BIT BROTHERS, 14 Warrea Street, New York AVJTla) Winston Churchill's recent breakdown In a speech In Parliament recalls to the English press a similar lapse ot memory on the part ot a member named Shell, In the house of commons. Shell was commencing a carefully prepared sen tence with the word "Necessity," when his memory deserted him. He repeated "Necessity" three times, and then Blr Robert Peel mischievously added: "Is not always the mother of Invention." James McNeil Whlrtler was extrava gantly fond of a French poodle that he owned, and once, when the animal had throat trouble, its owner had the auda city to send for 8ir Morell Mackenzie, the great throat specialist. Mackenzie was not a bit pleased at being called to treat a dog, but he prescribed, and got partial revenge by charging a big fee. He still further "got even" the next day by sending for Whistler to come to nun Immediately. The artist, thinking he was summoned on some matter connected with his beloved dog, dropped his work and rushed like the wind to Mackenzie's. On his arrival, Blr Moreil said, gravely: "How do you do, Mr. Whistler? I wanted to see you about having my front J cut p. .ottd." a
