DEAREST GENEvTEyE,

DEAREST GENEvTEyE,
I promised yen prompt letter from London.
Well here it is in the very first mail after have
settled my luggage in one Of the luxurious rooms
Of Wardman's excellent Park Lane Hotel where
everything has been arranged to make the stay OF
the American tourist comfortable and happy.
The service here is equal to anything we have
1T home, but the atmospheric Ahl that's different.
It is London. Nothing on earth just like it.
arrived here Via Plymouth, and while have
really seen very little Of the country, only the
short trip up from the boat, what I have seen
has impressed me enchanting. I am in love with
the narrow lanes bordered by century-old hedges
the picturesque stone cottages, the old, old inns
that remind one Of scenes in Dickens stories
and the occasional manor house with its terraces
and gardens. It is quite like another world and
one can dream stories Of love and war in the
days when gallant knights rode forth to rescue
beautiful nnaidens from terrible dragons. am
sure the dear ladies shut up in medieval towers
were not nearly smart as our modern girls
when they are turned out by our Washington shops
and beauty specialists
! wrote you long letter from the boat which
want you to be sure and read Sunday, the
twenty-ninth ! will tell you about the wonder
full voyage over, the adorable ships officers and
the very excellent service that helped to make the
honest. That is why I enjoyed the SPLENDID meals
on the boat.
Ny, what time I am having with the coin
Of the realm. It seems quite useful here as at
home, even necessary, but haven't yet learned tc
translate "three bob six" into United States with
out pad and pencil.
am simply wild about the shops here, but,
from the little | have seen they are not one
whit more attractive than own exclusive places
IN Washington. The parks in London intrigue
one, they always full Of interesting looking
people and there is is always stalwart policeman.
Bobby" they call him here, duty to look after
the adorable kiddies.
The whole city seems to be flooded with de-
Iightfu Americans One finds them all over the
place, teafng motoring, shopping, sightseeing, and
they keep one from getting homesick.
am leaving tonight with the Franco Belgique
tour for the lovely country Of Shakespeare, Avon,
and Ill that sort Of thing. After Friday I will
be at the American Womens Club and will send
you another letter next week.

cessed.
The case grew out Of the action
