OF BEAUTY
IN
A REVOLUTION started recently in the Women's Lengite of Health and Beauty, whose vice-chairman is Miss Prunella Stack-recently married to Lord David Douglas-Hamilton.
The League ceased to be a privately-owned concern and was registered as a friendly society.
At the same time Mies Peggy St. Lo began a process of taking over many of the duiles of Lady David Dougins-Hamilton, who realises, now that she is married, that she cannot carry the whole burden of the League's expansion.
For plans arc now being siders it would not be in the interests drawn up to make the Lengue a of the league if she tried to do every-

Hush, The Rhinoceros, Is Dead
Hush, the Nepal rhinoceros, died recently, and the London Zoo has lost an animal which it will be difficult to replace.
About seven years ago Nepal sent as a gift to King George V, a pair of young rhinoceroses. King George presented them to the Zoo and they were given the nunes of Hush and 18h.
They were highly popular because they were unusually friendly, and any visitors were tempted into the enclosure with them.
When they grew up this friend- iness disappeared and they became as untrustworthy as any other rhino-
ecroy.
A year or two ngo they were mov- to Whipsnade, where they had a furge paddock and a pond.
Some time ago Hush developed tog trouble and was brought to London. for treatment.
Hush will remain alone of Whip- snade-unless Nepal sends him on- other mate.
