The implication that the Princess Jane was in any way annoyed is absurd as she never dances and. after a delightful dinner, with "the most charming young man she had ever met" her only interest was in seeing that the two Princes enjoyed themselves.
The next morning the two Princes, coming down to the beach for a swim before leaving, saw the Signora Kraus with her mother and asked her to join them for a swim which she did. As she is an excellent swimmer she rather outpaced both the Princes much to their amusement.
If I go into detail in this way it is because this young woman who has been living at the Lido the entire summer quietly and respectably with her mother has been very much upset by the notoriety arising from the incident. REBEKAH W. ELLIOT Venice, Italy
Down-at-Heel Perm
Sirs:
The University of Pennsylvania consists of many schools, which, for the most part, rank high in their respective fields.
Many TIME readers in the Alumni and student bodies (myself included), are extremely puzzled concerning your description of the University as "down-at-heel," which appeared in the Sept. 26 issue.
Please enlighten us.

Will you be good enough to publish your reasons for referring to the University of Pennsylvania as "Pennsylvania's big. down-at-heel

TIME also had in mind that Penn. like Columbia, has lost through polyglot expansion the distinction it once shared among Eastern colleges with Harvard, Princeton. Yale.—ED. Morley & Hoover Sirs: Better, better and better gets "The March of Time." Last night's conversation between President Hoover and Christopher Morley was your highest high point for verisimilitude. For four years as telephone operator at the Saturday Review I heard Mr. Morley's voice almost every day and could not mistake it anywhere. Last night I could almost believe your actor was Mr. Morley himself. . . .

Sirs:
In the Sept. 26 issue p. 26 under Cinema The Night of June 13 you neglected to mention that Clive Brook as John Curry purchased TIME at the newsstand. Think this should have gone under "good shots."

Sirs:
One of your enthusiastic rooters abroad is Miss Mazo de la Roche, formerly (before the success of her Jalna saga) of Ontario, Canada, but now of Devon, Sicily and surrounding points.
One of the firm, visiting her this summer to confer about her since-published Lark Ascending, showed her a copy of TIME, whereupon she subscribed, and we rarely receive a letter from her in which she does not make some reference to her latest copy.
We have just had a letter from her, written from Edinburgh, in which she says:
