ENGLISH LAKE DISTRICT SEEN
FOR ONCE WITHOUT RAINFALL

Reading of Bible and Ladies Home Journal Once in a While.

THE ENGLISH LAKE DlSTKlur,
Nov. 30. The day I came here
It was very "thick." as the
Yorkshire expression goes. The train
plunged Into the fog and for many
miles there was no view out of the
window; it was Just an opaque pane
of glass.
As I got further north the fog grad
ually cleared, until at last we emerged
into bright sunshine. For once the
lake country was not weeping, but
welcomed me with a dry smile.
The annual surprise of finding
Christmas so near at hand is upon us.

Is understood to be a kindly reminder
on the part of the church that pud
dings and minocmeat should soon be
at the stir-up stago.
The collect has ben Impressed upon
my mind as we have had it at family
prayers every morning this week.
Ambleside and neighborhood is as
charming as ever, a pla: of peace and
restfulness. Old people flock here
with the feeling that it Is an ideal
place to be buried In. Indeed, one has
the feeling that one could sleep here
undisturbed for centuries. This feel
ing extends toward the whole district.
I have heard of three people express-

the last few days.' My Impression Is
quite miffed If he had been buried in
Westminster Abbey Instead of in
Grasmere churchyard.
As for me, I have no desire what
ever to lie here throughout eternity,
I'd like to be buried at sea. In mid-
Atlantic, half-way between England
and America, for I cannot sleep in
both my homes at once. I should love
to have the ocean for my winding
sheet, and no doubt I should be with
some of my pirate ancestors. If this
be Impossible, I hope they will bury
me In a big town, where the trample
of many feet sound over my grave,
even though my ears can no longer
hear that beloved music; with a flat
tombstone over me so that children
can play marbles on my grave. Fan
cies like these brighten my thoughts
on death.
When I was staying In Cornwall
last summer there was a child's fu
neral in the village. Country fashion,
the child's playmates were taken to
the grave. A cruel custom, I consider.
One poor little girl wept bitterly and
sobbed out: "However will God get
Amy to heaven if they put that heavy
stone on her?"
Before I left Hertfordshire I went to
Hare street to see the tomb of Rob
ert Hugh Benson. He lived In the
ancient house so accurately described
in his book "Oddsflsh." He, of course,
was a Roman Catholic and had an ora
tory there for years. When he died he
expressed a wish to be burled In the
orchard, where In olden times there
stood a chapel.
Now the Roman Catholics of Eng
land have erected a beautiful little
church over his grave. Though so
small, it a perfect gem and Is to
form part of larger bulid'ng some
day. His friend, "Beatrice Chase."
who writes so breezily of Dartmoor,
had a great deal to do with this
memorial.
Mr thoughts today aia to ns
I strangely on death and tombstones
and eternity.
. "Eve." late of "The Tatler." died
1 quite recently. Every week through
I those trying yenrs from 1914 to 19U
she wrote letters huddling with wit,
I" which were published in "The Tat
ler." The boys at the front loved
them. She certainly did her best to
cheer up the war.
I I read of her death with most sln
I cere regret. The recipients of those
I parcels from Portland must have
known her well, for I often put In a
number of the Taller just because of
Eve.
I ought to conclude this dirge by
quoting the whole of Ecclesiastics 44,
but I will only quote a part:
"Let us now praise famous men
. . . such as found nut musical
tunes and recited verses In writ
ing. . . . Some there be which
have no memorial, who are perished
as though they never had been and
are become as though they had never
been born. . . . Their bodies are
burled In peace: but their names
llveth forevermore. . ."
We always have this chapter read
out In chur.:h at the war memorial
services. No doubt it Is also read In
the American churches. I always felt
a little less keen on
"Rich men furnished with ability,
living peacably In their hsbltatlnns "
whilst the war was on. They seemed
to savor so of profiteers and con
scientious objectors.
I read the Illhle sometimes, the
London Daily Mall every day and the
Ladles' Home Journal once a month
if I can get It.' These are my steady
literary companions.
I am always glad that the Bible Is
not so full of advertisements as tht
Ladles Home Journal; if It were there
would be no holding Itl Also that
chapter I of Genesis follows on the
heels of chspter II Instead of hiding
Itself In the middle of the hook of
Esther, whilst chapter III Is concealed
In Revelations. No doubt If the Bible
were full of advertisements It would
follow that wlll-o'-the-wlp plan, too.

tisements.
