THINGS PEOPLE LOSE
A SNAKE, THREE VILLAS · AND A WORKHOUSE
London. Three villas and a work house are now waiting for their owners in the Lost Property Offies of London railway terminus,
The keepers of the Lost Property Offices are phlegmatic mea, used to guarding anything from a turkey to n rusty motor-bicycle. At Christ- mas they are embowered in holly, They collect Christmas trees and poultry. They expect to receive hats and gloves and watches. They do not flicker an eyelid at a bunch
of bank notes.
But three villas and a workhouse come very rarely indeed. They will go down in railway records side by side with the thirty-gallon cistern, the vacuum cleaner, and the live sunko: three of the things with which bewildered cloakroom officials have had to grapple in recent years. The house property in question, is
not solid bricks and mortar. It is a stage set, painted rather crudely, and belongs no doubt, to some tour ing pantomime or revue. Its owners must have grown tired of it during the journey, for they left it in the van, and fit is now resting dejected- ly, far from the footlights, in u thicket of forgotten bats and stick; and coats and gloves.
Apart from this, the Lost Proper ty Offices at the main London ter- mini, and at the St. James's Park Underground Station, report a quiet Christmas. Although to some people a railway journey is still a sleep and a forgetting, few have distinguished themselves this year by leaving behind more than the orthodox stick or coat.
Plies of Poultry.
Indeed, much of the property now in store remains there because it is what the Post Office would call "insufficiently addressed in other words, because it has no label or direction of any kind.
The offices have many unlabelled turkeys, geese, fowls, and pleasants -perishable goods" that are sold unless claimed in a few days. They also have shores of walking sticks, piles of suitenges, and umbrollas of all sorts, sizes, and conditions, some going back, one imagines, to the time of Jonas Hanway himself.
Other property includes a con- signment of small Christians trècs," tbox of chrysanthemums, and n sack containing 18 holly wreaths, The offices could do an excellent business in gloves and mackin.
toshes.
