AN ANCIENT ORDER.
HOW THE SELECT "oRDER OF THE
GARTER" ORIGINATED.


Instituted In ths'Afiddle OF tho Fourteenth
Century by Edward III-Its Purpose at
First Only Temporary, but It Has Lasted
For Centuries.
The Order of the Garter is the high
est order Of knighthood In Great Brit
ain, its members consisting of the SOW
ereign, the Prince of Wales and twen-
ty-five knights companions, and 1t is
open, in addition, to such English prin-
ces and foreign sovereigns as may be
chosen, and sometimes to extra COM
panions chosen for special reasons, SO
that the whole order usuallynumbers
about50 Formerly the knights compan-
ions were elected by the body itself,
but since the reign of George III. ap-
pointments have been made by the SOW
ereign. The order was instituted by
Edward III. about the middle of the
Fourteenth century, but owing to the
early loss Of the original records the
date is uncertain. Its purpose has
been supposed to have been at first
only temporary. According to the
common legend, probably fictitious,
King Edward III. picked up garter
dropped by the Countess OF Salisbury
at ball, and placed it upon his own
knee, with the words to his courtiers,
in response to the notice taken Of the
incident, Honi soft qui NAL pense

name and the motto Of the order, are
usually ascribed.
The insignia of the order are the
garter, blue ribbon Of velvet edged
with gold, and having gold buckle,
worn on the left leg; the badge, called
the George or great George, figure OF
st. George killing the dragon, pendent
from the collar of gold, which has
twenty-six pieces, each representing q
