Our Trip to Europe.-Liverpool, June
17.-Dear Ones All.-You will be glad to
know that We are at last well started on
our European trip. We were SO carsick
on the train for New York that we did not
one Of us look out OF the window at
Niagara when we crossed the gorge.
neither did we care to look out at the
beautiful palisades Of the Hudson. These
are all described to death in the guide
books you know and as Lucille said,
They're nothing but the United States
anyway so why should we bother when
it's Europe and the Holy Land we want
to see.'
On the same principle we did not care
to see New York. We drove directly to
the hotel and went to bed with three as
sorted headaches.
In the morning, Lucille said:
20, I say, girls, let's stay in the hotel
and lie around quietly until the steamer
starts"
OF course we agreed enthusiastically to
this and had NICE conf Portable day talk
ing about our clothes and reading STONY
Lonesome a dull book without an en-
livening touch of humor in it.
At o'clock we took a carriage and
boarded the steamer. AS we were tired
with the days sightseeing we went to our
x,&1&
boat left the dock. AS we started to leave
the room towards o'clock, we found
we were all seasick and. would you be-
lieve it, we never saw the ocean at all.
We were sick the whole seven days! 1t
was disappointing emit to Mary H. as she
was anxious to see New York and the
ocean too, but it has been described so
many times that really 1t seemed quite
unnecessary and we were all glad to avoid
| it as it is said to be quite trying on the
eyes.
1t has been foggy ever since we have
| been in Liverpool and we have not left
the hotel to which we came in a closed
| carriage. We start for Canterbury and
| some of the cathedral towns tonight.
Just as we were closing up the letter
| Mary H. said:
''Why girls, we haven't seen one thing
| since we left home.'
| "Well,' said Mars aret, ''why should we?
They've all been described to death again
and again. For my part I intend to take
1t easy on this trip and not kill myself
sightseeing
We agreed with her that this was GER
| tainly the proper thing to do.
| Most loving remembrances to you all
from the three world -trotters
Lucille, Margaret and Mary H.
| 1t seems very difficult to tell whether
Mrs: Carrie Nation is to appear in Ten
| Nights. in a Barroom,'' or whether this
is a cruel newspaper story set in circula-
ton by some alleged joker with small
/ sense Of humor and still smaller sense
of the proprieties Personally we do not
believe that Mrs. Nation will appear upon
! the stage. It is not like her. Mrs. Lang
try has just returned from Europe with
| a play in which, there is partial disrobing
scene that is causing some division Of
sentiment among the critics but which
/ is generally condemned on the ground that
it is introduced merely for the purpose Of
making a sensation. 1t is not legitimate
drama at all If Mrs. Nation does appear
! behind the footlights, of one thing We
| may be certain. She will not condescend
| to any such stage tricks as this to tickle
4 the eyes Of the groundlings. We may be
certain Of strong, high class drama with
a sturdy object lesson that he who runs
may read Mrs. Nations and Mrs. Lang
try's methods of acting are as wide apart
as the poles.
