One can pick an American out of the Parisian throng without ever making a mistake scarcely, by their fine erect figures and independent airs
 This is just one of the many inter- esfing "impressionsS brought back by and their children haveNbeen doing" Europe for the past three months.
 Mir and Mrs. Brophy have had a fine trip. He confessed this last night and at the same time admitted that his work here didn't look just goodNto him now. He Is confident that it will be fully a week before he can get back into his old routine again and instruc- tions have been given his assistants accordingly.

 The trip of the Brophys over Europe vas largely that of the beaten trail" of the American traveller. though they remained longer at some points than is the case with most of the American get-through-quick parties.
