronomic centre of the work, had not perpetuated the art of drinking and eating in the names of her streets. Food and wine have given names to many Paris thoroughfares, and the sculptor who wants to convert still-life into stone of symbolize with his chisel the soul of the vintages of France will find here plenty of opportunity.

It is hardly necessary to say that Paris has named a street for Brillat-Savarin, prince of gourmetà and author of The Peychology of TaRtc. She has also labelled many Atracts with names that will appeal more directly to the sensitive salivary glands.

There are two' centres in Paris about which appetite-titillating names occur, the wine market-and the central markets. Both of them, of course, have their own streeis, the street of the Markets and the street of the Wine-Markets, to which Paris was once able to nud the Street of the Wheat. Market, which has now become the Street of the Commercial Exchange, for the very good reason that that building has replaced the old mar- ket, and the Street of the Meat Market, which disappeared in one of the extensive reorganisations of the quarter which the growth of the markets has enused again and again.

The wine markets are by far the younger of the two centres (1808). Five north-south streets through the 14-acre space which cost the city 30,000,000 francs (a lot of money in those days), named

LAST RELIC OF SCOTTISH NAVY'S DAY!

ANCIENT ENSIGN

AT EDINBURGH Among the many objects of interest which may be seen in the comparatively new Naval and Mill- tary Museum in Edinburgh Castle, perhaps the most unusual and sure- ly one of the most interesting is the ancient Scottish Naval Ensign which hangs from the West wall.

As far as is known, this flag is Scottish unique, being the only maritime ensign in existence, and the Inst relic of the ancient Scottish naval force, which after the Union of the Parliaments in 1704 patroll- ed the Scottish const to guard against the possibility of a French invasion, and to seek out the numer- ous smugglers who then infested the sea-line.

This force, an odd mixture of regular navy and armed merchant- imen, had Lelth as its base, and old
