A Strong Sense of Duty. Only a strong sense of duty couid induce the Duke of Devonshire to ac- cept the position of Governor-General of Canada, for he has nothing left in ed a memorandum on the financial condition of the city of Warsaw, which has been presented to the Ger- man authorities by the City -President, Prince Z. Lubomirski.

That he was able to discharge these duties without making enemies or losing friends is sufficient testimonial to hie tact, and it must be due largely to this quality that he is, with Lord Derby, the closest personal friend of King George. But it was in his r,ela- tioirs with his late uncle, the eighth Duke, that this characteristic shone most brightly, and in especially trying circumstances. - A Difficult Situation. By the will of .his grandfather, the seventh Duke, Lord Victor Cavendish, as he was then, received all the pro- perty not entailed, family jewels,. laces, and other valuable possessions ; hands of the Germans, about $24,000 a month was being spent by the city on the free feeding of the population; by March, 1916, this iters of expendi- ture had risen to $255,000.

Girdles and • sashes are another means of intraucing a bit of color contrast. These girdles and sashes are offered in great variety in the shops and belts are once more corer- ing into favor. With the trim tail- ored dress of serge or linen, the narrow, fiat sash encircling the waist, crossing in back and tying in front or at the side front, in a loose knot, is a great favorite, These sashes are usually made of the same material as the dress, or of satin. Ends are finished with a tassel or a bead de- sign. For lingerie frocks and dance dresses the whle ribbon girdle or the silk or satin sash is modish. Dresd- en ribbons, with the design worked out in metallic threads, are worn con- siderably with dance and evening dresses. The strietly tailored suit is com- pleted with a narrow leather belt, or a stitched belt of the material. Buttons and buckles must not be forgotten in the summer scheme, for they are becoming daily more and. more important.
