One of the best ways of seeing England is by

caravan. The Flatavans designed by Messrs. Melville, Hart and Co.

are among the, luxury- of this new and popular Pastime. The largest of these leviathans can "sleep and dine" as many as sixteen persons and is complete with bathroom, kitchen, electric bells and an enamelled bath. For myself, however, I would prefer, a humbler and smaller conveyance; for 'travelling in crowds is a thing one either cnjoys or loathes. The modest sum of £60 will suffice to :.covert the average four-eater. touring car into an itinerant bedroom for two. No jollier method of seeing the country than this could be imagined, combining as it does the qualities if the greyhound and the snail—in other words, providing fleet transit and constant shelter.
