The advent of the lady clerk has brought about a distinct improvement in tho appearance of the rooms in the big buildings in Whitehall (states a London paper). Where, before tho war, the tables were littered with- papers, one now finds bowls'of cut flowers or growing bulbs. Files of official papers aro "put by" when not actually in use. and oM newspapers are always consigned to the waste-paper basket instead of being, allowed to accumulate in dusty pigeonholes and odd corners. In one room, at least, the "temporary lady" occupants have even gone to the length of cleaning the windows rather than wait for the very infrequent visits of the official cleaners. The "permanent staff" snioko their pipes, and' smile.
