Old Inns of Dickens’ Day Delightful Tourists Now Seek and Find Scenes of His Stories. ONDON, England, September 14. —When two Americans meet in England, their inevitable greetings are ‘Have you done the Shakespeare country yet?” and “Have you done Dickens?” Doing Dickens seems to have been 8 favorite pastime of Americans ever since Dickens himself crossed the Atlantic to read his own stories in American concert halls and theaters, back in 1867. This fact explains why thousands of travelers stepping ashore in England every Summer have a | secret ambition to breakfast in some | inn associated with his name, and why the London they expect to see | is more the shadowed and haunted metropolis of “David Copperfield” than the seat of empire it is. 'HE inns of Dickens are really the | most sought-out shrines of the famous writer today, for he described their comforts. cuisine, charm and history in such detail that even though he changed their names they | are easily recognized when found. ‘The King's Head at Chigwell. half | an hour’s spin out of London, is| quickly recognized as the Maypole Inn of “Barnaby Rudge.” It still stands | opposite the old church just as it did in the book, and the front room | same.” By _]acques ARK TWAIN, who helped Americans discover Europe and reduced the Old World M to plain Yankee language in “Innocents Abroad,” had this to say of Hawaii: “No alien land in all the world has any deep, strong charm for me but that one; no other land could so un- abiddingly and beseechingly haunt me, sleeping and waking, through half life-time here as that has done. Oth- er things leave me, but it abides; other things change, but it remains the STRING a thousand lines of superla- tive and languorous and colorful words together and, presto, there's a description of Hawaii. For Capt. Cook really found something in 1778. The exotic islands cast a romantic spell over a few fortunate whites of the world long before Twain sought them out and talked reams about them. As a tourist Garden of Eden (without a poisonous reptile, by the way) Hawaii boomed after the United States took it over in 1898 and when the upper crust of the white-collar workers be- gan to gratify its yearning to have a gay beauty lower a leis caressingly around its collective neck. HAWAII is what is known in pro- motional circles as a “natural.” It had “it.” The publicity man and the song writer took up where Twain and other capable writers left off. The hula complex became so keen that thefe were not enough grass skirts for all the New York dancers who dustied | up their skin, risked getting their feet | on the second floor is kept exactly as it was in the time of Dickens. The Red Lion at Barnet, where the | Artful Dodger took Oliver Twist for | breakfast and Dickens himself often dined, provides breakfasts still. In the Oliver Twist category there is also the Angel of Islington, a land- mark in London for two centuries. ‘The famous Saracen’s Head is one of the inns in icholas Nickleby,” but Americans ing Snow Hill find that it stands no more, though its 600 years of tales live after it. It got its name in the twelfth century when Richard the Lion-Hearted halted there on his return from the Third Crusade. Richard became drunk and began laying about him with his battle ax until one of his barons remarked, “I wish hys majestie hadde ye hedde of a Saracen before hym juste now, for I trowe he woulda play ye deuce wyth itte.” There- upon the king paid all the damage and gave the innkeeper the right to call the inn “Ye Saracen's Hedde.” One of the most famous of the Dickens taverns is the Six Jolly Fel- lowship-Porters of “Our Mutual Friend,” the favorite resort of Rogue Riderhood and Gaffer Hexam. It still stands today in Limehouse and is known as the Grapes; in Dickens’ time it was called the Bunch of Grapes. It is no wider than its front door, recalling Dickens’ description that it was like a “handle of a flat iron set upright on its broadest end.” River men still eat there, and its veranda is a good place to sit and watch the ‘Thames, which engrossed Whistler as much as it did Dickens. dirty on the stage, and added a bit of | abandon to the sedate national Ha- wailan dance. Americans became | Hawaii conscious in a big way. | With all this ballyhoo (which died down, as ballyhoo does in America),; Hawaii lived up to its extravagant claims. It still does. Its beauty has become commercialized, its tourist centers have been modernized quite adequately, but hardly more than the comfort-loving traveler demands.

Father Baker's famous orphanage is one of the places Buffalo visitors stop to see. The Portuguese like bullfights, but play the game so that the bull is spared. Bullfights originated among the Moors. Cleveland's Union Station cost sev- eral million dollars and is one of the outstanding buildings of its type. ‘The grim fortifications of Rhodes, which held off musderous attacks in the days of the Crusades, are now cov= ered with roses. Theodore Roosevelt once said of the Grand Canyon of Arizona: “Do noth- ing to mar its grandeur, sublimity and | loveliness. You cannot improve it.” It has been said of New Orleans that it is one of the three American cities | which can lay claim to real atmos- phere. The others are New York and San Francisco. The Hermitage is very much the same as it was when Andrew Jackson lived there. It is a short drive from Nashville. Wine Knights Organize. NE“' YORK, September 14.—Water drinking is a misdemeanor among a secret fraternity of wine tasters which has recently been organized at Dijon, in Burgundy.

Many imitate the coach ride of Nicho- las Nickleby along the Great North road to Yorkshire, or Tom Pinch's ride to London, now covered in a few hours by auto. Doing Dickens in England is much ' more than seeking out London inns, and many people select certain spots for an English holiday solely because of Dickens associations. Yarmouth, now a very popular resort, is the scene of the Peggotty episodes in “David + Copperfield,” while Gadshill in Kent 15 where the author spent his last days. Even the American who tries to do London in a day seldom passes up Portsmouth street, where Ye Olde + Curiosity Shoppe still stands. A fas- cinating spot to all, most Londoners insist visitors should see it, “even if one has to miss Westminster Abbey.” Beasts Guarc‘ prisoners. STRANGE tales comes from the Far East. One of the oddest concerns the segregation camp for Communists , established by the Dutch on the Island of New Guinea. | It is that the Dutch have found 8 way to deal, sub rosa, with Com- munists, native and foreign, who try | to upset the tranquility of Java, Bali, ! and other islands of the Netherlands’ East Indies. With young Dutch machine gun- " mers on guard against trouble, they set Chinese coolies to hacking out a | trail through the dense jungles and into the unmapped and barbaric heart | * of the Island of New Guinea. Here they built a small crude village which | is inhabited today by “Reds.” who | had become conspicuously active in | such Dutch island settlements as | Muntok, Batavia, Samarang or Balik Papan. The only trail from this Communist camp leads into the in- terior jungle filled with wild animals, poisonous reptiles and insects and still savage natives, and escape is | ! more difficult than to take leave of | the famous Devil's Island of France.| | Bird Sanctuary. GOVERNMENT naturalists, detailed H by the National Park Service to make ornithological studies in Ken- tucky’s T Jammoth Cave area, proposed as a national park, find the region to : be & natural bird sanctuary. Among their discoveries is the existence there of the prairie horned lark, a bird rarely found east of the Mississippi end so called because of its erectile « ear tufts, resembling horns. Another | , rare species is the pileated wood- | pecker, which, as indicated by the| name, wears a cap. Because of its spectacular markings and its size, this bird has been almost exterminated by hunters. Its body is & striking combination of black and s white. Its pointed crest is scarlet. In measurements it is nearly as large as & crow. With protection it is likely to | increase in numbers. The United States Biological Sur- | 1 wey, several years ago, listed 102 . species of birds native to the section sbove the celebrated caves. Road to League Palace. GENEVA, September 14.—The new | League of Nations palace in the Parc Ariana, on the outskirts of Geneva, has now been brought into , direct contact with the outside world. | : Visitors may now visit the palace ‘ over a new macadamized motor road, | bullt across the once waste land and * gmorass. a geyser of salt water propelled by | the surf; the Barking Sands of Nohili, where the beach, instead of crunching with a step, growls like a deg. | The islands are full of such wonders. | Vegetation, of course, is the most amazing, with forests of ferns which really become trees, the monkey- | pods, huge banyans, royal palms, eucalyptus and the strange, delicate flower, the cereus, which blooms only at night. i New wonders cease for the visitor only when he leaves the island. The | memory, as Twain said, abides. | INEW YORK'S rubber-neck wagons, | more properly called sight-seeing | busses, don't require as much rubber- necking as they did before the intro- duction of glass tops. Picking their way through the narrow streets, they afford a view of the skyscrapers by a straight look upward. Germany, | proud of her mountains and hoping | to show them to advantage, has in- | troduced the glass-roof idea to ob- | servation cars of her railroads. They are not yet general, as the innova- tion is just being tried. Practically the entire upper part | of the coach is made of unbreakable | glass, and the seats permit one to | face either way in looking up at the mountain tops. The first such car made its maiden voyage recently from Munich to Berchtesgaden. SEPTEMBER outranks June as a| popular month at Atlantic City, figures released yesterday by the re- sort’s chamber of commerce reveal. September is now in third place, ex- ceeded only by August and July. June is now in fourth place, after having held third rank for years. February is last in order, but visitor figures for Winter months bear out the claim that Atlantic City is “America’s greatest all-year health and pleasure resort.” SCRIBBLINGS: Asheville, in the Land of the Sky, was named Mor- Tistown in 1749, when John Burton founded it.
