...these to the Hebrides or the mainland of Scotland in one week. For hundreds of years St. Kilda has belonged to the MacLeods, who, living on the nearly as rigorous Isle of Skye, have seen nothing untoward in life on St. Kilda (Norman Magnus, present MacLeod of MacLeod, is hale and hearty at 91). The Marquess of Ailsa* bought St. Kilda last year, immediately decided to move the population to Ayrshire where he owns 76,000 acres. Ayrshire's temperature seldom rises above 60, but to the St. Kildans it will be as Florida...
Interested spectators during the week-long convention were dapper Bill Robinson, Negro, who at 52 wears rakishly the undisputed crown of king of all living tap-dancers; Ziegfeld's Harriet Hoctor, S.

After two weeks of weary debate the Senate last week ratified (58 to 9) the London Naval Treaty.

S. entry into the World Court or League of Nations would void the Treaty; 3) All parties to the Treaty guarantee "Freedom of the Seas" to belligerents as well as neutrals in time of war; 4) The division of cruisers into gun categories is only a "temporary expedient" which would not bind the U. S. at future conferences; 5) The 10-6 naval ratio between the U. S. and Japan should be restored...
...Margaret Ayer Barnes-Houghton Mifflin ($2.50). Longer than most of today's novels, Years of Grace is not quite long enough to take in its heroine's full life. Jane Ward is 14 when her story opens in the '90s, a grandmother when it ends, still hale if not as hearty as she has been. Jane is the younger daughter of a well-to-do conservative Chicago family. When she falls in love with André, 19-year-old French boy who wants to be a sculptor, her parents forbid them to see each other. Later Jane...
