journeyed through parts of America,
saw some of the Indian villages with
real Indians and war dance; stopped
long enough in France to buy some
wonderfully made dolls, dressed in dup
licate of the pretty maldens who offer
ed them for sale; spent some time look
ing at the beautiful hand embroideries
and brass ware in Russia. and listened
to the singing of the Spanish trouba-
doris.
The Indian tepees were made of
strong palm leaves and were lined with
the bright colored Navajo blankets and
here, to the beating of tomtoms, an
Indian chief did a war dance and that
historical Indian maiden. PocahOntas
sang the same sweet songs that won
Capt. John Smith.

for which the French are noted was on
sale at a pretty shop which must have
been transplauted bodily from France
and here the real live French dolls
in dresses no less wonderfully made
than their miniature doubles sold dolls
and the delicate and tOothsome pastries
of their country.

shop with the brasses of Russia and
