VICE-REGAL ETIQUETTE.
Mutiny in Lord Curzon's Household
Over the Precedence Claimed by
His Mother-in-Law.

London, May 17.-Private letters from
Simla bring tidfngs of something like
a revolution in the vice regal household
owing to the pretensions of the vice
reine's mother, Mrs. Letter.
Capt. Mead, one of Lord Curzon's
aides de-camp. has resigned, and other
members of the vicerOy's suit are re-
ported to be in state of suppressed
mutiny.
The trouble began with the giving of
orders by Lord CurZon that when Mrs.
and Miss Letter went driving together
they should be escorted by an aide-de-
camp.
There is no place on earth where the
rules of etiquette are so absolutely OBJ
served as in this colony, and Anglo-In-
dian officialdom was astounded by Lord
Curzon's action.
Tradition has prescribed that the sons
daughters or sisters of the viceroy may
have a vice regal aide-de-camp in at
tendance, but such a distinction has
never before been claimed for the vice
roy's mOther-in-law.
Capt. Mead formally declined to escort
the ladies and offered his resignation,
which was accepted. He is now return
ing to England.
The young Earl of Suffolk, another of
the viceroy'S aides, who is very sweet
on Daisy Letter, has since attended the
ladies, but not officially.
There has also been much trouble and
heartburning over the precedence of the
Vlceroy's mOther-in-law and sister-in-
law at vice regal entertainments.
Mrs. Letter insisted upon being taken
in after her daughter. This point was
conceded reluctantly by the starched
old officials, but was bitterly resented
by their wives
The vice regal circle being necessarily
restricted, this unpleasantness is con-
tinually cropping out in one form or an
other, making Lord Curzons life mis-
cradle.
Mrs. Letter apparently could not I'M
derstand what the trouble was all
about, and the intense enjoyment she
derived from her quasi-rega1 honors
was the most irritating feature of all to
the superseded wives of the high Off
Gals.

Advice

Clean and purify out of your body all
the poisons and dangerous ingredients
that have found their way into your
blood.
What are the great cleansing and pur-
flying organs of the body for, if not to
keep your whole system clean, pure,
fresh, natural and healthy?
When they are clogged, dirty and
sluggish from poison and tmpurity,
what can you expect but disease and
ugliness?
Dirt is poison, and poison is disease.
Dirt in your blood is the deadliest kind
of poison.
