I arrived at Euston. I drove from Euston through Bloomsbary, through Rad Llon-street into Holborn. There I saw Bairey Gamp. At the corner I saw Bill Sikes, Pancks was collecting his rents, Puffing like a grampus. I saw Little Dorrit, looking into a fish shop,

I was told all these years that I was far off dreaming of my London, putting haloes round it, that London and disap peared, that it was a city of marble Palaces that my old haunts back of the Law Courty had been torn down to make magnificent avenue called the Kingsway, which had been crashed through; that a busy,

bustling metropolitan highway had takon the place of the dark dingy courts. and alloyways.

UNCHANGED, UNCHANGING.

I come back. It is true that here and there I see that London has had a brush up and wash and a shave, but under those frills and embroideries I find my Dickens Pa Pa More

What is it? I have been in New York, where you only hear the English languago asa sidan dish. I come into London I bear bothing but English, London Eng lish, Dickens English!

WHAT IS A WIFE WORTH?

The writer, a legal expert, has assessed the economic vales of a wifs in the fol lowing article.

"Five shillings! That's all she's worth.' This was the assessment de the 2ber day by a husband when required by the polico magistrate to provide an allowance for his wife.

Let me figure this out. She is first of all, the housekeeper. In all wenthers sne buy, in the market the requirements of the household and carries her load home. She cleans the house from top to bottom, and everything within it. That is a job for which people nowadays demand at least £30 a year and board and lodging.

Then sh cook every atom of food con- sumed in the house. She does it mora- doon, and night, with no evenings Feople who take on that sort of job.are aking today anything from per anan, and live in TOI Then she is nurse to the children even when there are six, oven, or eight of them. What's that job worth to-day! I put it down as low as £30 and her board And lodging.

How much is that worth ft Shall I say. £20 per anaum? And in the not also the laundress for the family 1
