Washington Junior Paper Car
ries Article of Barbara
BurruSS

The Junior Post section of the
Washington Post, dated July 20, car
ries a story written by Barbara Bur-
russ, age II years, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. w. B. Burruss, of Hemlock
Hollow, Oakland Her story was on
Versailles, France, and is here repro
duced:
OF all the places on my trip abroad,
trip that included England, Belgium,
Germany, France, Switzerland and
Italy, l think that | liked Versailles,
France, the best.
1t is short drive from Paris and
you leave by way of the Bots de
Boulogne boulevard, which is the
promenade for all the gay people Of
Paris.
The first thing to visit at Versailles
is the palace. The grounds surround
ing it are most beautiful.
There are on most walls and ceilings
of the rooms of the palace pictures by
famous artists.
You see in one room the cabinet and
table of Marie Antoinette and in an
other the table at which President
Wilson signed the peace treaty.
Louis XIV's bedroom is here also,
but only the bed and two tables are
original.
When you have visited the grounds
you should go to the Petit Museum,
where the coronation carriage of
Charles 1 is, and many other sedan
chairs, brides, saddles, sleighs and
carriages are preserved.
The Grand Trianon is the next place
to see. In it are the bedrooms of
Louis PHILIPPE and Napoleon.
In the Petit Trianon is the bedroom
of Marie Antoinette.
The Temple of Love, which is just
down the shady road from the Petit
Trianon, was built by Louis XIV for
jeanette Du Barry.
Still further down the lane is a
quaint old cottage with a matched
roof.
1t is the house of the Lord of the
Mill.
l think that is all there is to say
about Versailles, but if anyone going
abroad was planning to leave it out l
would advise them to replan their trip
so that it might include Versailles.

mer resident of Oakland, who died in

ceased was employed as book keeper
in Pittsburgh. No particulars concern
ing the cause of his death could be OBJ
tanned.
Mrs. Anna Smouse, of Oakland, suf-
fered an acute attack of appendicitis
last Friday night and was taken i'm
mediately to Cumberland where she
was operated upon at the Western
Maryland Hospital upon her arrival
at the institution. Her condition is
satisfactory to her family and the at
tending physicians and her return to
Oakland is a matter of but few days.
