1t is always interesting to see man
KIND throw off tho outer trappings Of
civilization and show himself in the
nudity of his savage and unreclaimed
nature. This is what You sec occas-
ionally though not often, in the house
of commons. If you looked at tho
present tory party in the house, you
would be inclined to believe that
mover did there appear Il party in any
Legislative assembly i'm tho world
which had Il creator claim to good
looks, good clothes and good manners.
1t is a party largely Of young men.
Tho land taxes of Lloyd Georges
budget so alarmed the whole tory
spurcarchy that they all rushed into
the fray. and took a kcener interest
in political warfare than ever they
had done before. They felt that at
last they had before them a formida-
I'lc enemy who would never rest until
their power to tho ground. The result
was that every great house sent forth
to battle its SONS, and all tho terri

Add that there are also among tho
tories d certain number OF soldiers,
and the English soldier wherever hs
may appear carries with him the
same particular care Of his clothes
and his appearance as in the days
when he was supcrintending the pipe
clnying OF Tommy Atkins. We have,
for instance, among the present mem-
bcrs, Sir Reginald Polo Carey, ono of
the best known generals Of the South
African war. Pole Carey is the typi-
cal English officer, with clothes as
tight fitting to his well proportioned
body as If he were in stays. His mus

Bonar Law Leader of Tories.
1t is one of the Ironies of the pres
