Off for Paris.

- How ana at what cost can one leave
Rochester, see Frances show and come
home again?n is the question, and one
who has been there says that for those
who always travel first class and put up
at expensive hotels the following esti-
mate may be considered as safe, if all
extras and unnecessary matters are left
out of the count. For journey to and
from PARIS and to sojourn in that city for
three months, the fares would be about
these:
From Rochester to New York and return,
including meals and sleeper =. -. ......S Is 90

For persons who would prefer to
travel and live in more economical
style, the following figures will convey
an idea of what the usual traveller
pays fora trip to Paris and back:

ing meals. II 90

turn ticket, first class, but not choice

alone do not eXpend more than say
$500 for four-months' trip, while the
remaining one-fourth lay out $500 to
$1,000 or $4,000 for travelling and
hotel expenses. On the other hand,
very economical person, travelling for
study, gets over as much ground and
perhaps sees and learns more than the
stylish voyager, and is not out of
pocket more than $500.
1t must be understood that carriages,
balls, operas, theaters, ETC., are eek
tras." In order to travel cheaply it
must not be forgotten that one should
have travelled and should also under
stand the languages of the countries
through which he journeys.
The quickest (and most eXpensive)
passages from London, to Paris are Ui0
Dover and Calais, ten hours and TWEEN
ty-fve minutes, and by Folkestone and
Boulogne (by special express), nine
hours and fifteen minutes. The sea
passage is about ninety minutes. The
trip from London to Paris g1o New
Haven and Dieppe is longer (but
cheaper), and on that account is very
distressing to tourists who suffer from
sea sickness, and almosteyeryone, even
those who escape the NAL de nser in
crossing the Atlantic, are Frustrated by
it in crossing the Channel, however
short the passage may be. The ride
through Normandy, in going from
Dieppe Through Rouen) to Paris, in
the daytime, during the spring and
summer months, is especially interest
ing, for the prospect is perhaps the fin
est in France.
One word may be said about the out
fit of the trip. Take as little baggage
luggage in England) as possible. A
few changes of winter clothing, and
suit of outer garments of heavy wooden
goods that may be thrown aside in
Liverpool for the return trip, must
be provided. The ocean passage is
mostly in high ATTITUDES and it is nearly
always quite. cold in the summer.
Travellers will think it is blowing a
gale all the time, and the wind is some
times piercingly' cold On arriving
out, clothing of every description, ex-
cept that made OF cotton, is much
cheaper than with us, and nearly all
who visit Europe supply themselves
with wearing material made of linen,
wooden, silk and skins while in the
United Kingdom or on the Continent.
