THE GREAT KHAKI QUESTION.
The advocates for Introducing khaki for full dress and walking; out are giving their views lr. various quarters. Here is one quoted by the London "Evening Standard":— "Sir. —I don't hold with the red tunic for walking out, and my girl saya so, too: there's no privacy like about it. Why, the other night I nearly eat down oa an Australian, not seeing him or his girl either, a Wack maybe. Xow, if he had been in scarlet I'd have seen him a mile off, and so 'ud the park keeper. What I seg is when your out .with your girl you wants to be camerflagged, and not blazing so as all the world wonders."
