oellum days. showing, as he says, Where
! would like to go.'--the British Isles, old
Holland Switzerland, Northern Italy and
Southern Italy
Mr.. Elmendorf is in fortunate possession
OF rich picture records of these countries.

to present a realistic survey of them and
their people as they were before the out
break of hostlites.
