Federal courts there is telling when final decision
will be reached to the disposition TO be made Of
the notorious prisoner. Thaw enjoys the advantage
of being able financially TO prolong the fight ndeh-
nitey and to avail himself pf every protection that
may be offered by the Federal and State courts. The
legal struggle promises TO be fierce, long and expen-
sve TO both Thaw and the State OF New York. Pub
lie sentiment avors Thaw. II to feel that he
has suffered sufficiently for the crime he committed
the roof Of Madison Square Garden years ago and
to think that he is not nearly crazy as William
Travers Jerome would have the people believe Such
sentiment may not be founded upon sound public
policy, but It he denied that it exists in most
sections Of the United States.

GOSSIP OF THE COURTS


married life,' yet II is very interesting
TO know at what ages the successful
men of today have plunged into matri-
mony. The British premier. Mr.. Asquith,
was only 25 when he married his first
wife, Helen Melland, and we know it is
evident that Mr. Asquith did not find
any setback to his career, for he married
his second wife, Emma Alice Marharat
Tenant, three years after the death of
his first. Mr. Balfour is a bachelor, and
does not come in this category, but Mr.
Joseph Chamberlain married twice, and
he has certainly not had an unsuccess-
ful career. no matter what any ones
views Of his political faith may be-
Mr.. Lloyd-George was married at
the early age of twenty-five, as was
also Mr.. McKenna, the Home Secre-
tary. Mr. Winston Churchill mar
ried rather late in life. Mr.. Walter
Runciman, president OF the British
Board OF Agriculture, was twenty
eight, and his father. Sir Walter Run
ciman, only twenty-one. Yet neither
of these gentlemen has been a failure.
John Burns was just twenty-three,
and viii Crooks only nineteen when
they married, and both these men
probably did more hard and onsrous
work when they would otherwise have
been enjoying their honeymoon. Mr..
Bonar Law married somewhat late in
life.
But these are cases Of some few
years ago. and It is a fact that the
young man Of today who is anxious
to make a name for himself is not SO
ready to share his confidence and hon
ors with a woman. Whether this is
the result of the growth of sports,
such as rowing, cricket, and football,
! the cheapness of motoring, and the
fields which are open to the young
through new intentions, it is difficult
to say, but there are quite a number
of younger members Of Parliament and
politicians who at the age of thirty
and over still prefer to remain single.
The following interesting rules have
I been drawn up by the Inverness Kilt
Society, with the assistance of Lord
Lovet Seaf1eld and other Scottish
chiefs. i'm regard to the correct wear
ing of the Highland dress, according
to tradition. The kilt is to touch the
center of the kneecap IN front, and
great care must be taken to see that
the kilt is not lower on one side than
on the other. The lower part of the
belted plaid is exactly to reach 10 the
bottom of the kilt. The hose are tc
be worn one inch higher than the cen
ter of the calf of the leg "a good
guide is to get the top Of the hose
Just below the small bone on the out
side of the leg below the kneecap.
There should be the breadth OF the
hand between the top of the hose and
the bottom OF the kilt.

The latest addition to the already
long list Of insignia with which the
Englishman may earn the right to
adorn himself is "the Memorial Of
Merit of St. Charles the Martyr
Appointments TO the new order will
not form part Of the Kings birthday
and of the usual New Year honors,
for II is at present of somewhat un-
official character, being controlled by
a body OF churchmen (clerical and
lay) known as "The Chapter" who
are i'm full sympathy with the Catho-
lie Apostolic position of the Church Of
England
The first Chapter Of the Memo
rial order" has been constituted as
follows:
The Earl of Strathmore. the Earl of

d. Macleane, Proctor In Convocation
the Rev. Vernon Staley, chaplain and

member, the Earl of Castle Stuart.

will have the privilege Of buying a sill
YER medallion in the. shape of an eight
pointed star, with an efiigy of King
Charles In the center, surrounded by
a blue enamel band bearing the name
of the Memorial Order"
The order is to be of a purely re-
ligious character and distinction ap-
pertaining to the Church of England,
and its purposes are:
1. That it shall be a special Me-
mortal to the scored memory OF
Charles the First King and Martyr
who gave his life for the Church ol
England; and
2. That it shall be offered as a
token of regard and honor TO mem
hers of the Church of England (and
the churches in communion there
With who have served the church IN
some special way.
The chapter will endeavor first to
recognize faithful service, and no
distinction will be made in the
choice of candidates, but endeavor
will be made to keep the memorial
membership to those who are primar-
ily faithful and earnest Christians.

The recipes of many old English
drinks are a secret now. Monsieur
SOrbiere, in his Journey to London
in the Year 1895" mentions the names
of several popular liquors which
mystifed him (as they do us). Who,
for instance, knows the composition
of "Humtie Dumtie." Three Threads. "
"Old Pharaoh" "Hugmatee," "Clab-
mer Clown" "Eot Poss," Blind PEN
neaux." or "Stiffe?"
And centuries hence perhaps the
people will be puzzing over the
strange names of the drinks of the
present day. the mysteries of the
various cOlored seals and labels, the
lost scarlet of the three and other
stars, and the identity of the pedes-
trian whose name and drink were
popular in all London hostelries OF
the twentieth century; and lexico-
graphers will wonder who was the
John Collins or the Lloyd Sanders
who gave their names to a drink.
