LONDON, May 29.-London business
men are adopting the American quick
lunch idea and are not eating as much
as formerly
DR.. w. j. Howarth, medical officer
for the health of the city of London
.commenttng in his annual report on
the reduction of the number of "the
more expensive and luxurious city
restaurants" said: "The heavy meal
of former days is being replaced-I
am referring to the successful men
in the higher administrative ranks
by a lighter meal occupying not
quarter of the time and as was the
custom in years gone by, when lunch
was a sort of midday feast.
THE increase in the newer type
of cheaper restaurants has certainly
benefited a large number of people,
who take sandwich and milk, tea
or coffee at the noon hour"
1t is quite the fad for popular cou-
pies living in little houses or squatty
apartments to borrow a large house
from their friends when they want to
give a real party. The practice among
society folk for an entertainment cf
some kind for charity also is quite
the vogue.
The house of Sir Alfred and Lady
Mond, centrally located, has been in
such demand that Sir Alfred, who is
in politics, has taken house next
door to his residence so as to have
more space for musicales, dances, teas
and afternoon political meetings which
Lady Mond likes now and then.
Mrs. Wilfred Ashley, wife of the
minister of transport, loaned her home
recently to Lady Erleigh, who enter
tanned for Lord and Lady Reading,
who had just returned from India.
On the occasion of charity ball at
the home of Charles Hambro, the
banker, who loaned" his Mayfield
house for the event, the atmosphere
of a Fashionable restaurant was re-
produced, the guests sitting at small
tables arranged around the dancing
floors where they had supper while
enjoying a cabaret performance.
Complexions which give the face a
transparent hue and an ivory pallor
have come into favor here
The vogue came up along with the
breath of spring, from the Rivera,
where the evening hour of the toilet
is devoted to obliterating the effects
of the sun and the sea.
London bathrooms from the tea time
forward have become full of pale
young women, who appear with mys-
terious shadows around their eyes.
The first object of makeup now is
to have the face as striking as pos
sible in pale interesting way, say
the beauty doctors 1t must not be
beautiful, but it must be arresting. A
new powder is of a shade of green,
made for fair women-it makes them
appear fairer and paler than ever
Fill them with tea, let them dance
and talk politics to them in the in
terval. This is the advice to the
Womens Unionist organization given
by Mrs. Dudley Stanhope, referring to
the young people of today.
1T has been discovered" she said,
that political powers are contained
in the homely and humble cup of tea.
If the voting age is lowered from 50
20 21 there may be six million extra
irresponsible young women on the
register who care only for dancing,
picture houses and other pleasures.
The only way to appeal to them IS
through the things they like and en-
oy. If they are keen on dancing,
give them dance and tea, and get a
speaker to talk politics for 10 min
ties"
