Letter From London
By A Special Correspondent
Londoners now speak of the air-raids na "To-night's Per- formance" and in fact the bombing is what the theatrical world would describe. ns. "Nightly-Sundays Included".
Despite the damage, the.. casualties and the human suffering, there still runs through the grey and stuff of it all a coloured thread spun from the smiles and the laughter-yes, the laughter- of the millions who stick t out.
Out of the Flanders mud of the last war arose Old Bill. I wonder if some such figure might not arise this time to represent the ordeal of Lon- don.
An air raid warden told me the following little incident that happened to him the other night, and it struck mo that it might inspire an artist who was creating a successor to Old Bill
The warden had been sum- moned to rescue two women from un upper floor. Tho stairs and lower floors had been destroyed by high ex- plosive. He called up to them, said he was going to put a ladder up to their window.
"Well," answered a female' voice from the dark above, "will you be very quiet please, hecopse, you sec, our cat's asleep, and he doesn't like atrangers!"
KING'S SYMPATHY
In the last war the King visited a number of the battlefields while the fighting was on. On this occasion, when the battle has come to all alike, the King has taken the Queen with him on visits to bombed areas. During a visit they paid to Northwest London the other day they stood on the edge of a big crater while a raid was in progress, watching the shells burating round the attackers, fighters in pursuit of a bom- ber formation.
Mr. and Mrs. Churchill made a tour by launch of the docks and for a fortnight or more, Minister of Health, Mal- colm MacDonald has been visiting public shelters during the night raids' to see what Improvements can be made. Every day, more and more mothers and children leave for the country.
Local shelters naturally tend to get the same crowd to- gether, night Efter night, and anow neighbourliness is growing. One of the "tube station shelters, Swiss Cot- tage, produces its own news bulletin, by means of a type- writer and duplicator. A col-, léction is taken each night at the rate of a penny a head, ́· from which a sum is deducted to buy additional equipmont. Dustbins, for instance, aro provided for the litter loft by shelterers.
Looking down the enter tainment column in a London dally paper doesn't take so niz now as it did. In one

A Nazi bomb reduced it to what you can sco in this picturo. All the worldly possessions of this little family—Mr. and Mrs. Harman, of London—are contained in the basket and three bundles thoy are carrying away with them.
