The School Tie A Little Piece of Silk is Sufficient to Alter a Young Man's Life-story. Young Mr. Hubert Jenkina, gentle- man-in-waiting to young Mr. Chris- topher Deane, selected from the bundle of discarded tiee, which hia employer had good-naturedly giv«n to him, one which partjcularly pleased his color- Wving eye.

When ho surveyed himself in the mirror, Hubert nodded to his image there as though saying: "Good! You'll do!" For twenty-four hours or so he was to be. as he put it, "off the leash."

"Nothing odd about that," Aubrey returned. "You're doing it too. Now I'm at a loose end, for my people don't get back from Scotland tiij to-morrow night. If you feel like a gentle binge â€"well, let's get to it." Hubert waa a man of imagination, and his inherent aptitude for living in the high lights liad been repressed by circumstances, so he accepted this op- portunity which his sporting fairies had provided. "I'm on," he answered. "The trouble is, though, that I'm down to about my last half-crown till the guv-nor sees reason. He'd see that if I could get hold of him, but he's out of town." "Never mind," said Aubrey. "I haven't got enough on me to buy a bank, but I've got enough to lay streaks of yermilion paint all the way from Piccadilly Circus to Hyde Park Corner and back. I'll be in the chair to-day, and you can take it some other time." There really should be an asterisk or tv/o here, to indicate, as they say on tiicatre programs, the passing of time. Anyway, we should vision Aub- rey and Hubert going arm-in-arm, to- wards midnight, to Mr. Christopher Deane's fiat in .St. James's. We can vision them, too, as in close comradeship and, figuratively speak- ing, with vine-leaves in their hair. Ixt no carping tongue say that these two wearers of the Roxtonian ties were intoxicated. They were no more than mellow, and when they walked into the flat and Hubert had satisfied himself that Mrs. Howard, the elderly cook-housekeeper was in her room and aSlec-p, he produced a bottle of super- lativoly good cognac, and said: "We'll just have one, Pennyweather, and then I'il have to sling you out.

Why do we pecslst In likening evil and disagreeable people to animals who do not possess their undesirable traits? For Instance: Why is coarse and bolateroue laugh- ter called a "horse laugh?" Horses surely do not Indulge In rudeness. Why Is a crabbed and morose person said to be "as crose as a bear," when a bear Is noted for his rollicking good nature ?
