the Oldest hotel in Europe. King Fer

Of having had so many royal visitors
as have enjoyed its hospitality. The
existing visitors books, which date
from 1915 contain the names Of more
than 500 imperial, royal and princely
personages. The room is shown where
in 1865 the late Prince Bismarck, at
that time Prussian premier, slept when

conference which was the last attempt
to prevent war between Austria and

as the warder Of the castle could dis.

concocted on a cipher to which Sir
John had a clew. Every third letter

Pleasant Lessons In History.

Improvised historical plays form
part Of the history lesson in a London
school. Children nine and ten years
old act the battle of Hastings, boys
representing william the Conqueror
and King Harold leading parties of
Normans and Saxons, respectively.
Rulers serve as swords, and the armies
advance and withdraw realistically.
When the children take their seats
after the combat the teacher asks
them historical questions about the
battle and the characters they por-
trayed. Among other plays presented
are "The Siege Of Calais" and 1.-THE
Introduction Of Printing Into Eng

II is of interest to note that the
choice of white for wedding gowns Is
comparatively of modern origin. The
Roman brides wore yellow, and In most
eastern countries pink is the bridal
color. During the middle ages and In
the renaissance period brides wore
crimson to the exclusion Of all other
colors. Most of the Plantagei1et and
Tudor queens were married In that
vivid hue, which is still popular in
parts of Brittany, where the bride Is
usually dressed in crimson brocade, It
was Mary Stuart who first changed the
color Of the bridal garments. At her
marriage with Francis I. of France In
1858, which took place not before the
altar, but before the great doors of
Notre Dame, she was gowned In white
brocade, with train of pale blue Per-
sian velvet six yards in length. This
innovation caused a great stir in the
fashionable world of that time. 1t was
not however, until quite the end of the
seventeenth century that pure white,
the color worn by royal widows, be-
came popular for bridal garments.

With the opening up of new
building lots on the Basket Factory
site, the erection of a new hotel and
a Federal Building, Smyrna promises
to enjoy one of the first building
booms in several years, but let US
not lose sight of the fact we need
industries and more Industries. By
inducing industries will come a
greater building boom. The Smyrna
Board of Trade cannot do all.
President LeFevre is painstaking
and conscientious in the matter of a
live Board of Trade but unless CAP
ital is forthcoming from those who
are able to "boost", the efforts of
the Board of Trade can avail little
or nothing.
