The beautiful grounds of Buck- ingham Palace, where there was a Royal garden party recently. may be said to have originated in an experiment of a former King for the promotion c-f home industries. James ‘f. deciding we ought to mnke our own silk, bought four acres of land on the outskirts of London which he planted with mulberry trees. ‘esigned to supply food for silkworms. which in turn, would provide material for the Spiral- flelds silk weavers. Unfortunately he planted the wrong species of tree and the experiment, failed, His successor, Charles I, leased the ground to Lord Aston, who tum- ed it into a public pleasure gar- den. On the sife of the old Mul- berry Garden, of no very good repute, George Goring built later gave place to Buckingham hlau. Some of the mulberry trees in the palace grounds are reputed to be descended from those planted by the well-meaning but ill-advised British monarch,

—7HE WOMAN'S REALM-

IAN! WOMIN LAOI PIOPII MANN!!!

With all the effort women have made to be "just as good as men" in one field of endeavour after another it seems they have over- looked one bet, says a woman com- mentator. They haven't even tried to compete with men in the mot- ter of public good manners.

They make more noise in public than do men.

They cause more commotion in restaurants, taking longer to dc- cide what they will eat. then often changing their minds and their orders etc. And for this extra trouble, th‘ey leave smaller tips than do men.

They sit in waiting rooms, hotel lobbies, and all such public places and stare with hard. appraising eyes at every other woman who passes.

They repeat gossip and discuss intimate family affairs in voices shrill enough to be overheard.

They haven't, men's knack for being friendly and at the same time impersonal with strangers. Instead they either appear aloof and stand- offish or entirely too quick to be- come confidential on short acquain- lance.

All too often they accept men's courtesies without thanks, appar- ently assuming that having Joors held open for them l-s their natural right.

It just hasn't seemed to occur to women that when it comes to public politeness men are 'way ahead of them, and that here VaOllld be a fine place to start showing the world they are "just as good as men."

"Oh, yes sir," replied the boy.

"I felt this witness had been‘ tampered with," he snapped.

The Judge turned to the boy.

"Will you tell me," he said, "who told you what 0o say?"
