Caravan Homes

SIR,—As a British woman who has lived for over thirty years in France, and as a regular reader of your paper, which is of particular value to peopILNabroad, I beg to state how much I am interested in Mr. James's article Caravans and Cabins. This is indeed a solution which may well be of world-wide value. How many people, in all countries, in whom the fear of losing a house is preponderant (in the modgtn sense of necessary amenities), would gladly accept a change of occupation, if not of country, if this could be assured ?'

My son has accepted a very well-paid post in a provincial town, and trembles at the thought of housing his young wife and three tiny girls. The possibility of a caravan could not be conceived; he would bring disrepute on the firm who employs him. I am sure that if this clever and practical solution can be brought into general use, in all countries, a great problem will be solved.—I remain, yours

faithfully, IYIURIEL DEMOGE. 39 Grande Rue, Dole du Jura, France.
