A WESTMINSTER ERROR
The lack of cafes—in the' Continental sense—in London (writes "M.E.D." in the "Manchester Guardian"): led to the strange adventure of a Frenchman 1 know. It was in pre-war days. He frankly said he detested the English and all their politics, but business compelled him to yisst London for a few days. He spoke no English, and the English and their ways seemed to him even more unpleasant than he had thought. Not a cafe could he find until, crossing Westminster Bridge, he perceived to his'joy persons on a terrace sitting at tables. He hastened to tho spot, found a large building, and rushed to the doorway only to be stopped by a policeman. He tried to force a way. There was resistance. He was escorted out of the House of Commons, to the Terrace of which he had tried to effect an entrance. And that was the only icafe that he found in London.
