LONDON IN THE FOURTH YEAR OF WAR
The cheerfulness of London in the fourth year of war is very marked. It is gayer by day, to be sure, than at night, for parties are largely sinalt luncheon parties. Nothing could be more animated and bustling than the fashionable restaur ants where tables are not to be had unless they have been booked beforehand. Here, soldiers on leave entertain their relations and friends, the women sombrely dressed, but wearing priceless fura and pearls, the vast white rooms blurred a little with the winter murkiness of London, but starred and circled with soft electric) lights. The dishes, fewer in number an in years gone by, aro exquisitely cooked, and deftly served by waiters of vague nationality. Each little table has its atmosphere; here there is the rapture of re-union, sonder the tragedystoically concealed -- of departure to the Front; close by two charming young creatures, he in klaki and she in short skirts and fur cap, are obviously just about to en bark on the adventure of a war marriage. The bridegroom, in peace-time, world be at Sandhurst or spending his first term at Oxford, the girl would hardly be out in society To-day, he has already been wounded, while she is driving a motor- Car for the Royal Flying Corps-the ambition of every young girl. They are little more than children, and no one present, however cynical, can look on them without a certain emotion,
Turning out of these restaurants into the streets and making your way, on foot, to theatre land, you are struck by the enormous numbers of soldiers from all the Kings Dominions. The streets are brown with them, and you rub elbows with soldiers, not only from England, Scotland and Wales, but with Australas ians, Canadians, and South Africans. And already those stalwart Americans, with their quaint hata and broad shoulders, are seen in London streets, always evoking a friendly look or com Lent from the populace The English speaking races are at last one, and nothing, humanly speaking, can ever sunder them or shake their solidarity. The future of civilization is safe in their keeping.

The theatres. of London are cramined Wough, owing to the suppression of private motor cars and the absence of taxi-cabs, prefer tho matinees. At night, you see soldiers, allosa, airmen and their more adven turous feminine friend, and numbers of manufacturers from Sheffield, Birmingham and Glasgow who were not so much in evidence before the War. The shops, too, are crowded, and there is a superfluity of articles of luxury; superb furs, jewel. lery, evening dresses of brocade or tulle, hot-house flowers and fruit antique furniture and bibeloty dil finding ready purchasers. Tea, butter and sugar may be hard to come by, petrol for private motoring forbidden, yet nothing will pre vent the light-hearted Londoner fron buying beautiful and expensive things, Britain's trade and credit are kept up, and the amazing spectacle is seen, in the fourth year of wanaf a revenue equal to thay of 1913,

of English life and some foreign observeta- thought, when payment of Members of Parliament was introduced as a conces sion to the Labour Party, that it would put an end to public work without re- ward. That this was a fallacy has been proved again and again in the war. Members of Parliament, with their £400 a year could easily be dispensed with during this supreme crisis, and many of them are of this opinion having joined the Army, and gone to the Front, and lost their lives or limbs. The middlə aged of England, both men and women alike. have shown themselves singularly- patriotic. They are doing tiresome Red Crons accounts, wrapping up prisoners food parcels, sorting out unpleasant old cloths for destitute Serbians, Belgions, Poles and Armeniaus, serving on Pen- sions Committees and looking after dis charged soldiers. It is not these people. who crowd the smart restaurants and hotels, buy stalls at the theatre or expen sive clothes and ornaments, for unless they have some young relative home on leave they lead the quietest lives, are strictly economical in every way and often shut up half their bouses to save fuel, lights and servants wages. These people have none of the pleasures and few of the comforts to which they have been accus tomed yet no class is so quietly cheerful and perfecty determined to “ carry on until the war is won.
