an office OF much antiquity, which IS 70,

Lord Dunboyne is n lawyer, and, like
his predecessor in office, master in chal.-
cery. One of the former Lords Dunboyne
was Roman Catholic bishop of Cork. H1
inherited the peerage unexpectedly
through the death of a nephew. Wishing
to perpetuate his family, this member of
a celibate priesthood applied to Pope Plus
vi. for dispensation to retire from the
episcopate and marry. The Pope refused.
whereupon Lord Dunboyne broke, his
vows and married Protestant lady.
| There was no issue to the marriage, and

Leopold happens to be staying-that IS to

ton. But the hotel landlords are in the
habit of increasing the prices of break
fasts, luncheons and dinners for every one
of these meals served to visitors when
King Leopold happens to be present, pro-
tests being met by the argument that the
pany with a full-fedged king is worth
being paid extra for. While this is some

ment, the practice has long been IN vogue
at the fashionable boulevard restaurants

other foreign royalties visiting Paris pre-
rooms to the privacy of the "cabnet par

| OF the restaurants in question the
habitues of the place have invariably
been compelled to pay some 80 per cent,
and even more over the the regular Peics;;
