Editorial Comment
Very Significant
(Rpltin,n nr.e Cunl

History does not have TO be told in
terms of great events. A small hap
pening may have wide Significance
as, for example, the death OF
Princess Ghika in Hungary. OF the
old Russian royalty, she married an
adjutant of former King Ferdinand
of Bulgaria; and she Is now dead
from burns received when she tried
to clean pair of gloves with BEN
zine. Is this unimportant? "Then
SO is the tremendous change which
1t typifes-the overthrow Of royal
houses, the impoverishment of rich
and noble families, the pitiful ef-
forts at economy enforced on those
who had known only luxury. The
last decade--indecd. the last century
of Europe is included in the brief
statement that Princess Ghika has
died of burns.

November Days
The giant elms stand leafiess now,
The birds have southwark flown,
And asters wild, beside the road
Have dropped. their beauty gone.
Gray clouds gather in the sky,
A chill Is in the air;
November days are with US now,
The woods look wild and bare.
Each day keeps growing shorter,
While all seems dull and gray;
November days are Fastening,
And winters on it's way.

In world festooned with snow,
Tis King Winters coronation.
