He says being toted around in Pullman ears and luxurious steam sh'ps is not travel nor in going from one hotel to another. that for real travel you can buy no ticket and as to food and shelter must shift for your self Now that sort of thing I do not call travel at all It Is adventure pure and simple Nor do ! consider it a crime that in seeking and seeing new lards ard climates you annex to ycuI- self an the physical comforts you can afford 70 pay for Travel Is hard erou~A at thlt; you are CT your legiti- mate base flce Co face with the unfa- miiiar. missing tho cai-a and cons cn- fences of home. and the best that you can buy is none too Eood-t piece t0 eCononize is not in such exceptional circumstances. but in your own legal domicile. where food and clothes and taxes go on nights and days and Sun days, and economy countst Indeed I'm afra. .d John is a sad bluncr. for la Is alwayE seornlng people particularly women. who do not cook their own food and kin their own game. set he has never pulled a trigger in hls life. and I have yet to eat Che wonderfui dishes he has leVor made. True he has commanded two or three arctic expeditions in small ice fighters with no laundry except a string to pgn your shirts through the sea. l understand he asos has eaten questionable meat and arv,1k coffee made with sea wa ater. And an this has left him with a naughty soul

Always I have icnged to sec South America. but the annoyanccs oi such a trip both on sea and land the long jumps from port to port In rather unreliable vessels. the doubtful accom- modatious, troublesome money, all the disabilities Of a continent great and magnificent. full of natural resources sut crude-t things like these have daunted me. Yet always I was haunt ed by the harbor of Rio. by the won- ders of the strait of Magellan. by the majesty of the Andes, by the very shape of South America. as graceful as the figure of a beautiful woman. its every line telling a tale of sensuous charra-these I am now to see in an ideal way through the most comforta- hlesdoating home I hRFs ever known ~--- t.. n.cf -.s fct- O Enow man k.--. hu $ as clean. as odoriess.
