PALLANzA, Saturday, Aug. s.


This is the most beautiful of all places
for a Sunday rest. I've been wishing
ever since we came that you were all
here with me. l hope. papa is not swelt-
ering down in Missouri still. 1t seems so
selfish when | think how I'm here in
August. cecl and comfortable, with moth
log to do but lounge aronnd and enjoy
life generally, and you are all at work,
perhaps suffering from the heat. How
should love to transport you every one to
this lovely Lake Maggiore for boat ride
with us this afternoon. The little boys
would enjoy it, and wouldn't Mrs. z. love
to see them, She says she doesn't worry
about them. She dreamed one night that
y. was dead, but was relieved by a let
ter soon after which told of the children's
welfare | think she is more eager for
news than she cares to confess. Profess
sor 2. laughs at the rest of us for caring
so much to get our letters, but you see it's
quite different when he has Mrs. 2. with
him. When he was over here alone he
was lust as anxious for letters as any Of
u.s. One OF the girls hasn' t yet had let
ter from home, and believe Mrs. III. has
two small sons unheard from, but we all
hope for letters morrow.
MIR. Jas. z. was to join us here, but
he's not yet put in an appearance. Per
haps he is searching vainly for that lost
washing. Professor wrote him to look
it up and bring it to us. 'Tis huge I'M
dertaking; tit for one OF Pinkerton' S
men, but if he does come in crowned
with success land the bundle of clean gar
ments), we shall all feel like.falling upon
his neck. He goes on to Paris with US,
believe. It's my opinion that there will
be some interesting DEVELOPMENTS during
the journey. L, at least, expect to be
highly entertained by watching the course
of events for the next two weeks. L
think there was some disappointment
that lie did not come last night. Newly
.'shampooed" locks, in all stages of be-
witching fluffiness, floral decorations and
so on were noticeable at the supper table.
Everything is ready tor the play to begin
when once the hero doth appear. | can
see yonr reproachful glances. so III make
an end to disrespectful alluslons.
We came to PalIanza at five O'Clock
yesterday p. NJ. From Aroma, we took
steam boat; came past the Borromean
Islands, and bits of picturesque coast.
The town is not very large, but we're off
at one side, on a promentory, with a
most delightful lake view. The hotel is
very pleasant--Iarge summer resort--
''Grand Eden'' by name. The grounds
are nicely laid out; beds of old fashioned
flowers. zuinias, touch me-not, larkspur
and dahlas. Then there are roses, OLE
ander jasmine,E Ct think it isl, eyergreens,
a magnolia tree in blossom. and that
purple flower Mrs. j. so often wears.
There are ever so many little shady
walks and hooks, and, best of all, boats
fer rent just down in front. Some OF the
crowd went out last night. We enjoyed
looking down on the water from our win
dow. and will take our ride this after
noon, My American flag floats in the
breeze: it is pinned to an umbrella han
die and tied to the window. The effect
may not be very imposing from the stand
point of Italian lookers-on, but.l coulan't
resist the desire TO see our colors waving.
