On Sunday, June 29, our party
left early, via Dieppe and New-
haven, for London. A dozen of | 4]:
us drove round in those speedy
Paris taxicabs, saw new sights
and stood in Notre Dame as the
great organ pealed and priests
chanted. Soon we were whisked
away to the aerodrome, and, after
nearly four hours continuous fly-
ing, we dropped into ‘Groydon
‘and were carried by car to our
hotels.”

London on Sunday seemed tame
beside Paris, Before one realiz-.
ed it, there was the Thames,
looking to our eyes like an over-
grown creek. Qur driver bares
his head as we pass that simplest
and greatest of British war mem-|.
orials, the Cenotaph. Had your
