the general and Mrs. Harrison found on one
of their honeymoon walks. Adjoining this
room is that formerly occupied by the gener-
ais secretary. This room and those on the
second floor-reached by an outside stairway
are all now utilized guest chambers. Mrs.
Harrison is of the opinion that when there is
a large house party at the lodge it is good for
both hostess and guests not to see too much
of one another, and consequently she gives her
visitors a sense of independence by installing
them in a habtation of their own, to speak.
Although there are IA bedrooms at Berkeley

being entertained almost constantly, Mrs.
Harrison lives very simply and maintains
most unpretentious establishment. The wants
of the household are looked after by capable
housekeeper, George, an old colored servitor.

Two religious sects who hated one another
bitterly were found by Sven Hedin in Tibet.
Searching for the cause of this aversion he
found that one of the sects believed that the
prayer wheel should turn to the right while
the other was convinced that the wheel should
turn to the left In the region of the Drama
putra he found mountain which is so sacred
that whoever walks around it 13 times has all
his sins forgiven. The result of this belief
is that criminals from far and near infest this
region. When Sven Hedin started to ride
around this mountain on his horse the pill
grims informed him that that would do him
no good.
