pre-eminent success, in England, a
good many years ago, when 1 was a
news correspondent in London.
Britain had at that time quite a lib
eral cabinet, corresponding. to what
we call an administration The House
of, Commons was in sympathy with it.,
and passed all the bills that the adj
ministration folk recommended. The
House of Lords however, was ultra
conservative. AS fast as fthe liberal
commons voted favorably on liberal
proposals the conservative lords voted
unfavorably on them. Accordingly,
all this liberal stuff wet into the dis
card, just as has occurred here, when
Congress has passed liberal laws and
the Supreme Court has ovo{.ruled
them, as unconstitutional.
Reform Rejected
Finally the administration (not the
king, but the cabinet, which parallels

wis-lcu-tor measures.
In the hope of putting an end to it,
it suggested the following rcadjust-

The commons, having passed bill,
the lords having rejected it, the COM
mons having passed it again, the
lords having re-rejected it, and the
commons having passed it a third
time, that thing bccamc a law, the
lords to the contrary Notwithstanding
The lords, naturally, said, "No, SIR

Of the Pan American Union

of some 1000 guests at the
party Saturday night given by
the Dominican Minister n d
Nine. Pastoriza.
Smartly gowned youngsters,
and oldsters too, wandered
through the palm-filled patio
encouraging the amused birds
to turn somersaults, drank the
exhilarating Dominican rum
punch and gazed out through
the Aztec gardens to DR.. Leo
S. Rowe's unique home flooded
with turquoise lights.
1t was gay, brilliant crowd
.-Latins predominating-a n d
they enjoyed themselves to the
nth degree. T he Pastorizas,
with the Dominican Minister
to London and Sonora de Hen
riquez Urena, received at the
top of the long, broad stair
way. Gracious silver-haired Sc
nora de Pastoriza wore a filmy
frock of beige chiffon with ac-
cents of apple green. Sonora
de Henriquez was garbed in a
model of black velvet with sill
yer threads running through it.
Two of the most picturesque
women present were Nine. SEE,
affecting a kimona of her ma

tiny wife of the Siamese Min
lister, who brings to ones mind
teakwood and pungent spices,

both accompanied by their en-

had come down for the celebra-
