burse the military authorities for the
guards services, in addition to which
they pay the men M shilling each
and provide them with a substantial
supper. The officer is supplied with
a good dinner and a bottle of wine,
and is allowed to have two guests,
who are also entertained at the ex-
pense of the bank. 1t is well known
that the late Marquis of Salisbury
frequently took pleasure in dining
there when his son, Lord Edward
Cecil. was on guard at the bank.
Formerly the officer was allowed a
guinea by way of remuneration, but
some years back this payment was
discontinued.
AT one time the bank officials Or
ganized their clerks into a volunteer
corps, not only for the defense OF the
building and the billion it contained,
but also for service outside 1t. This
corps was restricted to 400 rank and
file, and was divided into eight COM
panies, with one or the directors in
of each. It Is known that
both officers and men were well drill
ed and maintained Mt excellent stand
ard of efficiency, being required, like
other volunteer units, to be exar-
cised IN their annual course of mus

uai military guard room, together
with a dining room and bed room for
the omcer. The guard mounts duty
at the bank at 6 o'clock, and>ifs ar
rival nev fails to attract a small
crowd in the vicinity of the bank
premises. Four sentries are at once
posted, and the remainder of the men
await their turn for duty in the guard
room. They dismount at 6 O'Clock
the following morning, so that they
are on duty for only twelve hours.
whereas ordinary military guards last
twenty-four hours. From the time
the guard arrives until he leaves, the
bank employees remaining in the
building are practically under mill
tary law.
A novel feature connected with the
mounting and dismounting of this
guard is that on its way to the bank
and back it marches through the city
with fixed bayonets, a privilege which
it shares with the Bluffs, Royal Fusil-
iers and Royal Marines. On wet
days, however, the guard travels by
rail, usually at the expense of the
officer in command. It is worthy of
mention that the Bank of France
similarly enjoys the protection Of a
military guard.

HOME -DREssMAKING.
Almost invariably a iacket on

Almost invariably a Jacket or coat
body lining outwears that in the
sleeves. When it becomes necessary
to renew the sleeve lining do not for
get to cut the material about an inch
longer than the sleeves themselves.
This gives free play to the elbow and
is quite sure to provide greater and

Innings are of equal length with the
outsides.
In pressing seams, if there is no
seam board at hand, a rolling pin
wrapped in a clean cloth will serve
equally as well.
In putting belt on skirt, which,
by the way, should always be done
before evening the bottom, sew the

kerry. At the breaking out of the
volunteer corps in 1902 the bank
regiment was also disbanded, but
was resuscitated the following year
in consequence of hostilities break
ing out between this country and
France.
Not long afterward an auxiliary
corps was constituted from the
clerks, porters, messengers. etc., who
were not Incorporated in the original
bank battalion, but this was meant
for purely defense purposes, and was
not liable for service outside the
bank. Finally, when the battle of
Waterloo broke Napoleon's power,
and all danger of an invasion of
England disappeared, the two corps
were practically allowed to drop out
of existence, although the porters
still maintained a military organiza-
ton, and the bank military corps
continued to appear on the wal office
lists up till 1876. In that year the
Bank of England Volunteer Corps
was inaugurated, and this regiment
still appears in the army list under
the name of the Twenty-fifth Middle

trouble with the goods raveling when
the fitting is done.
If you wish to face the neck band
with as little bulk as possible use
tape. For draw-strings, curtains,
gathering-strings of p~etticoats and to
put on waists to hold them to their
place under the belt you will find the
tape to be more satisfactory than any
thing else.
Some shirtwaists are not gathered
at the waist line in front, but allowed
to fall loose from the neck and shoul-
ders. When this is desired a tape is
applied to the outside at back over
the gathers and tied around each
time the garment is put on. In maxi
ing the neckband cut two straight
bands. n inches wide, place them
together with right sides facing, and
stitch n inch around the top an11
ends of band, turn right side out and,
crease and haste the edges. Sew the|
band to neck of daist through the
inside section, having the seam on
the right side, turn the seams up.
turn in the remaining edges of band
and stitch the outside, covering the
seam stitching all around the band.

Facts About the Bank of England

The that war Office economy

of the guard at the Bank of England
has drawn attention to a subject of
which the general public knows but
little, but should the proposed with
drawal take place it will mean that
London will be deprived of one of
the most picturesque of its few mill
tary survivals, says London Tid-Bits.
Ever since the memorable Gordon
riots in 1850, when inkstands were
welted down as bullets for use in de-
Tending the bank against the rioters,
it has been the custom to set a mill
tary guard over the Golfers of the Old
Lady of Threadneedle street, and
this duty has for some time past been
the monopoly of one of the guards
battalions chartered in. Wellington
barracks.
The guard consists of an officer, a

It is the rare for tune of Seward that it has several singers of the highest training and possessing voices of unusual quality, who have figured in musical circles in large citiesof the states. Unthinkable as it may appear to the highly polished eastern mind these persons have brought their musical culture with them and can sing as we'll here as in the cultivated and refrigerated at. mosphere of Back Bay or the Great Lakes.
 Besides special numbers given by soloists an excellent chorus of care fully trained voices was a marked fea- ture of the program. The hall was crowded and only aattering comments were made upon the entertainment.
