FRENCH, ENGLISH VAGATION HONES ' Oficials There Have “Summer White Houses” Washington, D. C.

The & clature is not without appro ness since a frequent step to premidrship in England s from the secretaryship of the t is, from the Excheq: 7 Its location only miles north- vest of London on the main line t busy Birmingham puts Chequers within easy reach of the metropoli- tan “White House” at 10 Downing street. In an hour Premier Haldwin can escape from the heat and nolse of the city to the modest heights of the Chiltern Hills where his garden terraces command a view over the peaceful, green countryside sloping down to the Thames river. Balliff Dates from Bandit Days In the days when these old hills were not 8o peaceful, parliament regularly assigned a balliff to the Chlltern Hundreds to put down the bandits and outlaws. The office still figures prominently in the proceed- ings of parliament, although the outlaws have vanished, An appoint- ment as balliff of the Chiltern Hundreds, an office with no duties and, untll modern times, a salary of but 20 shillings (about $2.50 per year) permits a member to resign with honor on the plea that, holding an office of trust from the crown, he cannot remain in parifament as a representative of his constituency. _Chequers® associations are chiefly with Cromwell, although he never entered the halls. Frances Cromwell, daughter of the Protector married John Russel of Chequers and brought to the manor mementos of her famous father. Of these historic treasures the most important is the mask of Cromwell found a few years 2go in a neglected corner. A Million Dollar Home Thirty miles southwest of Paris and halfway to Chartres is the Chateau of Rambouillet in the forest of Yveline, & vast wood which spreads over nearly 3,000 acres, A recent government \nventory values the eatate reserved for the President of France at $1,200,000. Rambouillet has long been in the national domain. Francis I hunted in the 16th century through the same glades where President Doumergue follows the hounds today. Louls XIV and Madame de Maintenon came io Rambouillet as did Louis XV and the Countess de Toulouse, Napoleon ~ flew into a temper when he saw medallions of the women of the royal family looking down at him as he was about to bathe in the Salle de Bains. Then in the middle of the last century the estate was rented to a man who converted the palace into a roadhouse but the government soon repossessed the pro uational residence. Chateau of Ramboutllet fers fts regul luxury in the service of demo- eratie France. Some of the gardens at Ram- bouillet are laid out style. By a remarkable coincidence which ex-Premier Herriot of Vranes probabfy did not overlook when } visited ecx-Premier MacDonald at Chequers, the garden p English manor are in the style.
