McCormick wins, the House of Lords may prepare to make room for nearly 20 members of the fair sex, ; many of whom, like Baroness Ravens- | dale, will add the attraction of grace | and beauty, and. llke Lady Rhonda, will lift the average of useful achieve- | ment in the public scrvice. If, however, fate is against the femi. nine aspirant to United States Senate honors, the reaction in London, it is said, will be keenly apparent in the de- cisions now pending against the lnrd!‘ in the latest petition to the Crown pre- sented on January 1 by these hereditary Tages. i o Sir Alan Cobham, a brilliant young | member of Parliament from Sussex, is | an enthusiastic advocate of the famiiy airplane, and he is known in his locality as the pilot who takes the entire family from his home perhaps to Edinburgh to hear a concert or visit a friend. Lady Cobham naturally goes along and the twin daughters and their two nurses in their pretty blue and white uniforms, and there is a maid to look after the incheon and the food for the young- sters, who are only a year and a halt old. Every holiday sees the Cobham family in the air racing to some point at the extreme of the isles from the Sussex home. Sir Alan visualizes the time when every ambitious family will own a plane just as.they have motor cars now. ‘While now it seems highly hazardous to cross the occan from east to west, he believes the time will soon come when such a crossing will be commonplace and visiting between Great Britain and the United States will not consume the time it does now. Indeed, he looks for- ward to week end trips to New York and back to London on the stroke of the business hour. For .years Sir Alan has gone on business errands for his handsome young wifg to London and even to Paris, and tHeir friends think that Lady Cobham is extremely fortu- nate to have such an expert pilot for & husband, since he thinks nothing of whirling to Paris for the latest creation and getting back in time for dinner. e Queen Mary of Britain in recently appointing Hon. Jean Hamilton Bruce as maid of honor has effectually dis- posed of the rumor that this office, be- ing considered obsolete, was to lapse. But the Queen is not reviving the purely ornamental maid of the ordcr 1 n Victoria favored—the type t is agreeable to look upon and wh» | 'an idl> untold hours without showing | & trace of boredom. Victoria had eight | maids who had no other occupations than to amile when she appeared, open the doors and bow.and at times read | the language of the Hidalgos with ease. g0 as far toward the cataracts as deemed safe, taking in all the fascinat- ing and newly excavated places en route, and when the boat is no longer practi~ cal to make the journey to the cape {and back to the dahabiyeh by auto. Mme. Balsan has wished to make this trip for some time, and_before the motor _excursion begins Col. Balsan will join the ladies and there may be scme shooting of big game when the wild country of Midafrica is reached. This is the first Winter since 1919 that Col. and Mme. Balsan have not spent in |the Mediterranean near Monte Carl |on the Prench Riviera. They have a splendid chateau near Fontainebleau, one of three historic royal domains which are invariably included in the itinerary of the French chateau coun try. This is the lovely and ornate vil called Anet. which Henry IV built for Diane de Poictiers. The former Miss Vanderbilt and Duchess of Marlborough has had the chateau restored after an- cient prints found in the Louvre, and the suite occupied by Col. Balsan is the same in which Henry paced the anxious hours on the night before the battle of Ivry. i . Col. Harry Burgess, who is the Gov- ernor of the Canal Zone and in whose hospitable home on Balboa Heights so many of his country people are wel- comed, is naturally much interested in the increase of English spoksn in ad- jacent Latin countries, just as the au- thorities of the republics of Colombia and Panama take pride in the numbsr of English residents who can now use Ethnologists stubbornly maintain that Spanish will eventually be the prevail= ing language of the Western Conii- nents, North America as well as South, It will be difficult to convince citizens of the United States or of the British ns north that such will be true. Canada, because of its rigorous climate, does not make strides in population that the countries of milder climate show, but they do increase materially, while the United States goes by leaps and bounds because of its climatic ver= satility. The distinguished French sa- vant, M. Maurice Tesnl, has recently, in & carefully prepared table of languages, declared inese the world tongue, since almost one-fourth of the world's population speaks it. English is second, Russian third, Germ fourth and Spanish fifth. In continental Europe and the British Isles more speak Ger- man than any other tongue, with Rus- sian sccond and English third. French was the language of diplomacy until the late Woodrow Wilson and Lloyd George, former premier of Britain, insisted that all texts at the Versailles treaty should be in English as well as the universal medium in international treaties. It ranks fifth in Europe proper and imme- diately after Italian. But in the Canal Zone, as Col. Burgess notes, English is picking up rapidly. * ok ok ok Senhora Lima, widow of the distin- guished Brazilian diplomat and scholar, Manoel de Oliviera Lima, has recently | assumed the post left vacant by his | death as librarian of the superb Iberc- American library at the Catholic Uni- versity. This collection, Dr. Lima’s gift, contains some of the rarest volumes in the world, many being one of the only two or three known to be in existence | and these to be found in the British Museum, the Bibliotheque Nationale of | ris and the Vatican Library. hora Lims was the able assistant of her husband for many years -before his death, nd she is following the same lines of research in order to keep the library abreast of the times and com. | and make small talk. The consort ot George V has never rson and it would be | been an idle displeasing to haye one about her who | could not fill the time profitably. The Queen has her tapestry loom and w &t petit point several: hours da She also knits and crechets and sie has recently completed a set of knitted coverlets for each of the three grand- children. No doubt Jean, who will enter on her office this month, will take over what 18 called “fancy work™ of some descrip- tion. All of the royal family of Britain are neediewomen and the Queen sews most beautifully and can turn out an exquisite hemstitched and embroidered | handkerchief, a favorite gift for inti- mate friends. | * k% % | Mrs. John W. Garrett, wife of the Ambassador to Rome, has been passing # few weeks in Bordighera, resting from the activity which affected the diplo~ matic circle while the royal nuptials ‘were in progress. 8o pleturesque were the scenes on the streets of Rome when the rural popu- lace came to pay homage to their future | King and his jovely Belgian bride that | scores of important citizens of the coun. try resident in Europe poured into th city to add this to their other experi. ences of pageants. Naturally this re. sulted in almost as much entertaining in | the American mbassy as in foreign es- tablishments representing roval kindered with the prince and his lady. Mrs. Garrett has an old liking for Bordigherea, & small resort set on hills h above the Mediterranean and halfway between Monte Carlo and San Remo. Since the Italian government no longer requires & visa from those | who cross its border, it is the fashicn ©of many who weary of the hectic joys | of Nice and Monaco to motor frequent. 1y to Bordighera for an afternoon and evening of quiet.

NEW YORK (N.AN.A.).—Joseph W. Lippincott, retiring as president of the National Association of Book Publish- | ers, says sales of classics and staple old books are declining, and he lays this to he emphasis placed upon the newest books as they come out week by week. Listen to some of the book chatter in studios and at teas and high-brow par- ties and you'll get the impression that | this vogue of the latest and the newest is involved with an intellectual snob- | bishness. The talk is ever of the fresh- est volume and the discussion is over |the book not of this year, but of the month. Acquaintanceship with literature thus |comes to be measured by the reader's ability to keep abreast of the swift and | powerful currents of the book industry, and when the output is so vast, how |can any reader spare time for books published before he was born? New titles last year totaled 10,187, Mr. Lippincott says. To go through |them all & man would have to read about 30 books a day to finish within |a year. (Copyright, 1930.
