'"n @a wonderful, too, Of

ri tor, to TritisA m"so"m, Vie
toria and Albert museum (wherc VIC
cG ID to meet the QrooA) and by
70 McaHs least, London tower. Can
vcl realize it was actually there
that bloody Mary, Jane Grey, Essex
ard loads of others lost their heads
most hopelessly. The armory was a
treat with the actual armor worn
by Henry VIII, leicester, Charles l
and others, as well as interesting
suits of tournament armor, lances,
neck spikes. etc. Some horrible
things here, too, were the blocks,
thumbscrews, rack, etc.
Woman like, though, I must ad-
nit, loved the shopping part of
| London, Oxford and Bond streets,
Piccadilly and the Strand-there !
just thrilled and thrilled and want
ed to spend millions
Olive and took one weekend of
our London time to spend in Bur
F.; ton-all spent with Mr.. Jeffcott's
family. That is lovely memory
a perfectly dear English family, with
a darcy" and an Eric" and a
"Wilfred" and other lovely English
names as we'll as ways.
Next came Paris. Some way I've
never sighed for Paris much and
was very loath to leave London to
60 there; had terrible CROUCH
all day-crossing the channel. Paris
though is beautiful, everything
sparkling clean and no pains or
money spared to secure the beautiful
effect in streets and buildings. YER
sailles. Petit Trianon, Malmaison,
Place de las Bastile, the Louvre-all
these we enjoyed, Of course, but you
have read of them from so many
others who write so much better
than I, won't try to describe them
here.
In Paris we met q friend of
brothers, an Oxford student, who Is
: spending his vacation in the Latin
quarter. Knowing him, gave us the
chance to "snoop" around down
there somewhat, as we'll as to visit
a very gay French cafe. Some of our
steamer friends were also with Ut
: here.
From Paris we went to Brussels
: thence to Cologne, where we saw, o.
b course, the wonderful cathedral ant
the beautiful picture of Queer
), Louise; then Mayense and Wiesfa
/ den, and took the trip down tn,
= Rhine, beautiful, Of course, but no
IS more so, think, than our river Hud
: son, though, Of course, the castle
: make it lovely, Bingen, Die Lovelei
II the Hause and others.
Then my adored Heidelberg
a Doesn't the very thought of Heidel

u dear little village snuggled dow

N so exactly like I'd always imagine
o. them, especially since l saw tina

as course and enjoyed it immensely.
