LONDON'S, DAZZLE SIGYS,
JAZZ ILLUMINATIONS WHICH SHAME THE MOON.
THE CHINA MAIL.
Now that darkness overtakes dinner again, and summer-time is about to flee before the encroaching stars, habitues of the West End are beginning to complain of a terrible affliction, remarks a London paper. | It is an old one, which seems to grow in virulence with the Peace. It it! London's St. Vitus's dance of jazz | luminaries which shout soap, cigaret tes, cough cures, baby foods, and unrighteous liquors from the house- tops. The cumulative effect (writes an Observer correspondent) is about as distressing as a vorticist veralibrist 04 a tab-top with a megaphone accompanied by an unemployed riot.
The Regent Street corner of Pic- cadilly-circus is enough to give anyone a bad attack of asterisks. An electric motor car keeps racing a violent red- and-yellow clock overhead. Whirring wheels kick up the dust; the ladies' bat-scarf fashes luridly in the wind. It is the "Ride of the Valkyries"" translated into vacuum bulbs. Next to it an otherwise harmless baby food, suffering sadly from shell-shock, keeps twitching out in greens, purples, GRACA & 00.,
mauves, and blues. Above that a Dealers in Postage Stamps, Toys, crimson bottle flashes streams of port Garden Seeds, Pictorial Post Cards, &c.into a yellow wineglass. Such a No. 10, Wyndham Street, lamentable waste of good medicine! 1. O. Box 620,
Such an ordeal, too, for poor little Eros, who seems to want to flee with the rest of us into the unspoilt night of Piccadilly!

Cambridge-circus is ablaze with flaming, windy braziers and a wind- fluttered flag, so that as you approach from Shaftesbury-avenue you think there is a house on fire. And there is a galaxy of frenzied lettering which gives you the blinks. At the top of the Charing Cross Road the night is rent by forked lightning. Leicester équare has a green river of tears flowing about a safety-razor adver- tisement.

languid affair. The Strand is virginal until we come to the Waterloo Bridge corner; beyond the bridge are the Bottle and the Bibulous Jock.

In Zurich the citizens seem content to sit in café gardens by their swift- flowing Limmat, and watch the spate and shimmer of water under the stars or moon, and the venerable shape of the old Munster dark against the night sky.
