TRAVELLING IN EUROPE.
What It Means to Ride Second Glass on
the Railroads.

What 1t Means TO Ride Second Glass on
the Railroads.
A deluslon OF the guldebooks Is the
advice to ride second class on the rail-
roads Of Europe. II Is often pointed
out that first class and second class are
frequently but divisions Of the samo
car, and this makes a great impression
on the inexperienced traveller, particu-
larry IL htRpurse is limited. Landing
at Plymouth, Southampton, Hayre,
Cherbourg, Liverpool, you are at once
conveyed to London or Paris on steam
er trains under the same excellent
conditions that have prevailed on your
trip, but thereafter you are at your
own resources. and II you are wise you
will not only travel FIRST class, but you
will see to Il that your seat Is always
engaged well ahead If you travel sec
ond class between cities that CORE
spond to New York and Philadelphia,
say where intercourse u frequent and
numerous, you will most likely have
to stand up in all second class com
partments. To get a second class seat
between Vienna and Budapest, for ex-
ample, is about like boarding a train
for Coney Island at Brooklyn bridge on
summer Sunday afternoon, and II
you DO get seat somebody else sand
witches and sausages on your lap.
Another pRnt to be remembered Is
that fl Europe You cannot engage a
whole sleeping compartment for your
self, as you can here. You have to
show a ticket for each berth There
fore it behooyes the person travelling
alone at night to seek out before ar
ranging the trip some suitable com
panicn or for parties OF three or FIVE or
any odd number to make similar pro
visions Travel Magazine.
