...addition to picturing Labor's river winding its slow but ever broadening way toward Socialism-in-our-Time, The Illustrated London News mapped for swank Mayfair the evolution of London mentality which now makes the spread of Labor over the capital look like the efforts of a moppet playing with an inkdropper. Between 1931 and 1935 the municipal Government of London has passed into the control of Socialists led by Herbert Morrison. Since these Socialists are as British in their way as Conservative Stanley Baldwin they see no reason why at the same meeting there should not be both...
...picturesque narrow stairs. One of the noblest mansions in all London is historic Londonderry House. There Mr. MacDonald, after he was considered by the Labor Party to have betrayed it and gone over to Pride & Privilege, found a new home so warm and bright with the glamor of Mayfair that the least he could do in return as Prime Minister, was to take Edith's husband into the Cabinet (TIME...

This frivolous view Italians could not take. From the King down they were nervous, anxious and resentful of Britain's jam-packing the Mediterranean...
...Crimson editor who at a late hour last Saturday evening undertook the task of escorting a young lady home to Tower Court... Even without benefit of clergy Tower Court has a monastic eloquence powerful enough to cast a spell over the most sated denizen of Copley Square and the Mayfair. As if the leaded glass windows and pointed archways were not near enough the road to Rome, the architect of the citadel above Lake Waban placed in the driveway a statue in cold, gray stone, a statue of the Madonna. As he drove up the hill the Crimson editor took...
