NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1926. " DOINGS IN FOREIGN CAPITALS =——=LONDON=—= Twin-daughters of London Social Family are Working as Manne- quins. London, Dec. 4—Working in turns, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon, the Honorable Margaret and Honorable Ali- son Hore-Ruthven, twin daughters of Lord Ruthven, are acting as society mannequins in a West End store. The twins are well-known in £ociety and are so much alike that even their own friends hardly know them whe part. As they dress exactly alike, even down to the minutest de- tail, the "Ruthven twins” have a good deal of fun. The store authorities do not know which one works in the morning and which in the after- noon. They make no complaint about it, however, as the young women are quite effi- cient and possess ldeal figures for showing off _modern gowns. 350,000 NEW WOMEN VOTERS. : new regi of voters to be publis shortly. will show a further increase of - 000 in the number of women voters. This will bring their total to about ten million, as against 13 million men voter: The Conservative party has made plans to canvass this increcased number of women vot- ors through women speakers and workers. These will he coached in a special series of political correspondence courses. The courses will include such subjects as Empire develop- ment, socialism, trade unionism, economi and the British constitution TAKES INTEREST IN WALES' HOME. % Queen Mary is taking motherly interest in the Prince of Wales' new London home. Aft- er making a tour of inspection of Mariborough House “to see that everything was just right” she announced herself completely satisfied. The Prince does not plan to move into his new residence until ater the first of the year. The entire lighting system is being remodeled. OLAF EXPERT YACHTSM! Prince Olaf of Norway, who has been visit- ing his mother in London, is one of the most intrepid yatchsmen among the younger rogalty of Furope. At the Cowes regatta this year he salled his six-meter boat “Oslo” in nearly all of the events of the class and won on several occasions. The “Oslo” came to England on the deck of a Norwegian tramp steamer and was put overboard at the mouth of the Medina river, Prince Olaf personally superintended the stepping of the mast and rigging and even took a paint brush and helped his crew paint the hull. : PROFIT BY ONE-WAY TRAFTIC. One-way traffic is a boon to London taxicab drivers, whose fares already are the highest in Western Europe. The one-way circle around Trafalgar Square is a quarter of a mile, which means an extra three pence on the meter. Piccadilly Circus, being smaller, means little more money to the taxt driver than before the introduction of the one-way system, but larger intersections of streets, such as Parllament Square, Hyde Park Corner and the great plaza in front gf Buck- ingham. palace mak riding more costly. London taxi meters start at a shilling, and after the first mile increase three pence for each quarter mile. CHIMNEY SWEEPS COMPLAIN. London chimney sweeps. whose grimy faces and waliling cries give a Dickens touch to the British capital, complain that the prolonged coal strike almost ruined their profession With little coal to burn, the million chim- neys that twist their necks above London's low sky I{ne have not been clogged with soot. Tn vain a. chimney sweeps tramp their routes and shout their prowess. “But the worst is in store for us,” an tdle sweep volunteered. 'Our busiest time is in the spring and early summer, when the soot of the previous winter has to be cleaned away. This winter there fsn’t any soot, and next summer we shall have nothing to do.” ALWA HAS AN ANSWER.
