Miss Redding Gives Wonderful Ac.
count Of Passion Play Which She
Attended At Oberammergau.
Oberammergau, Sept. 25, 1872;

Oberammergau, Sept. %, 1922
Yes, know it has been six days
since I wrote you last; and oh, what
busy days! l should like to start in
right now and tell you about Oberam-
mergau, but in that case would nev-
er get back to the trip from Amster-
dam here. So l am going to start back
where l left off last time.
We sent cable to you that we
were leaving for Oberammergau last
Wednesday which I hope went thru
o. X. We sent it to Mr.. Hatch so ne
will wire it to you. We may send one
to you from Italy so you will feel at
ease about our trip thru Germany,
and then you can wire Mr. Hatch.
After that we spent an hour at a
very wonderful modern gallery, then
at noon went to take the train for
Koln (Cologne). After we were on
our way short while the conductor
discovered that we had been put on
the wrong train to Cologne-one that
crossed the border of Germany at a
different place than our tickets read.
They were nice to us, tho, and made
out a schedule of trains to take to
get back to our own route. Well, we
had to make about four changes of
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1922-11-09

trains, and you can just imagine us
piling off every few minutes to take
new train, with all our baggage.
Two suit cases, two travelling bags,
umbrella, coat and scarf! We had
to walk down long platforms every
where - especially to the customs
house on the frontier But eventually
at $3.50 p. m. we got to Cologne. We
stayed at lovely hotel-that is, the
rooms were very nice The MonopoIe
Metropole. But we weren't there
long for we had to get up at $50 the
next morning to get the steamer. We
TAXED over thereby the way, taxies
are only about fifteen cents-the dis
tances we have been going. How's
that? And tips in Germany seem
small to us, for 5O-mark tip is only
about four cents, and that is consid-
cred good tip. We only give the
maid and head porter each hundred
marks, usually. And meals! One
can get steak or fried chicken (1.2)
dinner for about twenty-five cents in
our money. 1t seems a shame-I al
most hate to pay it sometimes. There
is 454o lodging tax on all rooms,
tho, which makes them Tin hotels) to-
tai about 2800 marks for the two Of
us together (about s25o)
We left on the steamer at $3.50 a.
m. and arrived at Mainz (Mayence)
about $3.50 p. M, with a wonderful
bright sunny day for the trip. They
told us it had rained nearly every day
for three or four weeks, so we were
fortunate.
The boat was quite long. Walters
served things to eat and drink (most-
ly the latter) at tables on deck, or
one could get meals in a nice dining
room downstairs with all solid glass
all around so we could see out. We
went down at noon and thot we would
have what it is famous for Tor was
namely salmon. Well, steak was
about 120 marks (10c), SO we didn't
think salmon would be SO much-we
can't read the German menu very
well-but we found it to be 1900
marks each-3000 for two. OF course
that sounds worse than it is, for we
often have to pay that in America
(that was about $3.50 for the two of
us.) The rest of the meal-potatoes,
rolls and butter, cucumbers, salad and
then ice cream, altogether cost US the
whole sum Of 40c. But we don't care,
we had salmon anyhow-but what if
the mark were at par! (The salmon
really wasn't very good, after all.)

The island Of Margarita, OF the
coast of Venezuela, is one Of the most
celebrated centers Of pearl fishery.
The Spaniards. in the days Of Colum-
bus, found the natives Of Margarita
and the neighboring mainland decked
out with pearls, and the pearl-produc'
ing oysters Of that locality have never
since failed in their productiveness.
Metal scoops are dragged over the
oyster beds, and the interest Of the
search eliminates when tho shells
thus secured are opened. A black
pearl Is q rarity commanding q high

luster, are also very valuable. A
