AN EXPRESSIVE MEMORIAL
(To the Editor.)
Sir,—All visitors to London are, without exception, surprised to find themselves in quite a' short space amid diverse surroundings. It wife so Jast August when passing along the Strand in the summer heat. I turned down a by-street behind the Law Courts, and was soon amid the roost restful surroundings one could desire-r-Lin-coln's Inn Fields. Approaching a seat, placed amidst this greenery, one became attracted by a statue either depicting sympathy or motherhood—a graceful lady lovingly tending a group of children. There was some inscription, and curiosity led me to make a copy of it, as follows:—
Margaret Mao Donald Memorial.
"She was the daughter of John and Margaret Gladstone. „ "She was born in Kensington in 1870, was married to J. Ramsay Mac Donald in 1890, and lived with him at 3, Lincoln's Inn Fields. "Here her children were born, and here she died in 1911.. "She brought joy to those with whom and for whom she worked. Her heart went out in fellowship to her fellow women, and in love to the children of the people whom she served as a citizen and helped as a sister. "She quickened faith and zeal in others by her life, and took no reat from doing good."
I regret now that I did not secure a photograph of this expressive group of statuary, for a reproduction of it on your page of illustrations would prove most in-RmrinK.~-I am, etc., sp B . JAMES REEVE.
