Most women who travel in Europe en-
dure the journey much more patiently
than do men. Those who are experi-
enced always carry plentiful supply Of
rugs and shawls, and, if they cannot
speak various languages, a luncheon.
Beyond this their baggage is exceedingly
limited. The American woman usually
is overburdened with trunks, boxes and
bags. They are a nuisance everywhere,
not only to herself at depots and Gus
toms stations, but 10 her fellow travel
ers. They are always tumbling down
from the overloaded racks or otherwise
getting in the way. and she is lucky If
she gets any real assistance in taking
care of them. European travellers, in
spite of the boasted privacy Of the com
partment carriages as compared with
American cars. are thrown more closely
into contact with each other than they
are In America. But most men decline

the ladies travelling within might induce
the porter to turn out any man who
should venture to smoke. In all proba-
blllty, however, no man would venture
to light up or even enter any such COM
| partment. German carriages OF each class
| are usually divided into three compart-
ments-one marked as above, another I'M
marked and another plainly labeled for
smokers 1t frequently happens that
only one compartment in an entire train
is reserved for those who do not smoke.
The result is, therefore. that ladies' have
to travel in Germany in most cases with
men who find in cigars their only relief
from tedium of long journey. And
in the course of many trips, short and
long, through that country never saw
one woman object TO the practice, or
one man light his cigar with any apol-
ogy.
A good example Of what woman
must expect to meet IN European travel,
and of the best way to put up with it,
was shown in my first journe~ from
Paris to Cologne The train started at
II p. IN. for a thirteen hours run with
few stops. 1 had been advised to 20
second class, on the grounds that the
first class is not whit better. which is
true. and that the raro sleeping wagons
are no more comfortable than the ordi-
nary compartments. This is not strictly
true. Europeans have accustomed them
selves to sleeping bolt upright in narrow
quarters, where the American finds only
wakeful discomfort; but the American
who had stretched out upon bed in =
sleeper would find his rest substantially
destroyed by the necessity of getting on:
every now and then at the frontiers. 1t
takes half hour to pass the customs Of
6cers at frontier stations. during most
of which time the passengers are locked
up in q pen; and if traveller suffers
this twice between / p. m. and . "A. IN.
he will find that his sleeping berth has
been a useless expense.
