My Children

tion marks, Daddy,' asks my smallest daughter, sitting up in her cot.

She points proudly to the three white patches on her uper arm which she has re- cently discovered and which show that at the beginning of her four-year-old life she was vaccinated.

"Daddy," asks my eight- year-old daughter as she waits. in her Brownie tunic and shorts at the top of the stairs for a pick-a-back down into the hall, "do they have camp- fires in consceration camps?" At the bottom of the stairs my ten-year-old daughter has n question for me, too-im- probable, but suggestive.

"Is Stallion," she wants to know, "the mayor of Russia ?"

So, you see, war as a topic of conversation has taken a firm hold of the Fletcher nursery, if only material for my children's supremely productive question factory.

Garden Plans

And ten-year-old Joy, who has never heard of Voltaire, neverthe- less follows the advice of that magnificently sensible Frenchman, and cultivates her garden.

She organised family compell- tion (which I won) for the best lay-out of flowers for her private patch.

Now she waits confidently for summer to bring her seeds to bloom.

It's a strange and silly place for children to live in, this world we grown-ups have shaped-or failed to shape otherwise for them,

But as these children of mine enjoy themselves at school, quar- rel and play, sing and dance, paint pictures and stumble over Bach, plenie, ride their bicycles, or make posics of wild flowers, they are making the best of what time they

have left to be carefree.

WITHOUT WOMEN

Lord Lothian

He la our Ambassador in Washington and he is without a chatelaine, Nobody who knows him would deny that he brings ideal qualities to his great task.

Handsome, sociable, widely- travelled, skilled in the art of negotiation, our Ambassador was an inspired choice for a delicate mission.

But I should feel happier if there were a Lady Lothian to grace the drawing-room at the Embassy. A diplomat's triumphs are not always won over the conference table.

One has only to meet Lady Loraine (Rome), Lady Lamp- son (Egypt) and Lady Camp- bell (Paris) to understand how much some of our Am- bassadors owe to the charm of their wives..

Sir Novile Henderson He is another bachelor who is now retired from the Diplo- matic Service. Of his talents and distinguished achievement there can be no doubt.

"Go ahead, Champ

This good-looking, debonair Old Etonian now retires to his crowded memories of service in many lands,

He has his faithful dog. His aunt's delightful house in Lincolnshire is always open to him.

He is still young and active enough to enjoy the pursuits he loves-huntin', shootin' and fishin',

But are there not times when he sighs for a wife in his retreat "to whom he may whisper, 'Solitude is sweet'"?

There is a joy in sharing memories that few bachelors know.

Leslie Hore-Delisha

He owes much to the guid- ing hand of a mother who was both a pal and an inspiration.

At twenty-eight he was an M.P., Secretary for War at forty-three.

Unlike so many bachelors, he does not vow eternal celi- bacy. He says that he doesn't demand beauty, rank or wealth in his wife. "But my

ideal must be adaptable.

Only, I believe, if he trends the confelli trail,, His restless spirit and too-rapid rise have made him many enemies. A clever wife might do much to smooth his path. Hore-Belisha has always modelled himself on Disraeli. But Dizzy never tired of ac- knowledging what he owed to hir beloved Mary Anne. ...

R. C. Sharriff

At forty-four, he

has enough money to keep family in comfort without writing another word.

"Journey's End" staggered the world. It earned its author £3 a word, and, possi- bly, undying fame. But is he a one-pay man?

I'd hate to believe that. "Journey's End" revealed a burning sincerity, acule pay- chology and superb sense of the theatre.

Since then, R. C. has done a good play about Nupoleon, a few so-so novels-competent

Mind you, I'd lay dollars to dough-nuts that one day he will tire of living alone and liking it!

Slim, athletic, charmingly -boyish, he still has the manner and outlook of a young man. Remember that he thought it worth his while to go up to Oxford when he was thirty- fivo.

He still seems anxious to renew the youth that was in- terrupted by the Great War.

One day Sherriff will settle down. Then, I prophesy, the world will be presented with a play as moving and enduring as "Journey's End.".
