"/HEN Amy Ferris went to Europe
AAf to study interior decoration she
w wanted to see the real thing.
She was tired of studying books and
looking at photographs and diagrams of
the insides of houses. She wanted to see
with her own eyes the rich and costly
interiors of the famous mansions and his
toric castles of the old country. She
wanted to know how the dukes and earls
and lords who owned these places actu-
ally lived in them. So she decided to
visit them
But how can you?" her friends asked
when she told them her intention You
don't know single titled person in
Europe-and you have no millionaire
friends in America to introduce you to
Them
Il am going to ask permission, she
said and that is just what she did. When
she arrived in London she looked in the
various blue books and red books that
tell all about the nobility and their es-
tates and found out what castles and
mansions she wanted to inspect. Her list
included every important earl and duke
and lord of the realm. Then she sat
down and wrote a polite letter to each
of these distinguished men and told them
that she was an American girl studying
interior decorating and would deem it a
courtesy if they would let her see their
houses. She posted the letters and waited.
With one single exception she received

desire. The young American girl started
out at once alone and unintroduced to
see the dukes and earis and lords of
England. In many cases these important
people received her as a guest, met her
with open arms and entertained her cord
tally. In other cases they instructed their
servants-butlers and housekeepers-to re-
ceive her and give her carte blanche to
their houses.
One of the great houses Miss Ferris
wanted most to see was old Worsley hall,
near Manchester. 1t belonged to the Earl
of Ellesmere, who had as part of his
hot sehold decoration the matchless art

water. The earl answered her request
promptly and on her arrival instructed
his head butler to treat her with every
consideration. The butler showed her
solemnly through the house from one
spacious hall to another, telling her the
story OF every tapestry and painting bet
ter than the earl could have done him.
self. Finally he showed her into the
Countess of Ellesmere's boudoir.
"Will you please to remain here as
long as you wish. ma'am he said.
"There may be several things that will
interest you. When you are through in
specting them if you will please press the
push button J will return. You will
perhaps feel freer to look about If you
are alone"
The butler withdrew and the young
American girl found herself sitting alone

IT is a thrilling episode in the life of
anyone who for the first time is ap-
u preaching Rome, especially if that
approach be effected from the south. For
q considerable while the train has been
passing over the dreary, level Campagna,
the deadly Campagna, and the traveller
feels as though he were traversing q car
peted floor of the sea In one aspect
this is just what he is doing, for the
vast area stretched out before him was
once covered by the sea and owes its ori-
gin to powerful volcanic agency. Though
now the home OF the fatal malaria, so
fatal that even the cattle flee to the
mountains in the spring of the year. the
Campagna was in the time of the repub-
lie densely populated plain. Such
population and a high degree of culture
alone can avert this deadly exhalation
of the soil and the Campagna will re-
main as it is today until these are re
stored.
Then the innumerable arches of the
venerable aqueduct burst into view and
companion the train until at last the
noble dome of St Peters is discerned
upon the distant horizon
My first acquaintance with the Eternal
City was fraught with keen disappoint-
ment. l perceived at a glance that new
Rome was fast crowding her elder sister
