Mr. Cosgrave Lies Low
There has been a noticeable lack of reference to Mr. Cosgrave in the news from the Irish Free State of late, If the ex-President of the Executive Council appears to have been emulating Brer Rab- bit "It certainly should not be assured that he has lost interest in the fortunes of his party, still less of Ireland.
Mr. Cosgrave is too courageous and tenacious a personality to follow this course. He is watching events closely and biding his time. That he is doing so with an easy

One member of the club says that he is now so dubious as to the permissibility of smoking in any given portion of the club that generally he hesitates to put the matter to the test.
