Reminiscences of Literary Pilgrimage To The Home Of The Immortal Bard of Avon A CHARMING TRAVELOG FROM THE PEN OF MRS. T. DOWD- 1 XKY CI.ARK. RELATING OF A VISIT TO THE HOME AND MEMORIAL ERECTED TO THE MEMORY OF i.ni" » ' .....

WILLIAM SHAKESPEAR

The Ion* anticipated ha* arrived j anil the pleasure of reading: Mrs. Dowdney Clark's reminiscences of! ber visit to Shakespear'* country exceed* our expectations. By reason of Mrs. Clark's literary pnsiclections anil association, we had anticipated a charming letter, but hardly could we expect from any person not of English birth and education, so sensitive a susceptibility to the ro"mance which envelops StrntfordThe historical data included in the letter arc valauble; the descrip- ! lion of the country with its historic ruins graphic ami beautiful. Mrs. T. Dowdney Clark saw Stratford with the eye of an artist, ami writes of her impressions in ' aim «iiies ui ncr wipivssiuiis in

the language of a poet. We anticipate that this letter will I* read with delight and pro- 1 fit by all. I Will try to write in this letter of our travels through this 1 beautiful country, where scenes of ' sylvan loveliness surrounded us everywhere. | In the first place, however, I ' must not forget to aiUl that the one 1 dear ilay we had during the week spent in London was this day set ' aside for our visit to Shakespeare's ' liomc. Annie Hathaway '« cottage, ' Kenilw-orth Castle and Warwick Castle. 1 Castle.

After raining every day, just 1 imagine awakening to find the f glorious sun shining in splendor, in Br a shy of deepest nxure and a 1mlL ray southern wind brushing one's rhaek. Oh, how happy we were, when after .in early breakfast, we climbed into the huge open auto bus, for the half-hour ride to the ' r station. What if we did forget to bring that extra wrap, or what if one < did have their toes seemingly . nearly crushed by the frantic ant- i ica of a big, careless fat woman, i Irying to get a seat; what did it < matter after all, I say, for wc ■ v ere on onr way with the promise i of a glorious day ahead and an t | intellectual feast was abotu to be ■ pread for some of us, eager, ex- [ pedant souls, who desired to partake. ^ We had a wonderfully interesting train ride of about fifty miles, «ng train noe oi snout uriy miios,

vhen we stopped at a station, in a pretty little town and continued I our journey in a big open auto bus, I which just held our party of ■ • twenty people.

,1 1 villages. Afjer riding a while w *• saw looming up nhead of us, on a j hill side the ruins of Krnihvorth y Castle. Here we stopped and i walked over the wonderfully fine •"iturf through these ruins. 1 j I have seen in my travels many ruins of famous buildings, but never have I seen such beautiful ones as Kcnilworth Castle, where the English ivy runs rampant over most of the walls and Towers and where many birds fly and hover ^ around, singing their songs of joy and where the grass is so fresh and green and nature's setting is so womlerful. j It seemed as if old Father Time had chiseled these ruins and left | standing only the parts that were beautiful to the eye. I thought, no

r wonder artists rave over its pic- _ j turewjue loveliness. This castle dates back from the reign of; Henry I, ami was used as a royal ! q goal and also as a royal resiilem e. r One of the main ruins is the Lyeess ter's building. There are still standing parts of Caesar Swan and] I Mernyns Towers, Lycester Gate- , way and nearby the Memornl . Fountain. After listening to the , , guide and buying hooks, we climb- ; ! ed up into our car (and it was a , climb, believe me), and rode onj, ' for nearly an hour and came to i . Warwick Castle and town. |

This castle was built, (or rather; f the Caesar's Tower portion) he-j n tween 1850 and 1370. Guys Tow er |_ was built in 1394, during the reign ' s of Richard II, ami the chapel. I compass, armour and other rooms e added. This castle is set in a 0 park of 702 acres, thirty-six acre, B of which is laid out in ornamental grounds. t On the west side of the castle, ; quietly and peacefully flows the 1 Avon. We walked through part - of the grounds, where peacocks; , strutted with their gorgeous tails ; t outspread, anil where flowers of ; > many colors bloomed and where j > fountains played and splashed and i all was charming and so restful. !
