On July 1.1927. the good ship “Letitia sailed from Montreal en route for Glasgow Scotland. On the St. Law1ence. with the shores in 3"ie33 on eitl1e1 side it doesnt seem as though one were really started on an ocean my age, but when towards evening of the second dav a heavy fog descended everyone realized they 33 ere out fox more than an af- ternoons holidav. It so happened that for two nights the steamer had to 1213 to owing to log. and during the. day she madev er3' slow progress. In the Strait of Belle Isle several icebergs appeared. some coming quite close to the ship. Finally the shore disappeared icebergs and fogs 33"e1e left behind. the steamer in- creased her speed and in a few days the green shores of Erin were in sight. On Sunday evening. nine days after leaving MontIeal. the Letitia sailed up the Clyde in all the glory ofa Sunset behind the rugged hills ot Scotland. It was indeed a wondrous sight!

Keswick is one of the quaint little towns wou would ever wish for. Situated near Derwentwater with a background of hills, every way you look. it seems quite out of the path of the bustling world. The narrow cobbled streets with oldâ€" fasl'iioned houses placed in old- l'ashioned flower gardens. all com- bine to entrance you. In this 10- cality we lind a monument to Rus- kin. the home of Southey and Col- eridge. and a very old church at lirossthwaite Village where Southey is buried.

It happened that dur- ing our stay at Stratford-onâ€"Avon. Shakesgieare’s play “Henry V” was being played in the theatre and we felt it quite a privilege to see one of his pla 's in his birth place.

Ev- ery little girl plays "I’m going to: London to visit the Queen" and at? last we reached London! It was‘ indeed thrilling to finally be in this city. Needless to say one could spend years in London and still find new old interesting places and things. Westminster Abbey, the national Valhalla of England, really makes one feel that one is sur- rounded by the great peOple of the past whose names are familiar to all, especially the Poet’s Corner, where we find busts, tablets and in- scriptions to Browning, Shakes- peare,_ Diokens and many others. Kensington Gardens and Kensingâ€" ton Palace, where Queen Victoria was born and spent her girlhood, are both very interesting and full of tender memories. Everyone is interested in Buckingham Palace and the change of the Guards there, also the change of the Horse Guards at White Hall. Crowds gather around both these places to watch the change which takes place about every two or three hours and is quite an unusual sight for strangers in London. St. Paul’s Cathedral is spoken of as the crowning architectural glory of London. The tomb of Sir Chris- topher When. the architect, is in the crypt of the church._ The National Gallery, Trafalgar Square.

As one travels through the towns and cities of England and Scotland. and views the colleges. churches castles and many other works of former days. it does strike. one very l'oicibly that our countiy is indeed in her infancy in thought and art.

Thin round slices of cheese, two or three kinds of rolls. gingerbread, jam. marmalade, coffee and choco- late in abundance were placed 011 the table and we did enjoy our first meal abroad. Later in France and Italy especially, when two rolls and a cup of coffee or chocolate were the usual breakfasts, We appreciat- ed more our delightful breakfast in Holland. After breakfast we took a drive around The Hague and saw the modest Royal palace and also the luvme of Princess Juliana, who now being of age, has a home of her own.

One realizes some what he“ mam 0t our boxs are lv ing there. 10111 hundred and thirlx cemetries are leund in the Ypies salient alone. At St. Julien, in the cemetery for Uanadian soldiers there stands a very fine monument surmounted with a figure of a Can- adian soldier. Every tree and shrub in the cemetery was brought from Canada and there is a rose- hush for 12\ my soldier. Arrows point from the monument to St Julein Ypres Passendale. Pael Chapelle and other places oi battle. At Ypres, the ruins of Cloth Hall are being; lelt as a memorial to British soldierm They are rebuild- ing the Cathedral. Here also is the Mennon Gate, a memorial to un- known, soldiers who fell at Ypres. There are several German ceme- trit‘s. ton and this is the first, year they have been taken care of, but the Germans are paying the Bel- gians to keep them in order now. We visited trenches and dugouts and realized, truly, what conditions existed during the Great War. Finally we reached Paris, the Mecca of tourists, the city where it is “Ovth while to take a taxi to cross the street and so save your mm life! ..v THE DURHAM oHRONICLE Canadian Soldiers’ Graves Royal residence of French kings, until the time of Louis. XIV, who removed his court to‘ the Palace of Versailles. The Venus do Milo, the famous Greek statue, 3' is one of the treasures of the Louvre and/Leon- ardo de Vince’s “Mona Lisa” is also found there. wwâ€" The 'Ilrocadero 1s a temple dedi- cated to the glorification of muSIc. It is considered that great honor 18 given to any - artist who sings or plays here. Our guide told- us the story of the origin of “The Lost Chord”. It seems that at the open- ing of the music temple manymus- icians were in attendance. Sir Ar- thur Sullivan was noticed in the audience by the president, who asked him to play the opening num- ber. Sir Arthur sat at the organ, silent for ten minutes, during which the audience waited puzzled and wondering. Then he broke into the notes of “The Lost Cherd”. It seems that six weeks previously he had been divorced from his wife whom he loved deeply, and his thoughts, apparently on his sorrow, he was paralyzed. Then this great com- position came from the depths of his soul. From the Trocadero one gets a splendid view of Eiffel Tower. In fact this can be seen from anywhere, seeming almost to touch the sky. At nigh-t it is light- ed and so is still in view. The trip to Versailles was quite unique. En route we visited Mal- maison, the home Napoleon gave to Josephine. Here there are many beautiful old things, prOpertieS of both these people whose names we see mentioned so much. The stables, too. were worth seeing, containing the old sleigh and carriages of these celebrities. From Malmaison we proceeded- to the town of Versailles which was built simply as a dependency of the Palace or Chateau of Versailles. Louis XIV built a palace for himself and thena town to harmonize. The Palace is beyond description. The beautiful painted ceilings, furnish- ings. rugs. ehinas. all of such rich- ness. certainly made you think of the expense incurred to build, dec- orate and equip this chateau at a time when men. women and child- ren. throughout the land. were starving in order to pay their taxes. Revolution was but. a natural out~ rome. The gardens are a work of art. Small lakes with fountains playin", beautiful walks and flower beds all made it a very attractive spot. (")11 holidays these fountains play, at great expense. but they are so beautiful that great crowds vis- it. the gardens on these days. The Grand Trianon. another re- minder of the gayety and extravag- ance of Louis XIV is a handsome oneâ€"storm‘ villa beautifully furn- ished and adorned by him for- his mistresses. Madame do Maintenon and Madame Pompadour. Later the Grand 'l‘ri-anon was used as a sum- mer home by the Royal family. Queen Victoria was invited to VlS~ it at the Grand Trianon and we saw the beautiful suite of rooms pre- pared for her. However. the good Queen in the meantime, learned for whom the Grand Tri'anon had been originally built and refused to go. This villa is not very far from the Chateau of Versailles. Near by is the Petit Trianon built by Louis XV for Madame Du Barry. Later this belonged to Queen Marie Antoinette, who loved to retire from the gay court life. dress as a shepherdess or a milk- maid and 1i\e the simple life in thi~ small house and the little ham- let. she had_ bui__lt ”close by.
