The £20,000 oa which. he was so hopefully building to start a new life was as definitely out of this reach as if it were in the bank' vaults, and he, but for the few odd pounds he had about him, was a pauper.

Stunned almost by the appalling tragedy of his situation, his brain for a space refused service. He looked blankly, miserably, through the cab window at the dismal fog through which the taxi was slowly crawling to Euston. Euston Sta- tion, he thought, must be close at hand, but of what use now was it to continue his journey there?

This remark is, in extremely au-1 perficial, way, perfectly true, since the number of unemployed men is about the same as the number of employed women (both married and single). You could, in a tech- nick sense and for ve minutes, ábolish unemployment among men by giving them he women's jobs.
