LORD HALIFAX
Some years ago, Lord Halifax,
now Grea^ Britain’s Foreign
Secretary, was travelling to Bath,
and shared a railway compart-
ment with two very primloolking,
middle-aged women, Shortly be-
fore reaching Bath the train
passed through a .tunnel, and
taking advantage of the dark-
ness, he noisily kissed his own
hand several times. As the train
drew into the station he rose,
took off his hat, and in his most
gallant manner asked: “To which
of you two charming ladies am I
indebted for the delightful inci-
dent in the tunnel?” He then
beat a hasty retreat, leaving the
two women glaring at each other.
— Cavalcade.
BERNARD SHAW
Bernard Shaw’s name first be-
came familiar to the general
public as the result of scurrilous
attacks, disguised as interviews,
made upon him by a section of
the London evening press. The
interviewer would force his way
into' Shaw’s modest apartment,
apparently for no other purpose
than to bully and insult him.
A Merry Christmas
SkOlavSrOustig 3.
Tasty melas, eggs and bacon, fried
eggs and potatoes, coffee, tea, milk,
cakes, sandwiches, beer, lemonade,
orangeade, grapefruit.
Service at any time of the day.
English spoken. Moderate prices.
Many people maintained that
Shaw must be an imaginay per-
sonage. Why did he stand it?
Why didn’t he kick the inter-
viewer downstairs? Failing that,
why didn’t be call in the police?
It seemed difficult to believe in
the existence of a being so
Christian as this poor persecuted
Shaw appeared to be. Everyone
talked about him.
As a matter of fact, the inter-
views were written by Shaw
himself.
