 Well. here we are-in dear old Scotland, having just gotten off the steamer. and I am sure we are all very glad. We are staying in one of the finest hotels in Edinburg. I tell you it is simply grand; it's immense.
 Menus in French.
 "The meals are all daintily served in fine courses. All the menus are written in French-they are so unique and artistic, and the style of them impressed us very much.
 We four girls decided to have our rooms altogether, and everything seems SD grand after all we had to put up with in the limited quarters on the steamer.
 In Old Ednburg.
 We spent yesterday afternoon and today in sightseeing in old Edinburg. The men dress queerly nere and the soldiers all in their fancy highland dress. It certainly seems strange to us.
 "The buildings, streets and parks. grass plots, etc, are the wonderful things we notice here matter in which the American cities, can not hold candle to the cities here. Not a piece of wood is to be found any where here-even the fences are all made of stone.
 See the Big Bridge.
 This afternoon we took a wagon, and drove nine miles down through the country to see the famous Forth Bridge. It is the oldest and second longest and highest bridge in the world, and is used for steam cars only
 We go to England on Thursday morning.
 We have not decided what we are going to do tonight We are on our own resources from now until we get to England.
 Reminded of .iome.
 Last night we went to fine vaude- vile entertainment--a first class one too. There were three balconies. and a gallery--so you can imagine the size of the theater. American Bio graphs shown, looked and reminded us of home. What seemed so strange to us is the fact that men kept their hats Oh. and at the same time smoked continually during the performance. This seems the custom in many Euro pean theaters.
 'lt has been raining all day here, but we can expect nothing else when we get to England-it will be much worse than here, 1 fear"
 Miss Hartman then closes her let ter, telling her family that hereafter she was going to divide sending her letters and cards, some of them to be mailed from England, and the others from Paris.
 Everybody" she concludes 'in the party is well and getting along finely Will write when we reach England. ]"
 Likes London Better.
 The Reports next letter was malt ed from Paris and was from all four of the tourists. They say:
 We thought when we left Edin- burg we had seen the finest city in Europe but We changed our minds when we arrived in London.
 We left Edinburg early Thursday morning, and spent the day travelling. The scenery down through Scotland and England is very picturesque.
 ''England seems to us to be one large flower garden. Every place where it is possible to plant flowers you are sure to find them. The fields are filled with flowers growing wild, the ppppies growing in the fields here as We find the daisies at home.
 "We have been hearing that it is very hot at home, we'll the heat is very scarce here, we have ben com pelled to wear coats every day since We left home.
 "We arrived in London about D.. m. and went direct to the hotel. we stayed at the St. Ermins and very fine, large hotel we found 1t to be. We went in to dinner during which a fine orchestra was playing continually.
 They See the King.
 The next morning we had the pleasure of seeing King Edward and the Queen and they certainly did jus tice to the pictures we have seen of them.
 ''In the afternoon we went to West minister Abbey. It is certainly very grand building. and we felt very much impressed to see the tombs of the Kings and Queens and great men of England.
 Go To St PauI's. The whole of the next day was spent in sightseeing, we visited aii
