Some of the cburchyards I have seen in which they torm an impressive part are at Stoke Pages, Beaconsfield Charlesbury, Dorchester, Bunford Waddesdon, Chalfant, St. Giles, etc. With such a widespread mass o! flower gardons it is no wonder that there are numorous sang- birds adding ta the glories o! the countryside. Their songs fill the air and there is one that I have nover heard beforo-the cuckoo. I heard my first onc in Stoke Pages cburchyard, but since thon have heard tbem in many places, and there is ane that tries ta wake me up each marning at Amers- ham. The most enjoyable way ta 500 English countryside is ta stay in same centre, such as Oxod Aylosbury, or some smallerplc and make daily excursions into the countryside to interesting and historic spots. The buses do not travel fast and every littie hamlet is Inter- esting and beautiful, and has some anciont landmark warth sce- ing and visiting. In the smaller places there are many thatched roofs on the old hauses and barns. They are most picturesque. I am. told that a good thatched roof is about 18 inches tbick, is porfectly water- proof, ]asts from 15 ta 20 years, and makes a building cool in ummer and warm in winter. It is not such a difficult job ta do as many people think, and a ousin o! mine, at Shifford, bas recont]y replaced a thatched roof himself. The only drawback ta these tatcbed roofs is that they bar- aour rats and mnice who find th- itraw ta their liking.

Before the war ;0 gardeners were emplayed ahl he time. The wall around the ,rounds is twenty miles around. Most of these large homes gave ip part o! the buildings for war aork and at Blenheim there are till a number o! shacks built )y the Ministry of works that poil the view of the castle. This castle which is the homoe ýthe Duke o! Marlborough, ca- ,rs tbree acres, and is set in rounds which caver 2,500 acres. The avenue and trocs are said i have been set out ta repre- ent a plan of the Battle of Blen- ýeim with a tree for each saldier .at felI. One avenue stretcheE r two miles fram the palace. There are Italian gardons, flow- rgardons, rock gardons, anrd ath- rs making a gorgeous show place. On another day I visited Hamp- )n Court Palace. The gardons- ere may flot be as fine as bo- )re the war, but are beautiful )day and must caver thousands Eacres. There wcro immense ds a! tulips, and many other owers. Hampton Court was built In ie reign o! Henry VIII who rought thore as bis queens Anne leyn, Jane Seymour, Anme of leves, Catherine Howard and therine Parr.

One cf the most famous feat- ures Of Hampton Court is the Maze, but one does flot need ta go there ta get lost. It is quite easy to do that in the gardens and grounds. Hampton Court Palace is now preserved as an "ancient monu- ment and historic building" by the Ministry of Works and it is visited by thousands daily. From Hampton Court boat trips may be taken on the River Tham- es in one direction ta Windsor and in the other ta Kingston, Richmond and London. The river is bordered by lovely homes and gardons mast o! them quite modemn in appearance. Another deligbtful day was spent at Windsor Castle but that will be deait witb in another ar- ticle. Governm't Increases Mothers' Allowances By an increaso of about 20 per cent in Mothers' Allowancos paid by the Ontario Government, a mother with one child will draw a maximum allowance of $50 per month, campared with the old maximum of $42. The increase is announced by the Minister o! Welfare, following a statement that consideration was being giv- on ta an upward adjustment in al- lowances to meet rising living costs. The allowance for each addi- tional child has been set at a max- imum of $10 per month, an in-, crease bf $4. A further change, in regulations relieves the munici- n~4sof praviding relief for the .rianently disabled busbands women drawing the mothers' allowance. These husbands wl be treated as another dependant, elegible for the samne allewance paid for children. Formerly * they drew municipai relief. jEstimated additional yearly ex- penditure ta caver the increases ýi about $500,000. The allowances are established on the basis c f need, with the budget of each in- dividual family entering into the decision. In increasing the max- imum basic allowances, no change is made in the $10 per month which might be added te the allowance p aid any dne bene- ficiary. Each bene!iciary will ai- so continue ta be eligible for as- sistance with fuel during winter months, together with free medi- cal service for the whole family and free dental treatment for the children. There are 6,900 mothers in receipt of allowances, about 2,000 having husbands classified as permanently disabled. About 16,700 childron are provided for. To be eligible, a woman must be eîther a widowv, the wife cf an unemployed husband, or the wife of a man who has deserted for more than a year. The new imaximum places the beneficiaries on the samo level as the widaws pensioned under the Workmen's Compensation Act.
