A lady, who lived betweeu Loudod, and Brighton, writing to a relative when war was declared with Germany/ says: "We got 'over .the first few days well, Tho banks closed for three days, which prevented the gold leaving' the country, and there aro now £1 notes issued—nice little things about sin by .2Jin, but" no' one is.in, n, panic about' money. Then the food question has been well overhauled, and we are supposed to hnvo enough for five months without supplies coming, so our v sole question is to economise and to have no waste or luxury.
