There were smiles of 'wild en- thusiasm in Hyde Park on Nov. 23, during the King's review of the "Silver 1 edge" men ---those who have served in the forces and since have been discharged on account of wounds, or other physical disabilities, says a London despatch.

Versailles, or rather the palace there, has played an important part in the histories of France, Germany, Great Britain and the United States. In 1783 the armistice preliminary to the treaty of peace between Great Britain and the United States wab signed at Versailles. Six years later the pfilace was the scene of import- ant nsportant events in the, French Revolution. The German army ,besieging -' Paris nee had its headquarters in the town in 1870-71, and there the negotiations between France and Germany were discussed. After the peace Versailles was the seat of the French National Assembly and for a few years there- after was the 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, ware planned by LeNotre. All esti- mates of the money expended • on the buildings and gardens are vague, but some experts estimate that more than $100,000,006 were spent by Louis XIV. who destroyed the ac- 9 counts. -• In the French Revolution Louis XIV, an - Marie Antoinette were forcibly removed to Paris after which the furniture was destroyed. Napoleon and the kings during the restoration barely kept the place in repair, but Louis Philippe restored the palace and made it a museum of works of art illustrative of the his- tory of France at a cost of nearly $5,000,000. 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- dently with no intention of making a purchase. "Won't you buy a cigarette hold- er?" said she, detaining him. "No, thanlcs! I don't smokes" "Ora pen -wiper, embroidered by me?" "I don't write." "Then do have this nice box of chocolates ?" "1 .don't eat sweets," Her patience was exhausted. Roll- ing out a calve of soap, she cried: lk • "Won't you buy this?" "1 doii't---" But this time Percy made the per•' slsas
