story of De Quincy, who entered a
house to avoid a shower and remained
a year. When 1 reached Chicago / in

ten. A three days visit was to be my
limit at Newport. l forget how long 1
stayed there.
The two great unique features of
American life are its clubs and its wo-
men. The exhibitions of athletes and
boxers that / saw at the Olympic Club
in San Francisco were amazing. The
terrific blows of the boxers reminded

such big men,
II visited many clubs from San Fran
cisco to New York and found the easy,
generous hospitality of the clubmen de-

aspects the best that ! visited. The
Knickerbocker club, of New York. is
q fine club also.

any other part of the United States,

"Since my arrival in Paris I bought
a book entitled Scientific Facts by
Max Nasoutz. 1t has not been on the
market a month, yet it was recon-

girls get from Paris the latest and
best books. American men haven't
the time for similar reading; their ex-
