My Children

War
"ARE these my evacua
tion marks, Dackly," ks my smallest daughter, sitting up in her cot,
She points proudly to the three white patches on her uper arm which she has re- cently discovered and which show that at the beginning of her four-year-old life she was vaccinated.
"Daildy." asks my eight- year-old daughter as she waits in her Brownie unie and shorts at the top of the stairs. for a pick-a-buck down into the hall. "do they have camp- fires in consecration camps ?"
At the bottom of the stairs my ten-year-ok daughter has a question for me, too-im- probable, but suggestive,
"Is Stallion," she wants to know, "the mayor of Russia?"
So, you see, war as a topic of conversation has taken a firm hold of the Fletcher nursery, if only 83 raw material for my children's supremely productive question factory.

It's a strange and silly place for children to live in, this world we grown-ups have shaped-or failed to shape otherwise-for them.
But as these children of mine enjoy themselves at school, quar- rel and play, sing and dance, paint pictures and stumble. over Bach, plele, ride their bicycles, or make posics of wild flowers, they are making the best of what time they

WITHOUT WOMEN
Lord Lothian
He is our Ambassador in Washington and he is without a chatelaine. Nobody who. knows him would deny that he brings ideal qualities to his great task.
Handsome, sociable, widely- travelled, skilled in the art of negotiation, our Ambassador was an inspired choice for a delicate mission.
But I should feel happier if there were a Lady Lothian to grace the drawing-room at the Embassy. A diplomat's triumphs are not always won over the conference table.
One has only to meet Lady Lorine (Rome). Lady Lamp- son (Egypt) and Lady Camp- bell (Paris) to understand how much some of our Am- bassadors owe to the charm of their wives..
Sir Novile Henderson He is another bachelor who is now retired from the Diplo matic Service. Of his talents and distinguished achievement there can be no doubt.
