What are your bright swords for except to slay?
Preserve their lustre; let me see them leaping
Out of their scabbards twenty times a day;
Unless we smash these craven churls like crockery
To prove our right of place within the sun,
Our martial prestige has become a mockery
And Deutschland's day is done!

"In all the best dress ateliers classic evening gowns are now
being exhibited, and in many of these the lines of the corsage
closely resemble the draperies to be seen on the Venus de
Milo."--_Daily Mail_.

We must go and look at the Venus de Milo's corsage again.
