Travelling Expenses in Europe.


People who believe that travel is ex-
teremely inexpensive in Europe should
be disabused. 1t is not SO very costly
from the very fact that the long trips
that one can undertake in the United
States are not to be made in the old
world. unless one goes to Russia, for
example, but the railway and steam
boat fares are not seductively low.
The five hours trip from Liverpool to
London costs 1925, the nine hours trip
from London to Paris costs $15. the
twenty-five hours trip from Paris to
Milan costs $24. One can, Of course,
take cheaper route from England to
France and reduce the price of the En-
glish and Italian journeys by buying sec
ond-class tickets, but when Ameri-
cans travel they-very sensibly, I think,
like to travel as swiftly and comfor-
tably as possible. Add to the figures
given above the additional charge for
extra baggage on the continent, "a
charge levied at every turn on all lug
gage in excess of a rediculously small
allowance,-and the voyager will sigh
for the outgrowth of competing lines,
bankrupt roads, and broken pools which
he profits by in the land Of the setting
sun.-Gossiper, in Neao Xork World.
