styles were all made up in little doll dresses, and placed around the store. Today we went to Windsor. Onthe way we passed Eton college, and within a mile of Stope-Pozis church. Windsor castle is most extensive building; you enter one great gate after another. One of them Is the old Norman gate, some say built by William, the Conqueror h. side the first court yard are dwellings, of the retainers of the castle, pretty red brick buildings, trimmed with dark wood and surrounded with flowers. From the high tower one can see London and eleven counties. There are 232 steps leading up to it. guide took us through the state apartments, the only ones shown without a special permit from the lord chamberlain. The carpets were up and most of the furniture covered. We had to go up a narrow, winding stairway, but there is a grand one of marble that Is open when the rooms are used There are many portraits Of the sovereigns by Rubens, Vandyke and Sir Joshua Reynolds. The banquet hall is 200 feet long, and the guide said the great oak table was extended to that length when in use. There were great number of the queens jubilee presents. One was a magnificently carved ivory chair, given her by an Indian prince; another was two immense. fans made Of ostrich feathers, and given by the ostrich farmers In the Congo Free State In the Waterloo room is a part of the mast from Nelson's ship Victory used in the battle of Trafalgar.
