PARTY, • • We were not permitted to enter the House of Lords as a court case was being tried. We understood that this. Chamber is more beautifully designed and decorated than , the Lower Chamber. At luncheon the party were enter- tained at the Princess restaurant by Lord Riddell, at which were members of the Empire Press Uniou London, the hIetropolis of the Bemire The Canadian Weekly Editors ar- rived at the heart of the Empireat a particularly busy time and at the height of the sodial season. The great exhibition at Wembley had at- tracted visitors from all parts of the globe and these together with the representatives from the different parts of the Empire who had charge of the various exhibits, taxed ale hotel accommodation and brought together peoples of different color and clrese. Outstanding .among th,em was the India costume with turban and varicolored rebes. The hotel accommodation for the Canadian party had been arranged for over a. year. Parties arriving without ac- commodation at times found it diffi- cult to4secure the same. One party who applied at the hotel at which we were staying had tried over a dezen hotels and wondered where' to try next, England is reserved and there is not the same tendency to throw open the 'doors of private homes for exhibition visitors the same as might be found in Toronto or some American cities. . VISITED EXETER but the board had finally agreed up- on a plan, satisfactory to all. Some had advocated last spring that the Board wait and see how the enrol1. went for this term would compare with last. Already the enrollment for the new term is ahead of last year. In 1921 the Board. had a revenue from county pupils of ?p'3,-• 252.94 and this year the revenue would be $8,155.56. Based on last year's attendance, if the debentures for the new building were spread over five years the eost to the town would be only one mill an the dollar and if spread over ten years it would be only half a mill. The increased attendance would reduce the cost to Exeter still further. Rest. A, A. Trumper stated that the Department of Education re- quired that physical training should be given. the scholars. .A. special grant was made for this purpose and teachers qualified to teach this brancb had to be engaged and yet there was no accoraoclation 'at the school for physical culture. Mr. J. Elston strongly endorsed everything the other speakers had eald. He thought it would be wise, if the council saw fit to grant the required amount so that building op- eration e might be commenced at once.

The party brought a Highland Band with theta and a couple of choice musical selections were given Meeting Exeter Friends Arriving in London direct from Paris there was little or no difficul- ty in getting our baggage throsigh the customs and large touring cars were awaiting to take ,the members to their respective hotels where din- ner was waiting. It,, was about 7 p.m. and when the editor of The Times arrived at the hotel at which he was staying word was awaiting that two Exeter ladies, Misses E. Follick and M. Jones were in the city. These young ladies had recent- ly come froth Glasgow where they had had a very excellent time attend- ing the World's Sunday School con- vention. It was one of the best con- ventions of its kind ever held. They were with a very congenial party and after a few days were leaving for Holland, Belgium and France. It was a pleasure to meet old friends from the home town and to swap experiences. The London program for the press party was well filled and in addition, with so many historic points of interest that were not on the program, ten days were alto- gether too few to take it all in. In fact a person could spend weeks in London and not see it all by ' any means. Visit Kensington Palace During the -afternoon the Party motored to KensingtondPaace, the Daily/Telegraph says of it as foll- ows:- To the Society of.. Women Jour- nalists was accorded yesterday the privilege, never before granted to any association, of holding A, recept- ion in the State Apartments of Ken- sington palace, in order to welcome the members of the Canadian Week- ly Associated Press. Pt was fitting that the hostesses on this occasion should be Miss Millington and Miss Masley-Lyon, for the former who was president of the society during the war, represented it an the only woman delegate invited to the con- ference, and throughout the tour of Canada of the Empire Press Uuion in 1920; while the latter is a mem- ber of the Society's Council. Princess Louise, Duchess of Arg- yle, the first .member of the leoyal House to go as she did. with the late Duke ' (then. Marquis of Lorne,) the oversea Governer -Generalship is affectionately remembered through- out the Dominion.; of the Duke of Connaught and Lady Patricia Ram- say, the younger as well as the' old- er generation; has the happiest re- collections. The presence of these three members of the Royal House so directly connected with Canada was a recognition of the visitors that was most highly appreciated by them. Their Royal Highnesses, with Lady Patricia Ramsay, came by way of the private staircase to the State Apartments, the guests meantime having assembled in the famous Cupola Room. It had been previous- ly intimated that their Royal High- nesses would permit the personal presentation of all the Canadian party, and Viscount Burnham, as President of the Empire Press Un- ion, with whom was Viscountess Burnham, President of the Society of Women Journalists introduced them. The Duke of Connaught, the Princess Louise, and Lady Patricia Ramsay shook hands with every one and in many cases added ,pleasant words of rememberance of previous meetings. Princess Louise wore a dress of cedar brown lace, draped over silk to match ani a let of the same color with ostrich feathers. Cream lace of bold patterning form- ed the dress worn by Lady Patricia Ramsay, with a large cream hat. Tea for the Royal party, in attend- ance.) upon whom were Sir Malcolm Murray, Colonel Machlahon, and Mrs. Holden, was served in the King's Presence Chamber, with it's interesting portraits of Peter the Great and Catherine, of Russia. After a short musical selection by the Misses Harrison, Mr, Walter G. Bell gave a brief address on the as- sociations of Queen Victoria with the Palace, taking many charming and characteristic passages from the diary kept by her late Majesty as a girl, and quoting the pathetic entry she made on leaving it as to her liking for 'the poor old Palace.' The company was greatly interested in *hat is now designated "the nurs- ery," and its connection with the -early girlhopd of our present Queen. A summary was also given of its earlier history under William and Mary, Anne and the first Georges, and of the share that Wren had in the building. In conclusion Mr. Bell reminded his audience that there was not a room that they had pass- es through that had not something of real history attached to it. . Westaninster Abbey - • ' Free Passes on London Busses The first morning we were hand- ed a small leather bound boolslet outlining the complete program for our stay in London and at the same time we were given a pass that en- titled us to ride free on the General and Metropolitan busses and the un- derground railway. We were ia- formed that this was the first occa- sion such a privilege had been grant- ed, and the conductors at first show- ed some curiosity in those little yel- low cards. The passes were much appreciated and were used consider- ably. The London trams, with their double decks were a novelty to us,' but we learned to appreciate them. Seated on the top of a tram one gets a fine view of the city and invariab- ly when boarding a tram we sought the upper deck. One of the roost im- pressive sights df the whole tour was one morning'seated on top of a tram car we passed down the Strand skirting Trafalgar Square into Whi- tehall. The traffic at this point was the most congested we had ever ex- perienced. From the top of the bus 'it looked like one solid 'moving. mass. The cars do not run on tracks but are motor propelled and the dri- ver has a litle seat in front. It seem- ed as if hundreds of cars together with motor 'vehicles, horse drawn vehicles, conveyances of all kinds and pedestrians packed the thoro- ughfare. Several streets centre at Trafalgar Square and the traffic was going in all directions. Slowly it wormed its way through the con- gested streets. As the -vehicles roamed away in „front, they seemed to gather in increasing numbers in the rear. Every 'available spot seem- ed to be filled. In the centre of the streets were small islands for the safety of the pedestrians. We were due o artrive at our destination at a certain hour and it seemed as if it would be impossible to make it, but after what seemed a long time, we finally emerged, realizing that what we -had heard of London traf- fic; was not in the least exaggerated Vieit to Parliament . .

Brittain, M. P., and Sir Howard Bull, M. P., we were shown through .this mother, of Parliaments Passing through several chambers, the importance of which were explained, we entered the House of Commons, and sat in the seats that had been occupied by Britain's famous statesmen. Our attention was called to dents that were made by the signet ring of Gladstone as he pounded the table in the course of his speeches. The House of Cern- mous is not a large and pretentious chamber, in fact the seating accom- modation is not sufficient to hoId all the ni.embers should the Y be present at one time. r4t the farther end is the Speaker's chair, in front On the first occasion that we had time for sight-seeing; our thoughts naturally turned to that grand old Abbey which is the mot historic and interesting church in England. As one draws near to the sacred edifices, he is greatly impressed witb the grandeur of the architecture and as we entered, the holy walls, a feeling of veneration and awe came over us. On every side, in what seemed almost every nook and tor - nen torahs, monuments and marble slabs marked the resting place of many of Britain's noble dead.. As we entered the building a service for students was in progress but was. soon over. A-6 the west entrance to the nave in the centre of the room is the unknown warriors grave. The grave was decorated with numerous wreaths and" sprays of flowers. As we tread the stone floors we obser- ved the names of many of Britain's sons who were buried beneath. On the walls were many marble slabs, the epitaphs on which recalled to memory heroic deeds and unselfish service for the Empire. Numerous chapels contain the tombs of many sovereigns, but the Abbey ceased to be the royal burial place' with the interment of George II, in 1760. Since that time the sovereigns have been buried sat Windsor.' One corner of the building (which is in the form of a cross,) is known as Statesmen's Corner; another as Poets' Corner; another as Musician Isle.

St. Paul's Cathedral Another of England's famous cath- edrals is St. Pauls, the first Prot- estant church built in England. The foundation stone of this church was laid in 1675 on the site of the old church destroyed in the great fire. St. Pauls, as indeed are most of the old cathedrals, is built in the form of a cross. In the centre is a gigan- tic dome with its whispering gallery so called because a whisper made on one side is distinctly audible on the other. Within this building are famous pictures and tombs. Nelson and Wellington are buried here and Wellington's funeral car is in the crypt. Holman Hunt's second paint- ing of his "Light of the World" hangs in one of the aisles. • HIBBERT-Patrick Ryan, '69 years old, of this tow,nship, died ton Tuesday, following an illness of two years.
