WHY SHE LIKED ROME.

In the Ancient City Alone Her Favorite
Dish Was Properly Cooked.
"There- is no accounting for tastes"
remarked a diplomat, who held one
of the highest foreign missions un-
der the Cleveland administration, and
VINO has recently returned to this coun-
try. During the four years l was ab.oad
1 met many thousands of Americans,
some Of whom have spent thousands and
thousands of dollars and years and years
of timc travelling about in all parts of the
world. They give all sorts of reasons for
travelling, while some OF them say they
have no particular reasons, but simply
travel because they like to, and that once
they get a taste of it they find difficulty
in settling down i'll their homes.
"Others told me that they travelled be-
cause, taking ii all in all, shey found that
they could remain abroad at less expense
than they could stay at home; and things
and times abroad were so mucn nicer, YOU
know! 1t is simply a matter of taste with
many persons. They have steady In-
come and prefer TO spend it in travel
rather than in any other way. But of all
the reasons a Boston lady gave me the
strangest. When met her she had thu en-
finished up her sixth year of travel; ne
b ad made three distinct tours around the
world and seen about everything that
could be seen. l ventured 10 ask her
which of all the cities she had visited
she found most interesting. After con-
sidering the question "a while she an
swered Rome. / asked her why she pre-
ferred that TO any other city, supposing il
might be for a religious reason, but soon
found out that religion was not her strong
hold. L like Rome BEST she said. be.
cause they cook and serve calfs brains so
nicely. In no other place in the world
can one get calf's brains In the various
ways they cook them in Rome. '"-Wash-
