LIFE AT GENEVA.
INTERNATIONAL FLAVOUR. The international flavour of life at Geneva was illustrated by Professor Tocker when discussing the work of tho League of Nations in Christchurch. "An Indian delegate was entertaining a large party of guests," he said, " and as he had provided an orchestra he thought that they should dance, although they would sooner have continued smoking and talking, and the music played was by no means suitable for dancing. There was I, a New Zealander, the guest of an Indian potentate, giving up, the. joys of a West Indian cigar to dance American jazz with a Chinese woman, white a German string band played the ' Hungarian Rhapsody.'
