Twenty girls are acting as kennel maids, reports the Daily Mail. Her solicitor, Mr H. R. Oldham, | said at Tisbury, Wiltshire, yesterday: i “It is extremely difficult to control ! these strange young ladies in matters i relating to the black-out.” I It was said that on October 30, 20 j windows in the house were insuffi- ! ciently screened, and that four others • and three skylights were not screened at all. ! The duchess, president of the Animal Defence and Anti-Vivisection Society, was fined £lO for infringing i the regulations. i She expressed regret and said the black-out was now being observed strictly. i Colonel W. Kennedy Shaw, the | chairman, commented: “It is a serious ’ case. The fact that the duchess has I taken on a large number of dogs is not much_of an excuse.” HE FORGOT ABOUT HIS IDEA! !
