determination not only to support labor candidates, but to finance them as well. There is to be great outpouring of funds. The result will be that when the general election comes there will be innumerable triangular contests
 A well informed political writer says that this probably will return the union ists with too small a majority to be workable, whereas in all ordinary events the government will come back with only the loss of comparatively few seats.''
 He continues: There is no question of patriotism; suffragettes care nothing for empire They mean to have the vote, and they are not likely to shrink from financ- ing irresponsible individual candidates drawn from labor when they pour chemi- calls into letter boxes, burn country houses, and destroy masterpieces such as the Velasquez Venus.
 An illustrious statesmen has said that he regarded the danger of suffragette in- terference in elections as a greater peril than any civil war in our islands Their funds cannot be estreated, for they are lodged in Paris and Brussels; their re- sources seem practically limitless, and how they would exercise power if they ever acquire it may be diagnosed by means they are taking to obtain the vote"

Twenty Guinea Bououets

The basket of flowers handed over the footlights to prominent leading lady vI a musical comedy girl may have cost anything from one guinea to 25 guineas says Tit-Bits It all depends on the kind of blossoms employed and whether spe- cial design has been followed. Sometimes when particular design is made out of compliment to some favorite there is a charge of several guineas for this alone. On the evening of her last appearance In London Miss Gaby Deslys was presented with bouquet that cost 20 guineas.
 Generally, the selection and arrange ment of the flowers is left to the florist, because if exactly so many carnations ard exactly so many roses are ordered, tn.
 florist has to suppress his artistic in- stinct, with unsatisfactory results.
 The guided young men who present ex- pensive gifts to actresses simply say how much they are prepared to spend on Il bouquet, and don't worry over the details. However. the glory of the bouquet pre- sentation is over. Fewer are handed over

She sup ported at her own expense former gov erness. and the only demand that she made in return was to be coached. When there was to be a party at Tranby Croft, her fathers residence, Miss Wilson would send the governess the names, of any ce- lebrities who were to attend, and the next day when the governess had been to the British museum libraries would dispatch a complete precis of what they had writ ten and done. so that Miss Wilson could talk to them with absolute familiarity about their achievements.

What It Looked Like

From Pearson's Weekly.
 Many unkind things have been said about the difficulty of making head or tail of the Futurlst paintings, but the latest story is positively cruel. It was told the other evening across the dinner table of well known caricaturist.
 The caricaturist said that he had that dap paid viist with a number friends to the studio of Futurist painter in or. der to examine the painting he had pre- pared for a forthcoming exhibition.

Presentation at Court

A matter that the court officials have felt it necessary to impress upon foreign CTS presented to the King and Queen is that the fact they have been presented at court does not carry all the privileges that are somtimes suggested. Nobody who has not been presented at a court or leyee can be asked to meet the King and Queen, but the fact that they have been presented does not mean that they will be invited to meet their majesties on some other occasion. The presentation at courts or levees has no further results than the appearance of the names of the presented in the following morning 8 papers. It confers no privilege except that of entry-when invited-to a foreign embassy abroad. The suggestion that pre- sentees are entitled to receive at least one invitation to state ball, lacks any authority. The lists of invitations for roy al functions are compiled from the book containing the names of those presented at court, but in the first place the lord chamberlain makes out the lists and then they are carefully scrutinized by the Queen. In the last reign King Edward went over the lists, but King George has left this task to his consort, so that every name Is carefully considered before it is passed.

WILL CURE TOWN

| Colony, like the average small town, has its portion of knockers. They haven't any real grievances, only a sort of innate desire to knock. They

 man in Colony has decided that these
 knockers must be converted into boost
 CTS if this town Is to thrive as it should. His vacation is converting and his avocation farming. This man is thei Rev. "Zeb" Thomas.
 MT. Thomas farms week days and breaches Sundays. Whenever he comes to town the villagers tell him i their woes. He Is the exchange for the village woes. Now MT. Thomas | has found that the knocks are not very we'll founded, so he has arranged | for a love feast where everybody can get together and forget differences. It was the recital of these stories stories that you'll hear afloat in every
 country town-that gave "zeb Thomas the idea
 Booting Colony around like thatl Col ony, one of the prettiest little towns in the state of Kansas Colony with, It's 500 good citizens-not counting | the knockers-and with live merchants,

 Every man, woman or child who has a grievance against or with Colony or any of its people will be urged to at tend this love feast and state the trou- I'ble. Every person who has without cause said anything against Colony and its people will be asked to come into the meeting and receive forgive ness of their sins And after all the kicks have been listed and the "knocks' have been registered, the Rev.

 Thomas told his friends my ears were filled with stories of trouble here and there. Not of the dangerous kind, of
 course but of the kind that deters the
