Headers of “The Pickwick Papers’ •will remember the original Dingley Dell where Mr Wardle lived and whero Mr Winkle skated on the ice. “Another Dinirfer Dell” was the name hnmorS3ygiver? by the Eev. P. B. Clayton, the founder of Toe H, to a small encampment outside Ypres toward the end of the World War. _ The latest Dinglcy Dell is a little, ■atrip of gvonnd, a “dank and dismal place, ’’ as Mr Clayton described at at the opening ceremony, which had been let to him as his garden.
