all the haunts known to thein in child-

was damaged little in the war. Mrs.
Taylor was intrigued by the names
of the streets. The meanest ones i.Ii-
the city are given the ,regal. names
of King -and -Queen.; Other peculiar
ones are "Velvet Walks," and. "Chapel
Alley." There are aures and acres of
beautiful parks in this busy •industrial
city. .In one of these the border of
a flower bed had inscribed on it "M.

Needless to say, Mr. Taylor took a
"snap" of 'the ' name. -
