countryside has come, in with its dogs and its I goats and its donkeys. There are the knitting The Name Day of the King of Sweden was gipsy women who make stockings, and never celebrated yesterday in London. At the Lega cease from knitting as they walk up and down, tion and Consulate the national flag waa flown, with them is a little barefoot, elfish girl, with The American Ambassador and Mrs. Page a wonderfully dirty face and a tangle of black will be out of town during tho summer. AU hair, who looks at us out of the comers of her ions should be addressed to Then there are the long bearded priest in their black gowns and tall black bats, ragged, benevolent, and dignified.

There is a sprinkling of Turks in fezes, and best of all there are the shepherds. They wear white stockings, white kilts, white' jerseys round their Ivwaists are red sashes round their heads bright handkerchiefs and they carry their long slender crooks in their bands. The shepherds do not appear to do much business, though one or two are interested in a booth where a man is making combs for wool For the most part they sit round tables, gossiping ferociously, drinking tiny, cups of coffee, rolling and smoking cigarette. There is among them one old man with a narrow hawkish face, sunburnt and crinkled, great flaps of ears and a long grey moustache. Surely there is a history written in that face, but is it of cutting throats and holding to ransom or simply of piping to the lonely flocks I fie is too inscrutable for me.

The shops are as varied as the customers. That one which announces itself as Canteen BA." pays the penalty of greatness by having no native trade but there is a village WhUeley'a pantopoleion its frontage decked with gorgeous handkerchiefs, that is full to overflowing. Next come the tailor, the cobbler, the barber, and up an alley hard by the blacksmith is shoeing a donkey, which he does by throwing the poor beast on its back and lashing its four feet to a stake. The taps of his hammer blend with a mournful dirge from the village school where the children are chanting the alphabet. How odd and delightful to find that small reeks have to learn their own alphabet and they certainly seem not to pronounce it as well as we do.

Over the way Uvea our friend whom we call Alexander the Coppersmith. He sits on a table by his big bellows, a copper dish on his knees, while the wood smoke curls up from his fire on the floor. On other days he deals only in copper vessels which he makes himself with a very graceful art To day his shop has become a general store, and he sells lamb skins and onions and cloth of a peculiarly hideous check. Another friend is the grinning, blackavised boy at the vegetable stall. Spinach he says in answer to our question "Spinach finish.

To day salad." But when we spurn the lettuce and garlic that he wants to foist on us, he naively produces a secret hoard where there is spinach, in plenty. He is, I' believe, not unreasonably dishonest It is he, moreover, who, as interpreter, makes a bargain for us with the knitting gipsies. Jt is he who, by calling on the awful name of the control post officer, strikes terror to the heart of a cheating mat seller. So what matters a little short weight of spinach Last and loveliest of all are the shops that are, with unconscious petry. called fancy shops tow and dark, with little crabbed lattice windows, full of the most beautiful things.

I cannot tell what they are, for these are fairy shops such as we sec only in dreams or, perhaps, once in a lifetime as we flit in a car through a sleepy southern country town at home. In ti front of them the women gather thickly, and come away bearing ribbons and trinkets, but we stand afar off, for we know that if we looked too closely all the colours and the glitter and the.

Binyon's subject was English Poetry in its Relation to Pictorial and other Arts." In its origin, he said, poetry is closely allied to music In its maturity it is mora nearly related to painting. Poetry and painting are in a parallel condition, and differ from music and architecture. which are independent of the imitation of nature. The unifying principle of all the arts is rhythm. Painting and poetry both have a rhythmic element for their basis, but by its imagery poetry shares much of the subject matter of painting.

Their differences, as Leasing showed in his Lsokoon." spring from poetry having to deal with a sequence in time and involving movement or action. In surveying the history of the arts in England we are struck by the continuity of the poetic tradition, and by the intermittence or dislocation in the traditions of the other art. The Church and the feudal system made for unity is the Middle Ages. All the art in England fiourished. but there was nothing quite comparable with the freedom and humanity of Chaucer's poetry.

In the Elizabethan period lyric poetry wss closely allied to music. There was nrA.Mng painting to compare with the great poetry of the dramatist, but Shakespeare poetry contains pictures as glorious as Titian's Milton, the greatest master of music in English verse, is also splendidly pictorial. With the 18th century came a complete change of taste and style. The strength of the period is its solidarity. All the arts cohere.

But his interest in public affairs was strong, especially such as affected the credit or position of the United Kingdom and the Empire. Bis energies found a good deal of scope in county government Be was chairman of the Forfarshire Council from its early days and had previously worked on the boards that preceded the creation of the county councils.

Be was. in this position as in others, greatly trusted and popular, although certain ardent spirits were sometimes inclined, when rapid action was desired, to regard his customary insistence upon the due formalities ot business and discussion as a hindrance to the aims they had in view. At his house at Camperdown, near Dundee, be bad large collection of memorials of the Admiral, which he delighted to show to his friends. At his home farm be paid some attention to the. breeding of prise cattle, and, although he did not attempt to go into the business on a Urge scale, or with the view of making money, he was always greatly pleased when be won Lord Camperdown was never married.
