Its romantic castles and its musical if unprouncable language. North Wales was favourite holiday resort of mine in my younger days and what pictures those beautiful Welsh names jure up in one's memory--Bettws- y-coed, Llanrwst, Trefriw and Con- way, Pwllheli, Portmadoc, Pen- maenmawr and Harlech, Llyn-. gwen, Llyn Idwal Capel Curig and Beddgelert, Aberglaslyn and Aberganolwyn and Llangollen and a hundred more.

But it takes a far more competent person than myself to do justice in des- cribing the merits truly.
