Profitable Theatrical Season.
It is long since the I.on<Ton theaters
and restaurants have experienced so
profitable a season as the present The
West End is ablate with light night
ly, all the amusement places are
crowded and theater supper parties
keep the fashionable hotels and res
taurants busy until long after mid
night. In the meantime the board
of trade returns show the largest per
centage for ten years past of unskilled
persons out of work, while the pro
portion of skilled men without employ
ment is oonstrantly growing. The
Woolwich arsenal authorities have dis.
charged 2.000 mechanics since the
winter set In and are preparing to let
out 4,000 more. So the army of peo
ple out of work must bo added to the
6.,000 members of the army reserve
who have been released from service
with the colors. The worst distress
naturally la visible in the East End. A
number of newspapers have started
subscription columns and daily print
harrowing stories of half-clad school
cnlldren, many of whom aro without
any food except scanty luncheons fur
nished by sympathetic teachers. A
number of London suburban councils
