in the presence OF gression, in the

convinced that Tess and Angel couldn't
have found more satisfactory surroundings
for ArcadiaD love-making. A jolly, red
faced old party took us through his model
dairy, where the huge churns go booming
and mounds of red and yellow cheese lie
on long stone tables. We asked him If
his name was Crick, but he gravely shook
his head and said it was Bellows, which
didn't seem in the least Hardycsque.
THE TRAGIC HONEYMOON.
Now, If you undertake a Tess pilgrim
age, don't fail to go down to the old stone
farmhouse in the valley of the Froom,
where Angel took his wife TO spend the
first few days of their tragical honey
moon. You can walk, OF gig, or bicycle
the distance from the diaries in a couple
of hours, and it's there, intact, gloomy,
and interesting, just as the poor bridal
couple found il.
We, too, had our tea where Tess and
Angel drank theirs, in the lower room,
where Tess told her story. We found rem
nants of those portraits on the wall that
SO alarmed The poor girl, and after tea the
artist took US down TO the old church,

laid Tess the night lie carried her off in

The last of our three days sojourn in
Wessex was spent late in the afternoon on
the top of West Hill, overlooking the old
town IF Wintoncester, where Clare and
LiZa-Lu stood hand in hand waiting to see
the black flag rise over the Jail tower that
would tell them of Tess death. ourchaperone
read the scene aloud in a hollow voice, and
shifting audibly remarked, as she closed
the book, that all men were brutes, at
which the artist lifted his hat, saying
Amen: but when he kindly put us into our
train, bound again for London, he warned
US TO tell our friends never to visit Wessex
in the summer. Then 1t is hot and droughty;
in the autumn the rains and fog are heavy,
for May is really the month in which to
visit the Tess country.

Where Tess

TOURS TO HOME OF HARDY'S
HEROINE THE FAD.
His Novels Have Turned the Tide
to the Picturesque Coast
of Dorsetshire.

'sIf you ark the average Englishman,"
said an American girl just home from her
European holiday, show to get to Wessex-
shire, for you can't find 1t on the map, he
tells you there isn't any Wessexshire at
all. but in Dorsetshire you Will find Yves

Then he goes his way with that sort of sad,
piercing smile We bestow or an English
man who wants To know what part
of Virginia Niagara is in. Now, the
reason we were so eager to find Wessex
was because we wanted to make a tour OF
the Tees country-Tess OF the D'Urbervilles,

Thomas Hardy. 1t takes only four hours

reach a little wayside depot on the out
skirts OF Dorchester, from which, by fol

| Gate, where Thomas Hardy lives.
OFF ON A PILGRIMAGE.
Quite number of Americans left the
train with us, bent on the same mission,
and loaded with cameras, sketch boards,
guide books, and those two most popular
novels of Hardy-"The Mayor OF Caster
Bridge" and Tess of the D'UrberviIIes -
We climbed the path to the front door
of the Hardy house, that must have lovely
views from every window, and Of the very
fields and villages, where many a scene OF
romance and tragedy has been laid. Mr.
and Mrs. Hardy were way on the CONT

the country people roundabout we heard

that the novelist is popular man in his

of apparently never read his books, for
nobody could tell US how to reach Caster

the heroine of our favorite novel
AMONG THE DIARIES.
From Chaseborough we went over into
the dairy district, and there were still
more artists sketching the picturesque
barns, the fat red cows, and the milk maids,
huge, rosy brawny creatures, as Hardy
would have you believe. We hung around
