APPROPRIATE COSTUME
(Received June 5, 10.30 a.m.^
LONDON, June 4. This was the hottest Whit Sunday in London jn the present century, reaching '87deg. The beaches and rivers were invaded. Men boating on the Thames were stripped to the waist, and the majority of the girls wore beach pyjamas. Youths in bathing costumes cycled through the city to the bathing 'resorts. Many slept on the roofs of flats. Heated tar in the streets pulled the shoes off numbers. Three thousand children took part in a Catholic procession to Liverpool Cathedral. Hundreds were treated for sunstroke. Many fainted at the Cenotaph service.
