I know many cities of the south and east where there are beautiful gardens: but they are beyond the civil precinet. Outside the town a man keeps his garden, and goes to it sometimes, to sit in the cool of the evening; but he lives in a tall whitewashed house amid streets where no green thing is to be sevi

In London, except, unhappily, in the newer East End, that creation of the utilitariza nineteenth cen tury, the gardens are every where welcome to the eye, though there may be no more in them than a box tree and a few evergreens.

SWORDS AT 10S. EACH.

Delightful pieces of old armour,

which may once have graced the arms of an English knight, or warded off a blow from some young squire, are being sold daily in the White Tower of the Tower of Lantion.

The shop is an embrasure in the stone wall, and the counter on which the wares are displayed is an old nak table. Real cavalry awords are priced at 108., and many of them are finding their way schools for lauseumis or

for pur-

to

poses of demonstration.

Then there are such fascinating pieces as the pauldron, or the brak sard (arin badge) going for two or three pounds each. Old and rusty, perhaps, but to the connoisseur it is, not a difficult task to assign them to the days of King James II. or the times when Roundhead and◄ Ironside fought avainst the King.

And then for E1 there is a 10th century cuisse, which a visitor is fitting over his trousers on to the top part of his leg. A dint shows where a blow with a sword had been warded off.
