 Quentin Reynolds, who just re- turned from London, is autograph ing copies of his new book, "The wounded Don't Cry" to girl friends (married or single) in this manner: "In memory of glorious week end at Lake Como"
 Quentin's book is crowded with eye-arresting wordage like: That night heard the German radio expert report that London had been panicked by the German bombers. got a cable from New York sey- ing: Reports here that London in flames There was damage in Lon- don all right; there will be fur there damage, but I don't think London will be ruined Or that Lon don will be panicked. They never panicked Jack Dempsey, did they? Sure, they hit him and hurt him and London will be hit and hurt. Tn fact, 1t is being hit and hurt today. But what of it? These people know they are in a war and know they've got to take a beating before they've won 1t. They know that lots of them are going to be killed. Every time the bombers come over they shake the debris out of their eyes, go to the nearest pub, have half pint of bitters and say: ''Ow many did we get today?'"

Four people, 1t appears, sit in room They order sixteen quarts of whiskey They all drink the laughing-milk in equal quantities until 1t is consumed Then one of the quartet leaves the room-and the remaining trio try to figure out which one left.
 Page One heroes don't last long. Remember how we cheered the Films? Well, Finland's Minister Procope chanced upon reporters and mentioned tl1aht he hadn't seen them lately.
 My country isn't interesting now, he said unhappily, now adays we are just fighting cold and hunger"
 It actually happened, they tell you, when a swishy lad boarded a crosstown bus .. The little flower got his dander up because the bus was very crowded and 1t seemed that no gentleman got up to give him a seat Swishing over to the driver, he falsettoed: My goodness gracious, where am going to sitP''
