LIVING DANGEROUSLY

We here shouldn’t dream of making arrangements for as far ahead as Christmas. Wo never think beyond next month. Who can tell what may com© to us by then?” An experienced Englishman resident in Vienna, to whom X repeated that, said at once, “ That’s precisely the position. Thera you have in a sentence the whole position and outlook of Central Europe." It is as well to realise in what worlds other people not unlike ourselves ar» living.—“ Janus,” in the ‘Spectator.
