, The traveller to other lands has
! been an object of interest from the
days of Marco Polo to the present, in
Guiding Washington Irving and Ed
Howe. Every summer people go over
by the boat load, but many of them
come back remembering Paris as the
place where they bought pair of
gloves, and London as the town where
| it rained, while others merely thresh
! over old straw A Topeka woman who
has just returned from abroad, and
who really saw about everything that
lay in the scope of her journey, is Mrs.
A. B. Jetmore. She was accompanied
by her son, Mr.. DeForrest Jetmore of
New York, and although Mrs. Jetmore
Is quite an elderly woman-a great
grandmother, in fact, there was no
place of historic or scenic interest
that she did not see. Youth and age
were at one with each other, and they
were willing to dwell for the enchant-
ed moment in any vantage of the
past that gave them shelter.
They made the trip over on the
of the Titanic victims, and one of the
heroes of that disaster, the captain of
the Carpathia, made his last voyage |
on this trip. In London Mrs. Jetmore |
and her son met "OId Bunny" known |
to all patrons of the motion picture |
shows. He had an engagement at a |
London theater and he and the Jet |
mOreS lived at the same hotel. Mr.. |
Jetmore had known him in New York. |
They met him again in Ireland when
they went to see the Barney stone,
where the actor was photographed in
all attitudes involved in the Osculatory
feat which travellers to the famous
stone usually try to accomplish. In
Vienna they visited the glass making
esta blishment, and watched the work
of the lace makers in Venice and
Brussels.

had not heard of the foreign custom
of using light feather beds for cover

make his bed over every night because
the tupid maid always forgot and left
the feather mattress outside, and then
he nearly froze for lack of quilts ;
