Statesman's English Correspondent Off For Trip To France The brakes of the ancient Bent- ley, with the woncierful engine and the hagard green paint, screeched in the street. "You're early!" I shrieked fram my wln- dow. Have I time for a cup of coffee?" "0K - but step on it!" I stepped on it sa firmly that I left my treasured lipstick on the dressing table. Tis horrible realization came on the road half- way to Dover. "I forgot my lip- stick," I screamed. One sereams in Bentley, whose efficient engine is dependable. "France is full of them!" was the bellowed reply. Bentley roared his disapprovai of the Runkirque Packet; and re- fused to develop an inferiorlty complex in the close proxinuty, on board, of Roîls Royces and a most shiny American Studebaker. The crossing was smooth as glass;,the Customs took an inter- minable tixne; and dusk was fai- ing as we leit the cobbled streets of Dunkirque and took the road to Abbeville and the ancient nn for dinner and the night. "To the moonllght on Chartres Cathedral," said Joan, raising her wlneglass. "To ail moonlight everywhere." Rouen for lunch next day in a certain place in the Vieux Marche where Jeanne, D'Arc was burned to the stake. A certain place where sparkles like champagne and la one drinks a pale gold cider that delicate and delicious. This with a Poulet Normande that la chick- en with mushroorns in a white wine sauce worthy af being eaten by angels! A stroil about the famous market place. A visit to the lovely Cathedral, and on the road again ta Chartres. Along tree-lined roads, through flat, un- hedged fields of grain. Chartres of the magnificent Cathedral. Stained glass jike ,precious stones. Awed and silenc- ed by this gloriaus masterpiece af divinely patient workmanship; humbled by a supreme monument to Beauty. Orleans for dinner and the night at a very oid inn off the Market Place, where stands a great statue of Jeanne D'Arc i armour, astride her horse. Morning and away again, ta- ward the Savoy Alps, now. Luncheon at an old inn where the post horses were changed, long ago. Low, heavily beamed ceil- ings. Food more deliciaus than anýything we ever ate before. Red wminh enarmous long stemmed glasses, pouredalmost reverently by the waiter. "Perfect." We nodded at one another and even smiled at the thin slanting rain that had begun to fail. Up with Bentley's patched and tattered top. Rain could only sizzle and evaporate In steam against the warm and rosy glaw imparted, by such a meal! On our way - singing above Bentley's roars ai disgust. Through country grawing hilly, vailey villages paited in bright toy colours; turreted chat- eaux or hilltops lilce the castle in "Snow White." Suddenly, through a mist, the beginning oi the Savoy Alps. Mountain lakes and waterfalls. Dusk and the dreani- like village of Nantua on the edge of a lake that la' hall blue and hall green. Some trick of reflec- tion of sky and mountains. Across the Alps, 35 miles away lay the Swiss Frontier and Geneva. "1I'm staying here in Nantua," I an- nounoed, I think it must be heaven, or near it." "0«K," they said and turned back to the sauth and Spain. "Too bad you can't came ta Spain," they said. "Yes, but my passport shows that I cheered for the losing aide. Neyer mmnd. Some day perhaps Franco will let me visit Spain agai. Anyway it is pretty close ta heaven in Nantua!" Isobel H. Stephenson, Grand Hotel de France. Scouts m~et Monday night. The boys now have a bugle band and drum and also colours. Instruc- tions were given on pressure points and they also had a band- aging test. THUIRSDAY, AUGUST 17T-H, 1939 PAGE NINE
