Luxurious Isolation Boarce.
It is easy to imagine the Hono lulu, scandals and the tourist boom which provoked them have killed whatever attraction Tahiti ones had for painters or writers seeking a luxurious isolation.
Horo and there in the South Pacific there are doubtless lovely islands which have escaped the at tention of the organisers of world cruises and the promoters of Pro- hibitionless bench resorts, And until recently, in the Dutch Bast Indies, the chanting island of Bali remained one of the solo un- defiled centres of a unique natural beauty and an antique and gracious, civilisation.
