the combined states and nations of which the British Sovereign is the head and the relations they hear to each other. Since the wnr and the collapse of Germany, Austria, and Russia. the word Empire has rather fallen into disreprrts. And neirhcr in the strict sense of the word. nor in its common accept- atlon, were the countries over which the British flag floats ever cntltlcd to be called an Empire.

it Is true that since the days of Queen Victoria and Lord Beacons- field British sovereigns have borne the title of Emperor of India. Thst innovation when it first took effect brought about the anomaly of an empire within a kingdom, which called forth some caustic comment at the time. But calling India an ‘empire and making the British sov- creign its emperor in no way changed the status of the United Kingdom, or of the other British

The days were just cool enough for the exertion of tranrping through woods and lanes, and "tramps" are quite popular, many of the younger people, and older ones, too, going far into the country. taking with them refresh- ments for a tasty out-door meal. Tho golf links is another ideal spot just now, while the longer drives through Bonshaw and the more wooded sections are a revelation. The exquisite tints of the turning leaves and late autumn weeds scat- tered in careless profusion every- where, gives one a delightful sense of well-being and leaves memories that wlll last to gladdemthe heart for months.
