In my palace they never vii

The banks of the Nile they arr
lonely
But with brambles overgrown,
Go call me q nurse of the Aliens
They know how to care for thell
own.
1t were sinful to leave here the
darling,
Dark are the borders with slime,
Snakes lurk within the deep GOV
ers,
I'll consider the little one mine.
His name shall be Moses, but mind
you,
No hint to my father of this
Go bring me the babe this in
slant,
iii claim him as mine with a kiss
In an oasis in the Sahara under
BedoIin tent lay three little no
mads, in the person Of Robert
Rivers and William Bee.
An African Jungle was penetrat'
ed by all the tourists where they dis.
covered the king of the cocoanut
isle who made them an address as
they entered. Banana salad was
served and pure African punch.
China.
This is the country in which we
are most especially interested, be-
cause there are missionaries there
alone we love with a personal affec-
ton. Here in the spacious home of
Mr.. and Mrs. E. J. Norris Chinese
babies and children and older mai
dens appeared in the most bewitch
ing costumes, and the sweetest
smiles. On the side of the pleasant
veranda beautiful girl served de-
lightful Chinese tea, and everything
was in a Chinese atmosphere. Even
the printed characters and many
real Chinese letters and curios were
in evidence. A Chinese idol made

much wondered at, but by no means
worsbipped. AS diversion rice was
eaten, or the attempt was made to
eat this Chinese article of diet with
chop sticks. A beautiful screen of

and IT, one did not know better, we
really would have believed we were
in China. There was a beautiful Sc
lection, the composition of our mis-
sionary John Lake South Carolina, u
given by Miss Florence Peak.
Among the pleasing guests in the
tourist party from all over the
world assembled there, were Mr..
and Mrs. Clarke of Georgia and
their two children. Mrs. Clarke was
Sophie Lake. sister Of our mission
ary and greatly beloved in Edge

other good things. The souvenirs
were hand painted Chinese beads,
Italy.
From China we sailed across the
Mediterranean sea to Italy where
under the green vineyards and blue
skies we found all the realities of
the delights of sunny Italy in the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. A. E. Pad
gett. In every corner we could Sc /,
the evidences of loyalty, in the
waving of Italian flags and the
abundant use Of the beautiful AID
emblematic colors. The program
was very appropriate and the music
beautiful. Mrs. Shannonhouse' So
10 Miserere from Verdi was said
by some of the tourists to be the
most charming feature of the tour.
But who could expect anything else
of musical Italy, that home of beau
ty and art in it's every nook and
corner.
The scene was made more attract
i've by the Italian girls arranged in
their becoming costumes of lace and
colors. Little Lillian Pattison and
James Bacon Sharpton sat on a
throne in the front, ball holding in
her hand a basket Of tempting Ital-
ian fruit.
Mr.. Mitchell Reynolds was a
handsome Italian and helped to re-
ceive the guests, and the Italian
girls were Misses Elizabeth Rains
