ELIZABETH a. ‘McINTYRE, Associate Editor. my thoughts are constantly re-

liked to have visited prior to my
departure and said “Thank you”
to, but as I could not manage this,

MOTHER SHIPTON’S POEM

Sir: I was much interested in
reading once more Mother Ship-
ton’s old poem, which you have
kindly given. us in your issue of
July 26.

When a girl in England, | spent
a summer vaeation at Harrogate,
and visited Knaresborough from
there. Tourists are shown the
cave where Mother Shipton is sup-
posed to have Jived. Whether it
was hewn for Mother Shipton or
for the tourists, I cannot say.

Somewhere near it, is the drop-
ping well with its petrifying water
running from the rock. Of great
interest is the beautiful Knares-
borough Bridge. I cannot remem-

_ . . gs and friends of their ber the name of the river that
receiving: letters from their comrades a ber i meath it, but tha stone
former. communities. This is shown by the many letters bridge is very high, with four

slender arches, and a turreted top.
Legend has it that when Knares-
borough Bridge falls, England will
be invaded. I often wonder. if it
has escaped the bombs.

K. E. MORTON.
