Of travel riches overseas today, it may truly be said that there is almost a genuine embarrassment.
 Granted the supreme desire, the opportunity fulfilled of getting away from desk or workshop for even a brief four or five or six weeks, how rests the program for the journey of 5000 miles across the Atlantic, the journeyings required within Europe and the voyage back to the United States? What is it all to cost? For the voyage in each directiona For railroad or motor car hauls? For hotels and restaurants7 For all the rest of itf
 Let us take up these things in the sequence in which they belong, What is the first actual stepa
 Getting Yo~r Passport.
 Your passport. In the days before the coming of the Great War it in volved no more official difficulty to go to London or Berlin or Paris or Madrid than to go to the Grand Canyon or the Yellowstone. Ton boarded ship at New York or Bos- ton or Philadelphia or Montreal, as you would board a train and you went. Nothing more than that.
 Today is different. As a direct consequence of the war an enormous passport system has been upbuiIded In every nation, but happily now it is oelng stripped of its complications. Holland, Belgium and Switzerland nave abolished visas upon passports Issued by the United States of America to American citizeng. They are quite willing to take cur gov- ernment's word for it, flat it would not issue a passport to a man or woman not fit to carry such a docu- ment overseas.
 Yet, inc chief blame for present passport regulations in other coun- tries rests on Washington. It was our own Uncle Sam who first began charging his own people BIO each for passports, and also raised the charge for his visa on those belonging to the citizens Of other lands to the same figure, This quickly and logi- caIly provoked our cousins overseas to reprisals. It costs ten dollars each for visas to the average European nation today.
 Americans may reduce the charge, however, by securing a visa only to the first country to which they are bound, and obtaining their remaining visas as they go along, paying for them in the money of the country where the visa is obtained. Thus, the fec for @ German visa in New York is SI0- In Brussels, where you pay in Belgian francs, at favorable rate of exchange, it costs you only about S6. And so on.
 To obtain your passport you can obtain from your steamship agent the name of the nearest Federal officer authorized to receive applications for passports; or your county clerk will make the application for you. All passports are issued by the State Department at Washington. With your application you must file two photographs of yourself, made in size which will be given you. These cost less than a dollar
 In few days you receive an frn- posing green-bound document through the registered mail For perhaps the first time in your life you know off,

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

GD EYOND the Alps lies Italy" ID Across the deep blue of tho Atlantic lies not only Italy, but au the rest of fascinating Europe, in which we find added to the dimly romantic lore G past centuries the tragic contribution of the present new one. For the moment in fact. the new has all but over-snadowed the old. Folks pass Waterloo to gaze awestruck upon Namur, upon Itege and upon Louvain. They point this way and they point that; these were the forts that little Belgium had deemed weIl-nigh impregnable; this was the road down which the grey Ger man columns marched in that fateful August of 1914. These cru1nbling stones were once the well ordered University of Louvain. ..
 Yet, let no man or woman who ponders this question of a. trip to Europe in his mind or hers, fancy that all the worthwhile sightseeing astated areas. As a matter of fact, most of 1t is well outside of them The old Europe is recovering it's bal ance-in some corners with an astounding rapidity. Paris Is all but entirely back to its pre-war briskncss and coquetry; her boulevards and parks thronged as they never before have been thronged. In London they are again painting the shops and the great houses a creamy white-as if the sedate British metropolis had never even dreamed of soft coal. Along the Riviera the gay folk play as of yore. Biarritz, St. Moritz, Cannes, Nice, Dieppe, Deuville, Ostend-an thronged. The Alps beckon with a beauty never dimmed. Italy is as colorful and beguiiing as of yore. Central Europe calls to Americans of kindred blood, and offers amazing values through the exchange value of the dollar, adding the cherns, as in other days, of good music, art and rare wines.
 The old fascination of Europe brushes elbows with the new-and yet holds it's own. To the American traveller an opportunity, always rich in it's dramatic appeal, has been doubled. To much has been added much.
