War Bride Taxi Is
 Problem in England
By LADY MARY

London. September 21.-tSpecial Correspondence.)-I really think that
 we ought to rechristen England Just
 for the period of the war and call it
 Fine Land" Nearly everything one
 does seems to register automatically
 design or desire on the part of the
 authorities to fine you for doing it.
 A young officer, accompanied by his
 fiancee, was invited to someone else's
 wedding recently. The ceremony was
 to take place about 10 miles from Lon
 don and the would-be guests missed
 the only train that would get them
 to the church in time; therefore, with
 reckless but perhaps pardonable ex-
 trava gance they made a bargain"
 with a taxi driver and started on their
 journey, They were, however, held
 up' before they had travelled more
 than half of their way and were in-
 formed that they were joy riding,
 and therefore, liable to heavy fine.
 Now the problem that arises from this situation is. whether going to a wed- ding may be regarded as a pleasure or, as the passengers on this trip as serted. a matter of necessity and. therefore. business. It certainly is a nice point and one that probably a good many married couples would argue about from different points of view.
 At any rate if we are going to be fined for taking taxis in order to go to weddings. what on earth is going to happen in the cases of brides and grooms who have up to the present been left these very ordinary vehicles which are now the only things in which even rich people can ride?
 l Recently it seems to have become the habit and perhaps the fashion in London for brides to drive to the church in open taxis. their filmy bridal wells fluttering in the breezs and their pretty dresses lightly GOV cred by white fox furs or some other attractive-looking outer garment Of course. as the autumn season ad- vances this will no longer be possi- bit, but during the past week I have seen at least five war brides driving 1 churchward in open taxis and seeming I thoroughly to enjoy the conspicuous- ness of their position.
 l It is in fact no longer "the thing | to be shy. The shy girl departed when l the military girl and the land girl and l the various other busy war girls came | into being. I don't know whether it | Is an advantage or an improvement but at any rate-there is no nonsense 1 about the young women of this period
