...haired 16-year-old daughter, Princess Sehai. "For seven days without a break," she wrote, "the enemy has been bombing the armies and people of my country, including women and children, with horrible gases. Hundreds of my countrymen are screaming and moaning with pain. Many are unrecognizable since the skin has been burned from their faces." Added Lord Cecil: The Italians have been proven guilty of bombing Red Cross units and have just destroyed the open city of Harar. These bombing 'outrages' might conceivably be due to mistakes, but the horrible and shameless use of gas must have...

Best of the Ganso nudes exhibited last week was the figure of a young model seated by a tea table, a black lace scarf thrown over her shoulders (see cut). Shrewdly Artist Ganso has repeated the tawny color of her skin in the tan walls, the rich brown of the floor. Other pictures that stopped gallerygoers: two young women lying side by side on a lake shore, one nude, the other dressed only in silk stockings & pumps; and the back view of a plump female sprawled on a divan. A Guggenheim Fellowship and many exhibition prizes have come to Artist...
