Lausanne, Switzerland, Aug. 13.-On
reaching La Cava a beautiful city in
the far south of Italy, the Temple
party for the first time, turned their
faces toward home and free America.
Heretofore, we have been continual
| ly going farther and farther away un-
/ til 10000 miles marked the limit.
So that we are beginning to close our
10000 mile tour, which has been one
of great education and benefit and
the party are all elated over the fact
that we have seen most all of Europe.
From La Cava we drove to Amalfi
and then to Sorrento where we stop
ped at the Hotel Londres. This city
is surrounded with orange and lemon
groves and other fruits, besides hun
dreds of olive groves. Here we had
a delightful stay and to add zest to
all the past, the Temple party engaged
the Grande Italian concert company to
come to the hotel and play for them
the famous Tarantella, the Italian
dance and for two hours the party
was greatly delighted with this ma.
tional relic. 1t is only by paying a
snug sum of money that this dance
is ever given for parties, but the Tenn
pie party desire to see all that is
possible on this European tour. | am
plad to say that they are a lively
crowd and surely are enjoying life in
these foreign lands. Then each sue
cessive day adds a new link to our
chain, and losses of various kinds
continue as before. See us alight from
suit cases, come out, each person with
six handbags, four dozen umbrellas,
stones, marble relics, that mus be car
ried in the hands, enough hats for two
millinery stores and bird cages. Thus
we leave our coach and the natives
gathered around us to see what has
come to their town, but it only takes
them three-tenths of second to see
that we are Americans and then off
! they go to bring their wares, and soon
the whole city comes out to meet us
with welcome that only Theodore
Roosevelt knows about. Each ped
dler has different article and his of
course is the best and cheapest, and
they say, very cheap, buy Of me, buy
OF me-"
From Sorrento we took ship on
the famous voyage to the Island of
Capri and went in the Blue Grotto in
little canoes in which we had to lie

Wonderful is the scenery! The
water is a brilliant blue color and if
you should drop a stick in the water
it looks like a silver bar. After a
pleasant time here where the Emper.
or Tiberius had his winter palace
when the Christ was born, we went
to Naples. From this beautiful is.
land dotted with orange groves we
took ship over to Naples, Italy
where ladies', because ten-elevenths OF
my party are ladies, finished buying
canoes, hat pins, jewelrv and novel
ties and then we mounted a fast Ital
ian express train and sped north like
a hurricane. We stopped in Rome
the capital just long enough to get
lunch and then we continued on to
Pisa, making 500 miles in about twelve
hours.
Pisa is noted for the wonderful lean
ing tower, which has been standing
and leaning for 600 years. The noted
Campo SantO is here in which are
fifty-seven ship loads of dirt which
