...current campaign; their importance is perhaps over-stressed because of the static legislative program of the past Parliament. The splintered Conservative Party, with six ministerial vacancies and an unpopular leader, cannot hope to retain the 116 seats it won last June.

Simple Beauty. Matisse's style was sinuous as Chinese brush drawing, clearcut as Persian miniatures, and sometimes as flat as Turkish rugs; his art had ancestors around the globe. Beauty of the most serene and sensuous sort, achieved by the simplest means possible, was always his goal. He never tired of it, and consistently splendid triumphs of the pursuit flowed from his brush until he died. No 20th century painter had higher esthetic standards-or met them more often...
