office  orders,  to  be  obtained  at  any  of  the  principal  post  offices  throughout  the  kingdom,  and  made- 
payable  to  him  at  the  Vere  Street  Office,  London,  W.;  but  any  cheque  on  a banker’s  or  any 
■ other  house  of  business  in  London  will  be  equally  available,  if  made  payable  on  demand.  In 
obtaining  post-office  orders  care  should  be  taken  to  give  the  postmaster  the  correct  initials 
and  surname  of  the  Secretary  of  the  Society  (H.  M.  Jenkins),  otherwise  the  payment

certain  number  of  days  after  date),  and  should  be  drawn  on  a London  (not  on  a local  country) 
banker.  When  payment  is  made  to  the  London  aud  Westminster  Bank,  St.  James’s  Square
