For oight hundred years and odd ho people of Coventry have kept with .polnp the memory of the day when (Jountess Godiva "clad in her own innocence," rode through its streets that tho might do away with the vexing tax .that Earl Leofric had put upon it. Tennyson's exquisite .poem is the only knowlego which many of 11 have of the brave and beautiful Lady who know not sliam o. But as strong and piotnrIsuc as the mreianure of the modern poet is tho 'inewy English of the old chronicler who quaintly says that "the Countess (Godiva bearing on oxtraordi nary afleetion to Coventry often and earnestly besoughit her husband that, for the love of (lod and the )les(ed Virgin, he would free it from that grievous servitude whorounto it was silbjoct ; but he, rebuking ther for importuning lion in a manner so inlconsistent with his profit, connnanded that she should thenoeforth forboar to move therein; yet she, out of her woniinish per, tinacity, continued to solicit him; insomuch that he told her if she would rido on hors hiek, naked, from one end of the town to the other, he would grant her retipest. V hereunto sh nnswercd. '.tUut will you give m; nve to (1o so ?' And he replying, 'yes,' the noble lady, uipon an appointed (ay, got on horseback, nakod, with ier hair loose, so that it covered all her body btt her legs, aind thus performing t the journey, returned with joy to her SLumbaud, who therefor granted to the inhaibitaits a e~iartor of free don." Tho rides whereby (Covcntry gain ed its liberty has ben repeated in the town for centuries. On the fourth of June of each year a daugh1 ter of the pIICe clad in a closc fitting linen suit-ipparently a mIoderni sibstituto for the innoiceneo of the genotsons; diae-rtides th)roug~h the streets ecnvorted by .tho city guard in aien~iit, co1rporatiojiniarmor and by vios linamd hitorio p(er sonaiges such ais St. Geuorgo, lik'bin *.11ood, Maid Maian and1( Friari Tuick, a combination of saint and free *booter as8V( remarkloo as thit 1suag;' ge:sted by lrindolpih. Iht. this par thk,1O waZs JJuich 0) oppoitnion o the' proe Iaphelites insisted1 tho. lie linen tiostumoi was not, hiistorical)y correct anid that the represenO~tativ of the Ptroncss should appearil with no coveriug but her own long hair. There Were objoetions to this pro posol, however,.and it had fewv supo p)ortors. Others wish to (ling to the very text of the legend, and claimed that at the stroke of niooni the 1peopl1( should lide ill the houses and veil their eyes. .It was contrary .to alhl accepted traditioni, they *angued, that every ,mani in town shonlli snidke a Peeping Tomi of him,~ self, ':iu~ there wias ai grea't outory against this ronson:ing, and1 only iAwo men, ono blind and other bed riddon,, ticcpted .,it. Still others w ~ished to do away with the show altogether as useless and absurld. The opponents of the pageant, how over, were-so divided among theim, solves that their objootions were of :.no avail, and on theo.4th of June the pageant canio 6ff. 'The Patroness -from whoiw dho brutal 'caprice of Leofrio exaoka the iemorable aot, ~was persionted by a young circus rider who woro a bodicoe and iikirt -of white -ailk, a white lace veil, and the golden haiir tradiltionally ascrib ed to Lady Godiva, If thme nobile dood of the high born dame is thus to be travestied it is as we'll to do away with the observance forever.
