!, Miss Rosamond visited almost CIV
cry European country. and touches
England and Canada.
OF all the scenes which Mis-,
Rosamond saw, she was most i'm
, pressed with the good roads. land.
sespe gardening and fine cattle.
Miss Rosamond brought home will
her many souvenirs Of her trip. II
Naples, which is noted for its cards
and canoes, Miss Rosamond visited,
and she brought some of these nov
elites home with her.
The hospitality accorded an
American in every section Of Europe
is certainly amazing" said Miss
Rosamond in conversation with a
Ledger reporter. People seem so
sociabIe and the hotel men ars so
polite and attentive to the wants of
a traveller. The hotels are quaint;
there are numerous eating places,
and one tramping through Europe is
not liable to starvation.
THE policemen in Europe, too, are
men of high morals and are ever on
the alert to aid a tourist"
Miss Rosamond visited Heidelberg
the German University. The school
has a prison where the unruly boys
of the school are kept. "The walls
of this prison." said Miss Rosa
mond, ARE covered with sketches,
verse and other markings placed by
the boys who have been sent there.
A boy is sentenced for five days"
Miss Rosamond attended Shakes
peare's play, midsummer Nights
Dream" at shakespeare's native
cit Stratford-on-Avon. She also
visited the ruins of the once pietur-
esQue Kenilworth Castle. She also
visited Shakespeare's tomb.
Another spot of interest was
Stoke Poges Church The first object
OF all, however. to which visitors are
drawn Is not the Church, but out
side, The Tomb Of Thomas Gray
the poet. AS Shakespeare is the
tutetary genus Of Standardization,
so Stoke Poges is inseparably con-
nected with the memory of Gray
and the "Elegy in a Country Church
Yard perhaps the best-known poem
in the English language. His last
resting place is Immediately under
the east window Of the Hastings
Chapel.
Miss Rosamond brought home with
her a sprig Of the yew tree,
THE Amalfi Drive, which is 40
miles long, was one of the most
beautiful trips hat l experienced.
said Miss Rosamond. This drive is
from Naples to Amalfi. Amalfi is
a noted place of Longfellow's time.
Volendam, another city or Miss
Rosamond's itinerary, is situated in
the sea. 1t is a place of about 1000
inhabitants and is the home of the
fisherman. Byrne, Switzerland,
where is located the quaint old
clock of which much has been writ
ten, was touched by Miss Rosamond
and her party. Holland is the home
of fine Jersey cattle.
Miss Rosamond's visit TO London
was near tho end of her tour. A
familiar place to Americans, is
Pete Robinson and Selfridge's bus
ness house. Selfridge was former
ly with Marshall Fields establish
ment, and were to London to enter
a similar business.
Miss Rosamond went abroad with
the party organized by DIR. Kerr, and
she says the trip was delightful and
the itinerary mapped out by DR..
Kerr could not have been better
selected.
The Louvre Museum, Windsor Cas-
tie, Melrose Abbey and Chester
were other noted points OF interest.
In speaking of The Gorge Of the
Aare neal Meiringen Miss Rosamond
says that though rather hazardous
and exciting travelling, it is one
point that no traveller should miss.
The path is very narrow and most
of the time one is walking on
suspension path. Ratings are fast
oned to the mountain side, which in
sures the safety of the tourist.
Miss Rosamond experienced only
two very u~nenjoyable incidents of
her trip. One of these happened one
Coy while she and her party were
dnenched. The other incident, that
OF Icing without funds, was the most
serious. This, however, did not both
