A S so many American soldiers
~ are passing through London
~ on their way to the western
front, the following article
from Country Life on Chow to See
London in Two Days." is timely.
In normal days, when American visi-
tors filed the hotels, sightseeing was,
in spite of American hustle, fairly
leisurely thing. 1t is the soldiers who
are here today who have to be the real
hustlers. Their sightseeing has often
to be crammed into a day or two's
leave, and the problem of how to see
all possible, and yet so to see as to
store up mental pictures, clear. definite
and full of color, on which to draw In
pleasurable restrospection for the rest
of life, is one which probably few of
them are solving.
Now, the secret Of success in sight
seeing is discrimination and selection.
Try to see everything and you see
effectively-nothing. Your thousand
Impressions are mixed, in week they
are hard to disentangle, in a year they
have vanished. On this principle 1
throw out ideas for those who have no
more than a couple Of days to give to
the work and the pleasure. On more
than one ground I should counsel the
giving up of at least half day to out
door sightseeing. The hugeness of
London strikes everyone who gives
days to its discovery. The best way Of
getting the same impression quickly
is to travel from end to end Of the
route of one of the great London lin
ers-the general" motorbuses. It
matters little which you take. Service

than anywhere, you need the help Of
selection and restraint. If you give
yourself up to the vergers they will tell
you all about the royal tombs. When
they have left you, think for moment
Of my idea. Remember that the Alb

monastery; next, the royal church and
the tomb of many kings; and, then, the
grave of great men. AS to the first.
do not leave till you have seen the
cloisters, the chapter house. the under
croft and the chapel of the Pyx, the
little cloister-and, If you are there on
Saturday, the hall of Westminster
school, which was the dormitory Of the
monks. These things illustrate the
daily monastic life and are without
question the most picturesque thing
remaining of the middle ages. AS to
the next, the vergers will have shown
you the coronation seat, and the tombs
of the great kings, to that Of Henry V
who fought at Agincourt. AS to the
third, counsel you to see Poets Cor
ner-the south transept-for its re-
minders of the men who have knit the
empire together in the poetry of COM
mon speech.
What to Sec In the Tower.
You will go to the Tower. Here,
again, remember that the Tower has
been three things: a fortress, a royal
palace and q prison. The White Tow
er is the Oldest complete building in
London. It was the keep built by the
Conqueror to overawe the city. It
never was Of the city, and bit of the
Roman wall here shows how the outer,
boundary of the earlier city was over
run. See the Traitors gate, by which
prisoners entered the Tower and so
few left it; the site Of the headsman's

While all the skirts are slender,

New York.-Paris and Palm Beach
command the attention Of those whose
fortunes are tied up In women's APP
parel. Paris Is more important In a
large sense; Palm Beach in q small
er sense. 1t depends ON the view
point.
Paris Is exhibiting to the American
buyers the things that we will wear;
Palm Beach is exhibiting to society
and the fashion reporters those things
that wewe devised for us to wear as
long ago as the first Of December.
Nearly all Of the fashions that are
worn at Palm Beach have been sketch
ed and detailed. because they were
turned out by American dressmakers
through local Inspiration or through
adaptation Of early French models
before or just after the Christmas sea-
son.
Therefore, a fashion writer states,
1t is more important to dip into the fu-
ture and recount what Paris has shown
to the American buyers. What is now
worn In Palm Beach we will undoubt-
edly wear through the spring, but so
far. in a big eason of that resort,
there is nothing of extraordinary orig
inality, and whatever Is done has been
foretold and outlined.
The unusual cold, the extraordinary
delays IN travelling and the impossl-
bility Of getting ones trunks on time,
have contributed to q state of irrita-
ton at Palm Beach that one does not
associate with that land Of lotus eat
ers and pleasure seekers.
