MADAME TERFREN LAILA HERE
First there was Lord Rothermers who took time-off' fromIX holldaylar to tell the world from Shanghai that Hitler would be making the Russians de right-arm exercises in his honour whilst he gazed upon them from the portico of the Kremlin, and that Japan would come into the war picture to lend a touch of Eas tern pageantry to another Western tragedy-and all within a
year.
Now there comes Madame Terfren Laila, a most impressiva, flashing-eyed Hungarian from Avenue Matignon, Paris, in snowy turban and maiti-hued silken robe, who, from her sitting-room in the Gloucester Hotel informed me yesterday that as she look- ed into the future she could, see:" a war in the West and a war · In the East. This trouble, according to Madame, will commence next year.
There are two features worth noting in this connection.
In the first place, Madame Laila has not met Lord Rothermere, and, therefore, collusion is ruled right out.
Secondly, Madame states on her visiting card that she is "Professeur De Sciences Occultes," and Rother- mere never claimed that distine- tion. However, that great news- paper magnate has had a lot to do with forecasts one way and an- other, but they have been limited to such minot tragedies as success- fully tempting presumably sane men and women to pick the teams of football sides and give the exact score of the victors.

Indeed, taking it all round. Madame Laila's forecasts have been startlingly accurate.
Of course, her father examined her at once. Then, at her mother's suggestion, he made a hurried visit to the uncle's home, and, sure enough, as he entered the room the uncle cried out twice and dropped down dead.
After that Lalla's father took her to a brain 'specialist in Berlin, and to several other people of famed
