are peculiar to the occident, and later
 when each traveller was served with a
 cup of real Japan tea, he was impress
 ed with the thought that there are
 some things worth living for even in
 the orient and that, perhaps, is the
 reason the Japs are fighting so hard.
 It was a big jump from Japan to Ire
 land, but it was made successfully
 by the tourists, who found a royal well
 come at Blarney castle, into which the
 residence of pr. J. c. Norton on north
 Second avenue had been transformed.
 Mrs. Norton knows exactly how an
 Irish hostess should perform and played
 the part, having many able assistants.
 AS was to be expected the guests
 found real pig in the parlor, cute
 little fellow, too, with a Gaelic squeal
 He was feeding mostly on shamrocks and such other poetical browse as he
 could get hold Of Miss Helene Ster- ling recited Winnie's Welcome to the
 tourists and Mrs. R. H. Richards sang Kathleen Mavourneen, to add reality
 to the scene. St. Patrick was on guard
 of course, in the person of Charles
 Sterling, and Happy Hooligan was i'm personated by Miss Dorothy Richards. There was a whole county full of peas- ant maids scattered around and as the
 among taking turns at kissing the Barney stone, their tongues were loosened one by one and it is feared they forgot some of the pretty things they had so recently said to the little oriental maids.
 The next stop was in Dutch- land, Holland, or more definitely de- scribed, at the residence of Miss Resor at the corner of Bennett Lane and First avenue. Miss Resor was assisted by Mrs. J. H. McClintock and Mrs. w. C. Foster, and what these ladies don't know about Dutch customs, costumes and decorations, it would puzzle a real Hollander to guess. There was every thing imaginable from the historical down to the present day and the peas ant maidens were so much out of date as to be fully up to date, even to the extravaganza of wooden shoes. Quaint country costumes were associated with quaint country customs and one was almost afraid to step out of the house for fear of being caught in the sweep of a long armed Dutch windmill.
 From Holland it was a quick jump back to the United States which. last night, was all concentrated into the Gillum residence on north First aven- ue. As the United States is a big country a big show was naturally ex- pected and there was no disappOint- ment. The United States last night was ruled over by Mrs. F. w. Young. the first time a woman has ever filled the chair of the chief executive. The were welcomed first by the goddess of liberty, who is otherwise known as Miss Jacobs. The original were represented by Miss Frankie Baker and MT. Fournier who would have passed anywhere for Poca- hontas and her big brother A later phase of American life was depicted by a negro minstrel show in which there roughly appointed, interloCutOr, solo l ists, chorus and all and many were the | jokes and the quaint south | eTn melodies that have become clas- | sical by age if not for the character of | the music. It was a black face" com l pany and with appropriate stage | clothes. Various phases of Ameri- ! can life were depicted and all in a most l splendid way. The decorations were ! unique and almost entirely of the na- tional colOrs, and Miss Dobbs and a | corps of real American girls looked af- | Ter the welfare of the American appetite in a truly American way, making all the tourists glad that they were Amer cans and that the trip around the world, at it's conclusion, left them at home in America
