tivitics. After the stay in Rome they
went to Siena and Florence, passing three
weeks in the latter place, from which
they departed for Venice and Milan. They
then made tour Of the Italian lakes after
which they crossed the Alps into Switzer-
land by the San Gotthard pass.
This pass is now crossed by railway
which Is regarded as the most stupen-
dous piece of engineering Of Its kind in
the world In order to gain the height of
the pass and cross from the Italian side
and descend agaia to Switzerland on the
north, where the abrupt face of the noun
tains rendered 1t impossible to secure on
the outer surface suitable zig gag curves,
entirely within the bowels of the noun
tains.
In Switzerland they stayed while at
Lucernc on the Lake of La Four Cantons
and then went over the Buring pass to
1nterlacken, from whence they journeyed
up the valley so Griendeuwald then to
Wengenalp, from which rises the beautiful
crown of the Jungfrau, and saw on her
white face the blush which mantles 1t at
the setting of the sun. From there they
went down the valley of the Lanterbrun-
nen and crossed lake Thun to tho town of
Thun and then went to Berne. From
there they went to lake Lcman upon
which considerable time was passed This
beautiful lake Is celebrated for the blue Of
its waters. They visited among tho most
attractive cities which adorn Its shores,
including Vevey and Geneva and from
there they went to Paris and remained
month, making preparations for their re
turn to Augusta. Mr.. Haynes two
daughters had been living and studying
abroad for over three years.

after delightful passage of less than
seven days upon the broad Atlantic. From

weeks at Broad Acres, the country seat
of Mr.. H. r. Sturgis. After an absence

landscapes of Maine as beautiful and the
features OF their native city, Augusta, al
most as entertaining in their novelty as
many Of the noted place they have visited.
