But the Duchess of Marlborough evi- dently doesn’t think so . . . It's all very well to be a duchess, but when it comes to tripping over the “press” every few minutes, that’s another business . . .

Yes, the Mayflower's blond bombshell | has just such a book in which she|. . immortalizes the already immortals | ... Ye Spectator, however, was snub- bed with a vengeance when he| tramped in there last week, and sitting in a corner with a couple of,cousinly rogues from Manhattan, sighed Supper Club Notes lub Habana—Renato and Rita do sophisticated interpreta- tions of a waltz, a carioca and other numbers in a smooth and effortless manner; Susan Hall twinkles in tap and rhythm danc- Ing, and Moe Baer's Orchestra supplies the music.

Arguing that nations should not permit the international shipment of arms and munitions, Georgetown University’s varsity debating team won an unanimous decision last night over Johns Hopkins University. The Georgetown University team, which made its first appearance of the season in Gaston Hall, contended it was humanly npossibly to enforce an international embargo on arms. Nations believing themselves in dan- ger of attack, the speaker argued, would resort to the bootlegging of munitions. The Johns Hopkins team argued that the munition makers are controlled internationally and con- tribute their influence toward war. The visiting Baltimore team was composed of James F.
