In part she wrote: Our room is very comtortable, with an open fire whenever we want it, and the maids are most obliging. It is amusing to hear some ot them talk, for some of the English dialects are very much like any foreign lan guage one doesn't understand. They "hang around" and gossip as much as they can talking about 'narsty wuther,' 'bad 'commodations,' etc. We breakfast at 9 usually, and the same little cockney maid in black and white always serves us. Her conversation is something like this except that I don't get half the dia lect. "Good mornin' 'm." 'Will you have porridge this mornin'?" We always have porridge, in other words oatmeal; great bowls well prepared. "Coffee or tea 'm?" Al most everyone takes tea for . all meals here, except me, so the maid brings a little pot of black, coffee a la England. Fish is the next course for everyone here eats fish for breakfast, so a delicious steamed smoked herring or other fish is served with rolls. Next come great broad pieces of lean bacon and eggs or sometimes potatoes or tomatoes. And then al ways the last breakfast course, bread, sweet butter, and marmalade. Now how does that sound for breakfast? For lunch we go to some quaint m house and have crumpets, toast ed, tea and marmalade. Very homelike and prices quite reason able, in fact about half of what one would pay for the same thing in America. 1 ne aencious Dig urca. fast is given us with the room for which we pay about $1.50 a day. We get our lunches and suppers wher ever it is convenient and imagine a luncheon of four courses 'served in London tea houses for a shilling and three pence, about 25 cents in American money. So our living is no higher than at Oxford and it is wonderful to' be in London. We have visited Westminster Ab bey, the famous old place where so many poets and other personages lie buried. It is all wonderful, mag nificientl The abbey is like a beau tiful old cathedral and everywhere one finds slabs in the floor marking the resting place of some noted per son. Each time a burial takes place the stones of the floor are lifted whereveMhe place for the grave is selected. Imagine wandering around and finding a slab marking the rest ing place of Tennyson and beside him that of Browning; or going in to the little chapels of the old abbey to find, whole royal families buried in grand old tombs. In the brightest part of West minster Abbey, almost in the center where mellow rays of light come through richly stained glass win dows is buried the unknown soldier. His grave is covered with the Brit ish flag and hundreds of floral trib utes. We read the inscription at tached to one faded bouquet of white blossoms saying: "To my two and only sons, who died in an unknown place in France; either may be rest ing herel From their mother." One's heart breaks as one reads many sim ilar expressions from hundreds of mothers who do not know .where their precious lads may be sleeping, each hoping secretly, that it may be her lad who has been given the place of honor in Westminster Ab bey. Yesterday we visited the wonder ful National Art gallery opposite Trafalgar square". . . We -are seeing the old Dickens pjaces here, the Old Curiosity Shop and others. We shall go to Canterbury, which is not far from London, perhaps will follow the road of Chaucer s Canter bury Pilgrims! We go also to Stakes on Pages, where Gray wrote his Elegy and to Stratford on Avon, Shakespeare's birthplace. England is so small when it comes to travel. We are having a real London fog outside, almost as dark as night, with lights burning, everywhere, making the atmosphere a dull gold in color.
