"It's only a bit o' green ribbonbut it's for the Belgians!" said a young miss, who was vending the colours of St. Patrick's Day in the street yesterday. The appeal, simple, unaffected, and real, had tlio desired effect, and the man bought knowing he was paying 6(1. for a ha'porth of emerald green ribbon. Significance is added.to the emblem by the printed line: "It's a Long Way to Tipperary"—the song of the First English Army—and the. official stamp of the Hibernian Society.
