A Delightful Holiday, ■./;.' V '.r-'lirsi C., 11. Izard, -who returned by • the Mariunft yesterday with her, husband and son from j.Oi'jvisit./.to' England, speaks enthusiastic-, ally/of-tho-good times, she had in England. The' visit.-\vas a,very, hurried one, and they had.tv- very, unseasonable summer; but never-theless'the..trip-was delightful, and this oh'iefly because, soon after their arrival in: England, Mr..-. Izard purchased ■.; a beautiful raotor-car, which .took them. ; ; for., long, .charming tours through,:inariy.,English, counties, and enabled thorii to make'the very'most' : of the.-time they ,hadM there. They .'■ motored through Ha'mpshirc,";Dorsetshire, Wiltshire,' Devonshire, Essex, and round about Oxford, among ; many other places, along beautiful roads, such' roads as-New'-Zealand folk cannot even dream of, through quaint old English villages, and everywhere; there was "something of interest .to see; In, one village there would be'an old-fashioned fair.'in the -next town a : pageant, and always beauty, -'interest, '■•and chami,'.ln the connties rround about. London, .-;the motor- traffic was, very/heavy, but they, sped; away into -the less-frequented roads, -where perhaps, in the whole': long day not more than four or, five motors would L be-met. ;'The burning question of-the suffragettes l did not'tro'ublo them much, and Mrs. Izard -merely'iheritiohs that some of, the representatives of - this class "whom: she met were young and charming,-nor- did they trouble'; thomselves;with -London and • social f unotions. They ■ were.. on, a holiday,; and they ■wanted ;to-see -new. aspects, of :life...' So tkoy: missed many things they' would have; liked to see."had their stay been longer,, Among their interesting visits;were one to.ilath, wnero they arrived in .'time to 'see'.the beautiful -pageant held in-/that, city,' and various .trips to; places where croquet tournaments, were being played, 'and where'.thoy had tho "pleasure of seeing their son .win; many 'a; victory, and carry off several challenge cups.' They had hoped .tq visit 'friends in Scotland, - but: had .no time, and their..'visit t6 'the Continent": ended', at 'Paris;';.'/v'^V:^'V'-':-.';;.' ; ;';'' ; '■■'';.■ ■'■':' ■'■['
