ALL is for the best, if we will only accept the astral conclusions of that inspired Mayfair prophetess, seer, clairvoyant and Weird Sister, the Marshiness of Swamp, writes a British columnist.
After 36 hours with a triplex crystal, two bowls of silver sand, a pack of bezique cards, a divining-rod, tea-leaves, a roulette-wheel and four bottles of vermouth, the old harridan predicts that:
Shirley Temple and Joe Stalin will save humanity from itself; Spain will transfer its London Embassy to Whitehall, in order to establish a rival Seville Service; Human nature will be abolished early in 1941 by a Private Members' Bill; British heavyweight boxers will sign a collective non-aggression pact; A new call to the Higher Thought will sweep the country, sponsored by a Miss Eleanor Flitch, of Devizes; Wembley Stadium will have its Maginot Line of concrete and steel gun turrets to guard against Cup Final gate-crashers.
