WAR THE LEVELLER

It is impossible not to -notice, says a correspondent of tho Newcastle "Cliioniclc") tho immense change that has bc-en effected by the war in tho attitudo of the different classes towards each clhc-r. Thero is more homogeneity among the people, and less of that demarcation between the well-to-do and their poorer r-eigh-ljours so obvious before the war. j:« the . popular restaurants "swells" ftom tho clubs, and fashionable dames from Mayfair nad Tyburnia may be seen te!, : r,g their meals in company with trade-men, chorus girls, or milliners and dressmakers from the fashionable modistes' shops. The hauteur which formerly was too much apparent when any of these select people camo in contact with those less endowed with the world's goods is rarely witness, cd. Nor does Lady Disdain make her presence in the streets and shops so unpleasantly obvious as in tho pre-war period. War work has brought the classes together, and they aro coming to understand each other much better. 111 the motor buses and tramcars may be seen riding side by side with Tom, Dick, and Harry officers of the crack regiments, and it is no uncommon sight to see a staff officer step out of his club in Pall Mall or Piccadilly, board a motor bus, and pay bis penny, for a ride to Whitehall or elsewhere. Who, a year ago, would have been audacious enough to imagine a staif officer riding ij) a common bus.

Tlie Greytown Soldiers' Room is to be opened five days in the week, from ti p.m. to 10 p.m.; Saturdays and Sundays from 3 p.m. till 10 p.m. Tlie committee request those who hare easy-chairs, wall curtains, or such like to spare to donate same to the room. Messrs. E. Johnston and Co. vill sell by auction, 011 January 11, lour building sites mid three cottages situated at Paekakariki. 'l'lie directors of the Y.MC. A. make an appeal to the public for subscriptions to pay of tho mortgage.
