was the contrast from the brilliantly
lighted cities OF Eastern United States.
The streets are narrow and windingand
a stranger could not find his way atan.
for the people do not know the directions
but guide you to the rightor left. Aswe
were tired We were soon of to bed and
a damp. English bed .ouud it, bat was
too tired to worry much. Next morning

do not occupy awhole car here but a few
are shut oil in each compartment. We
struck up a conversation with number
, who entered our compartment and found
' them corteous, obliging people, much

lanes and hedges, and the peaceful little
villages where contentment sceusd 10

but rather TO having nice surroundings
aud they succeed well in that purpose.
