count of he SOjourn in
Europe.

Wednesday morning at $50 Ex-sen.
ator D. @. Chase, with a small party
of friends, boarded the tug Media and
started for the Sandy Hook Lightship,
where they met the Hohenzollern.
From there, they kept beside the big
ship until they reached Boboken,
where Mr. Chase had the pleasure of
greeting his daughter Lulu personally
for the first time since June B.. All
along the way to Hoboken her friends
were calling out to her from the boat
across the deep. Mr.. Chase was de-
lighed to see his daughter, for he had
missed her greatly in his home, which
she had the entire management of be-
fore going abroad.
Miss Chase had sailed from Italy on
the Princess Irene as far as Gibraltar,
and from there on the Hohenzollern.
The party on the tug Media met the
big ship at 49, 80 and arrived from
their return trip at 6. 80 p. m. in South
Amboy.
The correspondent was favored with
an interview Thursday evening at
Miss Chase's home and found her in
the midst of many handsome souvenirs
from the different countries she had
visited. MI. Chase is a very pleasing
host. genial and courteous, making
one feel perfectly at ease and at home.
His daughter, Miss Lulu, is a very
charming young lady, a pretty blonde.
She was beautifully gowned in white
and wore a handsome white silk
shawl with fringe a foot in depth,
over her shoulders, one of the so l.
venirs she had brought with her. She
said she had rough weather on the
voyages, but had been fortunate to
escape the terrible seaslckness which
attacked most of the other voyagers,
and was able to go to the dining room
and partake of the several courses of
food and enjoy them. She had met
some charming people on the trips.
Miss Chase sailed on the Cimric the
fifth OF June and arrived at London,
England, 6rst. She had a young lady
school friend with her and another
friend as chaperone, Mrs. F. Mason
Perkins, of Ciana, Italy.
They visited England, France, Bel
GUM, Germany, Switzerland, Italy,
Greece and Spain. They also made a
little trip to Moravia. After they
arrived in Italy their c~haperone's
husband became ill and she was COM
PEELED to leave the young ladies with
a party of seven friends of the chaper-
one, who joined them and went with
them to Greece and Spain. Miss
Chase was delighted with Italy and
Spain. She thought the people par
ticularly fascinating, the latter, espec-
tally.
While at Madrid she witnessed a
bull fight and saw six bulls killed.
At first it seemed too horrible to be
enjoyed, but after a while its effect
wasE demoral1zing and it somewhat
lost it's horror for her. She pitied the
poor. horses more than she did the
bulls, for after being terribly gored,
they would be wrapped up and brought
out again. Altogether she had gu lite
an eventful trip. At the isthmus of
the Arabic Sea she witnessed the
wreck of the North German Lloyd
steamer among the archipeligoes. She
also saw a violent eruption of Mount
Vesuvius, of which her description
was very graphic. While in Sicily
there was a severe earthquake, but
being in Syracuse, she only felt the
shock.
Mr.. Chase was terribly alarmed at
that time, having read of it and know
ing his daughter was there, he was
looking for a cablegram with bad
news, but fortunately did not receive
any.
Willis visiting Greece and Spain
they remained on board of the boat,
eating and sleeping there instead of
a shore. They were on the boat two
weeks and delicious grapes and cur
rants were brought OH board which
were used for drying, as ~raisins, etc.
The souvenirs, which Miss Chase
brought with her, consisted Of very
beautiful Spanish lace and drawn
work, Majolica vases, bronze statu-
cites, Oriental embroidery, coral and
Vene tian BEADS, Toledo damascene
work, Pompeian silver and glass,
antique lamps. and several other
articles. There was a musical instru-
ment made of turtle she'll, which the
natives at Anglers, Moravia, play on,
and tobacco pouches, worn by natives,
silk bags. A large handmade tray,
copper work, and slippers for Mr..
Chase and herself, very handsome.
