acter. She must be quite - old,, too,
and she somehow reminded me of
Lady Macbeth in the Shakespeare
play, possibly because she looked
like some actress I had once seen
play the part. Her gowns were
always, long, giving her an appear
ance of height which she does not
possess. Ususally, she was with
someone much younger than her
self, usually an officer—and not
always the same officer, I suppos
ed that she was still trying to live
in the world she describes in her
books.
Another woman I met and talk
ed with was vastly different. She
was Mrs. Pearl Hyde, the heroine
of Coventry, a city where the heroic
must have been'' common enough
several times. Mrs. Hyde was in a
khaki uniform,' as the- officer in
charge of the Women’s Voluntary
Services of. her city. That is an
organization, which seems to have
grown up from a small start in
Britain during this war, taking
over more and more jobs as the need
arose. They started, I believe, by
doing sewing and mending for the
soldiers and such humble jobs as
that. Now they are the ones who
drive the canteens, serve the. meals
in blitzed cities, help the Air Raid
Protection services and do a host
of dangerous civilian duties. Mrs.
Hyde has been decorated by' the
King for bravely during raids on’
Coventry. She was outspoken in her

At first, in my innocence, I

by the Red Cross, the organization

Mrs. Hyde was the first to dis

I doubt if my culinary .French is
good 'enough to give you the full
translation, but that grand spread
evidently began with a choice of
melon, or smoked salmon, went on
through the poultry, which 1

with coffee.
That was surely something in
wartime Britain, with its rationing
of , food and evidently the coffers
of- the Free French headquarters
is by no means empty.

I should say he is several inches

than six feet. He looks the part

I have rather copious notes on the
speech General de Gaulle gave that
night. He claimed that this war
was no' new thing, springing up sud
denly, but was still the same war
that was begun in 1914, with what
he called an entr-acte. The stakes
might be greater but they were simi
lar. The implements of destruction
had become faster but they were
refinements ..of old weapons.
It Was only too true that France
had been thunderstruck by a super
ior military System, but that did not
wipe out the desire for liberty. He
predicted that France would again
take her place in the fight. Crushed,
pillaged and betrayed she Would
