A cheque for £.5,5s has been received by the Fire Brigade for their recreation fund from Messrs. A. and E. Tingey, in appreciation of the brigade's services at the recent fire in their premises. There is still in force the unwritten law that an officer o£ the Brigade of Guards or the Household Cavalry must resign his commission if he becomes engaged to marry on actress. Mr. Francis Francis, a subaltern of the Royal Horse Guards, has just taken that step—<>r these two steps—engagement and resignation. This ordinance is_ a. relic of the times when the social position of actors and actresses was vastly different from what it has become to-day. Actresses are not infrequently presented at Court, and 'some have access to the Royal enclosure at Ascot.
