Brackets Made up and »Laequered Any Color The following letter was roem by Mr. Lyle Gourley from his s ® Miss Lida Gourley, who is sojurning I will try to tell you what has hapâ€" pened. during the past week, but I can‘t go into detail because it would take forever. Last Monday (August 3) was‘ Bank holiday and it was on a bank holiday 11 years ago, that Engâ€" land declared war on Germany. It seemed as though . all London were in the streets. We walked to Kensington Gardens, not far from our hotel. I have drawn a rough plan to show you about where we are locatâ€" ed. Our book didn‘t say what day Kensington Palace was open and we walked there to get in if we could but learned that it is only open on Sunâ€" days. * j ( ' Children‘s Paradise t uns Kensington seems to be a children‘s paradise. Autos are not allowed in the gardens and the broad walk is full of nursemaids and little children. The round pond is a shallow â€"sheet waterâ€"made especially for boys to sai boats, and some of the boys are men for many. of the boats are handsome and large toyL and it is real exciting to see the wind fill the sails and take the small craft across the pond. â€" I do not blame the men for wanting to play. Each man and boy has a stick with a hook and when his boat lands he brings it in and reâ€"sets the sails. In the afternoon we went to Westâ€" minster Abbey to see the royafl tombs and the coronation .chair. There were ‘many, but the gmbs‘ most interesting to me weére Oliver Cromwell‘s and Mary Quéen of Scots. A service began to be conductâ€" ed and everyone was told to move on or take a seat. We took a seat. Many Church of England services are good, but I didn‘t care for this oné. The man who read the Scripture lessonsâ€" there is always a first from the Old. Testament and a seond from the New â€"read very well. Everything else was cold and formal.‘ After the service we walked across St, James‘ park to Lancaster House, called the London museum. The house was given to the nation by Lord Leverhume,â€"the man I told you made so much money manuâ€" facturing Sunlight soap and built a model city for his factory workers in Liverpool. P 2 ;‘ London Museum Interesting ‘ The London museum is a very inâ€" teresting place. The collection is deâ€" signed especially to illustrate the hisâ€" tory and the social and domestic life of London in all periods. The house itself was regarded as one of the finâ€" est residences in London when it was built. It was made for the Duke of York but he died and the Duke of Sutherland purchased it. The grand staircase is especially fine. I can‘t begin to tell you one tenth of what we saw. In the basement there were some interesting modelsâ€"little : toy buildings illustrating how Caring Cross looked about 1600; how the Lonâ€" don bridge of early days looked. _A moslel of old St. Paul‘s burned in the great fire of London in 1666, the modâ€" el of old Southwark with Shakesâ€" peare‘s Globe theater, and then a very exciting one of the great fire, a clever illumination â€" giving: the effect of flames and even aToke seems to be rising from the buildings., There is a larger model of the . tower and a set of rooms fixed up as they were in Newgate ‘prison cells. . The door of Newgate prison‘s cell for the condemned is there with its big key. There are pictures on the walls of. all the famous buildings either. standing or destroyed, and many old relics. I saw a bell that was rung by the man who drove the death cart during the plague. They rang the bell and cried "Bring out your dead!" I, suppose they didn‘t care to go into the houses. There are three floors of interesting thirigs. The upstairs has dresses worn by royalty and fgmous social beauties in different centuries. There are actual dresses worn by Queen Vicâ€" toria from babyhood to ‘old age, and a fine collection of jewels. After the doors shut we went to the back of St. James‘ palace. We saw where the Prince of Wales stays when he is in London and where the ambassadors are entertained at the palace. + St. Clement Danes | On Tuesday we went to St. Clemâ€" ent Danes church, the. church that Samuel Johnson went to. There is a statue of him in the rear. (In the street in front of the church is,; a Gladstone memorial. Next we visited the royal courts of justice, One ‘of the attendants took us around and ‘showed us the paintings hanging in the central hall, the statues, the court room where the lord chief justice ‘of England sits and one other court, sayâ€" ing "When you see one court room you see, them all." He pointed out the box where a.murderer stood two or three weeks ago when on trial He killed a butler in an attempted robâ€" bery. ‘He is to© be hung in~ three weeks. We sat in the lord chief jusâ€" tice‘s chair. I don‘t care about: such things, but he asked us to do it and it is the only thing to do when you are asked. It was to this building that the delegates of the American Bar associâ€" ida Gourley Relates Story of Trip In Letter \to Her mmmfi ./ | ation came last year ipr the year beâ€" 3 4| fore lutl. ‘I'Hux;:"‘ iber which, ‘TER FROM ENGLAND ) bet Chatles Hughes, dormer secretary PLACES OR Nom‘fl.,’:'w ,.,,"'m “@"&”’E ye w Blackstone.

Ever since 1846 it has been the dwnpinz of doctors and students of law. Some of the buildings are office buildings now. The Inner Temple is within the city boundary (the city is comparatively small) the Outer Temple‘ is outside the, boundary â€" and Middle ‘Temple stands between the two. @4 We . _â€"The Temple church is very interestâ€" ing, (It has a "Round Church" built in 1185â€"one of the four examples in England of the Norman round church.
