Their Majesties sipped tea, last week, in crumpet passing proximity to Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ford. The chat waxed cordial and lasted for two hours. It took place neither at punctilious Buckingham Palace nor in the spacious hotel suite of Henry Ford (TIME, April 16). Royalty & Fords met before the cozy country hearth of famed Viscountess Astor at Cliveden, 20 miles from London. She, vivacious, hospitable, bred in Virginia, but now a British peeress and M. P., seemed the ideal international hostess. Gossip told that the conversation of Her Majesty and Mrs. Ford was at all times stately, that...
...merchants, shipowners, underwriters and ship-insurance brokers which is known throughout the Globe simply as Lloyd's. Last week the new home of this most potent association stood completed, and was opened by the King-Emperor. Majestic it stands in Leadenhall Street, not far from the Bank of England. Spacious, commodious and ultramodern, the new Lloyd's seems as remote as possible from the 17th Century coffee house of one Edward Lloyd under whose hospitable aegis ship owners and men of business came gradually and clannishly to unite their interests and immortalize their innkeeper...

Of particular feebleness are the two attempts on pages one twenty...
Chiang Kai-shek, Generalissimo of the nominally democratic Nationalist Govern-ment at Nanking, make a spacious gesture, last week: He backed his brother-in-law, Finance Minister T. V. Soong, in promulgating a one-sentence exaggerated boast and flat defy to Chang Tso-lin, thus: "As the Nationalist Govern-ment controls sixteen of the twenty-one provinces of China, producing nearly 70% of the customs revenue, and as the authorities in control at Peking no longer repre- sent the legal successor of the former recognized Government, the Nationalist Government clearly cannot recognize the right of any other authorities independently...
...such a strictly business plant there is little room for luxury. Only Arthur Brisbane is pampered. The famed concoctor of editorial paragraphs has a private library, dressing room, shower bath, should he be too busy for those luxuries in his tall Ritz Tower. But even in his spacious suite the desks, where work is done, are made of metal. No New Year's work was done on them; Mr. Brisbane far from Manhattan as he often is, wrote paragraphs from a desert in California...
