T‘hc wearing of uniform would abolish what is now an invidious and a. senseless distinction between the commissioned and the non-commis- sioned man. Reduce the_ matter to its lowest possible termsv leave the honour of a glorious profession en- tirely out of the question for the time being. and we find that' both are mi] servants of His Majzsty. \Vhy should the one be compelled to wear the garb of his service during?: his ev- hery-dug' life. v.1“: the other is al- It would be“ welcome Sign that {1110 British officer had ceased tolook upon the Army as a genilemanly oc- cupation, and had come to regard it as He would live physically in his uni~ form, just as, mentally, he ought to live in his exalted calling. This may not Eecm to amount to much, but mmember that naval and mili- tary officers are human, and thatithe force of visible association is avery potent force with all of us. \ViL‘h us it is {not the officer who is‘ saluted. it is the uniform. On the Continent it is both. for the!\ man and his uniform are one. Once a soldier always a soldier, is [he rule from‘ end to end of Europe. “Why should. it not be so in this why? to mufti :30 that the men of his own regiment may pass him by in the .strregt» without (saluting. It cannot. of course, 3 that the British officer holds His Mljzsty's uniform in anything but] honor, though his European broth-er-inâ€"arms sometimes thinks differentlyz It :would rather seem to be partly the result of a pernicious tradition, and .partly 'ornthat amateurism which so deplorably interferes with the effi- ciency of our Army in the field. The fact is, that the average British, officer does not take his profession serioust save when on duty, and therefore the moment his profession- al duties are over he makes haste to return to civilian life. He has, apâ€" parently‘ a rooted objection to be- ing recognized by the Man in the Street as a bearer of His Majesty’s commission, and he likes to get inâ€" But is an officer ever really “off duty"? In the other armies of the civilized world they do not think so. The uniforn of the Kaiser and the Tsar, of the French Republic and the Emperor of Austria, is not slighted in this way. In all European ser- vices it is a military offence for an officer to appear in public, save by special permission and when unoffi- cially visiting foreign countries, without his uniform, and even if this .were not the case, no European of- ficer dare brave the ridicule and con- tempt with which his comrades would visit such an insult to his country. } They are never off duty. They are Soldiers from the moment they enter the army till the hour in which they leave it. To them their uniform is a great deal more than a mere suit of more or less gorgeous clothes: It; is! the outward and visible sign of the fact that they have devoted their lives and energies to the service of their country, and the wearing of it is to them not only a duty, BUI‘ AN HONOR. I Why does not the British officer think the liaime of the King’s uniform? Why is it to him merely a. livery of Service, to be worn, as a footman wears his livery, only when he is di- rectly serving his master Fu2rther, (me might ask, without impertin‘ence, why the private soldier and the non- commissioned officer is compelled to :wear His Mlajesty’s uniform both on and off duty, while those who hold his commission are permitted to get rid of it, as though it; were something irksome and disagreeable. at the earliest possible momentâ€"just as the footman does with his livery?

The Servants Do Well Out of a. Court Dinner. A Court dinner in Germany is a most elaborate affair. A high ser- vant has admitted that nothing save the linen, plate, china, and glam is ever served twice at Court tables: Thus bottles of wine that have been Sent up and not unoorked, huge pieces of meat, game, poultry, and sweets in profusion are of necessity left over. These become the per- quisites of the servants”, who, as can be well imagined, do very well out of a Court dinner. The Kaiser has made it a new‘ fash- ion in Germany for host and hostess to sit side by side half-way! down the table. and no: at each end as here. The guests are supposed to arrive at least twenty minutes before the din- ner is served.
