Unlike Yorkville residents, the colorfully dressed flower people draw hardly a, glance here from passersby. f For that matter, they are as common throughout London as are the ‘straight people‘ as they call the white shirt and tie dressers. Just around the corner is famous Trafaigar Square, with its handsome, stately monuments and beautiful fountains. orher city in the world. History, art, ballet, theatre, cinema, nightâ€"life, modern fashâ€" ion, the list of interests stretches on and on. Perhaps I can suggest some features not to be . missed. Premier among these is a walkâ€" ing tour of the area near Traâ€" falgar Square. Beginning at Piccadilly Cireus,~I walked one afternoon along Oxford and Regent Streets to the Soho area. Clubs and people of all descriptions _ a re . everywhere. Hawkers peddle everything from earrings and beads }o oil paintâ€" ings and flags. ~ A few blocks further on I found myself on Carnaby Street, prigin of the ‘Mod‘ look.

LONDON Everybody knows a bunny rabâ€" bit wiggles his nose â€" all bunnies except Jerry Cottontail that is. ‘No matter how hard he tried or how many times, Jerry just could not make his nose move either up, down, or from side to side. He hopped from‘ beneath a birch tree and made .his way to the brook who was chuckling and singâ€" ing to no one in particular, When Happy the brook noticed his friend Jerry staring sadly into the water, and when he saw the teardrops falling off the rabbit‘s nose he said: It was no use! He would never "Oh, Jerry. That is nothing to worry about." ~"I &n ?" 0 "No, of course not! Would you believe it? There was a time when I could not sing or chuckle!" "Youâ€"you couldn‘t sing or chuckle, Happy? What did you do about it?" Jerry Cottontail was astonished. Surely Happy the brook never had problems. â€" Happy chuckled for a while and then told the young rabbit: "I went to see Oscar the old bullfrog who lives over in Maple Creek on the other side of Cottontail Hill. He solved my problem in no time, and I‘ve been singing and laughâ€" ing ever since." "You mean I have to find the bulifrog first and tell him about my problem ?" ‘ Jerry thanked his friend and started out in search of Oscar the wise old frog who lived on the other side of Cottontail Hill. The rabbit did not feel as sad now that he had talked to Happy the brook, but he still believed nobody could solve his problem. The speakers I heard varied from African immigrants to a member of the House of Lords. T hey conjectured, blustered, questioned, insulted, denounced and decried on topics that varied from the evils of party politics to the planned invasion of England by the Irish Requblic. I couldn‘t help but think, as watched the orators on , their stepladders and soap boxes, that this was real oratoryâ€"and real democracy. If you are a theatre fan, you‘ll find some of the world‘s greatest bargains here. Unlike Broadway, plays, London theatre can be seen for as little as $1 in Canadian money. And the offerings include some of the most popular and successful plays of the day â€" "Oliver", "Fiddler on the Roof", and "Sweet Charity", are among the current hits to be seen at barâ€" gain prices. I was very surprised to learn this rule is exceptional in Engâ€" land. Generally, the cost of livâ€" ing is very close ato our own, all his rabbit friends. He was beâ€" coming the laughing stock of the whole woods, especially around Cottontail Hill. "Ahh! That is a secret only Old Oscar can tell you, Jerry. You‘ll have to work and search for it, my friend." "That is right," murmured the brook. On the way to Maple Creek he met Chippy the chipmunk and told him his sad story. j‘Oh, yes, go right away and see OM Oscar the bulifrog. He will solve your problem as quick as a wink. Before you know it your nose will be wiggling!" ‘"Would you believe it ?" Chippy asked Jerry. "There was a time when I could not jump from one branch to another? I used to be afraid I‘d fall and always closed my eyes. Everybody laughed at Jerry Cottontail wiped at the two big teardrops that were fallâ€" ing down through his whiskers. "Why, Jerry Cottontail! Whatâ€" ever is the maiter? Why are you erying 1" § *‘But what did he tell you? How did â€"" The rabbit rubbed his nose fectionately. "Iâ€"I can‘t wiggle my nose like the other rabbits can," Jerry said in a very low voice. BEST BARGAINS . > Lo. . By Howard The rabbit who couldn‘t wiggle his nose Coliins "Oh, not much: farther now, Jerry. Take that trail over there near the.dam and follow it until you come to a tiny creek surroundâ€" ed with Maple trees. That is where you‘ll find Oscar the bullfrog â€" onibig green lily pad." The old bullfrog stretched his double chins and looked sternly at Jerry Cottontail. For a moment Jerry was afraid and decided to turn and run, But Oscar finally spoke. ‘"What‘s your problem, Rabbit ?" "Please, Oscar â€" Mr. Frog, you can help me? I cannot wiggle my nose. And all my friends say you can solve my probiem." Jerry could hardly believe his ears. Little Chippy had problems? No!

"There was a time, Jerry," he said, "when I could not slap my tail whenever danger came to the pond. I used to be afraid it‘d hurt. My tail, that is. Everybody made fun of me. Then Melvin Muskrat told me about Old Oscar, Haven‘t had any trouble since." ~®y the time Jerry Cottontail reached the big green lily pad where Old Oscar was sitting he had high hopes. By Jimminy!

He could not wiggle his nose and every one told him Oscar could shelp him. But would he ever find the frog? "Yep! Old Oscar will help you, that‘s for sure, Jerry. I went to him years ago." "I don‘t knovéif I can," he anâ€" swered the rabbit. "Maybe." Jerry‘s hopes faded. "Maybe? What do you mean by maybe? You h»lpod all_the others!" Suddenly the bullfrog became very angry with the rabbit and shouted : For a memorable experience you might spend an evening in a London pub. It is here, (as in Belgium) a major social centre. Every night, the pubs that seem to invite you from every street corner are filled by people of all ages and social positions.

He promptly moved his ears back and forth and up and down. Never in all his life had he tried so hard to do something. As he began moving his ears, Jerry was awar of a funny senâ€" sation. Something new and excitâ€" ing was happening to him! He was moving â€" wiggling his nose! Old Oscar roared with laughter and croaked and croaked. "Ohhh! Ahhh! Hoâ€"ho! It happens every time. Whenever somebody comes to me for help, I have to make him angry so that he might have faith in himself, And then he does it all on his own."
