Vt the gloom which hangs over Lon
don at night and the general depres-
lion as a result of the war, the more
important London theatres will offer
their Christmas pantomimes as
usual. taking the position that chill

holiday treat because of the war.
Cinderella" Jack and the Bean
Stalk, Sleeping Beauty" and num-
Der OF other favorite fancies of Child
hood are to be revived at Christmas

past years.
Hotels which have not attempted
TO have dancing since the opening
Of the war have also announced that
they will resume the weekly Satur-
day evening dinner dances in an eff
fort to throw off the gloom which is
settling over England.
Mourning is rapidly displacing
color in London streets and shop win

all in mourning and few London
hostesses are now able to arrange
dinners, even very small affairs,
without discovering that the war has
visited death upon the families OF
many Of their friends.
