Mrs Finletter and her husband had

The first Sunday morning there. as Mr..
Finletter sat with his enormous newspa-
per on his little porch. and all the neigh
bors on both sides OF the street sat with

Mrs Finletter suddenly came to the front

good story Is told of che OF the early
social experiences Of his wife. who. by
the way. is fully as competent to take her
place in society as her husband. She had
been invited to some of the political par
ties with him. and at one of them had
met Lady Haversham, great liberal
hostess. who paid the new minister's wife
a good deal of attention. Some time later
Mrs. Burns was giving a little tea party
a her modest house in Lavender Hill,
Battersea, and she ventured to invite
Lady Haversham, who replied that she
was rather busy and that as the distance
from Grosvenor Square TO Lavender Hill
was rather great she would have to deny
herself the pleasure of accepting Mrs.
Burns invitation.
Mrs. Burns waited her chance. and when
the next invitation from Lady Haver-
sham came she replied that the distance
from Lavender Hill to Grosvenor Square
was exactly the same as the distance
from Grosvenor Square to Lavender Hill.
One danger to Winston's career which
even his friends see is that he may be
in too much of a hurry to get to the top.
At present Lloyd George stands between
him and the leadership OF the liberal
party, and Lloyd George is only sixty
four years old and in vigorous health.
The political prophets declare. however.
that If it ever comes to fight for SUI
premacy between Winston and Lloyd
George. Winston will win. Winston
himself thinks SO, and he has declared
that his aristocratic birth and connections
will stand him in good stead in any
struggle for the leadership.
One consolation remains to him to on
set the social boycott. He is still the
friend of the German emperor, who In
vited him specially to attend the German
army maneuvers this year. But spiteful
people in England say that William did
it to annoy his Uncle Edward, whom he
cordially dislikes.

LONDON, July 9.-The near ap- proach of crisis in Persian affairs has had little effect in removing the com plexity of the situation.

 The distance from Enzeli to Teheran is 1s0 miles. It will therefore be at least another ten days before the Rus sian troops are able to take effective steps at Teheran.
 An armistice arranged between the Royalist and Constitutional forces to endeavor to arrange terms of peace expired Wednesday, and the revolution ists will have ample time to attempt the occupation of the capital before the Russians arrive.
