Declarer, seeing what was coming?. threw his losing spade, but this did not avall because East then played his last diamond, thus assuring West of a trump trick.

NOR FIVE YEARS THE EMPRESS OF ETHIOPIA NEVER SMILED. Gracious and gentle, never abandoning faith in her coun- try's ultimate liberation, she has had the agony of her people under Mussolini's rule always present to her mind.
When she went to London from her home in Bath after the great news of Ethiopian successes and the falling for- tunes of the Fascist invaders, one would scarcely have re- cognised her. One saw her now as she was in her own capital-vivacious, strong. with sparkling eyes and ready smiles, the varied expressions of her eager thoughts suc- ceeding rapidly-a very gal- Innt lady.
"In her exiled home in Bath she has hoped and planned for the return to Ethiopia all these live years.

SHE NEVER SMILED FOR FIVE YEARS
By SYLVIA PANKHURST
Sylvia Pankhurst, former Suffragist leader and now active worker for the cause of Abyssinian freedom, has just interviewed the Empress of Abyssinia. In this inter- view the Empress disclosed for the first time her plans to return home. Sylvia Pankhurat has been an intimate friend of the Empress for five years, and is the editor of "New Times and Ethiopia News."

AS DESTA'S DAUGH- TER AND SONS, with the Empress's youngest boy, are also at school, popular with their companions there and notable in their sports. Their home life is simple and sensible, much like that of
English children, and their English governess proudly. told me of their efficient war- time help in "digging for vic- tory" in the big garden, which supplies all the house- hold needs in fruit and vege- tables.
The Empress, like the Em peror, regards the cause of Ethiopia as part of the cause of world freedom against the Axis, and they have both given many valuable and rare Ethiopian treasures to the British Red Cross.

HOSPITAL WORK
THE EMPRESS was netive in the work of the hospitals especially that for maternity, the mothers' and bables' welfare cen- tres, and clinics which she helped to found in Ellopla.
When all the progressive work in which she tools so zealous a sliare was broken off short by Mus- solini's outrageous and unprovoked aggression the Empress Mennen showed her courage and her quali- ty. She called together the women of the capital, and urged them to join in patriotic effort first, of which she herself was president, undertook to assist the provision- ing of the atray.
Under its auspices hundreds of
- women of all ranka met at the palace daily, seasoning meat with salt and pepper and other condiments, and drying it in the hot African sun, Ac- cording to Ethioplan custom, they

The Crown Prince studied with a tutor, and afterwards at Liverpool University; the Duke of Harrar at Wellington College; the Princess Tsahai, following her own ardent desire, be- came a nurse at the Children's Hospital, Great Ormond Street, and, after qualifying as a State Registered nurse, went to Guy's for further ex- perience.

the.
DAUGHTER of Empress, the widowed Prin- cess Tanagne, has been work- ing to equip herself for future responsibilities.
Sho
is the widow of Ras Dests,, who continued to fight the Italians among the forests of Sidamo for two years aftor the Emperor had started on. his historic mission to Europe, which has resulted in Ethio- pia's alliance with Britain to fight the Axis; and his triumphant return to his country.
Rag Deata was finally cap- of tured by the soldiers Mussolini, and instead of re- ceiving the honours due to n prisoner of war, was shot and decapitated, his head being carried round as a sign of Italian vengeance. The mur- der of this magnificent son- in-law, who was an ardent co-operator in the great social reforms of the Emperor and Empress, and a most able and generous man, is one of the deep sorrows which have fallen upon the Imporial family and the people of Ethiopia.
"And when I am home- again,L-she said with radiant. happiness, "how much I shall have to do! My school for girls they have made a bar- racks of it; but it will be re- opened as soon as I return."
The Mennen Lyceum of which she spoke the first for Ethiopian high school girls, on modern European' lines, was a cherished work of the Empress. She wanted to start it when the Emperor was regent and the Empresa Zauditu was on the throne. The Empress Zauditu, daugh- ter of the Emperor Menelik. IT, occupied the throne with the Emperor Haile Selassie, then Ras Makonnen, as Re- gent. But, steeped in the old traditions, Zauditu con- sidered auch innovations un- necessary. She thought the old style schools quite suf- ficient.
When Empress Mennen came to the throne the high school was her first project. A distinguished French- woman was selected as head- mistress, and most of her as- sistants were French or British. The curriculum was the same as that of a good boys grammar school, with gymnastics and sports, music, painting, and also domestic science. Modern languages
were a strong point. The school was an instant success. It started with 100 boarders, and many more day pupils. The little dark girls in their gym tunics vaulted and leapt and climbed with all the vim and go of British or American girls.
"The child marriage is the worst of African customs," the Empress told me. "My advice has beon: keep your

Some of this brend was ground into powder and put in sacks, to be eaten dry, or mixed with water, and cooked in various
ways.
Under
the presidency of the Princess Tsahaj, another organisa- tlon of women made gas masks which covered the face and which were coloured dark brown, not to show out to the enemy. They were beautifully made. The European doctors praised the skifut work, but the deadly sperite which the Italians sprayed from their
