This beats by over eight hours the record previously held by th e Mauretan ia of fivedays two hours thirty-four minutes.The Bremen, it is stated, has beaten all records for the crossing. In the twenty-four hours ended noon yesterday she did 713 knots, giving the splendid averageof twenty-nine and a half knots per hour, which is comparable to the speed of' many- destroyers.Though the Maure tania is twenty-one years old, i t is. expected tha tshe wil l endeavour to re -es tablish her old suprem acy.

ROYAL VISITORS TOGOODWOODP R I N C E S S M A R Y T O A T T E N D

I MOTORED to Goodwood yesterday andfound the course in much better condition than on e could expect in view of thed ro u g h t .The popularity of the meeting is as greatas ever, and few of the l"yge houses in thedistric t, will not he filled when racing star tson Tuesdjvj next.Princess^Mary and Viscount Lascelles willbe present at t he races, and the Dnttoand Duchess of York will probably spend aday or sO there . The Duchess has often saidthat Goodwood is her favourite meeting, ) :

Literary PartyOne of the rao,st " literary " par ties forGoodwood will be th at given by TennysonJesse and her husband, Captain Harvvood, whoare entertaining friends for the meeting atCut Mill, IJosham.This transformed farmhonse is .mentionedin tho Domesday Book. Not the least of itsattractions is the mill s tream that has becomea swimming pool.V*

After the CureAfter that Tennyson Jesse and her hns-baitd are going for a cure to Brides-lei?-Bainsand Ihcn they have to dash back to Londonin September, when Captain Harwood ivillproduce a new play and Tennyson Jesse's newbook, " The Lacquer Lady," will be ont,-

W. J . Iioeke is goingback to their villa at Cannes while liis wifedoes a cure at Hadon-Baden,S- a Gibraltar G-ardens

Gibraltar, the anniversary of the capture ofwliieh, by . a combine*! D utch and I'higlishforce' , occurs, to-inorrow, is tho ught by m anypeople to be a barren rock,In fact, tiiere arc trees and flowers in greatva rie ty .Groves of olive trees, as well as the graceful pepper tree, grow on the slopes midwayup tile Rock.The Alameda (public garden) is a dreamof beauty ail the year round, with its succession of senii-tropical Hoiwers. Scarletbougainvillica, blue phnrhago, crimson hybis-ens, j'od, pink and white roscn grow in greatprofusion.Orange and lemon trees, bearing hoth fruitand Mowers at the same time, are quitecommon.

Britons in KomeBritish society in Rome almost disappearsdurin g the hot season, bu t in spito of th ewea the r the re a re , i liear, a few English visito rs remain ing . The Hon . Evan M organ ,Lord Tredegar's son, is one.Attached to the Papal Court, ho is generally to be seen at ceremonies in St. Peter's .He has the distinction of being a Knight ofMalta, and recently married the Hon. LoisS tu r t . Artist -PeerLord Berners, who has a beautiful house inthe Eternal City, spends much of his timeth e re :He is welt known as a composer, and is alsoa clever artist . This summer h e has frequently been out sketchin g with Mr. RexWhis tler, the gifted paint er of the Tate frescoes , who is staying with him,Both these young men take art seriously,often driving to some beauty spot outside thecity to spend the whole day at their easels.

Gold Shaded EyesOn the beach of Deauville, writes my correspondent, beauty has changed her cosmetics,and al tered, so to speak, the, colour schemeand character of her pretty face.Instead of eyelids heavily blacked, she dis

plays a sparkling glance set in a frame ofgold 'powder.As for beauty's eyebrows, they are keptclosely plucked, leaving a fine clean line,e i the r a rched l ike Cupid ' s o r s tra ig h t and in cisive hke the dash benea1>h.a signature.. *

Serving Two PurposesSo great was the rush to the sea during theheat wave that there-was a great shortage ofaccoinmodatiori for undressing.As a result many people had to use cars asbathi ng tents, I noticed one woman had acomliiuation of bathing gown and tent on thebeach of a south coast resort,She put thia neat little contraption overher head and changed unilerne?.th, and whenshe had fiiiished passed it on to other members of her party.

The fashion of having.initials and monograms on handbags and dresses has spread toscarves, I noticed a particular ly effective'one yesterd ay. It was worn with a point atthe back, and a monogram in gold letters onblack.

Grenade BroochThe bride's father has given her a handsome grenade brooch in diamonds, and thisshe will \ar pinned to her silver dress, whichhas been made in modern style with diamanteembroidery and crystals , outlining the hipsand waist.Her four bridesmaids will also wear silverfrocks, with silver wreaths in their hair.

A Decora ted Do gTlie craze for bead necklaces is evidentlyspread ing to the can ine world . A re tr ieve r Isaw in Kensing ton yesterday had his neckencircled with largo b arbar ic beads in abewildering variety of colours.

Early Cotton DaysLancashire 's cotton trade, now in the throegof a wages dispute, can boast of an earlyseven teen th cen tury b ir t l i .There is an interesting reference to its beginning in a London petition of 1621, whichs ta tes tha t fo r "abou t twenty yea rs pas tdivers people of Lancaster having found outthe trade of making of other fustians madeof a kind of bombast or down, being a fruitof tho earth, growing upon little shru bs,brouglit in to this kingdom by tho Turkeymerchan ts from Smyrna , Cyprus , Acra andSydon, but commonly called cotton wool."

"This entente has lasted throughonfc th e ages, throughthe Renaissance to the Iîsorgimento, whenGhidstone was a hero .to the Jtalian people,to tlie present day.

There was a holy festival in London onSunday, and the streets of Little Italy weregay witii flags and fragrant with rose leavesand incense.

And the occasion was even more sacredthan international unions...The Madonna was carried throngh th e

streets and crowds of mtfji stood bareheadedas th e procession passed by.

Jt was an incident akin to those religionsfestivals which brigliten many days in thecalendar of southern conntrie.s.

To take part in it amid th e gloomy !ion.sesof Clerkenwell was to he transported to someancient village in the Sabine Hills or one ofthe castell ated cities near Nemi.
