My Tear Cncle.--Our trip proves
more interesting each day, and will
be sorry when 1t is over. However

months in Berlin. and perhaps a
month or two In Vienna, and to take
a trip to Egypt and the Holy Land

with, the same conductor as we have
now, and IL nothing prevents, we will
reach New York about May Sth.
We found Hamburg a beautiful city.
+ was so surprised too, as l kaf
never heard much or its beauty The
two lakes. the inner and the Outer
Alster. add so much, and The resi-
dences and flowers are magnificent.
