countries foreign to your own. Even
though you write your name i'll full
upon every hotel register and in every

are allowed to ID so. YOU will seldom
find that anybody viii turn to look after
you as yoH move away.
The car, the emperor, the queens

Tom Thumb are sure to have follow

able to gape or sneeze without seeing it

pecially we untitled Americans. need
not trouble too much about preserving
our incOgnito, for as a general thing it
preserves itself, and we may make our
little economies and pursue our own lit
tie way, quite sure that we shall, '.the

Another point in the wise expendi-
ture Of this thousand dollars is to see a
few places thoroughly, and not try to
visit every point Of interest i'll Europe. 1t
is travelling and hotel charges that eatup
ones funds on such excursions. If Won
make straight for London, put yourself
at once into lodgings at the West End,
and make good use Of your own feet, of
"buses" and cabs at fixed rates, and
you can spend q month or 10 with great
profit and pleasure, and at q compara-
lively small outlay.
You can't 60 to the races, nor to
Greenwich for whitebait dinners, nor
have boxes at the opera, nor flowers
from COvent Garden, nor can you en-
joy the varied and profuse table Amer

economic all the time, and if You will
do so you will find that there are a great
many things to be had in London that
you cannot have at home, and it is bet
ter to save money at the one point that
you may spend it at another.
On this head Of domestic economy
abroad, let me remind you that no
where abroad, especially in England.
may You have fruit, vegetables and
flowers az profusely and cheaply AZ jill
America. / remember a friend who,
intending to make little Money 20 a
long way, lived in lodgings il London,
ordering her food day by day from the
landlady, who buys and prepares il,
bringing in a weekly account Of her ex-
penditure. Thinking to be very eco
nomical, my friend ordered lightly Of
meats and made it up on vegetables
and fruit. At the end of the month
she was presented with bill whose
amount would have kept her at a first
class New York hotel for the same
length of time, and ON examination
found that for twenty days she had paid
twenty dollars IN the item Of green peas
alone.
Ia Paris the cheap way to live is to
find two or three friends with whom
you may take d little furnished apart
ment and bonne, who viii make your
purchases of food. fuel, etc., charging a
moderate percentage, and not, d. a gem
eral thing, cheating yoH more than j.
customary and tolerable This il u very
pleasant and d very economical way to
live if only You can find the two OF three
friends, and do not expect to be very
comfortable in the way of warmth, for
fuel is a great luxury IN Paris
You may live after this fashion still
more economically in the German cities,
notably Munich, which is sometimes
spoken of as the most economical city in
Europe, and there are certainly many
things in Munich worth considering.
For myself l don't like Germany nor
German cities, being essentially Latin
IN my tastes, antecedents and associates,
but you, Oh tho other hand, may be a
Saxon. and find il the Vater-Land every
thing your heart can desire.
Speaking of Germany reminds me
that began by speaking of the ingenu-
Gus youth who was giving mea account
of his travels, and the thing that amused
me most was lis description Of the table
d'hote dinner, at which he for some
days assisted i'll German town whose
name | have forgotten, and where he
was very much impressed with the fact
that everybody, even very ordinary
guests indeed, bowed politely to the COM
pany upon seating themselves, made con
versation with their neighbors as occa-
sion suggested, offered little table cour-
tesies to each other as if they were at
home, and finally, on rising, uttered the
gracious German valedictory Of -.AIaha-
zeit. that is to say, Good luck with
your digestion, friendsF'
ssThe idea Of wishing lot Of strangers

amusing young fellow ''And above all
to concern themselves lett that villain
Gus cabbage soup and greasy sausage
should disagree with me, H. of course
they were safe to 40, ana did. Still ii

it, and Of course / didn't want they

Certainly I thought it the right thing
to do and told him so. and also took oc-
casion to air favorite theory Of my
own that Americans ought always and
everywhere and with everybody TO be
as well hammered rs anybody else under
the sun. We Az 4 nation arc made UP
from every people and every race, and
there IL no reason that we should not a.
similate and practice hot only those
sturdy and p0nderous virtues of the
English, upon which W. are so apt to
plume ourselves. but the more gracious
and graceful qualities Of the Latin races.
Whether the Frenchman, OF the Span

pleasant to hear him say III and why
should not his American cousin be just
as courteous as he, and at the same
time Just as sincere and reliable as their
mutual cousin, John Bulls l don't see
why we need always 10 take after
one side Of our ancestry and ignore the
other. Let rs, if not aloud, certainly
in our manner. say to all our fellow
travellers, as | now say cordially toyou,
