A correspondent writes from America with regard to the "
Come to Britain " movement, stating that the delights and attraetiens of the South of France are well advertised in the United States, whereas the spring beauties of England are but rarely pictured. " It seems to inc. that the hotel keepers and railway directors, who apparently are the livest of your public service people, should get together and start an adver- tising campaign . ." • Of course they should, and -I hope they will. My correspondent also bemoans the fact that he had to pay a dollar, apiece for peaches. " I realize that these English peaches were raised in the hothouse, but unfortunately no such forcing method has ever been used on my pocket book." Hotel keepers should remember that the American is 'accus- tomed to good and plentiful fruit. As to cooking, I am afraid the restaurant service on many trains is still bad enough to head many visitors straight away to countries where food is understood, before they have time to sample the 'sound British fare which is provided in iome'of our inns.
