As first lord of the admiralty his salary
was $4,000 year. 1t was practically
all he had to go on and he could not af-
ford to leave the admiralty unless some
equally lucrative position were open to
him.
As viceroy Of India he would receive
princely recompense. His salary would
be 100000 year, with special allow
ances of at least 100000 more. He
would be the lord Of three palaces, one
each in Calcutta. Delhi and Simla- 1t 10
the most splendid ofice the British en-
piEe has to offer.
The Indian treasury would pay The
salaries Of his entire stan. Because Of
all this Churchill would be in a position
to save the greater part Of his yearly
emoluments. Further, it would strength

Yet the English are inclined to think
that the advantages will all DO on
Churchill's side and that India would
benefit not at all. Among the English
in India the gossip of his appointment
to the place has actually aroused fears.
The awful native instruction Of 1857

control over himself az Churchill has.

miralty.
Busy as Churchill is with the routine
duties that are still left with him in his
Office and in shaping out his future po-
litical life, he still finds time to go with
his wife to buy her hats. 1t is one of his
idiosyncrasies to think that he knows
more about smart millinery than anyone
else.
In the old days he used to make his
mother wear hats to his fancy. Indeed.
the story goes that one year he sent her
Christmas present of whole box Of
chapeaux, which she promptly returned
to the shop for collection of her own
liking.
But Mrs. Winston, who believes i'm
plicitly that he is the greatest man of this
age or any other, would wear sack.

always had a hand in her wardrobe since
they were engaged, and he even selected
her bridesmaids headgear. What very
unexciting hats they were, but they still

Churchill draws nearly as we'll as he
speaks and writes, and he often says
laughingly that were he not a politician
he would be fashion artist When an
idea strikes him for hat for his wife he
jots 1t down Immediately. Fortunately.
Mrs. Churchill is lovely woman and
can wear anything.
He cannot bear to have Mrs. Churchill
appear In the least conspicuous. Being
an original and exceptionally clever
woman. she has tastes Of her own, but
she never asserts them. In everything
else she can twist him around her little
finger.
