London, September 1.-THE Count
bility TO run an agricultural school 1r
her Essex estate near Dunmow. Lady
Warwick, who makes herself extremely
busy with educational schemes and
the Socialist propaganda, has announc
ed that her farming college, which she
has tried for twelve years to carry on
against the opposition of the Essex ed
ucational authorities, shall be closed
forthwith
The object of the college was to edu-
cate the children of the local farmers
in scientific husbandry So far as the
number of students went, the school
was a success. but the educational au-
thorities have killed it by their per-
sistent refusal to grant financial help
on the ground that the school did not
conform to their regulations.
Lady Warwick, however. had the sup
port of the government board of edu-
cation in her fight, and the council OF
the neighboring county of Hertford-
shire also helped her by founding
scholarships at her school.
But now. owing to lack of support"
Lady Warwick is compelled to lock the
doors of her unique college to the sons
and daughters of Essex yeomen.
Democracy has invaded the British
house of lords, in the shape of straw
Int
session, which has been prolonged
throughout the vacation season, no
peer dreamed of attending the gilded
chamber dressed otherwise than in the
regulation sill, hat and frock coat.
The peer who was daring enough to
defy solemn tradition thus was the
Earl of Mayo who is no upstart COM
mercial peer but the representative of
an ancient Irish family, whose peerage
is an eighteenth century creation. Lord
Mayo did not go so far as to wear the
straw hat within the house itself, but
hung it up in the lobby.
His lordship, however. sat in tweed
suit among the other peers in black
frock coats and the bishops in lawn
sleeves. He was kept in countenance
by Lord st. Aldyn formerly Sir Mich
ael Hicks Beach,, who wore light
gray summer suit.
Lord Lyveden, who has been an act
or and ships purser, deeply offended
some of the more aristocratic peers by
smoking a Misunderstanding pipe. and
strong tobacco within the precincts of
parliament. The Duke of Rutland
voiced the disgust of their lordships,
asking Lord Lyveden in a panied voice
whether 1t was 'in order to smoke a
pipe in the house of lords
The cheap meals at % cents intro
duced by labor members into the menu

lords showing the rapid progress de-

Green derby hats are the latest devel- |
opment of the crave for verdure in
mems clothing that has prevailed this
year. After green suits. green shirts.
green hosiery and green ties, it was but
natural that the autumn headgear
should catch the epidemic.
The way has been prepared for the
green derby by the great vogue of
green Tyrol hats-a soft felt affair with |
a small brim and a peculiar arrange
ment of the band. which flutters sever
al short ends at the back.
These Tyrol hats in various shades |
or green. more or less brilliant. have |
been worn everywhere by smart men /
throughout the vacation season. The |
green derby is generally more sober in /
tone. although a fearsome mixture of |
green and yellow has been seen. There |
seems no reason why it should not be-
come as popular as the brown and gray
derbies.
