[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] Sin,—In answer to the letter of your correspondent, Mr. A. F. Wallis, on the above- subject, the authorities of the British Empire Exhibition have placed the arrangements for the accommodation of visitors from overseas in the hands of Messrs. Thos. Cook and Sons, and of Messrs. H. Whitfield Baker and Co., and the latter firm are compiling a special list of people with London houses who are willing in the excep- tional circumstances to receive paying guests under, as your correspondent suggests, suitable guarantees. Messrs. Thos. Cook's offices are to be found all over London, and those of Messrs. Whitfield Baker and Co. at 5A Pall Mall, S.W. 1.- I am, Sir, &c., A MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE WOMEN'S SECTION, BRITISH EMPIRE EXHIBITION.
