f THE TRAIL OF THE ALPS MILDRED PICKARD '14 HAT a charming place is Interlaken! It is the center for many fine excursions, particularly up into the high Alps. There is one trip, especially, that every lover of the granduer and the majesty of mountain scenery should be sure to take and that is to ascend the Jung- frau mountain. It was five o’clock on July 31 when we arrived at Interlaken. As it was just time for the sunset, we went out to see the color of the gown which the Jungfrau had donned for us.

Up above, a mere dot in the distance, is the Kleine Scheidigg. To that place is a long slow climb, but at last the busy engine gives a long puff of relief, and we find that we have arrived at Kleine Scheidigg. Straight across are the pale green glaciers of the Jungfra . All about are great snow-banks. In every direction there is a mag- nificent panorama of mountain scenery. On and on we climbed, the air growing thinner, the higher we mounted. On one side there are the everlasting snow fields, while on the other side are the eternal hills. The guide told us to go higher yet and scale the heights of the regal Jungfrau. The Kleine Scheidigg is the start ing place for the Jungfrauhoch, the regions of eternal snow. As 6
