NOW IN IRELAND.

NOW IN IRELAND.
Have been very busy here in the
lace making business. This is the
greatest place in the world for fine
laces and Irish crochet laces In the
school | attended here were many
beautiful blouses. coats, gowns, III
fact anything one wishes, if they have
the price | will bring fine collec-
tion of real laces home with me that
my friends may see what | have
learned on this side. But oh, the cur
rency here is nhe bother OF my life
Their pennies are almost the size OF
our silver dollars, and every place
you make a purchase they hand you
from 10 10 pence | have had to
change purses. my small one not be-
:ng large enough to carly English
money Belfast Is quite a beautiful
place, and one OF the largest steam
ship industries in the world is there
,cated 1t is quite interesting to see
them building those beautiful ships.
The. most amusing thing l did in
Ireland was TO take a ride on one of
the Irish jaunting carts. Every one
knew it was my first attempt by the
way | was holding on, but l did not
mind furnishing little sport for the
Irish. | had The pleasure of being
shown through lace and linen fac
tory here in Belfast. which was of
much interest TO me. also the Good
Shepherds Convent, where / pur-
chased three very beautiful real lace
handkerchiefs that were made in the
convent The ship is nearly ready to
sail again, and l must arrange my
baggage in my state-room, Will finish
this when 1 have more time, and af
ter | reach London and Paris
NOW IN LONDON.
The frs. place + visited here was
the Buckingham palace. which can
not be described as being a beautiful
place. bat very quaint looking. The
surroundings however, are very beau
tiful, there being thousands OF dol
lars worth OF gold on the points OF
the high picket fence, which sur.
rounds the palace The gates are very
elaborately decorated with gold and

guard The palace faces St. james
park where there were thousands OF
people on promenade-which was
quit sight for a country girl TO see
-ha! ha! The next place l visited
after being located in the central part
of the city, and having my arrange
ments all made for entering the Roy
al Art School of Needle Work, was
the London Tower. The old tower
was a great sight to see. There they
have the block and AK that did the
work in early days, many noted peo-
pie having their heads severed from
their bodies here The dentation in
the block showed very plainly where
the AK went through. 1t made me
shu1der when / touched rhe block
md ak Net caring to remain in this
state of feeling | passed on to where
the beautiful crown jewels were IN a
large room with two high iron bar
fences that guarded the large round
glass case in which these jewels were
displayed. 1t seems a pity to have
so many millions of dollars set aside
in these jewels, when they could use
IT to such good advantage here
among the poor. for it seems to me
there are beggars in every square in
London
have also attended service in the
St. Paurs Cathedral, and West Mn
ster Abbey These places l visit after
my school hours are over, which last
from to hours a day After these
hours can see the sights of London
| went out TO the Franco British ex-
hibitson which although beautiful
sight is not nearly as nice as was the
Chicago exhibition. One can go long
way in London in a very short time
if they go by rhe tube" as they call
II here. 1t is a passageway IS feet
