Decline of the West The Odyssey of the Lonely Woman What is the life of the homeless and penniless woman in London? Where does she sleep. How does she keep body and soul together day by rl~y: Mrs. Cecil Chesterton, the well-known writer and journalist, decided to go down into the depths and find out what happens in the City of Dreadful Night. For this purpose she left her home, cut herself off from friends, and, under an assumed name, star ted afrrsh tn London, without money, change of clothes, or references. . She had many adventures. She sold matches, cleanl'd steps, begged in the street, slept ia doss-houses, shelters, and . in . the caus:tl ward. Her Odyssey of the lonely \\'Oman in the fight for existence makes an absorbing book. It is called "In Darkest London," and is publi.shed by ~f :.~.cm~l lan. ($1.75.) In St. Paul's Cathedral in Londvn, =tt a recent meeting of five thousand of the clergy, the Bishop of London made interesting references to this hook of Mrs. Chesterton's, and the volume ts already in very active demand throug-hout Great Britian.

J tions. Dear MarionI know that this letter is not going to be full of enthusiastic exclamation points, and that is a pity, but then 1 shall be home next week and I can exclaim on the ground! One thing I must tell you about is "Our Garden Flowers" bv Harriet L. Keeler. Many of my friends have gardens and most of them are fervent gardeners, not satisfied by the old fashioned flower names, but professionals registering interest only to the sound of "Euphorbia," "Lupine," "Heuchera," "Aquilegia," and-so-forth. Naturallv in seH-defense I find it necessarv to memorize the Latin names as rapidly as possible, and that is one of the reasons that I bought this hook. Delphiniums are no longtr the only things I know. \Ve have recently acquired a beauti-: fully illustrated set of Macaulay's "History of England." It is fascinating rcadin~ and in this day of "cloak and sword" romances it should be read more. Another beautifulJy illustrated hook is "Cambridge" hy Tuker and Matthieson. Matthieson has made a great niany water color drawing of the colleges and their surroundings. These are as illuminating as the text and twice as charming. But of course you know my fads. · The recent coal strike in En~land made me extrcmelv conscious of the romanticist in me~a Miniver Chccvv in fact.
