Instead, she rented the Marquess of Salisbury's London home in Grafton Street, Mayfair. Much of the vital work of the Helena Rubinstein organization still passes her eyes for approval or review. Mention has been made of the many offers of help that this young couple has received.

Malta boasts of being under the domination of the Phoenicians, Greeks and Carthaginians. In these wars, Malta was won and lost several times, but finally the Maltese islands came under the control of the victorious Romans, and its inhabitants were brought under the influence of Roman civilization. Sicily and Malta shared the same fate, and in the year 870 AD. both islands fell into the hands of the Arabs.

Historians say that after Count Roger had liberated the Arabian islands and was determined to bring the holy war to Jerusalem, the Maltese asked him for a sign. In 1530, he ceded the islands to the religious and military order of the Knights Hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem.

FOYS (W.A.) IN SEARCH OF TALENT
34;Where there are colors, there is life.” Admittedly, this is not a particularly profound statement, but just imagine how dull and depressing this world would be without the presence of colors.
