SIR WINSTON'S PYJAMAS
SIR.—The Winston Churchill Wore Pyjamas brigade will find support for their view in Mr. Dean Acheson's book Sketches from Life. He writes that during the war he was called to the White House to discuss a Churchill memorandum with Mr. Harry Hopkins. 'As we discussed the matter, the bedroom door opened and in walked the author of the memorandum in pyjamas and bathrobe, smoking a cigar. . . . Even in pyjamas the aura of command hung about him.'
Of 6tibrse, it could be that Sir Winston, like most men, sometimes wore pyjamas and sometimes did not. Perhaps some future Namicr, in the interests of historical accuracy, will ultimately settle this inir portant matter of nocturnal habit.
