Show Warning to Tourists. Hugh Walpole, the English novelist, said at a tea In Philadelphia : "I advise you, if you go to London, to engage your hotel accommodation In advance, for all the London hotels are crowded all the time. "An American was walking the Strand the other day, when a red-nosed red-nosed chap touched his arm and said : " 'Could you give me a few coppers, sir, for a bed?' "'A few coppers?' said the American. Ameri-can. 'Why, man, I'll give you a couple cou-ple of sovereigns. Where the deuce is It? I've been looking for a bed all over tti!s blasted town for two days.' " |
