London Luncheons Shatter A Superstition

BY BARBARA ARMSTRONG PEOPLE 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.

BARONET'S NIECE

IS BUDDHIST IN

HILLTOP RETREAT

Colombo, May 28.

ON a hilltop at Kandy, 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 hat. 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

shall complete the higher initiation."

Miss Grant, who is thirty-four, hopes one day to become a fair

ly competent Pali student, to record the scriptures in the sacred language.

Harry Winston, dealer in precious stones, who bought the Jonker for an estimmted $700,000 and hopes to sell the twelve stones from it for about $2,000,000, chose Kaplan to cut the diamond only after European experts had failed to agree among themselves as to the location of the clenvage lines.

Underwriters, including Lloyda of London, refused on expert advice to insure the successful cleaving of the diamond.

Winston estimated that two carats

had been lost as dust by the cleaving. Further cutting and polishing, he said. will cost an additional 300 carats. The stone originally weighed 726 carats when it was found on January 16, 1934. at Elandsfontein, Pretoria, South Africa.

One of the twelve stones which will result from the cutting will be emerald-shaped and weigh 165 carats, It will be the third largest diamond in the world, exceeded in size only the two stones cut from the Cullinan diamond, weighing 516 and 309 carats. The other eleven stones' will range from eleven to fifty carats. -United Press.
