The Man's Drink That Women Appreciate

As the fame of that imperial cocktail, Gin and Rose's Lime Juice, spread from East of Suez to the West End of London, it was not the men- folk alone who gave the orders. Somehow their wives and daughters had discovered that`

this drink, above others, was one to keep-figures slender.

And with that discovery came another, that even a mere man who insists on Rose's Lime Juice, tonight avoids a headache tomorrow.

The conception popularised by Germany and Japan, the Times' continues, of continental blocs, is wholly artificial and has no root in economic realities.

It may be rash to assure that any international order which we may be able to establish after the war will be coterminous with the world. But it cannot at any rate be limited by the continents.

The British Commonwealth has never allowed itself to be circum- scribed by geographical limitations precisely because it has never claimed to be a geopraphical bloc.
