ANGRY LOVER'S LETTER LEADS TO DISCOVERY.

Ai Italy has lately been ringing with the story of how Donna Franca Florio,

famous beauty dad a lady-in-waiting to Quem Elena, was robbed of her jewels worth four million lige. Her husband. Baron Florio, is one of the wealthiest mon in Italy, possessing the Sicilian! vineyard which produces the Marsala Florio."

Donna Franca, made the unpleasant disecvery of her loss on returning to her hotel at Viareggio from the Kursall in the early hours of the morning on November 4th. The thieves had also entered the adjoining room occupied by 1tes Chapman, daughter of Major Percy Chapman, formerly Codsul-General Florence, and had carried off most of her valuables. The flair was shrouded in mystery, as doors were found locked and windows closed as usual, but suspicion fell upon two young men of smart appearance and dubious nationality who had been staying in the hotel and vanished upon the night of the robbery.

It is a matter of some interest that most old men are enthusiastic politicians. This inclination to be excited Is noriast, and healthy, one which is denied at peril.

The dictum "Never retire" is justified on this showing. It need not, however, be interpreted too literalls. It is not retire- ment which matters, but the loss of in- terest in life which is so often consequent

on

this step.

Abotter way of putting it, would be: Never retire unless you have a real, big interest to retire towards. If that exists leaving an occupation does not matter But the second interest must be not less absorbing than the first. It must be a hobby or pursuit which has been "knocking at the mind" for many a year.

What is usually fatal is the process known as taking up some interest in

People, on the other hand, who have been amateur politicians all their lives and who finally retire in order to go into Parliament grow younger and stronger in the process. They have added to their interest and "so to their physical activity. Life is being lived on a higher plane.

One could not help thinking that the country had gone extraordinarily wild and wrong. Really and truly, it was one form of national insanity

No one could deny the extraordinarily sordid motives of ever so much of our recreation. In many departments of re creation, in the background of it all, there was a real meanness which touched the heart, of the nation's life. One could not my anything for the wholesale encouragement of organized sport on Banday The real question was not what people should not do on Sunday, but what they ought to do. Church people ought to work all together for the re covery of the Lord's Day.. The character of their services should again and again be reconsidered, and, if necessary, alter stions should be made.
