Dear Editor;
Thursday afternoon found us in

railway (not for its beauty but
speed) we made our way to Kew
/Gardens which are a little way out
of London, costing us 15 cents each.

A very beautiful spot with its spac-
i^iiF lawns and lily pools. England is
indeed the land of roses and flow
ers. They have had rather a wet
summer which has been so favorable
for them but for the farmer it has
proved very difficult. A geat deal
of hay has spoiled, also the grain Is
down being so soft in the straw.
Lovers of iris would have delighted
to see 31 beds with about 15 to 20
varieties together but the names
are different to ours or Americans.
|Some names noted were Faith, Cor
rida, Tom Tit, Steamboat, Crusader,
Regan, etc. There is also a mu
seum there with all kinds of wood

singular one was cloth made 'from

back to city by bus, go one way back
another. Tube may be quicker, but
■buses are more interesting.
Nothing doing next day in con
nection with Pilgrims so I journeyed
out to the country to look up friends
I had not seen for 33 years. It gives
me a peculiar pleasure to see people
after a number of years, some guess
pretty good, others you have to tell
them hot or cold, etc. Friday found
us at Leatherhead thirty mites out

Houses are all along the road pass

where the derby is run and not far
from Boxhill, Dorking, Guildford
in Surrey. The country is very
hilly and beautiful. Reaching my
friends I received a fine welcome,

Hopping back to London again on
the last bus at 10 p.na. At one a.m.
'train left for Dover, so waited two
hours at Cannon street station.
There were eight trains arranged
from London to Dover and we each
had our own trains by a tetter. We
reached Dover at 1.30 caught the
2.45 boat to Calais reaching there
at 4 o’clock and then waited for the
5.40 train to Paris. This was the
K Pink train and coming back was
the T. Blue train. We had lunch
at Calias consisting of (in Flrench
style) rolls and butter with some
thing called coffee. We -had to prac-
ically eat this on the run. Reaching
Paris at 11 o’clock

they were fed up with the first trip.

FLAGS
Dominion Day is one of our great
flag-flying days. Every club and
organization and almost every house
has it bunting out of the cupboard.
All over the country, from the Par
liament Buildings at Ottawa, to the
humblest village, there is something
to show that this is the National
Day, the day when in 1867 the prov
inces swung into line and establish
ed a Dominion, Vessels at sea and
in harbour join in the throng of re
joicing and dress ship with their in
ternational code flags.
Flags were known to the ancients,
although the standard or symbol
placed on the top of a staff, like the
Roman eagle, was more common.
National flags only evolved slowly.
The English white flag with the red
cress of St. George appears to have
been introduced by Richard J on his
return from the East, but it long
appeared side by side with others,
including the Royal Amorial banner
