Every cent under that price is profit to you. They are all made by Coppley, Noyes & Ra.?hd&ll and are made as good eclothes should be. The reason I am selling them at these surprisâ€" ll:s flfiu‘es is that the material ordered for me was late in comâ€" ing from the Old Country. All the stuff was bought at the old prices, before the big advance.

They are so thick you car hardly cross a street, so they have underground sidewalks from one side lof the street to the other. e We had the Maple Leaf Club i | view, so we got on a bus and about | 745 p.m. we landed at the club. Un | fortunately the place was filled up | but one of the soldiers took us down | to a barber shop where we got put up for the night. Vivian and I had | room to ourselves and a double bed. | We paid the host 1s. 9d. for each 0 | us and we beat it out for some eats, ' as we were tres fain or as hungry as bears. a § / , As you know they have very few lights in London on account of the air raids. It was quite dark and as al the blinds were down, we had qi :‘3- a time to find a place to eat. . ‘ first place we struck they had nothing but fancy crackers, etc., so we did no j stop there long. We went out and walked till we found a sign reading "Dinners and Suppers Served H¢ ’ In we went, and what do you "jg we run into? Well, it was of the fancy â€" highâ€"class dining _ saloons, where officers and very wealthy peo ple gather at meal time to satisfy their empty frames. Well, a good soldieir never retre ts, so we boldly struted up to the table and hung our caps up and pushed ou chests out, just to let our frien ’:‘ the nearby tables know we are from Canada,. As they say "those bally C ,;' adians are a bit classy." You know what eating at these xind of plac »,_,,,‘.;?t:; like and after 11 months soldiering, eating any blame thing any way ‘:,- then coming down to this all of a sud den. You know that thumb and fore finger movement and nibbling aWay. Everything was brought in on sHve trays and we had about five '?’: and forks and spoons and oh fancy stuff. As I said afterwards I never ate so much and had so little in al my life. Here the men and women SIOKe cigarettes and drink wine, but We did not have the rich scented cigaretles and champagne. The orchestr& Playâ€" ‘ed all the time and after finisming our meal we beat it back to our B@ven of rest. . We . The next morning we went Uup and saw the guard mount at Buekingham Palace. That is where the big £€old braids shine, and where soldiering is soldiering.

You can‘t hear the preacher 8t all half way back. Lovely music and beautiful carvings. Well we got off our train first on the London Bridge and changed for the train to Charing Cross stati You talk about crowds. Well 1 can say this, that when we get back to Canâ€" ada, we will be able to go around the crowds on the corners of King and James Streets, in Hamilton, agleep. Soldiers from the front; from the Dardanelles and from all over Engâ€" land, in for the weekâ€"end and civies the same. are elevated quite a bit, and ag. all the roofs are pretty much the 5 7 as far as you could see there was a sea of houses.

So if you get a number of cards you‘ll understang the. reason I‘ll always try and write you when it is possible to do so There ig on‘y one chap and myself here now so you Sée we were pretty baily cut up. But such is the glory of war. That is to say we made a charge on to the Germans front line trench. We lost both _ killed and woundeg, But yours truly escaped withOut as much as a scratch, & I will admit that I was a@a liitin fnerve shaken, but when I tell you that I had to lHe in a shellâ€"hole in no : mans land 15 yards from the Germans ; trench for i2 hours, you‘ll readily see why that was the case. The reaâ€" Â¥s0n I was there was si‘nply because !the German snipers were at work all day and I had to stay in there until [ darkness came, There was four of us there to besin with, the other three g0t picked off trying to nake our own linesg in the day time. So I considered it good policy to stay there waiting dusk. I got back alrignt and then holp. ed three othér woun@ed men back. 1 and another chap. 1 never was so thankful to see a Britishers face beâ€" fore and I thank God that‘I am able to write to you now.

Westminster Abbey was another building that my humble eyes gazed on, only to be dazzled by the mystic wonder of ancient architecture. I sent you a book of same, and it will talk to you better than my pen can. Well, as usual, we had other things that interested us, such as a hurryâ€"up ride on a motor bus with two decks, having a lady conductor to take your fares. When the first one approached me, saying, "Fares, please," I thought she took the cake. A girlie about 15 years conductor. But they always told us where to go, and so on very nicely. Well we visited the Museums, and here again we saw some very wonderâ€" ful sight. Such things are shown here as would not be seen in any other part of the world. Really, Dad, the buildings alone would stagger any of our modern Canadian architects. For they are all built on the old Roman and French designs.. Walls covered with carvimgs and statues. _ Ceiling and> domes from 75 to 125 ft. high. Beautiful balconies. You know our chequer board. Well, I saw a table in the Indian Section of the Naiural Art Museum, that was made as follows: The table was of Mahogany and the squares were inlaid (hand) with high ly polished ivory. The men were the same as ours, only hand carved ivory. Old rugs with hand worked scenes on them valued at £1,000. were to _ be seen. I saw chests of mahogany, bound with silver. And all kinds of things. In fact all the things that are in wood or ivory was hand work and there is one thing sure, that no living being toâ€"day, can do the same work. To my mind the race of mankind is deteriating intellectually, instead of improving. The floors of a lot of these big buildings were laid with blocks of marble or different colored pieces of Italian Walnut. mense bridge over t] We visited Madam â€" Wax Works and belic¢ can‘t imagine how n ple look. As you en I might say that we went through part of the Tower of London with three or four Australian chaps. They are as much like Canadians as you could get them, the same applies to the New Zealander. They wear a uniâ€" form similar to what is used in U.S. It is said that the Canadian has the neatest outfit of any British soldier. ne rest of the day was spent in viewing London in general:;: The next day we were out and purchased a leaf from a Red Cross lady. This leaf was the pride of all London as only _ a few were to be found. All the ladies stopped us. Oh that dear leaf.

But without joking they have got a sample of every kind of beasts in the world, including man, and one of the latter is kept in a cage just as you enter, taking tickets. The grounds are fixed up very nite, in fact they are so aranged that they have the appearance of a beautiful park, or garden. â€" We did not forget to pay our comâ€" pliments to the stage or to the theaâ€" tres, and I have only one thing to say, that here again the English have Canâ€" ada beat, as they don‘t leave out anyâ€" thing in putting on a play. The scenâ€" ery is the grandest you could imagine. We were greatly fascinated at all the shows. We had a set of rented opera‘ glasses and that is when you get the‘ benefit of the scenery. ; Now we did not get in the Parliaâ€" ment Buildings as we hoped to. I guess they have enough in there chew ing the fat about the war, so I stayed out. No, but it was only open on Satur days. I found it difficult to get them to change the custom. It sure is a very beautiful building. It is about 75 ft. wide and about 300 ft. long perhaps more. Of course, this is only where Parliament sits. They have dozens of other law places in town. Now, I think I will relate the last number, which was rehearsed on the 19th, I+ being a fine day, we amused ourselve . _~® 7 6 at the end of his year of office to donâ€" ate a plate or vase to the Mansion, consequently there were a large numâ€" ber of most beautiful gold and silver plates, weighing from 10 to 20 1bs. Well, last of all we were shown his own private dining hall and it was here we ate luncheon. It was grand indeed. The meal consisted of tea, sandwiches and cake, with all the apâ€" ples, bananas and pears that we wish ed. There were about fourteen Ausâ€" tralians, â€"four New Zealanders, and about six or seven Canadians at the table, along with an English gentleâ€" man in charge. He called for a vote of thanks to our royal host, which was seconded by the senior man from each country, Vivian and Vic representing Canada. We were all presented with a box of cigarettes each and we then left the House. Upon arriving back at the Club by bus, we got our things ready and at afuiye) sÂ¥ i.

Well, you understand that we were sure bent on going. We had dinâ€" ner at the Y.M.C.A. and at 2 p.m. we joined the party and out we went. We caught an underground train to the Mansion House, and the gentleman in charge took all of us through the Buildings. We were in all the rooms of the Mansion House. It was wonderâ€" ful.
