FAMOUS CHAPEL OF

WHERE PRINCESS PATRICIA OF

Memories of English Monarchs Haunt
Chapels Containing Scone Stone
of Marvellous History.
When Princess Patricia, daughter
of the Duke of Connaught and niece
of King George V., was married in
Westrnmster Abbey to Commander
Alexander R. M. Ramsay, R.N., a
commoner, she and her husband and
their witnesses signed the register in
the Chapel of Edward the Confessor.
The event spanned a vista of nine
centuries, stretching back to the time
when the royal saint reared the
chapel which bears his name. No
other part of England's most famous
abbey is so famous or so fraught
with hallowed memories as the Chap-
el of Edward the Confessor.
It is in the chapel that every Bri-
tish monarch, except Edward V., has
been crowned since the time of Ed-
ward IL, who ascended the throne in
1307.
Part of the coronation chair in this
chapel is the Scone stone, standing
on which the Scottish kings formerly
were crowned.
The stone has a history as old al-
most as history itself. It is said to
be the stone on which Jacob's head
lay at Bethel, when he had the dream
of the ladder reaching to heaven and
on which angels were ascending and
descending.

Edward the Confessor, who reign-

and dedicated it to Saint Peter. And
this was the beginning of what,
through additions by other kings,
grew to be Westminster Abbey.
In the Chapel of Edward the Con-

of England are buried. Of the kings,
Henry III, Edward I, Edward. III,
Richard II and Henry V are entomb-

about twenty-five cents should keep a
person's footwear treated for a year
or more.
The leather must be quite dry and
bare when yoh apply the varnish. You
should, therefore, wear new boots for
a day before treating them, Apply
the varnish at intervals of half an
hour until, the leather is so saturated
that the surface remains shiny in-
stead of becoming dull in places. Hang
the boots up to dry for about twelve
hours and they will be ready for wear.
It is a good plan to treat the soles in
that way about once a month. In ad-
dition to increasing the life of the
leather, the varnish makes it virtually
waterproof.

ROMANTIC BEGINNINGS OF WED-
DED LIFE.
Trip Through Cloudland, Sojourn on
Mountain Peak, Journey in Dense
Forests Are Among These
Bridal Exploits.
The aeroplane honeymoon of Major
E. L. Williams, R.A.F., and his bride,
who recently began their wedded life
in this unconventional fashion, was
not the first example of a eloudland
wedding trip.
As long ago as 1879 (when aero-
planes and airships were probably not
even dreamt of) the late Sir Henry
Colville, then a dashing young captain
in the Grenadier Guards, and his bride
startled society by opening their
honeymoon in a bailee!).
Probably one of the most romantics
and enjoyable of these aerial honey -
Moon trips was that of M. Camille
Flammarion, the famous Belgian as-
tronomer, and his charming and dar-
ing bride. For 13 hours they sailed
together "in company with the sunset -
kissed clouds and, later, under a
canopy of twingliag stars."
"My delight," Madame Flummarion
says, "was inexpressible; to sit be.
side my newly -made husband—here in
the sky, travelling I knew not -where.
We wore in the starry skies, having
at our feet clouds that seemed vast
mountains of snow; an impressive
unearthly landscape -- white alps,
glaciers, valleys, ridges, precipices. It
was a scene beyond all words!"
At one time there was quite a.craze
for freak honeymoons; they were
spent on tandem bicycles, in caravans,
on motor tours, while an American
took his bride from the church to his
small boat in which they were to cross
the Atlantic.

TO GO
An adventurous pair of Swiss lovers,
botil keen mountaineers, chose the
summit of Mont Blanc (which is 15,-
782 ft, above sea -level) as the place
for their honeymoon, and there, amid
the snow -clad pocks and under Arctic -
like conditions, they braved it to- '
gether for over a week.
Even more strenuous. and. hazardous
was the honeymoon of the Comte de
Lesdain and his bride, who left the
altar on a perilous journey from Pekin
to Calcutta, climbing mountains 20,-
000 feet high, tramping through. desol-
ate regions where for two months they
saw no living soul, escaping drowning
in swollen rivers as by a miracle, liv-
ing on the game they could shoot, and
wandering for days on vast deserts
and mud plateaux.
It was the fear of a boring honey-
moon that inspired Mr. Max Fleiscle
man, the American millionaire, to
spend $75,000 on an after -wedding trig
to the Polar regions. A special ship
was chartered and manned by a crew
of 19. When Mr. Fleischman returned
with his bride to Cincinnati he de-
clared the honeymoon worth every
Denny he had spent.
"Forty-seven days," he said, "ws
spent running steadily against the
gathering ice 111 an effort to land on
the north-east coast of Greenland."
Very fine sport was had, and the hap.
py couple, dressed in leather -lined
sheepskin, were lucky enough to kill
30 head of reindeer, 100 seals and 23
polar bears.
Most Adventurous of Trips.
When Major Powell -Cotton 'led his
bride to the altar at Nairobi, in Bri.
tish East Africa, it was the prelimin
ary to perhaps the most" remarkable
wedding journey ever undertaken,
Turning their faces westwards the
brave couple plunged into the very
heart of "darkest Africa," making
their way through hundreds of leagues
of dense forest, hob-nobbing with pig-
mies and cannibals, who had never be-
fore set eyes on a white woman, ex•
ploning the wilds of Congo Land and
"Uganda, and after a year and more of
such adventures as made Stanley
famous, finding their way back to
civilization,' travel -worn, but vowing
that they had had an "Meal honey-
moon."
Quite different was the b.Oneymooll
enjoyed by a well-known cyclist and
his bride. This resolved itself into a
run across Durope, via the Balkins, to
Constantinople by motor bicycle and
trailer, a trip which, although success-
fully completed, would have daunted
most young couples. Needless to add,
this happened before the war.
It was a Scottish couple who hit
upon the uncommon idea of spending
their honeymoon in a farniture van,
which they hired and had fitted up for
the purpose. In this somewhat pon-
derous vehicle they made their way
