III. -KENSINGTON PALACE–INSIDE AND OUT. Kennington palace, where Queen Victoria wag born and where Princess Louise now resides the greater part of the year, has only been open 'to the public since a year ago last May. As you ,may suppose, it is one of the places for sight•seerspand� con- tllr BaC� _ sequently, a place for me.

The memorial hall is a large, Dire building of red brick, has the usual pill entrance, stained glass windows and near the roof ire fresco, ill . one might speak of figures carved in mar The hall is not open except when comet i3' going on inside, and I believe Londe have many ,musical treats there. The monument is a wonderful piece workmanship and -like everything 4'ng has suoh a- Look of solidity and vast There is no filagree ornamentation abou but as you examine it you feel the ;des!

The first th notice is the huge marble corner pie The lower ones represent the four co nents, Europe, Asia -,Africa and Ameri The • next square, which is a little smal has for its corners commerce, manufactur art and music, and then that no great o might be missed, there is a circular pie Just beneath the etatue of the Prince, which are carved `figures of such men Homer, .Milton, Shakespeare, Reynol Michael Angelo, Wagner, and you re name! after nan }e, some very familiar a others that make you wish' you did kn .your history a• little better. - I hope y will not think I heave tried to give any r description of. this memorial for like ma other things,` it cannot be described, bu got into it before I realized what 'I w doing.

He went on to ea hat( the rooms were not open to,the publi u6. he thought he could get the hous eeper to show us through. Of comae w ould like to go, but looked at each oth nd said 't tip," and smiled at the epeci riviloge we were having..
