After describing his overwhelming impressions of his first big American intercollegiate football gamo, Mr. Langdon-Davies spoke of the danger of standardizing emotions as exemplified In the power exercised by the cheer leaders. The charm and humor of the speaker appealed to his youthful audience and held them for the short time he was speaking. He was introduced by Major-General Barnett, past commandant of the Marines, In turn introduced by J.

A. Young-blood, county superintendent of education. H. E. Spaulding, principal, presided.

Mrs. H. E. Bemis and Mrs. Irving Chases, his hostesses here, accompanied the speaker.

Mr. Langdon-Davies left last night for another lecture engagement In Savannah. He will return shortly to England where- he will spend some time writing, having in preparation two volumes, one a phllosopslcal work. "Spanish Catalans," on the or Tainting a picture of English system of education, John Langdon-Davles, author and lecturer, presented to high school students hero a fascinating contrast' between American and English schools, In an address "Wednesday afternoon. Mr.

Langdon-Davies appeared at the high school auditorium, under the patronage of a number of Palm Beach women, who had become interested In his views when he appeared here two years ago, and who wanted to give the youth of the community an opportunity to hear him. Through years of travel and lecture appearance In the United States, Mr. Langdon-Davies has Interested himself keenly In the system of education. The democracy of American education as compared to the aristocracy ot the English system was stressed by the speaker. In depicting English university life where there are no classes, no courses, no credits, he emphasized the fact that the university there is designed only He explained the emperor's failure to put it down by the fact that he did not believe in the perfidy of the leaders, that he did not wish to weaken the allied front and did not want to shed blood In civil warfare.

The speaker then sketched a picture of the dangers experienced by himself, his familv and his mothcr-ln- mt the CHAMBERLIN-VANDERBILT Just the place to acclimate yourself to a Northern uprlng. A new modern hotel on the historic peninsula fumed for more sunny days than the spas of Italy or France. A sojourn, here, within the rays of the southern sun yet cooled by ocean breezes will prepare you for the chill weather ot the North. Hays just seem to vanish as you ride, motor, explore the many historic early American spots, shoot, or golf on the New Hampton Bonds Course (designed by Donald Ross) and at night the social life of the Military and Naval stations close about, renter, in the hotel. A pleasant place to stay-plenty to do and see Vanderbilt service.

Grand Duke Alexander Michael-vlch, brother-in-law of the late czar, brought to a distinguished Palm Beach audience, gathered Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. E. a message of spiritual triumph over material misfortunes, of friendliness for America, and of unshakable belief that the soviet regime will not endure. "America Is the best place in which to prepare oneself for work," he said, "for the work in my country when the bolsheviks shall be overthrown." And for this reason he hopes that his youngest son will join the two already living In America at this time. Every inch the regal personage, the grand duko dominated his audience, and took but little Imagination to transport the distinguished figure with his grey hair, close clipped beard and tired eyes back to the date of splendor In the Romanoff regime.

But It was as a man, not a representative of the glory that was Russia that Grand Duke Alexander asked his audience composed of members of the Current Events Class to regard him. And from the depths of his experiences which he traced In his speech, "Out of My Life" he guve his convictions that through the loss of everything material, he hud found his soul. "If I should have the opportunity to return to Russia," he said, "it would be my desire to resume the powers and responsibilities from which I feel I have been rcleassd, but It would bo to work." Judging America from the standpoint who saw it first 36 years ago, Grand Duke Alexander decried the Idea that it was tending entirely towards materialism. The gre.it Interest in art and music which ho has found In this country, he on id, indicates a decided tendency in the right direction towards innate spirituality. The speaker sketched an Interesting picture of pre-war, wartime and Russia.

Much of his early life was spent on the sea, and it was his association with a sailor on one of the boats he commanded that led to the saving of his life by the sailor In the soviet regime. The grand duke made a three-year trip mound the world beginning in 1SS6, interesting himself in the lives and religions of the countries visited. In 1SD3 he made his first trip to America to extend thanks for American aid during the famine of 1831 and 1893 in Russia. The first intellectual revolution of 1903 was touched by the speaker, who stated that the great revolution of 1917 started as an intellectual one and ended with the betrayal of the Russian people while the emperor was with loyal troops at the front. if NOW OPEN BENJOES French Restaurant REAL CUISINE ROURGEOISE Lunch Dinner Table d'Hote Also A La Carte Special Friday, Bouilla Balsse MODERATE PRICES PREVAIL NO MUSIC, BUT GOOD FOOD Direction of Ben Phone 913 for those who want to learn, whereas In America a college education was often a matter of social prominence or business connections.

An American high school professor has to serve much as a nurserymaid and a policeman, he said, reverting to the fact that in America everyone goes In for secondary education regardless of personal tastes. After a fleeting mention of the excellence of American buildings and school equipment, the speaker gave American schools the fact that free education is offered to everyone up to 17 or 18, whereas after about 13 years In England, It Is up to the individual. The only, difficulty, he said, lay in the fact that "a little knowledge may be a dangerous thing," as peoplo here were more inclined to assert their right to beliefs, whereas In England fools were more Inclined to keep quiet. Mr. Langdon-Davies spoke in high terms of the American system of working one's way through college, something unknown in England.

At that time he went to Paris with the view to Interesting statesmen In the dangers of bolshe-vikism, but found no hearing. Denying that his stand against bolsheviklsm was not based on personal experience, he stated that It was a system based on shame, on immorality, on the killing of industrythat It is an enemy of civilization.

Bolsheviklsm is an enemy of the Russian people, he said, and for America to recognl.e the soviet government would be for America to put its hand against the Russian people. At tho close of the address, as a surprlso to Grand Duke Alexander, Bernardo Ohlshansky, Russian baritone, who sang before him In Russia years ago, sang a group of Russian songs, Including the "Volga Boatmen" and a folk dance.

Admitting that "in the eyes of a very large num bw of people I am not only a bright young person, but the leader of all the bright young people," Miss Eliza beth Ponsonby has come forward with a public defense of those gay members of the younger society set of Mayfalr whose sensational ac tivities have been the "talk or the town." I In an Interview, she declared the gaieties of the so-called "bright young people" were due merely to an attempt to escape tne ooreoom of society, and added: "I may seem to be unwillingly a bright young person. But on, reflection I see that It gives one a purpose in life. "I travel In buses simply In order to see old men shake their heads over me when they read about 'bright young people: latest stunt! revel in Insult. I crow when I hear old ladles disapprove. 'Disgusting, I calls they say, shaking their heads over their evening newspapers.

'Decadent, that's what I says. What are we coming to nowadays and "That part of It I love." Miss Ponsonby first came Into the limelight of publicity through her leadership of a "pyjama and bottle party," at which all guests appeared in pyjamas and brought a bottle along with them. Her next public exploit was tha staging of a "bathing and bottle party" at tho St. George Baths. The guests came to this party In the latest mode In bathing costumes, and, of course, brought the usual bottle along.

Her latest appearance caused an explosion In the London press only a few days ago when Miss Ponsonby played the part of the bride In a mock wedding which the "bright young people" staged at a fashionable "West End restaurant. Although a daughter of Arthur Ponsonby, under-secretary for foreign affairs in Ramsay MacDonald's labor government, the self-confessed leader of the. "bright young people" goes gaily on her way, seemingly oblivious of any embarrassment she may be causing her father's sponsorship of the labor cause in England, The result of the Goddard case has wrought a striking change in the night lifo of the West End. That case-resulting in the sentencing to prison of Luigi, and "Mother Merrick," two of the most notorious figures in London night life has about sounded the death knell of the night clubs. One club after another has either closed down, or been closed.

Many owners have been either deported or sent to prison, and those left are figuring ways and means ot making a living. An investigation has disclosed that there are now less than six active night clubs doing business in London. This is because the night club proprietors are trapped. If they do not offer champagne at all hours, their patrons stay away. If they do, the police soon intervene.

The Duke and Duchess of York are going to Sweden to attend the wedding on March 21 ot the Crown Prince of Norway to Princess Martha ot Sweden. The English royal couple will represent King George and Queen Mary at the wedding. In the interim between now and the Sweden trip, the duke and duchess are to fill a number of engagements in London as representatives of the king and queen. They Will attend the benefit performance for the variety artists' benevolent fund on March 7. It also has been decided that the Duke of Gloucester, third son of the king and queen, will visit Japan in May to bestow the Order of the Greater on the Jauanese emperor on behalf of Kings George.

The date provisionally fixed for his departure is March. 29. The Prince of Wales already has been deputizing for his 111 father. A few days ago he held an official reception in the private drawing room of his official residence at York House in St. James Palace.

His distinguished visitors included Sir Les lie Wilson, governor of Bombay; Sir Basil Blackett, finance member of the executive council of the govern or-general of India; and Rear Admiral A. D.

1 UNMAN, Jr, Universal Service Special Cable Taris, Feb. 27. Americans arc leading the rebellion against the prevalence of the Continental mode of sombre black, judging from tho gatherings of fashionable Amei leans at such centers as the Ritz or Giro's. "While black continues to hold sway, some relief is found in flashes of scarlet, vermillion and other colors sponsored by American women. Generally speaking, frocks must be composed mostly of black depending on the cut and line and draping for their special effect.

Once In a while there is something in a green color that goes especially we with blonde beauty, such as Mrs. Jay O'Brien, just returned from St. Moritis. Mrs. O'Brien was lunching the other day at C'iro'a in a green fpon costume over which she wore a double-breasted tweed coat and the inevitable fox fur to soften and set off the effect.

At another table was Mrs. Claude Graham White, with the Countesse Georgio, formerly of San Francisco. These two also wore the popular Breitswartz coats trimmed with fox. For evening dinners at the Hily. Mis.

Graham While held up the tradition of black with (he new deralletage U-shaped and very low in the back and square cut in front. In the same category was Mrs. Louis llronifield's frock from "Worth- Mrs. Bromfield Is the wife of the famous American novelist, and they have just returned from the winter sports in Switzerland. She signalized her reappearance by wearing a gold chiffon evening frock trimmed with gold beads.

The dress had long panelings in front and back, ending in points, and the princess line. Like Mrs. Graham White's frock, the low dccolletage was U-shaped in back and square in front. Another rebel against black Is the former Alice Silveithrone, of Chicago, perhaps better known to fame as the Countess de Janze. A year and a half ago at a railway station here she shot Captain de Trafford and wounded herself.

Both recovered. Both appeared at Chez Victor's this week, though with different parties. Captain de Trafford arrived later than the countess, and it was soon evident that he and the countess would ignore each other. Alice showed herself partisan to both black and colors, relieving her dark evening frock with a brightly colored chiffon scarf charmingly knotted around the throat, an effect previously confined to sport FRENCH Private and Class Teaching Mine.
