to take by force what Signer Mussolini balloven his nation requires and deserves in the way of African territory. R may be that he can nccomplish it, that his Government can weather the economic storms, which are bound to follow in the wake of battle, but without an iron hand upon the helm, Rome may well find herself floundering in a sea of troubles in which there is no haven. We cannot help but wonder if Il Duce appreciates the extremity of the crisis he is courting; or whether he says, with Le Roi Soleil: "After me the deluge.”

The effect of bathing dress reform, or abolition has been to discover the pleasurable effect of the sun on the human skin. It can easily be carried to excess,' to the detriment of looks and comfort and even of health, but in modera- tion sunbathing is as delightful as it is healthy. Incidentally, it has led to a curious reversal of fashion. The beauty no longer seeks to pre... serve the lily-white skin beloved of poets all the world over.

The scaffolding was our chief trouble. We had so much of it that when the building was completed we had to call in detectives to find out which was the building and which was the scaffolding.

The structure was half-completel and architects from all over the world and Italy were coming in droves to marvel at it and jealously lean against it in a vain attempt to make it fall over. Then we lost the plans. Undaunted, we decided to do it from memory. The result was startling. Modern, that's what it was.
