The hall is still used for a sheep and wool market.From this town that was old even before America was settled we went to Shakespeare’s Stratford-on-Avon. How disappointing to be able to see only the exterior of Shakespeare’s birthplace, his school, and Anne Hathway’s cottage. Sunday is Sunday in England. I liked Anne’s garden. We were able to go into Holy Trinity Church, which contains Shakespeare's grave. When we first entered Stratford, I could see the graceful church spire rising above the trees; it was reflected in the quiet River Avon.We had to content ourselves with outside views of Warwick and Kenilworth Castles also. I remember Warwick as a glimpse of sturdy gray wall and two round towers above elm trees beside a river, the Avon again, I suppose. Some of the crumbling ruins of Kenilworth Castle could be seen over the stone wall surrounding the grounds.Bl MMWWjon at Maidenhead, in jside the Thames.

Magdalen ChapelLife is either a vale of tears or a magazine. In either case it is melancholy, if we judge by the number of dull and unshining faces found around this noble institution.Since the chief reasons for the existence of the genus (or genius) Homo Sapiens are the propagation of the race and the pursuit of happiness, something should be done to make everybody happy.For that reason this bureau was bom. The first step is to explain the name; this will also explain the purpose. The cabalistic hieroglyphics at the top of the column mean “Bureau for Introducing Melancholy Men to Willing Women.”All you need to do is send in your order (either sex) and we will arrange all details. Of course, you have to be nice to arrangers.Just give us your letter containing the desired specifications. For example:Dear Bureau,My existence is uninteresting. Never yet have I found the man who could understand me — the way I want to be understood. Please send me a six-foot blondeCAT—OGRAPHTOur cat must be a business man in cat kingdom. I am convinced our cat must be a business man. There is an expression about his mouth—something—I can’t define it. It looks as if he ate statistics with double-deckers at Gerling’s. Besides, he has no sense of humor. I’ve teased him for years and he doesn’t take it decently yet. Whoever saw an employment manager with a sense of humor? You don’t tease employment managers, either.Lately mother has been hunting fleas in him. It is particularly hard when they get in the black fur and multiply like guinea pigs. You would think it would tickle him when mother hunts, but he shows no kind of hysterical response at all. He certainly lacks a sense of humor. He acts like a very irritable old gentleman. There isn’t the latest suggestion of a smile around his mouth. Horses often look as though they were laughing, you know, but I’ve never observed it in cats, at least not in ours. His name is Happy, by the way.Our cat is, oddly enough, the neighborhood Beau Brummel. He is doubtless a lady-killer of the fiercest and deadliest type. Otherwise he couldn’t succeed—without a sense of humor. He is personally neat to a nicety. In fact, even in very dirty weather, March muddy days, for instance, he is black and really white. He spends hours tonguing himself, behind his ears and all over. He has a spotless white, furry stomach,“winter weasel,” as Mr. Ricciuti would say.One night I was studying very late, it fact it was already morning, about 3 o’clock. Our cat was in the dining room under the table. When he gets excited he tears around the dining room, claws the rug, and twists himself into most ridiculous positions around the table legs. This time he was all wound up. Suddenly a yowl from outside made me jump. The window was partly open, so Happy sprang up. He yowled passionatelyThey yowled back and forth for five minutes by the clock. Tears stood in my eyes from laughing at them. Finally Happy yielded to temptation and Mehitabel, and went off. Probably there was a big cat ball over in the church cellar. At any rate, our reputation among the neighbors has been dubious ever since. And he is a minister’s cat!(Continued from page 1, column 2)dinner.Mayfair; Frank B.
