HAD ATMOSPHERE OF HOME
"hostess House" Would Have fer
Americans In London.

It was an amusing incident that first
made the need of the hostess house
apparent in London. In 1917 certain
American members Of Canadian unit
had business with the American am
bassador, but could come to him only
on Sunday. Mr.. Page suggested that
they come to tea at his house. Six Of
them arrived, and Mrs. Page poured
tea in the drawing-room. 1t was very
CHEEKY and cordial, but somehow the
business hung over. They had to meet
another Sunday.
This time there were ten Americans
and the business was not completed.
Mr.. Page suggested third Sunday.
and 20 Americans came to tranoact
business with him on that day.
During the following week he sug-
gested that the Americans in the
Canadian unit who still wished to talk
to him should come to his house a
fourth Sunday and wind up affairs
with him, and on the fourth Sunday
the Page drawing room was packed
with soldiers.
The ambassador told his associates
about 1t, and one of them chaffed an
American who had gone there to tea.
Ambassadors are popular with you
Y0nks!" he said.
"Oh, the ambassadors all right I"
conceded the American. "But we
didn't attach much Importance to the
business. 1t was Mrs. Page. She
served US tea around ON honest-to-
goodness log fire, with q tea wagon
and fLngs. 1t was great"
And there you arel Mindful Of
those Sundays. Mr.. Page realized that
with the advent Of American forces in
England a substitute home for them
was an immediate necessity; 80 he
was the moving spirit in the estab-
lishment by the Y. N. G. A. of the
American Officers Inn at Cavendish
square, London.
