LEARNED TAILORING
BRITISH PEER’S REMINISCENCES. SENT to SCHOOL IN HIS VILLAGE. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, Nov. 11. When Lord Marks was a small boy he walked daily from his native village, Eltham, to Woolwich and back, a distance of six miles, to attend school. Later he went to college, became a member of the House of Commons, and then a peer. ‘ When opening a bazaar at Eltham he recalled that at the age of 13 years he went to a class in the village school where a man taught children tailoring and shoemaking to keep them out of mischief. “I distinctly remember making a pair of serge trousers,” he said, “and I am sure I could still make a buttonhole.”
