CELEBRATE SIGNING
OF TREATY OF CHEN1

London, Jan. 11.--Earl Grey, who has
taken the presidency of the British
committee for the celebration of the
hundredth anniversary of the signing
of the Treaty Of Client, between Amer
lea and England, is one of that type
of Englishmen. who at the conclusion
of their active service for the state
take up movements for the general
good, which in fact keep them almost
if not more busy than did their pub
lie duties. After the usual few years
in parliament Earl Grey became add
ministrator of Rhodesia and by easy
stages reached the governor general

viceroyalty of India, the highest post
in the colonial service, His term in

his return home he has not allowed

has taken up the celebration of the
hundred years peace with enthusiasm
and is working hard for it.

SHOCKED BY
P|CCAD|LLY NEWS

Paris, Jan. 1.-THE world Of Paris
ian dandies, whose existence is oeeu
pied with carieaturing the English and
American male fashions, has been
greatly agitated by the news that a
few DAYS ago a well-known elegant.
was seen in Piccadilly, not with pop
Ply or a lily, but a leather handbag
hanging from his left arm, and WAS
further seen to enter a store and stow
away his trifling purchases in his reti-
cule. which contained, as permanent
fittings, a cigarette case, matches, a
purse, knife. and an oxford Bible.
The latest within of female eccen-
tricity, as a counterpoise to the male
handbag, is the introduction of dia-
mond- studded shoe heels. A we'll
known dancer is responsible for this
idea. Her dream, it appears, Is to aban-
don shoes for sandals, so that she may
be able to adorn her feet with rings
in the classical manner, but, as this
seems impracticable in the muddy
Paris streets, she is considering a COM
promise in the shape of bediamonded
heels. Her suggestion. which is be-
lieved to have had a ns-Atlantic in
spiration has been welcomed with 4
chorus of approval in theatrical circles.
