It would be a most gracious and
charitable thing for you 70 play

make her seem even more backward
and queer. Your may be able 10
do her a great good and you viii
surely have your reward IN that
thought.

KNIGHTS OF THE CARTER
(San Francisco Argonautl

The Knights of the Garter is the oldest and most envied of all British orders. This order is stated to have been founded somewhere between June A and August 6. 134S. by that fearless and chivalrous monarch, Edward III. Some time before that date Edward went considerable way toward found- ing an Order of the Round Table in commemoration of King Arthur. A round table, some 200 feet in diameter, was constructed at Windsor, and here the knights were entertained at the kings expense. By so doing Edward gathered around him a host of adven- ture-loving spirits, who afterward greatly facilitated his scheme for a, war in France.
