THE PINK CITY.
The crowds who went to the Anglo-American Exhibition at Shepherd's Bush on May 16th found that the White City is white no longer, but pink. That is the worst of these handy nick- name. It is just so that time has given the lie to the Twopenny Tube (which is now several prices) and the Bakerloo(which runs from Paddington to the Elophunt).
