The gift by Mr. MacAndrew of Leith Hill to the National Trust for Places of National Beauty has revived the controversy as to the extent of the view from its 1,000ft-bigh summit; some enthusiasts claiming that thirteen counties can be seen from its vantage point That is very, unlikely, even when the high ground in Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire is included. Admit- ting & telescopic glimpse of the. elavated parts of Wiltshire, Leith | Hill might be said to command eleven counties, but that is surely the maximum possible.
Outside many country mansions hipping stones way be found. They are usually short flights of stone steps leading up to a plat form which riders can mount a horse without the indignity of a "leg up" from a groom. They are relics ofpre-motoringdays, and are very rarely used now. London pos- sess two notable examples which are usually unnoticed by pass. ing thousands. They are to be found,onson eachside of the statue of King Edward in Waterloo-place. Each beare an inscription in bronze recording the fact that they were placed there at the suggea- tion of the great Duke of Welling- ton in 1830, the reason being, of course, that the elite of clubland "parked their n-gs there, much As nowadays they park their Rolls-Royces.

Get acquainted with it to the strains of the latest consical master-pieces as rendered by the world's greatest artista or to the strains of the latest Fox Trots and Walizes, as played by America's leading orchestras and bands. Do not forget that the OKEH" is original and refined and that it pleases and satisfies. So says everybody who has heard it and there can be no better recommendation than this.
Haven't you got a Talking Machine? Then let us name for you your own requirements in selecting Phonograph. It must be a musical instrument first and it must have faultless tone-clear, round; true. It must be not only pleasing in design but correct. Its proportions must be exact, its wood and metel perfect, its workmanship beyong criticism; and, more than ever before, its price must be reasonable.
