FROM GLORIOUS DEVON.—The Devonian re- sorts are busy with early holiday-makers. Beautiful as it is at all times, the county has never looked so. lovely as it does at present. This year is indeed a phenomenal one for luxur- iance of blossom and foliage. The Devonshire lanes and uplands look magnificent in their rich endowment of multi-coloured tints. Torquay has this year made greater provision for visitors than ever before. The musical attractions have been duplicated by the engagement of a first- tlass season band, which will share the new Pavilion with the already famous municipal or- chestra. The motor and horse char-a- bancs over Dartmoor and other places of pilgrimage have been greatly increased as well as the number of excursions by motor-boat and steamer.

N.S.P.C.C.—Yesterday (Thursday) afternoon a meeting was held at the Abbey House, Led- bury, through the kindness of Miss Ballard, for the purpose of forming a juvenile branch of the League of Pity of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Mrs F W Carnegy presided over a good attendance, and there were also present—Miss E Wade, Mrs W G Davis, Mrs Page, Mrs S M Sarlius, Miss N Ballard, Miss L Ballard, Miss Maddison, Mrs H Garrood, Mrs Philpott, Mrs Pritchett (Wood- leigh), Mrs Watkins, Mrs F J Cowell, Miss Stephens, Miss Smith and Mrs F N Wheaton. —Mrs Carnegy briefly introduced Mrs School- ing, of London, who delivered an interesting address on the aims and objects of the branch, which was known as the League of Pity. There were two reasons why a branch of the League was necessary. In the first place it was because there were so many happy children in the country whose homes were bright and beautiful and who did not know what hardship was and, secondly, because there were so many children in the world whose lives were just the reverse. By becoming a member of the league they were given the opportunity of helping to make the lives of these children happier, and she hoped many young people would join that afternoon. —At the close a hearty vote of thmks was accorded the speaker for her address and also to the Misses Ballard for the interest they had shown in the work. Thanks were also due to Mrs Carnegy for presiding. A branch of the League having been formed the visitors were afterwards entertained to tea.

I WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION.—At the Glou- cester County Court on Monday, before His Honour Judge A B Ellicotfc, in the case re Walter Herbert Bowers, deceased, formerly of Wellington Heath, who was knocked down while riding a cycle in Gloucester and killed, Mr Harold Langley-Srnith said the sum of 2180 118 had been paid into Court under the Work- men's Compensation Act.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. THE BATH SCHEME. To the Editor. Sir,—Mr John Preece is to be commended for the stand he made at the last meeting of the Urban Council. It is too much the practice of the Council to refer any business outside the usual routine to a committee or resolve themselves into committee so that any discussion may take place in camera. I agree with Mr Preece that this is most unfair to the rate- payers. Any matter that is brought before the Council is of public interest, and should be discussed by the Council in public, so that the public may know what is coming forward. So far as the baths scheme is concerned all the discussions have been taken in com- mittee and the public know little about it. An expenditure out of the rates of between jC200 and £300 is of considerable importance. The Council themselves are much divided as to the wisdom and utility of the scheme, and the general public have had no means of expressing their opinion. The money should have been borrowed for a term of years and not spent out of current rate. Had this course been adopted applica- tion would have been made to the Local Government Board, who would have held a local public inquiry, when any ratepayer could have expressed his opinion, and the Inspector would report fully on the scheme.

Wellington Heath. I This lovely hamlet lies about li miles nertk-west of Ledbury. It is somewhat of a miniature Mal- vern, standing on hilly ground, though it is hid from view from tke town of Ledbury by the Frith Wood, behind which it is sheltered from the aorth. The houses are dotted here and there between the two hills. The road leading to the Heath is rather hilly in parts, and ita undulating formation gives it a romantic touch. Hope End, once the residence of Elizabeth Barrett- Browning, the poetess, is close to the village, but the building afterwards gave way to a modern mansion, built by the late Mr C A Hewitt, who was unfortunately compelled to leave the place owing to it being gutted by fire. From the top of the Heath some lovely landscapes are obtained.
