| supreme lOurt VI LOUISIANA,
~ We crossed the courtyard and visit
ed the Bloody Tower. There we saw
r the ancient gate through which tht
prisoners, whether guilty or innocent
f were brought, many never to pass
f out. We saw the cell where Sir Wal
ter Raleigh was executed. BehinG
5 bars was copy of his history of the
world, and cross with wreath or
it that somebody had sent. We went
+ up a little winding staircase leading
i, to cell where many notables, chiefly
little princes were confined.
; From here we went to the Regalia
Tower in which the most marvellous
display of jewels is found, the crown
jewels. On state occasions of course,
the kings crown, the queens, and
Prince of Wales are removed to be
, used and then returned. My! You
should see them! The sergeant-at-
arms maces of gold are in there as
also some of the gold dishes used at
coronation feats. l can't begin to
tell you Of the wonderful Jewels so
shall not try. The largest ruby in
the world is in the kings crown, as
we'll as diamonds so large you would
mt believe your own eyes. They be-
wilder one.
From London Tower we drove
around some more and visited St.
Paul's Cathedral. In front, people
tvisitors) were feeding pigeons so
tame that they were lighting on
every ones shoulders. Just as Stod-
dard said: Zone who glanced at the
place and said It's too large and
empty and passed out, made a great
mistake" 1t IS immense but mar
velous1y Gothic. All of the big mill
tary and naval leaders are buried
there; there is room for $4,000 within
S; Paul's. The dome is 275 feei
high. Imagine! Gee! I'm tired and
literally stuffed with information. At
present l remember seeing the tomb
lof Nelson and the others were not
quite so familiar. The crgan is very
grand and its choir is the best in the
city.
| We passed Hyde Park, it is about
three miles long; Aihcct's monumert
is there. Around Buckingham Palace
there is an iron fence with peculiar
spikes on the top. We passed Par
Lament Houses, visited the British
museum which is like any other of
our best museums of Natural History.
The thing that took my eye was West
minister. Words cannot express my
emotions on entering that one place
of all places. We entered the sides
as the chimes were playing the hour,
walked down the aisle to the Poets
Corner. On both sides are busts,
figures, and buried under the floors
and marked were numbers of famous
names. We viewed the golden coro-
nation chairs in the Royal Chapel.
On the altar were exquisite easter
lilies. We saw Longfellow's bust, a
tablet Of Jenny Lind, Tennyson and
Browning resting side by side, figures
IF Goldsmith, Dickens, Shakespeare
tof course you know he is not buried
here), and a world of the others. We
passed behind the Royal Chapel where
the nobility is buried and struck out
across the main ailse to where the
unknown British soldier is buried.
This is one place where they will not
let one stand around 50 we moved on
to the gates. They are large, black
and imposing looking Of iron. You re-
member Princess Mary's wedding?
Well, she walked by the unknown's
grave, through the iron gates up to
the royal altar. Don't you know it
was sight! That's about all can
tell you about Westminster.
From here we visited Westminster
cathedral which has one of the high
est towers in the city. 1t is Catho-
tic church and has one of the finest
organs in the world.

We saw so many things but I'm
tired and must make this brief If
the weather is pretty tomorrow we
will visit the parks, gardens, ETC., if
bad we will take in the art galleries.
Well be in the city all day. Thursday
morning we will have to ourselves,
and Pearl and I will spend it in West
minister and the main shopping dis
trict. That afternoon we will visit
Warwick Castle-the> finest specimen
Of feudal architecture; the ancient
weird fnwars Sly, dia1s nointinus h1,
