Men's Common Room

Men's Common Room

Sir.—

Might I suggest that the Exec, go down to a shooting gallery in the city and bring back some of those fascinating plaster animals to decorate the men's common room?

I dare not Imagine what the new furniture will be like though the repainting promises something special. Having put down the wild aesthetes on his Exec. Mr. O'Brien has redecorated in the most decorous manner with cream celling and walls, very a-septic, a particularly nasty caramel skirting board, red [unclear: lln] which is in fact rather effective, and I gather, green (why?) curtains. Why choose such a banal combination? Unless of course, they are Mr. O'Brien's racing colours.
