NEWS IN BRIEF.
Buttonholes of artificial flowers, how so popular in England, are growing larger. As many as 150 violets may go to the making of one “posy.” Five generations of one family live in a cottage at Bebington, near Birkenhead, England. Their ages are 98, 61, 42, 20 years, and 14 months. Men are not accepted as drivers by the London General Omnibus Company until they are 26 years of age, although they, may become conductors two years earlier.
Written in indelible pencil:—“We won the war and saved the British Islands from defeat and extinction. Now, I guess, you buy our oil. Z. Hoppeltlieim.” Above this inscription was an address in California. “I suggest that the League should expend three and sixpence, or thereabouts, on a small volume called ‘The Square Deal,’ by Owen Wister, and send it to the writer of this message,” said the chairman, Mr G. M. Hall. The members of the executive smiled broadly at the incident. “We should not take it too seriously,” said one. “No, Ido not think we are,” rejoined another.
