GERMANY
The spacious residence of w. III.

Soldiers patroled in front at the house
and looked after the tickets at the door:
The parlor was transformed into a
perfect palm garden IN which were
placed numerous tables where the
tourist was served with coffee and
kuchen, by numerous pretty Gretchens.
Between the parlor and library was
lunch counter.
The hall and sitting rooms were ar
ranged for reception purposes, and in
the latter were stationed the musicians
who discoprsed dance and other music
and when the crowd was small enough
to admit it, dancing was INDUCED in.
In the hall were many German curios
which were very attractive, besides
there was lace maker and a spinner
! at work.

tune by Miss Brockman who was

IRELAND.
The Universalist church was trans
formed into veritable miniature Ire
land. All seats were removed from
the auditorium, and this was made
handsome by decorations which consist
ed of palms, ferns, cut flowers, screens,
oriental draperies, and the national
colors. On walls were pictures of
Queen Victoria, Robert Emmett, Will
liam Gladstone and other notables.
Around the sides of the room were
cushioned seats with profusion of
downy pillows. There were also num-
erous easy chairs and couches scattered
about; antique furniture, such as tables
stands, ETC. Tea tables, on which were
alcohol lamps, and handsome tea sets
and which were presided over by the
ladies, were placed about the room and
the traveller was refreshed with sip of
''rale Irish tay."
On stand was Lucky stone" and
its merits were told in verse, thus.
If you want to have good luck,
The tigers not the thing to buck,
Just take whirl and kiss this stone,
And then, begorra, the earth yen own.
One thing especially worthy of notice
was a case of curioS, relics from Ireland.
There was a pitcher which was over
200 years old; ring and breastpin $50
years old set with salt water diamonds;
toast and egg rack; towels, sheets, bed
spread, etc.
