asked to name the greatest menace that faces famous men, the best answer would be: over-confidence. It is a fault that has toppled kings and dictators, wrecked romances and reputations.

It was over-confidence that losi Dewey the. Presidency. In London it weakened the fame of Alm- star Danny Kaye. And now, it seems, philosophers like Dr Joand have learned what it can do to a man,

Kaye's alibi for his near-failure at the Royal Variety Show is this: "I should never, as an American, have topped a British' variety bill on such a night. I should have given them stronger, more popular numbers. I should never have played to such an, audience they paid too much for their seats to laugh." Now this is nonsense. Success of the show, Ted Ray, had no difficulty in winning cheers and applause. What wrecked Kaye was the same thing that wrecked Dewey: over-confidence.

He came on to the stage ilke a prewar Emperor of Japan, expecting easy kow-tows. But he doesn't know the British. They have warm hearts and quick cheers for nervous new-comers-harsh standards for

ALL SET FOR A SOCIAL WINTER

By EVE PERRICK

CAMBRIDGE, Nov. 4.

SOMEWHERE among the badly plumbed,

awkwardly staired, but lovely, buildings of Cambridge some young men and (less probably) women are thinking about such things as; the function of the university, policy towards Russia, and existentialism.

This is a known fact. The undergraduates own nowspaper, Varsity, asked for contributions, and got a bagful of essays on just those subjects. But from cavesdropping in the coffee-houses at 11 o'clock, the public-houses at pre-lunch and post-dinner times, or in any other places where the students collect and talk, you' would never guess at such goings-on.
