A FARM IN LONDON.
a J ong „ busy Commercial Road, in the Blast End of London, with its clattering trams and roaring buses, farms are the last thing you expect to see. But turn down Settles Street and dive through an old archway on the left and you will find a dairy with real cows. The first pleasant thing you discover is a cobbled courtyard. At the foot of it are two wide-open doors of a byre, an d from inside the byre comes the lov ing of cows—26 of them. In the miiKhouse you will find Mrs. Wiilmm Woolsey, whose husband owns "The Farmhouse Door," as hi 3 premises are called. "It's a grand life," she said. "I've lived in Stepney for 20 years, and I might be in the middle of the country except that outside there are streets instead of fields."
