COUNTRY LIFE
AN ingenious suggestion for one of the many forms of war memorial th are being meditated has been put forward—and illustrated-:--on beh3 of the Men of the Trees, now an international organisation. Its littl quarterly magazine is published at Is. from Pucknoll, Dorcheste There is in being—at Lake Wales in the middle of Florida—a so-call Singing Tower, with a fine carillon of bells (incidentally made ' England). It is built in the midst of a woodland sanctuary and it become a place of pilgrimage. The design of the tower is singular, b of undoubted beauty. The idea is to build some such tower in th midst of a woodland sanctuary where the young trees planted as memoria to the fallen should be backed by older trees already in their prim Some such scheme is well worth attention. Separate trees have, course, frequently been planted as memorials in a number of countrie The most successful I know is the assemblage of English oaks that flouris in the beautiful park by Perth, in Western Australia. Incidentally, query was put up to me some while ago concerning the circular clum of limes found in the neighbourhood of several country houses. It h been aleged that they were Jacobite symbols.
