 She was just a London child, re- turning to her home after another night in Q public shelter. One of the new generation here in London town who seem as old in step as the weary mothers who shuffle along by their side.

They breathe the fetid air which circulates slowly through the vast spaces of shelter packed far beyond its normal capa- city. They lie on hard concrete floors.
