London Described as Larger; Older, Finer Boston; But Lacks Youthful Enthusiasm of New York

DIVORCE CASE OF NINETEEN-YEAR-OLDS HALTED AS WIERD TALES STARTLE COURT

By VICTOR MN AUGHT.

ONDON, Feb. 6. (Special Correspondence) In' this article I hope to picture for the reader at home something of the- life in London, as it is going today. Try to imagine a much

larger, older , ana liner Boston, with Its crooked streets filled with Canadian and Anzac soldiers on leave. Jostling along good naturedly among the quiet reservant townspeople. Visualize the news vendors with their afternoon-papers, most of which are about the size and shape of Mr. Bryan's "Commoner"; papers which are displaying without criticism news stories about Secretary Daniels' plans for a . fleet of electrically propelled superdreadnaughts. Past shop windows profusely dressed with small articles skurry uniformed messenger boys with little round caps perched rakishly over one ear, or khaki-clad girls in pants and puttees. Include In the picture a very few American civilians, thoroughly enjoying the kindness and hospitality of English cousins who have forgotten that folk from the States ' were once smiled at as "provincials." You may also keep in your mind's eye an occasional Yankee soldier, going about quietly and helping thus to build up the new tradition that Americans can be, and probably are, well-behaved and efficient. The theatres are doing a capacity business every night. That the public taste is coming around to things American may be gathered from the number of plays now an view here that have previously appeared in New York. A few of them are "Nothing but the Truth," "Fair and Warmer," "Coins: Ud." "The Lilac Domino," and

"Charley'B Aunt." Elsie Janis is starring in "Hullo, America' The chief song hit in the leading musical comedy success, "The Boy," is borrowed from "Have a Heart." a Broadway success

of a year or two ago. In the principal act, the scene is laid in a cabaret in London, on "American night," with all the chorus dressed as cowgirls, Uncle Sams and Stars and Stripes girls. FURTHER CONCESSIONS TO AMERICAN TASTE The hotels and restaurants have also made further concessions to American taste, or lack of it, by installing jazz orchestras and banjo bands. A big restaurant is advertising a series of American balls. These things are not being done to attract Americans, because the number of our countrymen in London now is too small to justify any such effort. The explanation lies in the fact that London purveyors of amusement have come to the conclusion that the English people are interested in America and all things pertaining to America. That the London public is pleased may be taken as one more bit of evidence of the growing feeling of good will for us. So far as the visitor can see, London on the whole is very gay and light hearted. Great as was the feeling of relief In America when the war ended, it was naturally far greater here, where the people have had to suffer more than most Americans realize. Prices are high in London; fully as high as in New York for most things, and higher for many. The good old days of buying articles of excellent value for very moderate figures are gone, perhaps forever. The quality of English-made clothing is as genuine as ever, but one can buy as cheaply at home in America. The newspapers print articles every day or two warning of still higher prices, saying that the present wholesale prices are as high as prevailing retail prices for stocks bought a few months ago. SUGAR AND BUTTER SCARCE AND HIGH Many articles of food are scarce. Even in the best hotels there is no cream for coffee. Neither is there sugar. The waitresses carry around in the pockets of their aprons little bottles of sacchrine pills, and the guest who desires to sweeten his coffee ia given two or three of these pills for the purpose. Butter is doled out sparingly. White bread is more plentiful, but most meats are scarce and all are dear. Americans here have uncomplainingly put up with higher railroad fares and curtailed service during the war, but their sacrifices amount to nothing when compared to those of England and France. The present first-class

fare from London to Edinburgh, 322

miles, is about $21, or between six and seven cents a mile. There are no day trains at all between London and Edinburgh on Sunday,- and so many other Sunday trains have been cut off on various lines that one is hardly able to get about at all except on week days. Sleeping car accommodations are booked a week ahead, so limited are they. One sees no soliciting for public funds on the streets. When the writer left New York In the middle of December, constant efforts were being made to raise money for relief funds of various sorts, all of course praise

worthy and entitled to consideration. My conclusion may be superficial, but it would appear that .Americans are much more energetic In the way of providing entertainment and relief for men in the service. FEW FLAGS SEEN IN BRITISH CAPITAL. Ever since America entered the war the streets in New York and other large American cities have been bright with the national colors and with the flp.gs of all the allies. . Such decorations are almost totally lacking in London. When President Wilson visited in England he was greeted with a fine display of flags, American and British, but they were taken down when he left All of which is further evidence cf the tempermental differences betwen the British people, sedate and undemonstrative, and the Americans, who like to give expression to high spirits and enthusiasm. Transportation is still cheap in London, although curtailed on account of tho shortage of men. An average ride in a 'bus costs one or two pennies. A taxi ride from one point to another in the central part of the cjty costs not more than a shilling and two pence or a shilling and sixpence, or from thirty to forty cents. The taxicab drivers are courteous and pleasant, and the good and cheap service they give discourages the visitor

from walking about and hunting the places he wishes to find. Girls in uniform,- clad in trousers or very short skirts, are to be seen everywhere, and the interesting garb which immediately arrests the attention of strangers, passes absolutely without notice among the townspeople, who of course became accustomed to it long ago. These girls serve as 'bus conductors, Royal Air Force assistants, Wacks, window washers, messengers, ambulance drivers, and in a number of other capacities. It is a common sight to observe a pretty, clear-

skinned,' pink cheeked girl skimming past on a motorcycle with a side car containing a soldier as a passenger. All of the girls go about their work in a business-like way, and seme entirely unconscious of their sex. Recently there has been a disposition on the part of staid Britons to write letters to the editors of the daily papers, urging that girls be relieved from their work as 'bus conductors on the ground that such hard, unsuitable work was robbing them of their femininity. As soon as the army Is demobilized the girls will be replaced by men conduct

ors, but In the meantime the general public Is disposed to think that the girls are all right, as they undoubted

ly are. ' ' BRITISH'WOMEN ARE INVETERATE SMOKERS. , Cigaret smoking has become a very common practice among English girls and women since the outbreak Of the war, and in any smart restaurant or hotel dining room the girls who are not sen puffing away at after-dinner cigarets are in the minority. Out of say fifty girls or women, one may count about five who are not smoking. Common as the practice has become, the stranger gets an occasional start when he sees a bright-eyed young woman in a nun-like costume of dark blue smoking n cigaret in a hotel lobby. On inquiry he finds that she is a nurse. The problem of feminine unemployment has become an interesting one since the cessation of hostilities shut down many munition plants. It 13 estimated that betwen 150,000 and 200,000 women workers are now idle in Great Britain from the cause referred to, and the government is paying them millions in unemployment benefits. A large proportion! of these women were formerly employed in laundries or in domestic service, but they do not wish to go back. So, while laundries and housewives are begging for help they are allowed to beg in vain, while the women wait for the government to find jobs for them in factories. The Northcliffe papers, which are always, up to something or other, are now scolding the government for its slowness in demobilizing the , army. This is a popular crusade, as the soldiers wish to get home, and their families and old employers want them back. The war office remonstrates that peace has not yet been signed and the Hun may need further attention before he is willing to stay put, but this rather reasonable plea fails to convince tho restless ones.
