Top-Knot It was in Paris that I got hats, gowns, jewelry, and kid gloves. I forgot to tell you that as I passed through Rheims I saw the ruins of the beautiful cathedral in the distance. Not far from Paris is St. Cloud, where the famous Sevres ware is made. As you will remember, I wasbuying for the John Wariamakei' Company, and I bought many beautiful sets. Paris is the leading railroad center of France. I took a train and arrived in Berlin in two days. - There I bought yards of beautifully' dyed materials, and all kinds of musical instruments, as Germany is the home of music. On my way to Berlin, I came to Cologne, where I got many bottles of perfume. The reason it took me so long to go to Berlin is that I stopped in many placesg I went up to Hamburg, where I saw the big docks. I From Berlin I went to Nuremburg. This, as you know, is the city noted for toys, so I ordered many different kinds. As one cannot travel in Russia at the present time, I deferred my journey until conditions would be settled. So I went down the Danube to Vienna, which was one of the most beautiful cities before the War. Vienna has many beautiful buildings and palaces, and it is famous for its restaurants and cafes. I did not stay long there on account of lack of food g but went further down the Danube to Bulgaria and Rumania. There I bought the beautiful china and glassware which is noted all over the world. As was coming down the Danube, I saw large fields of grain. . In all these countries the people are very musical. From Rumania I went due south to neutral territory to Constantinople, which has been destroyed by fire seven or eight times, but has been re- built. In this city is the beautiful Mosque, which was in the hands of the Turks, who finally painted all over the beautiful paintings and mosaic work, and spoiled it all. In Constantinople I bought Ori- ental rugs. ' After I had been in Constantinople about a week, I went to Greece. Wheii I was on the train, Isaw many mountains. There were numerous ruins of temples and buildings. All of these were very interesting. When I came to Athens, I saw the Acropolis, and it was very interesting. The walls had huge holes, and in places no wall at all. I-lere I bought some jewelry. In the little country of Al- bania, I bought a number of pieces of lace. ' As I passed through Jugo Slavia I saw many wheat fields and vineyards. Now for sunny Italy! F ar off in the distance I could see Venice with its many beautiful canals. On either side of the Grand Canal are fine residences of white marble. I bought some Point de Venise lace here. I went to Pisa, where I saw the Leaning Tower, then to Milan where I bought many hats. After a while I left for the wonderful city of Rome. Wlierr I arrived, I nearly lost myself. There were so many places I wanted to see, I hardly knew where to begin. First I saw St. Peters and part of the Vaticang then to the ruins of the Coliseum and the Forum. In Rome I bought beautiful Roman shawls, filet lace, and Italian linens. Early the next morning I went to Naples, and from there I saw lVlt. Vesuvius. As I had little time I sailed for Marseilles, out of the beautiful Bay of Naples. At Marseilles I bought some bedspreads, and then went to the silk region and bought yards of silk. I crossed the Pyrenees lVIountains to Spain, and went down to Madrid. In the streets were many beggars who held out their hands and begged. The ladies wore many trinkets and beads. Upon their heads they wore mautillas which were made of black lace. T he Spaniards love bright colors and music. As there was nothing in particular I wanted, I only bought a few small articles. Itwas hot and dry here, so I left for Lisbon, and there I ended my tour in Europe. I left for America Decem- ber 2, 1922. MARTHA SATER, Sixth F arm 28

CAROL lVloR'roN BARRICKLOW, Third F or-m. jliilp 'triatatiun This summer, I went to Michigan. My aunt has a cottage up there. I would go in swimming every afternoon. After I went swimming, I would take our canoe, and paddle over to Indian River. We had our meals over there. One day while we were eating, we all smelled smoke. All at once it got so strong we all had to go out, and when we got out, the hotel was starting to burn. They just had to let it burn to the ground because there wasn't any fire department. Our cottage caught on fire in the night once, but some of the men put it out with the hose. It started from our big lire in the front room. One morning I went fishing by myself, and I never dreamed I would catch a fish. All of a suddenfthere was a great jerk at my line. I just thought it was weeds. I pulled it up, and nearly drowned myself trying to get it in. It was a great big black bass. BETTY W1LL1ARD, Fifth F arm, I My Zllinur in QEurupr I left New York May l, l922, to buy for the john Wariamaker store. My journey on the boat was very interesting. After landing in Queenstown I went to a number of villages and bought hand-made linens and thread laces. From Ireland I sailed to Liverpool by way of Belfast. Then I went to Sheffield, wherel bought some cutlery. Of course I would not go to England without seeing London. I saw Westminster .Ab- bey, Tower of London, Parliament Buildings, and London Bridge. I bought books, jewelry, and other manufactured goods. Wishing to see the land of the midnight sun, I sailed for Norway, landing on the western coast. The wonderful Northern Lights were far beyond my expectations. A few dairy products are shipped from Norway, but the best products are found in I'-Ibllandg therefore I went there. I landed in Rotter- dam, where I went to the southeast till I came to the boundary between Holland and Belgium. I was on'the train part of the day before coming to Brussels. I had never seen such fine and deli- cate pieces of lace before. Of course I could not pass them without buying some. As I did not have much time I did not see many things, although I did see some statues. I slaved in Brussels all night. Then I took the train early in the morning for France. I found the French people very industrious. As I traveled along on the train, I saw many wheat fields. Finally I reached Paris. My, what a large yet beautiful city! There were people selling flowers and vegetables. While I was there I visited Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower, Tomb of Napoleon, Arc de Triomphe. Boulevards, Place de la Concorde, the Tuileries, Grand Museum, and the Art Gallery of the Louvre. 27

No artist who e'er painted could portray The vast, etherial beauty of the sky, Vlfhen kissed farewell by all the lights of day, And bathed in starry radiance from on high. The curtains of the 'night were parted wide That our fair day, grown old, might enter in, And let its blessed quiet there abide, Away from clamour's oft resounding din. With longing eyes I gazed into the sky To see the day departing, aged, forlorn, And far beyond the vast expanse of night, The coming 'of a new and glorious morn.
