QUEEN ALEXANDRA OWNS GARDEN OF RARE BEAUTY
Perfect Revel of Roses Form Most Enchanting Part of
 Luxuriant Grounds.

King George has many gardens worthy of the regal palaces or which they are the setting, but none so per feet In It's beauty and its peace as that of Sandringh ghaln, beloved by the Queen Alexandra.
 Standing on the terrace, front, the eye rests on a scene of rare beauty. Here are no "geometrical beds of gorgeous moisac," no groups or sta tuary in fact, none of the meretri- cious devices of the so-called grand" gardens
 The velvety turf descends in shallow slopes to the lakes, It's blue surface dotted with tiny islands whose trees are mirrowed in water. There the lake narrows until 8 pretty little rus tic bridge is able to stride across it; and farther on it dinlinishes into a stream, tricl1ling through purple hea- ther and fringes of feathery bam- boos, while over all are the singing of birds and the soothing cry of the wood pigeon.
 But sweet as the picture is, and restful beyond expression, it is not here that Queen Alexdrana finds her chief delight. Her favorite haunt is certain wild garden into which the scientific gardener never ventures.
 
 the wild flowers which she loves so well; and here in spring are go1o-r, beds of primroses, which she gathers in handfuls to send her rrIenus or to fill the vases in her boudoir.
 We must ramble further into the park to reach the most enchanting g part of the Kings garden, which in summer time is a perfect reve1 of roses. Tine Queens favortte are pink China roses; and of the variety Ar mosa there are no fewer than 10000 plants So prolific have they provid- ed that. from a single bank four feet high, no fewer than 10000 blooms have been taken in one morning.
 But although the Queens favor ite flowers are rose, she also has a passion for vio1ets of every hue, to the raising of which 200 feet.of glass is devoted.

K. OF C. PEACE
 SESSION WILL
 FIGHT RADICALS

The steady wave of Bolshevisrn and social unrest that is sweeping the world and threatening to lay its pois- onous tenacles even upon the Unite States can only be successfully com bated with through education, in tn 3 opinion of the leading educators of the country who are conferring in New York this week to draw up q curriculum for the Knights of Co., lumbus night schools which are to be started soon all over the country. The plan of nationwide education for everybody who wants to take ad- vantage of the offer. and also for the 6O0,U00 members of the order, is to be presented by the educators to the k. of c. Peace Convention which is to be held in Buffalo on August 5-e and 2.
 Rev. John J. Wynne, S. J., editor of the Catholic Encyclopedia, who is one of the leaders of the conference says there is no ready cure for Bol- shevism, and all the other fallacious- is1ns of political and economic phil osophy in the mere crying of "Ameri- canism."
 This is one of the items of the pro- grame which Is being prepared for the consideration of the peace con- vention of the Knights of Columbus in Buffalo. The program will run all the way from courses of philosophy in one syllable words, as suggested by Father Wynne to such practical things as trades, stenography, busi- ness methods, languages and physical training. It is aimed to furnish any person struggling in the battle of life with what he needs.
 The 2,000 councils of the Knight its of Columbus with their 600, 900 mem bers will provide for those courses as they are needed in the various To- calities, and the whole system will be supervised by experts engaged for the purpose.
 The entry of the order into the ed ucationaL field is a new departure and is the result of its success in welfare work with the armies at home and overseas during the war While 1t is planned to exact small fees for the proposed courses, the councils prob- ably will be asked to provide a gen eral fund for supervisory expenses and to provide for the remission ot fees in worthy cases.
