Chateaus NoU City Parks

Many French chateaus, with won
derfu old gardens with sun dials,
were partially destroyed In the war.
Their fire-scarred ruins still stand. In
many cases their parks have been
taken over, just as they stood, for
city gardens, says the Kansas City
Star.
The artificial water makes the VII
lage pond. The flower beds, without
much trouble. have been converted
into part OF the public gardens. The
former owners, dead or dispersed,
would hardly know their own houses
and grounds II they could see them to
day.
This work Of transformation is like
sort of object lesson and a very
crude one in France. The same proc
ess, more slowly evolving and less ap-
parent, is going on elsewhere, too.
Great estates are being broken up and
sold in Belgium as well as France,
and what served for the amusement
Of single family is now the part
property of perhaps hundred.
