BEAUTIFUL BRITAIN.

Whoever has read "Pickwick Papers"

and his care-free friends in their famous

Everybody who expects to go
abroad this summer will want to
take in any festival or exposition
worth while. Usually there is
some such feature of European
travel to charm the presence and
dollars of the American travelling
public.
The season OF 1911 will be many
times favored, since there is
scheduled a tourists exhibition at
Berlin, a hygienic exposition at
Dresden and an international ex-
hibition of industries at Turin.
They all sound rather somber,
but each will have many frivolous
sides as well.
At Dresden some of the best
known athletes of Europe will
compete for championships of
their respective games or sports.
While students of the human well
fare are enthusiastic over the
more technical displays, the null
titude can find daily enjoyment at
the vast gymnasium or open-air
tracks.
Berlin is going to have, from
April until late in June, most
unique entertainment, meant pri-
marily for confirmed globe trot-
tiers, although the English "trip
per" and American who has cross
ed 'the pond" for the first time
will be equally interested.
There are to be collective ex-
hibits OF all tourist traffic associa-
tons, exhibits from seashore re-
sorts and spas, historical tourists
and travelling literature sections
and Photographic and cinemato-
graph representations of all coun-
tries, three different halls being
used for the latter display, from
4 to g. o'clock each afternoon.
His grace. Adolph Friedrich,
the Duke of Mecklenburg, will
preside at this unusual festival of
ideas.
For those fully experienced in
travelling about the world this
tourist exhibition will seem like
scrapbook containing delight
full souvenirs of past trips. To
the novice and traveller eager to
get much information with little
expense it will be like an open al
bum containing all kinds of reve-
lations.
From April to October Turin
and Rome will both commence
rate the fftieth anniversary of the
kingdom of Italy, proclaimed in
1861, by expositions.

BADEN BADEN AND
THE BLACK FOREST

1.-THE Journey from Heidelberg to Cos
resembles a drive through magnificent
natural park. The charm is greatest in
and around Baden Baden. So 1t is not
surprising that travellers from all coun-
tries Of the world have chosen 1t as their
rendezvous"
Thus wrote more than thirty years ago
q German author, much read In his time.
Max Ring. Since that time Baden Baden
has of course been much enlarged and
beautifed. The magnificent bathing es-
adjustments, one might almost say pal
aces. the Friedrichs bath and the Angus
ia bath, have been built. They are prob
ably the finest of their kind and are fit
ted with every hygienic improvement and
comfort. There have been also many
additions made to the already existing
first-class hotels, sanitariums and PEN
s!onS.

the Cos from cold winds by a natural
wall formed by the high mountains Of

appreciated by the Romans, Baden Ba-
den, the old 'Aurelia Aquensis." was in
ancient times a watering placed famed
above all others. For many decades up
to the present time crowned heads, dipio-
mats and celebrated artists have chosen
Baden Baden as their summer residence.
Among these were Emperor William 1
and the Empress Augusta. Queen Vic
toria, the late King Edward VII and
Queen Alexandra, the Emperor Alexander
III of Russia and Prince Bismarck, Franz
Liszt. Brahms and others.
The celebrated Lichtenthaler Alice, with
its gigantic trees, has become a natural
boulevard where the fashionable folk OF
German, French, American and English
society are accustomed to meet.
Roads leading for miles through beau
tiful forests have been made and new

life. The town officials and the cure
