The Queen is taking great interest in " The BUnded Soldiers' 
and Sailors' Gift Book " which Messrs. Jarrold & Sons 
are publishing ; many of our leading writers and artists 
have contributed to it ; it will cost 3s., and all the profits 
are to go to St. Dunstan's, Regent's Park, for Mr. Arthur 
Pearson's School for the Blind, where already several 
men who have lost their sight in the war have received 
such an excellent training that they are now able to leave 
and earn a living for themselves. 
Prince Alexander of Teck, who has been at the front for many 
months, has issued an appeal on behalf of the Imperial 
Service College, at Windsor. Here a public school 
education is provided for the sons of officers at the 
lowest cost possible. Naturally the demands on the 
Board of Governors, of which Prince Alexander is th: 
Chairman, have been greatly increased. It is to be 
hoped this appeal will receive generous support. 
was conferred on Charles Noel Lord Barham in 1841, 
Dut this was a second creation, the original earldom of 
Gainsborough having been given by Charles II. in 1682 
to Edward Noel, eldest son of that Viscount Campden 
who suffered so grievously in the Royalist cause. This 
dignity expired on the death of the sixth earl in 1798. 
Sir Bickham Sweet-Escott, Governor of Fiji, and Lady Sweet- 
Escott are now in England on short leave. Their holi- 
day has been saddened by the loss of their youngest 
son who has fallen in action in France. Sir Bickham 
who is a younger brother of Mr. T. H. S. Escott, has 
had an exceptional experience of the remoter parts of 
the Empire, having in the last dozen years been Governor 
of the Seychelles, the Leeward Islands and British 
Honduras, as well as of Fiji. He was educated at Balliol 
and started his Colonial career as a Professor in the 
Royal College of Mauritius. 
Lord and Lady Yarborough are returning to their house in 
Arlington Street, which has been let for many years past 
to Mr. Gordon Selfridge. 
Lord Campden 's engagement with Ahce Mary, eldest daughter 
of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Eyre, of i Belgrave Place, is 
one of the more important forthcoming marriages recently 
announced. Lord Campden, who is in his thirty-second 
year, is now a Captain in the 5th Gloucestershire regi- 
ment, but he has been in the Diplomatic Service. The 
present earldom of Gainsborough, to which he is heir, 
Italian Flag Day was a great success ; most of the West-End 
Clubs flew Italian flags, and everybody in the restaurants 
wore one. At the Carlton, where I lunched that day 
and which was as full as ever, the orchestra played a 
splendid selection of patriotic ItaUan music. One of 
the chief organisers of this excellent commemoration 
day was Cavaliere Casali, manager of the Piccadilly 
Hotel, where the Committee had its headquarters. 
The new Bill governing Clubs will be public property before
