PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May N.-The rush of
Americans to Europe has never been greater
and more impetuous. The 'exodus," as it
is commonly called. has begun earlier this
year than has been the case in the past.
There are now nearly as many fashionable
New Workers IN London and Paris as there
are here, and more are going. The popu-
larity of the European tour increases every
year. There is class of rich Americans
who spend part of each year abroad. Some
of them take houses in London and Paris
and entertain there as much as they do at
home. Their acquaintance abroad are as
numerous as they are in New York.
