- on the part of both. They wanted
to stop at San Francisco. Sacramento,
Chicago and, if they had time, at

other places, but their father said as

would visit the cities of that continent
and some other time visit the cities
of their own country.
Jessie's father said that they would
probably land at Liverpool. The two

land SO of course they wanted to stop
there and see the old ruins OF castles
besides some of the principal cities.
Then came Londan and maybe a little
stop in ireland. After this Mary de-
