Life SAVING and Law.

The Roumanians are as curious in
some things as the Chinese. A girl
who fell into the river and was swept
down by the current finally seized a
bush on the bank and drew herself
to shore. The owner Of the land on
which the bush grew Immediately
claimed reward OF 4 shillings because
his bush was there and had saved her.
Her father refused to pay, and there
was lawsuit. What the law has to
decide is whether drowning people can
make use Of bushes on the bank with
out paying for the same or whether the
assistance of the said bush is worth
certain sum of money.
In China if a person falls into the
water no one must help him out, but
at the same time a spectator can be i'm
prisoned for not advising the victim to
stay on dry land.

Spoiled Their Waltzinu,


In her memoirs Nine. de Boigne
gives some interesting glimpses Of
English social life. For instance, she
writes:
-'In 1916 no young English lady ven
tured to waltz. The Duke of Devon
shire returned from tour in Germany
and observed one evening at a large
ball that a woman was never seen to
better advantage than when waltzing
/ do not know whether he was anx-
ious to play a trick, but he repeated
this assertion several times. It was
passed from mouth to mouth, and at
the next ball all the young ladies were
waltzing. The duke admired them
greatly, said that it was delightful and
gave proper animation to a ball. He
then added carelessly that he, at any
rate, had decided never to marry a
lady who waltzed. 1t was to the
Duchess Of Richmond and at Carlton
House that he saw fit to make this
revelation. The poor duchess, the most
clumsy of matchmaking mammas, near
ly fell off her chair with horror. She
repeated the statement to her neigh
bors, who passed it on, and consterna-
ton spread from seat to seat. The
young ladies continued to waltz with
clear consciences. The old ladies were
furious, but the unfortunate dance was
concluded. Before the end Of the even
ing the good Duchess of Richmond
was able to announce that her daugh-
tiers felt an objection to Waiting
which no persuasion of hers could ever
overcome. Some few girls of more in
dependence continued to waltz, but the
majority gave it up"
