Egypt's 18-year-old King Farouk last week drove through Cairo streets, sardine-packed with cheering, cotton-robed fellaheen to open the first Parliament elected since his Coronation. Sixteen-year-old Queen Farida, who has been breaking precedents right & left since her betrothal, last week led the way in breaking another.

At week's end the festival wound up with an afternoon parade and a mammoth bonfire at a nearby river. To this last flocked natives and visitors alike, armed to the ears with butterfly nets, bird cages, sieves, kitchen strainers, washtubs and burlap bags, for the season...
