The worst way to SEQ Europe is the Potiphars'
way: To go to grand hotel, and pay extraya-
giant prices for tho pleasure Of living amidst
throng Of ones own countrymon 6n4ylng out
under the guidance OF interested or ignorant
comnaissionaires coming upon nothing BY sur
lie and m4nncrs OF tho people OF the country.
The other Way is to take board in
SOME QUIET PENSION,

Ictter still, in some family of limited income

In America, a host Of reasons, which every

for the Educated citizen of good standing to FREE
