WASHINGTON, March 10, lS91.-[Special |
correspondence of THE HERALD. = Our |
summer trip to Europe!
Where shall we go!
What shall we take with u.s.
How much viii it cost?
These questions are of interest to all who
intend to travel abroad. Sixty thousand
and more Americans go to Europe every
year. The number constantly increases,
and several hundred thousand families all
over the land are laying out tours for the
near future. Washington is full of people
who go abroad every summer. Our most
noted ladies are experienced travellers and
their answers to the above questions are
both valuable and interesting
MRS. LoGAN's ADVICE TO TRAVELLERS.
Said Mrs. General Logan, who chaper-
oned the rich Pullman girls last year:
''If were going to take foreign trip,
the first thing | should do would be to map
out complete outline of my journey. l
would get the best guide book and study
the various routes. Then would buy an
excursion ticket of one of the great tourist
agencies without taking the hotel coupons.
These tickets are made out for Just where
you want to go, and they cost no more
and often less than in buying from town to
town. The guides of the companies wais
upon you at the various stages and take
care of your baggage. For example when
j travelled last year in company with the
Misses Pullman, we made the journey
from Vienna to Venice without stopping,
arriving at our destination at one clock at
night. There we were. three strange females.
perfectly ignorant of our bearings except
so much as we had learned from our guide
BOOKS, yet as Tree from anxiety Is though
we were about TO step upon familiar soil,
being aware that every arrangement for
our comfort had already been attended to
by our Vienna guide VINO, after consulting
us in reference to our choice of hotels had
autographed our nGmes personal deScrIp-
ton and plans to his fellow guide at Venice,
who in the employ of the same company,
was promptly on hand to receive US aud ar
range Tor our luggage. He mad previously
engaged our appointments as selected by
ourselves, and the gondola was ready
awaiting US at the Mole.
We stepped into this from the steamer
and after lovely moonlight row, the very
poetry of motion, we were transported
across the water TO the very foot OF the
marble stairway leading up to the hoteln
VISITING THE CONSUL.
zone very important point and one often
overlooked by American TOURISTS Mrs.
Logan went on, sis upon first arriving in a
strange city to visit the American consul
and have your name registered. BY this
means you place yourself under the protec-
ton oil your government and get not only
better attention at the hotels or other ac-
commodations, but should accidents occur,
as they oft-tlmes 90, you can be readily
identified and proper care taken of yoUr
possessions. Another mistake that tourists
invariably make is to attempt to set I'D
their own customs IN preference TO follow
ing the approved customs of the country
wherein they temporarily reside BY fol
lowing this rule, YOU will soon reap the re
ward OF better service and greater anxiety

seldom care 10 accommodate those who
show little or no respect to their national
preludlces.
CHEAPER THAN AT HOME.
I'm general, people can travel abroad
much cheaper than is possible in our own
lana. The ordinary rates of board at one
OF our sea side or spring resorts would
amply cover the expenses of a continental
tour, leaving out of the question the pas,
sage money across. Yet hundreds VIII each
season give preference 70 the doubtful
pleasure OF monotonouS round Of walks.
rides, dances and gossip that fill up the
days ana nights at most fashionable water
ing places, over the more assured pleasures
and educational advantages Of travel.
simply from the fact that few understand
the true economy Of enjoyment, and have a
false idea that it requires almost prncely
means to properly take advantage of for
eign travel In the first place ladies make
serious mistake in burdeniug themselves
with much luggage, the larger portion OF
which IS transported from place to place
without ever being required. All that is
really needed is to carry a goodsized sea
trunk, containing half dozen changes of
underwear, a cloth travelling dress and a
hight S TX suitable for shore duty upon oc-
casions Of luncheons or other informal en-
tertainments TO which one may chance TO
be invited. Any more full dress toilet may
be secured either in London or Paris at a
few hours notice. When travelling on land
a lady viii never have any difficulty if she
avoids osteltatious display of dress aud
Jewels which generally leaves one prey

first 10 the office of the superintendent of
the road, introduce yourself, purchase
tickets for your seat in the compartment,
and he VIII place you under the charge OF
the conductor whom you need never fee
over and above twenty FIVE cents. This is
ali they expect and will secure you every
courtesy. Many ladies think it necessary
TO engage an entire compartment each OF
which has seating capacity of six. Dur
ing my last trip abroad to which | have al
ready alluded, there were but three of us
IN the party and we simply purchased three
tickets. Our conductor proved true &c his
charge in every case and we were never
disturbed by intruders."
