POLITE TO STRANGERS

In these times of war Londoners naturally consider it a portion of their hospitable duty to be as polite as pos sible 10 the strangers within our gates who are also our allies, and occasion ally one comes across quaint incl dents that occur when kind hearted old ladies and gentlemen of desperately in sular habits are doing their best to be friendly I was coming along Pic cadilly in bus recently when two ex- ceedingly handsome men got in. They were both in civilian clothes, but it was easy enough to see that they were soldiers and also, to my eye at least. they proclaimed themselves to be serbs One of them could talk French indifferently, the other evil dently had no language except his own to fall back upon. They had both learned the name of their destination, however and they said to the con ductor, like duet. "Victoria" As the bus was not going toward this rail- way station the conductor shook his head and tried to explain in very loud voice with wonderful Cockney accent that they were on the wrong route, Of course, they could not un- derstand and simply looked bewild- cred, Whereupon an old gentleman with spectacles, who had probably learned French in the far-off days of his youth. stepped gallantly to the rescue and began long explanation of how they ought to proceed in order to gain the place that they sought. The poor things became more and more be- wildered as the old gentleman with his bad French and the conductor with his queer English tried to outdo each other in their vociferous directions. They could understand neither and were getting further and further away from where they wanted to go at every revolution of the wheels. Finally gleam of intelligence came through the murky clouds which were surrounding them. The old gentleman told them the number of the bus that it would be necessary for them to take. They sprang to their feet, took off their hats and bowed, their dark eyes and White teeth gleaming with friendly thanktulness But the old gentleman was not going to let them off so cas- fly. He put a restraining hand on the shoulder of the one who had under
 stood his French. "Vous etcz de Buda
 Pesth?" he enquired "C'est une tres
 belle ville." The two Servians drew themselves up to the full magnificence
 of their height, and the one who spoke French angrily shook off the kind hand or the benevolent old gentleman. A"Par- don, monsieur" he said with a voice that had the sharpness of razor. Nous sommes Serbes nous ne somme pasd Autriche.' And if looks could have killed. that old gentleman would have been dead. Then there was a great splutter of sound and fury in what l presume was Servian, and they
 both alighted from the bus and in-
 stantly got into another one which would never in the world land them at
 Victoria. How they got I am most curious to know. They may still be careering round London in search of

A Campaign for Health
From Leslie's.

' D.
 Health! The biggest enterprise pro- jected for the prevention of disease Is the institute of hygiene and public health to be established by the Rockefeller foundation in connection with the Johns Hopkins university at Baltimore. It IS intended that the new institute shall make al notable and original a contribu- tion to humanity a S the now world fa- nous Rockefeller Institute for Medical research has made in it's field. The cam paign of the foundation against the hook worm disease, and more recently the battle of the American Red Cross with typhus in Servia, have convinced the d- rectors of the foundation that what the world needs is men scientifically trained for the promotion of public health, sani- tation and preventive measures generally. The director of the institute is to be Dr. William H. Welch professor of pathology at Johns Hopkins university, and all the facilities of this great uni versity and the Johns Hopkins hospital will be at the disposal of the new school.

Every city and state which have hereto
 fore found difficulty in securing health officials adequately equipped for the ad- ministration of scientific sanitation will
 be benefited by the new institute. The Rockefeller foundation is to be com- mended for it's original and far-seeing contribution to the public health, espe- cially in the present investigation of the causes of infantile paralysis, the results of which will be shared by all the world.

DUKE OF MANCHESTER

And speaking of dukes reminds me that his grace of Manchester was also at the theatre on this same evening. He was in the stalls and his hair, which is TOW much more gray than the Dutches Of Marlboroughs was plastered well back from his sunburned brow. He was ac- companied by a black haired damsel wearing a cloak of rose pink silk with an enormously high collar in the shadow of which her features were almost lost to view.

From the Toronto Globe.
 It was their honeymoon trip to London, and the first time they had ever been out of Lanca shire.
 As they waited on the platform at St. Pancras for the guard to bundle their boxes out of the van the young bride and bridegroom were manifestly embar- rassed.
 Then an inside porter came up and asked
 "Can look after yer baggage for yer, mister?"
 The red blood mounted to the young brides cheeks and, turning to her hubby, she demanded:

FAsHIoNABLEs TO IRELAND

 them being that very popular lady, the

 She is an ardent theatregoer and | be-

 houses where 1t Is permitted during the performance of revues or music hall p1 ogrammes and at theatres where smok- ing Is not allowed, in the auditorium she invariably goes out between the acts either to the anteroom adjoining a box or to the foyer and has her cigarette with the rest of the crowd.

Of course, the great Vanderbilt pearls hung as usual round her long, slim throat, and l noticed a big emerald brooch clasping the lace on her corsage. Otherwise, she was wearing no ornaments, and even her hands were rfngIess with the exception of the neces- sary slim gold band on her wedding finger Both the Marquis of Blandford and his younger brother were in multi.

At any rate, London girls are theatre-mad just now, and are not dress ing any more than is absolutely neces- sary.
 LATEST FAD
 The latest fad for the wartime English bride IS to wear bracelet composed of orange blossoms around the left arm apove the elbow. I saw one of these pretty ornaments at military wedding the other day, and the effect was partic uIariy good. Instead of the usual orange blossom wreath the brides tulle veil was held in place by fillet of silver held on either side above the ears by tiny punches of orange blossoms. The orange pIossom bracelet she wore outside the transparent lace sleeve that was elapsed al the wrist with a narrow band of silver It struck me as a novelty and rather a good one

Baron Montagu. c. G. Grey, editor
of The Aeroplane. gives the following
description Of this new aerial de

These small fighting machines are

Mr.. Grey concludes as follows:
The improvement in the British
aeroplanes may eventually have a
considerable effect on the air de-
lenses of this country, for the inn
provement in aeroplanes must neces-
sarlly be more rapid than the i'm
provement in airships, and conse-
quently it Is quite probable that new
types of destroyer aeroplanes may
be produced which will make it al
most impossible for airships to get
away from this country. if they ever
reach it. Improvements in climbing
speed. and power Of aeroplanes have
been SO great that they can now rea :
sonably be expected to outclimb an
