Clubs Crowded

have mentioned earlier thi London ig devoid of special. fe tures of interest. It is not devo of people, Club life in particular being very congested. Smoking rooms and eard-rooms are crowded, and people have to wait their turn for a game of billiards. This Is recounted for by the fact that more lub men stayin London during August and September than there fused to be, and that many clubs Jare closed temporarily for decoration and their" members "boarded lout" on other clubs.

There are a few men who to think it necessary to apologise for being so "unfashionable" as to remain in London during the grouse season, but there are others who are more candid. "I have had two invitations to grouse moors," said fan old soldier sadly, "but I simply feannot afford to go." Then there are those who frankly confess their preference for London. in. August and take their holidays in the south of France in winter. And there is the country cousin who comes up to his London club in August. He is very much in evidence just now.

Clearly we are all going to fly sooner or Later. The London Light Plane Club has been opened Edgware, and there ix already a barge membership of people ready and. wishful to"fy their own machines. At present the mumber of members limited to 100.
