Now suppose you had energy enough in
| you to look up this European trip and SET
what you could do It for. You would find II
rather surprising. You would learn. for ex-
ample, that there is such thing as twin
ter rate" Take, for example, the Red Star
line. For q first-class cabin passage, which
would cost you sl75 one way between April
81 and July 81, you would find it cost but $l4t
for the round trip between August and
April 20. But you need not fly so high. You
can go drst-class from New York or Phila
delphia to Antwerp on the Red Star line
and return on the Inman line from Liver
pool to New York for $l0s the round trip.
For your trip YOU need a satchel, q soft hat
and tennis shoes, in addition to your usual
clothing. If you are willing to 60 second.
class on any of the big boats of these lines
you can do 1t tor $50 to $780, and be we'll fed
ten days each way
Let us suppose you decide to go comfort.
ably at Sl0s You have a delightful voyage,
get glimpse of the South of England coast
as you go up the channels; see the Isle oil
Wight, Brighton, the French coast and the
Flemish country as you pass up the Scheld.
You arrive early in the morning at Ant
werp. spend 81 for sightseeing. food and
lodging that day and night. Early next
morning you leave for Paris; fare Sc. You
stop lpng enough in Brussels to get glimpse
of the city, or you remain until next morn
ing in that notoriously cheap place. Then
you go on through the fertile Belgian plains
into France with historic towns and cities
all along the road. 1t is but six hours and a
half run from Antwerp to Paris.
IN the latter city you can get good,
clean room for 81 q day. Your meals will
cost from 20 cents to $50 each according to
the location of the restaura mt and the name
of the man over the door. You remain four
days, spend say $40 which includes more
sights of interest and good things to eat
than you have ever before packed into four
months. Then you are of to London via
Calais and Dover, fare seoond-class, (which
Is quite good enough) about So. You can get
a fair idea of French life and farming at ex-
press speed from the windows of the car
riage If you travel by day. That night early
you are in London. You have decided to
spend $3.50 on the trip. You have so far
spent Sl6S, say $40. You can live and live
well in London for S. a day. You spend $40
for odds and ends for presents and $40 m ore
for sightseeing, excursions and cabs. You
leave London in three days, having say $50
left. Your fare to Liverpool is about o. The
remainder will take you home readily after
paying fees.
You have had a month of delightful nov
city, your mind is broadened, you have
picked up data for lies for ten years.
and you vow you will do it again next year.
If you want to do all this on cheaper basis,
you can cover the same ground for $500
easily. ! have put the figures at q fair esti-
mate including comfort and reasonable
amount of knocking about. You can't buy
the Louvre or take chambers in PiccadIlly
on these terms, but you can do it well
enough for a modest young man with mod
est salary.
THE place would sell for about $500 o
front foot, but that does not affect the ardor
OF the boys. With poles and white muslin
they have rigged up booth, q fair imita-
tion of those you see outside race courses
OF at a country fair. Beside the booth
stands n marquee tent captured from the
lawn. Here sundry bright-eyed merchants,
aged from to 8, dispense lemonade and
watermelon to a hungry and thirsty public.
1t is fun for tho boys, and the elegant houses
that look down on Fifth avenue from the
hillside seem to take it good naturedly.
THERE are folios Of complaint uttered, if
not published, about the trouble of getting
good telephone service between the East
End and the downtown districts. In the
East End itself it is easy to get on speaking
terms with the person you want, but when
you call up Pittsburg proper, your worri-
ment begins. There seems to be con-
spiracy on the part of all your friends to
either be busy or out when you seek to raise
them. If some agent of the company would
try the service here and there without Civ
ing warning beforehand 1t would result in
satisfactory changes no doubt. That the
company can overcome great dimcuities Is
shown by the manner in which they have
almost obviated the electric car induction
nuisance.

In view of the type of man who made the
attack on Mr. Frick and of the character of
those who are thought to have inspired
Bcrkman and assisted him, It is more than q
singular coincidence that Andrew Carnegie
