CLOSE UP OF Chalfont St. Giles and Penn By ELIZABETH RICHMOND Motorists driving through the south of England from London to Oxford are often diverted by a signpost at the end of a lane, not many miles from Beaconsfield, in Buckinghamshire. It shows that this is the way to Jordans, the old farm- house with the barn made from the timbers of the ship, the Mayflower, which carried the Pilgrim Fathers to North America. Nearby is the Quaker meeting-house with a small graveyard in which is buried Will- iam Penn, founder of Pennsylvania, The meeting-house is reached first. It is a grey little building built by celebrated Quakers in the reign of King James II (1633-1701) with unvarnished deal benches and a plain brick floor. Portraits and autographs of pioneer Quakers hang on the walls. In the graveyard, near the spot where Penn is buried, lie other famous Quakers. One of these was Joseph Rule, known as the White Quaker, because he dressed in undyed clothes, A short walk leads the visitor to Jordans, a dignified farmhouse standing in a pleasant garden which has an atmosphere of peace' and serenity. Today this is used as 'a hostel where the weary traveller can enjoy a restful week-end or a casual meal. At the side of the farmhouse stands the barn which many people journey across the Atlantic to see. For in 1625, when the Mayflower - was broken up, Jordans Farm be- KELLOGG'S FOR ASTHMA EL NE 3 AY 1% longed to a man named Gardiner whose relative had sailed on that memorable voyage. It is' believed that this Gardiner'had a share in tae ship, and ultimately acquired it. One of the beams, which came from the ship's stern shows the let- ters R, HAR. for the ship was built in Harwich, Essex. On a door of the kitchen farmhouse there is a carving of a mayflower. One fragment of the timbering has gone. It was. cut out and presented to Americans who set it in a place of honour on the Gate of Peace on the boundary of the United States and Canada. When the traveller has resfed at Jordans he will follow the lane until he comes to Chalfont St. Giles. There he will find a little cotage, which was the home of the poet Milton (1608-1674) who came here in 1665 from London when the Great Plague was sweeping through the city, The blind poet brought with him the manuscript of his famous poem Paradise Lost. After his friend, Thomas Ellwood, the Quaker who had lent him this cottage, had read Paradise Lost, be suggested that Paradise Regained should be a sequel and Milton began to dictate the new work to his daughter, The cottage, "a pretty box", as Ellwood described it, is now a Milton museum. It is of brick and timber with a dormer window and a charm- ing little room with-a latticed case- ment on the ground floor. In the museum the visitor sees priceless first editions of the poet's work, printings, portraits and relcs of the days in which he lived, Outsde the cottage there is a stump of an old elm tree. It flourished in Milton's time and beneath it the blind poet often sat, The ancestors of William Penn lived a few miles away in the village of Penn and are associated with the old church. This church was once given away as a most unusua)] wed- ding-present. King Henry VIII pre- sented it to Sybil Penn when she married, She had been governess to his daughter, Princess Elizabeth. It was built in the 14th century and when it was restored a few years ago, some fine medieval paintings of the Last Judgment were found. THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE ©.

Al- ways, she added, the sound of silks and the fragrance of perfume pre- cedes their arrival and lingers after their departure. "Private custcmers receive all the privileges of a buyer because they know no wholesale in Paris," she exclainied, Stylists rate their cus- tomers in the following order of prominence, American, South Amer- ican, East Indian. princesses, who are newcomers since the recent in- dependence of India and lastly the Scandinavian group.
