We vis- ited the place where Shakespeare" was born and where he was brought up to "his father's craft of wool-qcornbing. ~ and where many relics are to be seen. including the favorite chair of the great poet; the school where Will Shakes-_ peare got that earlyinstruction from which developed his great mastery of English; the quaintold Trinity Church. hard by-the` softly flowing Avon and sheltered `by stately : elms, where his body lies beneath a flat stone on which are rcelrved these words. said to have _ been written by himslelf: ' "Good friend, for Jesus sake. forbeare To dig"-the` dust enclosed here. . Blessed be he that spares these stones. iAnd curst be he that moves my haunts." A delightful train ride of an hour -I and forty minutes through charming rural scenery landed us at Leaming- ton. the very heart of England. Just - outside this town is a big oak which is said to be. mathematically the "centre of England. Filling the waiting char- abancs, we drove through fair War- . wickshire to Warwick Castle. Through a wide moss-greenroadway cut. out of the solid rock, we entered the grounds of the finest oid feudal castle of Eng- land, much of which is in a fine state of preservation. The battlements. towers and turrets of this ancient feudal stronghold. with its magnifi- cent old cedars of Lebanon, wonderful grounds and great velvet lawns made a most impressive picture. Someone has said, grass is an art anda sci- encein Engla`nd---it is an institution. With this we quite agreed after"seeing the lawnsat Lord Burnham's. at War-, wick Castle and in other places. Im- posing. as is the exterior of this castle. the interior is quite as indicativeof the wealth and powers-`of `the great house of Warwick. In the `magnifi- cent rooms are` wonderful collections of paintings, ' tapestries. furniture. vases, antiques, arms. carvings, etc.. ` collected by generations of this pow- erful family. Competent guides. with . their vivid descriptions, made the old ` rooms live anew. A varied collection of medievalarms--attracted much in- terest-V-battle-axes. cross-bows. arque- buses. a Turkish beheading -knife and a revolving gun from which Mr. Colt got his idea of, the revolver. being among them. The armour. too, gave -one a better idea of the conditions under which the knights of old fought. Cromwell's helmet is one of the exhib- its. Among the works of art are some beautiful carvings by Grindley Gib- bone. paintings by Holbein. Vandyke, Sir Joshua Reynolds. Rubens. Guido. Paul Veronese and other masters. Two which `stand out in my memory are the superb full-length portrait of the Countess of Lorraine by Vandyke. - and Holbein s portrait of that selfish. brutal. unfeeling. tyrant Henry-VIII. . One might spend a day on the pic- tures alone. One of _the'main. fea- tures of the castle is the great hall 62 feet long, 85 feet broad andfully ` as high. It is lighted by three mod- ern windows. which give one an op- portunity to see the thickness `of the walls--over eight feet. From these windows lovely, views may be had of the Avon and surrounding . land- scapes. The lengtbof the suite of apartments visible from the V hall is 830 feet, which gives some idea of the massive scale upon which this castle was built. In the hall is what is popularly\ called Guy's Porridge Pot. It holds about 120 gallons and was really. a garrison cooking pot. . 'l`hA nnrk Affnnhnrl tn u: nnnfln nnm... BUUH Ill LIIU sruuuun. A visit was paid to Beauchamp Chapel. ' built b,v..Richard Benuchamn. Earl of Warwick. as a. mortuary chapel for himself. It is one of the finest structures of its kind. Among its most striking features are the gra.nd_tombs'which it containsp Leaving the chapel.` we drove to Stratford, passing on the way. Ley- cester Hospital. a fine specimen of halt-timbered construction dating back to 1571. At Stratford we were .cordi- ally received by the Mayor and Council and mast hospitably entertained to_ luncheon at the city hall. On this `occasion we were happy to have as spokesman for our party a native 01' Btrqttord, Hugh -Savage, publisher of the Cowichanl Leader, Duncan. B.C., whose tatiier still resides in that city.

The park attached to the castle com- prises over 702 acres, ofwhich about 36 acres are laid out in ornamental grounds affording some delightful views. At the greenhouse is the fam- ous Warwick vase, 5 feet 6 inches high and 5 Ateet eight inches in di- ameter. It is one of the remains of Grecian art and was dug up at Had- rian's` Villa, Rome, in 1770. For sev- era] years the Warwick family have not been able to maintain the castle and estate and a wealthy American has been, occupying the living apart- ments; Many gorgeous peacocks were seen in the grounds.

This was in large mea- sure due to the splendid manner in which the general arrangements as to transportation, etc., were looked after bythat world-famous tourist agency.` "Phos. Cook & Son; on -.this part of our journey, we were accompanied by their representative, Mr. Lewis, who had been` with us `since our arrival` at Southampton and by Mr. Bonner-- two men whose knowledge of travel vand capacity for organization com- pletely relieved us` of all the petty details which usually worry people_ when travelling under conditions with which they are not familiar. As far as matters ot travel were concerned these men from Cook's seemed to, be pretty nearly omniscient. The organ- ization built up by Thos. Cook `& Son is a remarkably efficient one and one that has solved the worst travel prob- lems for tens of thousands. ` `V.

Armstrong (Secy.) and Sir James Owen, J .1 . representing the English `Newspapers Society,- and Sir Harry Brittain, M.P.. Sir Frank Newnes. Messrs. Percy I-Iurd and, H. E. Turner (Secretary), representing the Empire Press Union. All of these were untiring in their attention, sup-_ plementing the thoughtfulness which had` prepared for our visit with .true British g'enerosity and thoroughness by personally accompanying us much of the time and thereby adding im- mensely to the pleasure of our trip. It was an exceedingly busy time these good friends had planned for us, but if unanf fhvnlmrh with astonishing %ovisasI2As ma Emma r and progressive health resort. "end. Lnllllllllbn ' Next morning we had an opportunity of seeing something of this~attractBive e- fore we left our hotel. we took a stroll `:1.-.-ound' the grounds belonging to the. hotel---lieautiful lawns. hand- some shrubs and a charming rose garden, It was such a place as one might spend a delightful, quiet week-* A visit was paid to the pum house. where after drinking or the mineral water of this famous spa. we were shown over the system of baths where thousands of people" are treated annually for various ills. It was Dr. Jepson who got the waters ' in "great repute a century ago and after. him `were named the Jepso.n Gardens where we spent a idelig_htful half hour under the guidance of Aid. Holt, chairman of -the Parks Com- mittee. Roses were the chiet attrac- tion for us, a particularly noticeable one being a huge Aiberic Barbier fully twelve feet high and a mass of bloom. vAs I was walking across the park on the way to the station with Major Frank Glover, managing dir- ector of that fine Weekly the Learning-3 ton Courier. I was surprised to find in him a link with Barrie. he being a nephew of the late Mrs. Bromhead Russell. Major Glover gave his whole time to our party while we were in J 1 I The day had been a trying one'ow- flng to the oppressiveweather, the mer- cury standing at about 70 with a very humid atmosphere. Consequently we were not in the best of shape to en- joy the banquet and entertainment tendered by the Mayor of Leaming- ton. the Chamber of Commerce and the Press of the Midlands. This at- fair was held in the spacious and beautiful town hall, the spread was an elaborate one and the "spirit of the people most cordial. Lord Leigh, Lord Lieutenant of Warwickshire, and Sir Edward Iliffe, M.P., were among the speakers at the banquet. A delight- ful programme of vocal and instru- mental `music was part of the enter- tainment. ` 'K'Y.-.04 ...........:.... ..... 1.-.: 1... .__.._-.,A._,,nA_ haltthglireg building twitth a thgttihed .roo ' s orms par~o a'susa.1i- Itial farm-`house. or the Elizabethan period and shows that. the Hathaways iwre -people of means.

In ancient times it was one of the most importanymilitary strongholds in Eng- land, accommodating a large garrison and protected by an artificial lake and broad moats. Today great ivy-mantle ed towers are all that remain-. yet these ruins suffice to indicate its vastness and strength. `On the north side is the garden which formed Amy Rob- sart s retreat (in Scott s novel) after her escape from the Strong Tower. It was in this castle that Robert` Dud- ley, Earl of Leicestenreceived Queen. Elizabeth on several occasions in most sumptuous fashion, one of her visits lasting for seventeen days. During the Commonwealth, the castle was dis- mantled, the lake ofover 100 acres drained, and the lands divided among several of Cromwell's officers. some `of whom carried off much material from the castle to build houses. `Mo of lasting distinction I THE gift of a Brunswick reflects the `good judgment of the suggests the posses- - sion of a cultivated taste for good musicon the part of the recipient. ` For the Brunswick 'b'as now become the `standard of comf~.rison--the very symbol of musical merit combined with tasteful beauty of design "and woi-k'manship--an which adds charm to the nes: home. ,~ _ _ i .

They were. well taken care or. however, by the railway officials and arrived in Torquay by regular train a few hours after the rest of us. It was `a. long run from Leamington to Torquay, our special with scarcely a stop taking 4% `hours. On the way we passed two places with familiar names-Stroud and Painswick. It was 3.30 when we reached Torquay.

The -percentage, for, p the whole of the United States was 52.8. It is interesting to compare this with the 73.7% polled in Britain just a few days previously. The interest of Can- adians in public affairs is on the av- erage as high as that of either Britain or the United States. yet there is a deplorable lack of knowledge concern- ing the administration of Municipal. ` Provincial and Dominion -affairs.
