DERELIcTs RETURN TO THAMES

London-Have you ever read stories in which the hero, penniless and de- Spondent, at last sinks down among the derelicts of humanity who find their sleeping quarters on the Thames embankment? Do you recall any or those paintings slowing the haggard, worn faces, the hopelessness, the deso- lation, of those human wreckS as they crowd together on the benches through the agonies of homeless nights?
 For years these squalid sights were feature of Londons night life. The shadowy forms resting restlessly through dreadful hours of cold and fog gripped the imagination of writers and artists-and many a writer and artist has himself at one time or other been
 forced to experience the discomfort of London't most famous outdoor sleep ing ground. The Thames embankment
 became a London tradition.
 But with the coming of the war the
 derelicts disappeared from the em-
 bankment. There was work for every one in the business of defeating Ger
 many. From 1914 onward the em-
 bankment was deserted at night Wis itors who wandered about London look ing for characteristic touches, wallow- ing in local color, found something | lacking on the river front; there was still the magic of subdued lights and | grotesque shadows in a walk along the | river front from Westminster tt 1 Blackfriars bridge, but where were l the far famed derelicts?
 | Where they went or what became O them nobody in particular knew. Ane
 nobody in particular cared Even wheT | the unprecedented unemployment O | last year left thousands homeless the, l did not return to the embankmen mt But with the coming of the new veal 1 they're back.
 London traditions are not given III l lightly. And the tradition of sleeping 1 on the embankment has once nor come into its own.-New York Sun.
