Lllla nu. ..was spent on one of the most attrac: tive reaches of the upper Thames. We had often. read and seen pictures of the beauties. ofvthis famous river but `neither did it justice.- Its banks are beautifully weoded with elms. copper beeches and other large trees,.while along the, shore are charming cottages, each with its pretty garden in which roses and other flowers abound. Even at that hour of the mornimz. the river was alive with punts and canoes car- rying parties, out tospend the day on the river. The punt, a longcraft square at both ends and propelled by a pole, seemed the favorite. People . reclining in them; propped up by pil- lows; were pictures:-:_of solid comfort. This, however. could"not be said of the fellows poling the punts. That look- ed like real work. Paddling a Cana- dian canoe seemed more to our liking. Coverings are provided against "rain and sun and it seemed the fashion to have -the picnic meals on the punt. Passing l.`wic,-kenham Ferry. famed in the song. we came upon many house- boats. a kind of summer iome which is not now so `much in demand as it used to be before motor cars became so common. There was ample variety ' in name, form and decoration. One was called Cigar-ette." Some of the larger ones had smaller boats for the domestic staff.

This landed us at last at the village of our destination, where a telephone brought a motor in which to com- plete our journey. Lord and Lady Burnham were awaiting us at the door and as they greeted us with hearty handclasp and `welcoming smile we immediately forgot our inconveniences in the warmth of their hospitality. Lord Bufnham conducted us aboutthe grounds, telling something of the his- tory, of Hall Barn. It was once the property of Edmund Waller.. the poet. who died therein 1687.
