“Comrade” Cynthia

Setting Too Drab For Her Beauty ENTER Lady Cyntliia. At 8 o’clock the President of the Reichstag was already in his place. The Chancellor and his Ministers were in their pew. The seats of the members of the Reichstag were occupied by a full assembly of men and women with high brows (writes the “Daily Mail” correspondent, on the subject of Lady Cynthia Mosley’s recent visit to Berlin). Most of the seats in the public gallery were empty. A door at the side of the President’s seat was opened and there entered Lady Cynthia Mosley. The men and women with high brows bent forward to look at the famous champion of the proletariat, and they had something for their pains, for Lady Cynthia looked more lovely than ever. She was in an evening frock of grey tissue with a rich grey cloak, and round her neck she wore a string of pearls. Ermine Shawl Slowly and with an air which a great actress might envy, she went to the place assigned to her, followed by her husband and Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, who was to give a lecture. As she sat down her shawl of snowy ermine fell from her graceful shoulders. Yet it seemed to me that the Reichstag was too drab a setting for such beauty and elegance. Lady Cynthia seemed to be more in her element when 1 saw her later In the luxurious hall of the Hotel Adlon. Mr. Ramsay MacDonald had been brought to Berlin to speak to the audience got together by the Committee for International Discussion, which was founded by a couple of foreign journalists of no sort of importance.
