London.-An interesting link con-
Meeting the London Of today with the
London of remote ages was made py

Paul's cross in st. Paurs churchyard.
There on the highest ground In the
great metropolis was made the nrst
settlement in far-off days and there

temple, which in due time gave way
to the first of the Christian edihces
which preceded the present cathedral.
The cross recently unveiled is the
successor Of other crosses, the MS

in the mists of obscurity. At the time
Of the Reformation there were prob
ably fewer than 5000 crosses In Eng
land, varying In size and shape ana
varying, too, in their uses. They were
to be found on the roadsides. at Cross
roads and at many other places all
over England, and a pretty and inter

WHEN MAKING A VALANCE
Difficulties Not at All Insurmount-
able II They Are Properly
Approached.

The main difficulty in making va
lance Is to keep 1t in place without
putting tacks into the furniture or
having 1t on narrow strips that pull
out from under the mattress. One
woman has hit upon plan of having
heavy unbleached sheeting cut just
the size of the bed, or little within
the line of the sides. The sheeting Is
shrunk before being used. The va
lance is sewed to 1t on each side and
across the end.
The cover is then spread over the
springs and under the mattress,
which holds 1t firmly in place. II the
valance Is of thin material, that needs
frequent washing. 1t is good idea to
put 1t into a narrow band, provided
with buttonholes at intervals close
enough to prevent sagging. Buttons
are sewed to the sheeting in places to
correspond.

New ST. Paul's Cross.

England. was proclaimed there. and in
1888 Queen Elizabeth attended in
state at thanksgiving service for the
defeat of the Spanish armada. Eight
years later. while the lord mayor was
at service there, he received an order
from the queen to raise 1000 men to
aid the French in the defense OF
Calais. Before eight o'clock that eve
ming the men had been recruited and
were marching on the road to Dover.
Among those who did penance at
the cross was Jane Shore, the ia
vorite OF Edward W, while still
more remarkable case was that OF
Lady Markham, wife of Sir Grimm
Markham. who in 1917 stood at the
cross In a white sheet and was fined
$4,000 for marrying one of her serv-
ants while her husband was alive.
This was the spot chosen, too,
when anything had to be denounced,
and consequently the bull of Pope
Paul II. was read from. threatening
all shoemakers who put peaks OF
more than two inches long on the
shoes they made. and censuring, as
well. all. whether shoemakers or not.
who went to fair on Sunday.
These are but few of the things
which took place at what was, In old
time, the center OF the public life, not
only OF the city. but also of the union,
for 1t was at once the exchange, the
club. and the meeting place of Lon
don. Here heralds proclaimed the
news of victories by sea and land;
here. we are told, men threw up their
bonnets when they heard of Crecy
and Agincourt;" here 1t was that
a sovereign brought his new-made
wife to show her to his faithful sub
jects; and last, but not least. 1t was
here that the wives and daughters OF
the citizens gathered for their little
gossips and fiirtations.
It was doomed to destruction. The
last sermon was preached there in
May 80. 1880. before King Charles l.,
and in 1643 the cross was demolished
by order of the long parliament.
The new cross is built in accord
ance with a bequest of the late H. O.
Richards, who left $4,000 for the pur.
pose. 1t consists of a Doric column
on the top of which is bronze figure
of st. Paul. nine feet high.
