Many English ladies received the accolade, and many more were members of such knightly orders as the Garter and St. ‘When Mary Cholmondeley, “the bold lady of Cheshire,” was | knighted by Elizabeth for “her val- iant address” on the Queen taking command at the threatened invasion by Spain, did she know that a whole city of Spanish women, the gallant women of Tortosa, had been knight- the Moors? Mary and Elizabeth had both been knighted at their coronation, but by the time Anne, the second Mary, and” Victoria ascended the throne it had been quite forgotten that, accord- ing to English law and use, a woman who filled a man’s office acquired all its privileges and was immune from none of its dutfes.

Marshall had a pretty talent for mix- Ing salads, and one evening at the Sheridan club, as his friends dropped In to dine, they noticed him preparing one of the deliclous salads of which he alone seemed to know the secret. Immediately there were cries of “Frank, make me one at_the same time;” and “Oh, Frank, make enough for me, too,” and, beaming with satis- faction at the compliment to-his skill, Frank called for more lettuces, chives, tarragon and other ingredients. And when he had chopped up his herbs juto minute fragments and- mixed his salad in his own way everyone was delighted. A few more neighbors begged for stray leaves, and finally one enthusi- sstlc gourmand wiped the bowl round with a ball of bread, and turned up his eyes in ecstasy as he gulped down the savory morsel. But the face of the founder of,the feast wore a troubled expression. “What's the matter, Frank, asked one of bis friends. “Oh, nothing,” replied Frank, peer- Jng round the polished bowl, “only— only I seem to have lost my finger stalll” Do You Know?
