reporter the other day that it is months since he has had an order for a new suit of evening clothes. One would have expected this, for in a time of severe economy evening dress is one of the luxuries most easily dis- pensed with, as are those large parties at which men in the black-and- white of evening dress look so much more agree- able than in the clothes they wore at lunch.
Apart from this, even- ing dress is the uniform of pleasure in a world rich in superfluities or, at least, in a society rich in superfluities, and is, there- fore, symbolic of some- thing at variance with the spirit of the hour.
I hope, however, that the disappearance of even- ing dress is only tempor- ary, that it will return with the return of peace, children and that will live to see

To have sport at its best you must have uniforms. I remember some years ago going to a football match in Galway in which one of the players played in his bare feet. Even this small de- clension from the regulation costume of the game made one feel that this was not football up to the Charles Buchan standard.
The genius of golf, it is said, has survived the dis- appearance of the scarlet coats that used to make it so lovely a game among the sandhills; but I cannot. help thinking that golf would have evolved into still greater per-

If, then, uniform is so im- portant in work and in sport, is it not reasonable to believe that it is equally important in social life?

The pleasure the eye re- celves from uniforms will be admitted at once by anyone who has ever watched cricket' at Lord's.

Opera at Covent Garden could scarcely have survived unless many people have been willing to pay large sums of money, not to listen to music, but for the pleasure of seeing a crowd of men and women in evening dress.

This book makes mince- meat of the Communists and their self-righteous claim to be the workers' only friends. Indeed, it suggests that they are no friends of the worker at all.

In September, 1989, in a pamphlet called "How to Win the War, Harry Pollitt said: "To stand aside from this conflict, to contribute only re- volutionary-sounding phrases while the Fascist beasts ride rough shod over Europe, would be a betrayal of every- thing
