Mr.. and Mrs James H. Riddle, Jr.,
returned yesterday morning from an
extended tour of Europe. They de-
parted from Wheeling on May 9th, and
while abroad visited England and
other parts of Great Britain, Italy,
Hungary, and Germany. They had a
delightful trip, and the ocean voyage
was exceptionally pleasant. They met
many American tourists while abroad,
none of whom were acquaintance,
however. About two weeks were spent
In Paris, during which Mr.. and Mrs.
Riddle made frequent visits to the big
exposition.
Il don't think the Paris Exposition
can be compared to the Chicago
Worlds Fair" said Mr.. Riddle last
night, except in its buildings and the
illumination, in which it excels the
American fair. It's a big show, and
America shows up well comparatively.
One trouble is that some of the build
ings are very far removed from the
exposition proper. The American
machinery exhibit, for example, Is
fully six miles from the remainder of
the exposition buildings 1t appears
that the Americans were shut out OF
space and had to go that distance to
find a suitable location.
1.-THE American visitor in Paris is at
a disadvantage on account of his lack
of familiarity with the French Ian
guage, but it is not difficult to find a
man who speaks the English tongue.
Paris itself is gay and beautiful city,
which well repays a trip across the
ocean in itself"
