...slight diversion it might interest your readers to know that bathing in the Philippines is conducted in any convenient place-at a well or "on the bank of a stream where the carabao dream" and so far as adult females are concerned there is no undue exposure of the person. When the bather arrives at the place of the bath she loosens her saya (skirt) which is tied round her waist and lifts it to cover her bosom. She then removes her floppy camisa (waist) and camison (chemise) if she wears the latter garment, kicks aside her chinelas (slippers...

Then came Stravinsky's L'Oiseau de Feu sweeping its fantastic plumage through a maze of golden apples and silver trees, stripped a little of its diabolism, but gloriously exotic withal. There was the scherzo from Mendelssohn's A Midsummer Night's Dream with its solo for Flutist Yeschke, new this season, and the dances from Borodin's Prince Igor, strident, barbarous, voluptuous...
...Goat Song (TIME, Feb. 8), sees in Maximilian the representative of a humane, idealistic principle of government. He would, with kindness, mold superstitious peasants, renegades into a nation.

When the late Frank A. Munsey, as head of a string of cut-rate grocery stores, first began to dream of newspaper grandeur, there entered his employ a young Canadian named William T. Dewart. Mr. Munsey owned the Mohican Hotel in New London, Conn. Mr. Dewart became a bookkeeper there. Last week, aged 51, Mr. Dewart ap- peared as the purchaser of the late Mr. Munsey's New York Sun and New York Evening Telegram, together with the Mohican Hotel and other New London properties. Somehow Mr. Dewart had financed the purchase individually, even as Mr. Munsey financed...
