London is used to a cosmopolitan population, and has grown more than ever so during these years when uniforms have provided very definite geographical particulars. But surely never has there been so infinite a variety in her streets from all the world over, as during the week-end which saw the celebration of peace. Perhaps, on the whole, soft blue uniforms were the most effective, tho the khaki with red braid and crimson fez ran them close. Against the gray walls, topped by green branches of the old Duke of York's school at Chelsea, these soft and brilliant colors were extraordinarily picturesque, as were the figures of the women, in their long, sky blue overalls, passing backward and forward, and, in the distance, a little white mushroom group of pointed tents where, supposedly, the guests were "chez eux" over the festivities.
