ashore Just once This In Kingston ia
maica. Not one OF my shipmates farod any
better. One liberty in seven months is not apt
to make us glad we enlisted Can you blame US
If some of us desert under these circumstances
The newly enlisted men appear to feel this
denial of shore leave more keenly than the
Older men in the service.
The latter. naturally. by dint of many years
In the navy have seen something Of the world.
and shore leave for them means largely op-
portunity for revelry; but the young man who
is new in the service in imagination paints
vivid pictures of exploration of foreign ports, In
pursuit Of knowledge. and he experiences
poignant disappointment when his ship reaches
these ports and his captain refuses to let the
men land
According to the older men, this condition dis
gusts new man with the service quicker than
even bad food and excessive punishment.
THE JUNIOR OFFICERS
A severe arraignment of their junior officers
is made by the sailors of many ships. Accord
ing to the statement Of these bluejackets snob-
berry Is rampant among these officers. and there
is more class hatred aboard a battleship than
ashore. The describe the junior officers as
being in many cases bullying. overbearing and
naughty and evincing III concealed hatred for
the enlisted man, and declare that in no navy in
the world is there such lack of sympathy be-
tween officers and men In many warships Of
the United States navy
These dudes from Annapolis treat US as IL we
were lot of dogs" is the way one bluetacket
put 1t. They bully and do every thing but
strike u.s. and that they daren't do. I have
been in the navy many years and have never
seen such naughty set Of officers as
Annapolis has been graduating Of late years
If they think they ever get anything out
Of Jack by assuming that attitude. they are
sadly mistaken. There many men Of good
families and fair education serving COM
to be subjected to the indignities and the over
bearing treatment which many Of these officers
visit upon Somehow other the average
enlisted man which amounts almost to hatred.
They show it plainly. too. OF course there are
many good officers in the navy and the men
would go to hades to serve them: but the
naughty upstarts to prevail just now.
and 1t is having a mighty bad effect on the
men, l tell you.

It was decided that the collar should
be of pearls with the fringe of diamonds,

after dinner, she displayed the wonder

This was one Monday. On the follow
ing day the jeweler arrived. What
happened after that is told in various
ways. But the main elements OF the
story are the same.
When the jeweler had been summoned
to her presence her majesty opened W
her jewel cases Then calling an atten-
dant, she ordered that the $3.50, 600 dog
collar of Lady Q. be brought to her.
Your majesty. the collar is among

Now, although Queen Alexandra has
a very generous income from parlia-
ment, and although the King makes
her a large private allowance, and
though she has a. little fortune in her
own right, she is by no means a rich
woman. With her 1t is q case Of
noblesse oblige. And the greater her
position, the higher her station, the
more numerous are her obligations, and
the more binding the duties and chari-
ties that are imposed upon her.
''NobIesse oblige" has been the ruin
alton of many a sovereign.
Have your jewels reset" smilingly
suggested the King, knowing well how
much. it would cost her majesty.
*1t would give me much pleasure"
aequiesced the Queen, knowing all the
time how heartily 1t would tax her
private income. already greatly bur-
dened.
And SO to Windsor were sent the
contents of the Queens private jewel
cases. There came from Sandringham
tiaras and stars. cresceEts, and marvel
GUS brooches. Their were rings galore.
and there were jeweled birds and aig-
rettes. But in the lot there was a pretty
dog collar, partly Of pearls and partly
of diamonds, a beautiful collar it was.
and the Queen picked it up as it was lift
ed from its case and fingered 1t lovingly.

The Pasquier collection, which is to be sold at

fifty modern paintings which, to judge from the
