THE TRIP AROUNDTHE WORLD
Many People Took Advantage of the
Chance to Make the Journey
Friday.

Everyone likes to travel and there
are probably very few people who do
not cherish a wish that they could
travel around the globe and see the
sights and study the customs and Pc
peculiarities of the different nation
alities. 1t was with this in mind that
the ladies of the Methodist church
made arrangements whereby lola peo-
pie could take trip around the globe
Friday night.
The start was made from the Meth
odist church. The tickets were bought
there and the journey commenced.
Berlin was the first point at which a
stop was made. This was at Major
Foust's handsome new home on East
Madison. Everything was German.
The decorations were German, the
refreshments we're German and served
10y German girls, and by the time the
visitor was ready to leave he had u
splendid idea of what a German home
is. The tourists especially enjoyed
the refreshments at this stop.
From Berlin the visitors we're taken
on to China, or to be more explicit to
George Bowlus' residence on East
Madison. This was one of the most in
teresting places visited. A real, live
Chinaman and his wife were there to
greet and and entertain the travellers
and they had with them many Chinese
articles of apparel and souvenirs.
Mr.. Hwang and his wife are highly
educated Chinese who came to Amer
lea last fall to study American ideas
and education and are at present at.
tending school at Baker University.
Before leaving, China rice served with
chop sticks was set before the hungry
travellers
Klondike was the next country on
the ticket and it proved to be at j.
A. Robnson's home on East Buch-
anon. The front room had been ele-
gantly decorated to represent noun
tains covered with snow and it made
one cold to step in the room. This
scene was worth the trip ITSELF. While
in Klondike everyone purchased a
gold nugget as souvenir and bought
q shovel and dug for gold. The re.
refreshments here of course consisted
OF ices.
On leaving Klondike voyage was
taken TO the residence OF Dr. b. f
Jones on south Walnut was filed with
Filipino relics and souvenirs. APP
propriate refreshments were served
by Filipino girls and the voyagers
examined with great deal of inter
est the different articles of the Fill
pinos which were on display.
From Manila it was all aboard TO l
America and down at F. V. Crouch:
residence the travellers found them
selves back among American decora
tions and customs and people. There
is nothir g which makes quite so goot
a decoration as the old stars anC
stripes and they were displayed will
good effect in Washington" las
night. Mrs f. Bennett Smith anC
Mr.. Chas Gardner sang in thei
usual enjoyable way and Miss Haze
Stevenson gave several good recita
tions. The wanderers were conveyed
back to the starting point from her
and the trip was over.
The ladies who had the affair il
charge and who assisted in the even
ing's entertainment are to be con
graduated on the successful way il
which it was carried out. They ha
wagonettes and surreys chartered 70
the evening and were able to furnis
transportation for nearly all. Th
, roads were so bad that it interfere
somewhat with travelling and mad
the trip take more time than it woul
! have otherwise. At Mr.. Crouch's a.
\ were asked to register and 26O name
were signed. Many got away withou
, putting their names down at all. Th
different points were we'll filled wit
r visitors all evening and the ladies ha
= all the crowd they could handle.
