VICTOR HUGO IN EXILE.
And the Attic Room In Which He
Wrote His Masterpiece.

A graphic description Of visit to
Victor Hugo In Guernsey and of his
quaint home there is given by the late
Sir William Butler In his autoblogra-
ply:
''Of the many curious things to be
seen III Hautcvlle house the master =
sleeping room was the strangest He
had built 1t on the roof between two
great blocks of chinneys. You as
cended to his workshop bedroom by
stairs which somewhat resembled q
ladder. Quite half of the room was
glass. and the view from 1t was mag
nificent. The isles of Jethou and Sark
were in the middle distance. and be-
yond lay many a mile Of the Norman
coast. Alderney lay to the north, and
beyond IL one saw the glistening win
dows of the triple lighthouses of the
CasQuet rocks and still more to the
right the high ridges overlooking Cher
bOnrg. The bed was small camp
bedstcad, with table on one side Of
il and small desk chest of drawers
OH the other. with pens. ink and paper
always within reach.
Near the bed stood a small stove,
which he lighted himself every morn
Ing and on which he prepared his cafe
au lait: then work began at the large
table which stood in the glass alcove
a few feet from the foot of the bed.
This work went OH till 1t was time to
dress and descend to dejeuner in the
room on the ground floor already de-
scribed. AS the sheets of writing pa
per were finished they were number
ed and dropped on the floor, to be
picked up. arranged and put away in
the drawer desk at the end OF the

the leaves which fell from it his SHAW

1T was at this table and in this airy
attic that most of the great work Of
his later life was done. Here were

PAID WITH A FLAG.
Rich Ducal Estates In England With q
Curious Rental.

1t is not generally known that on
the anniversary of Waterloo each year
June IS. 1915. was the original day
present the sovereign with new flag
bearing the French colOrs as an ac-
acknowledgement that his grace holds the
manor of Strathfieldsaye at the will
and pleasure of the king. that estate
having been presented to the Iron Duke
as national gift for his success over
Napoleon at Waterloo.
The. ceremony of the presentation Of
the flag is today much shorn Of its
ancient glory. for formerly the ruling
duke used to bring the trophy himself
on horseback and personally offered it
to the monarch. Nowadays it is sent
by deputy, however, and is then placed
by some appointed equerry in the po-
sition assigned to it-namely, over the
marble bust of the old Duke Of Wei
lington that stands on its pedestal in
the guardroom at Windsor castle. The
flag which has rested there during the
preceding year is then taken down and
returned to the dukes messenger.
1t is on the special condition Of thus
rendering this annual tribute Of feudal
service. as we may call 1t. that the
reigning duke is allowed to retain the
splendid estate already mentioned. If
he omits to send the banner on the
proper day he forfeits the right to the
estates.
The same principle applies to the
beautiful domains Of Blenheim held
by the Duke Of Marlborough. who SIM
ilarly has to send a new flag on each
anniversary Of the battle Aug. 13,
100. The banner Is placed over the
ough. also in the guardroom at Wind
sor.-London Sphere.
