not only to a busy season. but to gay
one Plans for the debutantes' season are

affords a larger number Of debutantes

many. but they will be brilliant ones.

The Lords may make a fatal mistake

The general electorate may emphasize
strongly its preference for the ancient
principle that there can be no taxation

troll Of financial policy must remain

final issue of a conflict between the
houses over financial was and means.

they hold their heads at the highest
and stand by their order and by their
exalted station under the British Con-
stitution; and the masses do not think
the worse of them for holding their
ground with obstinacy and dignity.
The Lords moreover, will fiatter de-
mos while exalting their own horns.
Their suspensive veto of the budget
will be exercised because in their judg-
ment the Commons have transcribed
their original mandate and the people
must be allowed 10 decide whether the
