KM At nine o'clock each night, the cur few Is rung, In London, Kngbcid, writes a correspondent, ns it has been for .".'Kt years. This oldtime custom is slill n part of the duty of the chief porter of Lincoln's Inn. The bell which is tolled was originally brought from Calais by the ill faled Robert Devereux, earl of Ksscx. in 1"!)C,. It is bung in the old Lincoln's Inn chapel, erected during the reign of .lames I, in the building of which Ben Jonson r:lfi to hove used his I rowel. "At 8:4o each night I light my lantern and proceed to the belfry," said the chief porter who In hi.s modesty wishes to remain nnonynious. "As soon as the hist stroke of nine has sounded I slrike the bell r.O times. Why 00? Well, I don't know, except that it Is the custom. The only time the curfew lias not been sounded in Lincoln's Inn during the past HOO years or so was during the war after the bomb fell In Chancery lane In Oc tober, 1915. I rang the Indl. as usual, at nine o'clock. The bomb fell 2?5 minutes later, shaking the whole place. Some people thought that the curfew was responsible, so It was sus pended until the, night of the armistice." i.Kia uuiiis, Winona Carter, Ramona I Hie Tatting club held its rce-ohr T 7 T ....... i 1 Uf i i . . - I ' . . . .
