WITHOUT WOMEN

Lord Lothian

He is our Ambassador in Washington and he is without. a chatelaine. Nobody who knows him would deny that he brings ideal qualities to his great task.

Handsome, sociable, widely- travelled, skilled in the art of negotiation, our Ambassador was an inspired choice for a delicate mission.

But I should feel happier if there were a Lady Lothian to grace the drawing-room at the Embassy.

A diplomat's triumphs are not always won over the conference table.

One has only to meet Lady Loraine (Rome), Lady Lamp- son (Egypt) and Lady Camp- bell (Paris) to understand how much some of our Âm- bassadors owe to the charm of their wives. ...

This good-looking, debonair Old Etonian now retires to his crowded memories of service in many lands.

He has his faithful dog. His aunt's delightful house in Lincolnshire is always open to hini. -

He is still young and active enough to enjoy the pursuits he loves huntin', shootin' and fishin'.

But are there not times when he sighs for a wife in his retreat "to whom he may whisper, 'Solitude is sweel' "?

There is a joy in sharing memories that few bachelors know.

Leslic Hore-Balisha

He owes much to the guid- ing hand of a mother who was both a pal and an inspiration.

At twenty-eight he was an M.P., Secretary for War at forty-three.

Unlike so many bachelors, he does not vow eternal celi- bacy. Ho says that he doesn't demand beauty, rank wealth in his wife.

Will he ever reach 10, Downing-street?

Slim, athletic, charmingly -boyish, he still has the manner and outlook of a young man. Remember that he thought it worth his while to go up to Oxford when he was thirty- five,

He still seems anxious to renew the youth that was in- terrupted by the Great War.

Declaring it was far preferable in the interests of the owners and of the country generally that shops ba kept open, Colonel White- should ley, vice-president of the AuctionecTS and Estate Agents Institute, told members that a landlord might be advised to reduce his reat rather than have his premises

empty.

To keep the "great and essential trade of garage and motor premises on its feet," he suggested that at least a 30 per cent, reduction in rent must be made,

He said that he understood that the agreement was in the offing but had not actually been reached. Whether the agreement will merely extend the existing one under which the Soviet agreed to purchase $40,000,000 worth of goods annually was not dis- closed.
