London Luncheons Shatter A Superstition

BY BARBARA Armstrong DEOPLE who always do what is considered the "right thing" made a special note in their diaries last month not to order oysters for according to convention the oyster leaves the menu when there is no "r" in the month.

These "sticklers" for tradition were, however, taken com- pletely by surprise in London last month when at an important luncheon party at a St. James's-street restaurant, oysters were served.

IN

HILLTOP RETREAT

Colombo, May 28.

ON a hilltop at Fandy, Central Ceylon, Miss Eveline Grant Robinson. daughter of the late Sir Ernest William Robinson, niece of the present baronet, lives the life of a Buddhist.

She wears a white robe and a scarf. Her home is a lonely stone hut. She came out here in 1934. She said when interviewed: "The call came suddenly. I obeyed. I had completed the first cycle of my present life.

"The second cycle will be completed in Ceylon. When it has run its course I may go to India to some mountain fastness, where

I shall complete the higher initiation."
