WEARING OF SHAMROCK
A DARING DEED IN IRELAND. j The wearing of sh'amrock in London on St. Patrick's Day seems to he declining every year, although there are more Irish dinners than ever, says the Manchester Guardian. Mr. Dulanty the Free State High Commissioner, however, is said to have dined at at least four of them on St. Patrick's night, as befitted the most * popular Ii'ishman in town. j One explanation why there are few- ' ed shamrocks to be seen in the streets • is offered by a correspondent who went into a famous Irish tavern in Fleet Street and asked why there were no bowls of shamrocks o.n the bar. The harman replied that the dis. : tillers were not sending any more shamrocks over now. That was had enough, said the correspondent, but, to make it worse, the man, with a good Irish accent, was wearing a red rose in his coat. To wear a red rose in your buttonhole behind the har in an Inish tavern on the 17th of March is siu'ely one of the most daring deeds ever done on St. Patrick's Day.
