ter in my life. We win reach Port
Said about noon and win take coal
there and we can 60 on shore for sew
eral hours.
suppose you will soon receive my
letter from Paris and my card from
Marsailles. The trip from Paris to
Marsailles will long be remembered:
Southern France is the most beautiful
country ever saw. The mountains,
valleys, streams, grasses and trees
form scenes that are beautiful beyond
description. Oh, how I wish you
could have seen it, The town of Mar
sailles is very pretty and picturesque
old place.
1t is lovely to sit or promenade on
deck We get together and sing
hymns The ocean has given me an
alto voice, guess At least / can
sing alto quite easily and l have tried
to sing it before, but was never sue
cessful as now ] don't think / will
ever forget this morning, the balmi-
ness Of the air and beauty of the sea.
My heart is full of praise.
We have had breakfast now and /
will finish your letter. 1t was nice as
we sailed along the coast Of Italy. We
Travelled for miles and miles close TO
the land All along the coast the
mountains overlooked the sea, some
times they were bold and rugged
looking, again beautiful with color
and very picturesque | could see
rivers coming down from between the
hills and emptying themselves into
the sea. We could see the train run
ming on the land and We passed many
villages and towns.
In the evening as the full moon rose
up from behind the mountains it was
beautiful as it shone on the sea.
don't like London very well. Eng
land is very pretty country, as l saw
it from Liverpool to London. 1t was
raining and showing, but the fields
were green and looked all the prettier
for the contrast, perhaps, but l think
it must be a very beautiful country in
the summer time.
/ went to Westminster Abbey twice,
but it was closed so that we could not
go through. We went In TO the SER
vice the first time and the organ was
fine, but there was such an emptiness
about it all The spirit of worship
seemed lacking amid all the imposing
form and ceremony. 1t was so far
away that l did not go back.
went through the tower and saw
where many lonely captives breathed
out their last sighs, and left inscrip-
tions on the walls. / saw where Anne
Boliyn, Lady Jane Gray and someone
else Il have forgotten whol were be-
headed. The tower Of London is a
gloomy place. You can see the ar
mour Of different kings, warriors, the
crown Jewels and other things. We
saw Victoria's crown. l saw the
House of Commons and House Of
Lords and Victoria'S S Tower.
The most wonderful and interesting
thing | visited while there was Mad
anne Trouseau's wax works. There
you will see wax figures of kings,
queens, persons of rank, men Of genius,
etc. saw Mckinley, full Size, and he
looked like his pictures. Roosevelt
was there, the poets and statesmen
we're there. saw Abraham Lincoln,
Washington and others too numerous
to mention. The most interesting to
me we're the kings and queens and
people in whom became interested In
my study Of history. saw Charles
Dickens and Tennyson. The figures
were so life-like and moved and turned
In some cases to give even a more life
like appearance. The people of rank
were handsomely dressed and adorned
with Jewels. Miss Kellog was fooled
twice and in one case talked to a wax
figure. did not get fooled. looked
lclosely. One lady, a lovely French
woman, was killed In the attack on
the Tulleries in the French revolution,
was lying down asleep,and her drapery
fon her bosom rose and fell as natur-
Ially as IL was really breathing.

that you would get any idea Of the

idly apparelled people, and the halls
were nicely furnished and well lighted.
