Most of US who go home for the hrst 

 time are sure to be struck with the im- 

 mense traffic of London as compared 

 with that of Sydney, Melbourne, Wel- 

 lington or Adelaide, Since the advent 

 of the taxi and motor 'bus even native 

 Londoners find the strain of crossing 

 the streets rather too much for them. 



The recent taxi strike produced an un- 

 wonted claim in the bustling thorough- 

 fares, and for the first time for many 

 months, since the last strike, in fact, it 

 was possible to get from curb to curb 

 without danger to life or limb. Those 

 who have never been to London can 

 hardly grasp the way in which the 

 advent of the efficient motor-engine has 

 revokitionised street traffic there durir^g 

 the last six years The old hansom 

 — which Lord Rosebery hajjpily called 

 the gondola of London — has vanished, 

 and can seldom be seen save in the wee 

 small hours of the morning, when it 

 prowls the deserted streets in search of 

 a stray night worker going home. Its 

 place has been entirely taken by the 



Every requisite for Ladies', Gentlemen's and Children's Wear. Also 

 Carpets, Curtains, Household Linens, China, Glass, etc.
