There wen U4M1e3 of wild en- thusiasm in Hyde Park on Nov, M. during the Ring's review of the "Silver Badge" men-thoee who have served in the forces end since have been discharged on account of wounds or other physical disabilities, says a London despatch. As King George,. with the Prince of Wales, the Dulce of Connabght, Gen. Sir William R. Robertson, commander of the forces in Great Britain, and the staff Mil- cers rode. past the lines, the men forming three sides of the square, there were reckless demonstrations of loyalty. When the Ring reached the third section the men suddenly broke ranks and crowded about him, grasping his hands. Others sur- rounded the Prince of Walee and the Duke of Connaught and shook hands heartily with them. Shook Hands With Queen. In the meantime another crowd of' tho discharged soldiers gathered around the carriage in which were the Queen Mother Alexandra and the Princess Victoria.: The men climbed onto the footboard and the hack of the vehicle in their eagerness to shake hands with the royal ladies. "teed bless you, dear boys," exclaimed the Queen Mother as she shook hands with as many men as she could. An attempt was made to take the horses from the carriage so that the men might 'pull it themselves, but officers and mounted police persuaded them to fall into line again. The Ring them rode to tile saluting base and the men marched by. In his address to the men the Ring said: "I am glad to have met you to -day and to pave looked into the faces of those who, for the defence of home and the Empire, were ready to give up their all rind have sacri- ficed their limbs, sight, hearing and health.

That you may live long and enjoy with happi- ness the peace which you have so hardly won is the most earnest wish of my heart." HISTORIC VERSAILLES ' - Palace of Louis XIV. and Its Gardens Are Great Attrzrction. Versailles, or rather the palace there, has playact an important part in the histories of France, Germany, Great Britain and the United States. In 1788 the armistice' preliminary to the treaty of peace between Great Britain and the 'United States was signed at Versailles. Six years later the palace was the scene of import- ant events in the French Revolution. The German army besieging Paris had its headquarters in the town in 1870-71, and there the negotiatione between France and Gennany even discuesed. After the Peace Versailles was the seet of the French National Assembly and for a few years there- after was tha official capital of France. The town of Versailles, which is twelve miles west -south-west of Paris, is not attractive in itself; but the presence there of the palace built by Louis XIV. and its proximity to the capital attract many residents. The palace at Versailles was begun in 1661 and the gardens which, with the fountains and water works, are one of the glories of the palace, were planned by LeNotre. All esti- mates of the money expended on the buildings and gardens an vague, but eonto experts estimate that moro than $100,000,000 wore', spent by Louis XIV, who destroyed the ac- counts. In the French Revolution Louis XIV, and Marie Antoinette were forcibly removed to Paris after which the furniture was destroyed. - Napoleon and the kings during the restoration barely kart the place in a repair, but Louis Philippe restored the palace anti made it a nnisettin of works of art illustrative of the his- to-ry of Femme at a cost of nearly $7,000,000. The Saving Grace. Everything was going swimmingly at the Red Cross bazaar, when Percy, pink socks and all, swaggered past the sweet young thing's stall, evi- clently with no intention of making a purchaze, "Won't you buy a cigarette hold- er?" said she, detaining him. "No, thanks! I don't smolcel" "Or a pon-wiper, embroidered by me?" "T don't write," "Then -do have this Tlloe box of chocolates?" "I don't est sweets." Her patience was exhausted. Hold- ing out a cake of soap, alio cried: "Won't you buy this?" But this time Percy made the put. chase.
