KING TAKES PART
IN ANCIENT RITES
London Pays Rent With Bundle of
Faggots and "The Forge"
With Horseshoes.

BY Cable 10 The Star and Chicago Daily News.
LONDON, November s.-Two pictur-
esque ceremonies which carry the
mind back into the Middle Ages were
performed at the Law Courts when
quit rents were rendered up TO King
George with all TIE colorful cere-
monial which they gathered III by
gone centuries.
With a blow from a hatchet, the
city solicitor cut bundle of faggots
into hundred pieces in the Law
Courts. The fragments were eagerly
gathered by the few people present
as souvenirs of one of the most in
teresting ceremonies which has sur
vived the change of years.
Although .the annual rendering Of
quit rent services to the crown by
the Corporation of the City of London
was performed in a court housed in
a temporary wooden structure, the
ceremony in essence is as picturesque
as it was 200 years ago. The ancie Mt
City of London, be it remembered
still is governed under a charter
granted by William the Conqueror
The Kings remembrance Sir T
Willes Chitty, explained to those pres
ent the meaning of the ancient rent
service, recalling how hundreds ot
years ago rent was paid in services Of
KIND
Even more interesting was a second
service in respect to a tenement call
ed The Forge" The original grant
of the forge was made TO Walter lie
Brun, u farrier in the Strand, who
was to have piece of ground in the
parish of st. Clement Danes on which
TO carry out his work, giving in pay
ment six horseshoes
The horseshoes, which have now
again been placed with great solem
nifty on the table in the Law Courts
hard by the spot where the ancien,
forge stood, are believed to be those
used for the big Flemish horses en-.
ployed in England seven centuries
ago.
The city solicitor gravely counted
the shoes, and then proceeded tc
count the 81 nails belonging to them
Why the city pays rent no one
knows" the Kings remembrancer OBJ,
served in concluding the ancient ant
annual ceremonies.

IRISH OFFICIAL is HEIR
OF FRIEND HE DOOMED
Minister of Justice O'Higgins Re-
fused to Grant Reprieve to
Rory O'Connor.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press
DUBLIN, October 21.-When Rory
OConnor was condemned to death
and later shot in December 1922, for
completely in the four courts coup in
Dublin, Free State Minister of Justice
OHiggins, who ordered his execu-
tion, had to choose between friend
ship and duty, it was learn ed recently.
OConnor was a close friend of Mr..
O'Higgins and had acted as his best
man at the iatter's wedding only
six months before the sentence of
death was pa :sed. Mr.. .O'Higgins,
although every effort was made to
have him agree to save his friend, re-
fused to grant reprieve.
The agonizing struggle between
duty and friendship completely over

most dramatic feature of all was
when, the dead mans will was open

MIDDINETTE'S CRAFT
WINS HONOR PLACE
Marcelle Guillon's Art Put on Ex.
hib.ticn in Paris
I City Hall.

BY Cable to The Star and New York World.
Copyright, 1924.
PARIS, November s.-Every one has
heard of the Paris "middinettes," the
young girls who fill the streets of
center of Paris at noon, pouring gaily
out from the stores, the DIRE Smak-
ing establishments and offices. To
the stranger they look all much alike
graceful little persons, with quick
gestures and hiCh but not sharp
voice. But theirs is world filed
with distinctions. 1t is also serious
hard working world, in which the
principal elements are severe compe-
tition and small pay.
Many of the middinettes, as they
hurry along to their luncheon, show
where they came from by a stray
piece Of thread that has not been
brushed off. They are from the
dressmaking shops that create the
fashions for the world. The experts
are called first hands, and the rest
little hand" A premier main" is
an accomplished dressmaker, though
she does not get the credit personally.
The shop takes the credit.
1t occurred to some one to give a
prize for the premier MAINS" a
competition took place in which the
first hand !" of all the well known
establishments competed, and the
prize was won by Marcelle Guillon.

adjustments, the name Of which has
never been announced in connection
with the competition. The dress she
made hangs in the City Hall, and the
honor has gone to Marcelle Guillon
herself, and not to the establishment.
Marcelle is an average little Parish
enne, petite and mice looking" Like
most of these little middinettes she is
also a young lady who minds her own
business and is just as self-re pecting
as any other serious, hard orking
girl, whether she is making the key

skyscraper or working her fast little
fingers in French dressmaking
establishment. She has never been in
any of these all-night places which
all American visitors to Paris believe
they must see at least once, to "see
Partisan life" 1t would not be
serious to go to such a place. 1t
would al-o injure ones chances of
marrying well. She is now 25. She
has been working 10 years. and she is
engaged to young man who is
proud to know that his fiancee Is the
