Snt,—May I give a vote, or as many votes as
I can, in favour of Miss Rose Macaulay's suggestions in your issue of November a5th, of "starting a propaganda campaign for sleeping in bed "?
May I say that I am strongly in favour of her suggestion, though rmy only experience of public shelters has been in the daytime and not at night ; but it is true that before I left London on October 17th I had slept in my clothes for three weeks, and finally had the glass in the window where I was—with others—crashed all over us, though in a basement?
But I still think it better to face the said danger by itself, with such precautions as are possible in private houses, and not to have to consider as well the other dangers common to public shelters, so graphically described by Miss Macaulay.—Yours truly, Sllverton, Chelwood Gate, Sussex. E. M. KEATE.
