WHILE they were here, they enjoyed all sorts Of

have their cards looked into.
There are several similar traps set here. Immi-
grants and other unlucky Ones who get stuck here,
are offered flock of lawyers to choose from, who
find nothing better to do than cheat these I'M
fortunates out Of their last pennies. The dining
room superintendent, surprised to see here again
and learning that have lost my case, tells Its
a shame to waste any money lawyers. They're
as thick as flies around here. All should do like that
Polish woman we have here. She showed lawyer
$4,000 and said: "They will be yours, if you win the

Religious organizations have their little
money-traps here. For instance they sell you a
two-cent envelope for three, at the time look

He remembers somebody having phoned him
about me. "But passport has lapsed"

visum a French visum not being required, because
a Czechoslovak passport is honored in France.
"And have you an Austrian visum?"
mo, don't have to go thru Austria. I'll go thru
Germany"
Germany won't permit deportee to pass thru,
unless he goes under escort.
I tell him that I intended to pay my way In
Europe, and travel like any other ordinary passen-
ger. didn't tell him, of course that I'll do this
only to be able to stay awhile in France and Ger

He has no objection, but adds "Give me this pass
port and I'll return it to you tomorrow with
French and Austrian visum"
I remind him again that there is no need of a
French visum a Czechoslovak passport.
''This rule doesn't apply to deportees," he says
"they must have a vsum."
This of course, doesn't sound like if could travel
thru Europe, my own expense, free passenger.

they must stand the charges for this consignment

JEAN ELIOT'S NEWS OF CAPITAL SOCIETY
SUMMER SOCIAL
REGISTER IS
AT HAND
Interesting Statistics Are
Concealed in New
Volume

The summer of 1927 has Of
ficially arrived despite the weather
records, for the Summer Social
Register has made its appearance
on time as usual.
The statistics are as in previous
years interesting, with varied
changes recorded not only of new
names registered but of marriages
and deaths. This season marriage
has not been so popular, 20 fewer
marriages listed than last year
The death list is smaller by 9S
with 13 more deaths of men than
of women.
Yachting interest grows apace--
So more yachts in commission this
year, including steamers, schooners,
and Sloops with 4S more steamers
than last year, sign OF the ma
tons prosperity, so 1t is said. The
names and description of the yachts
are inserted opposite their owners
with an illustration indicating their
class, and in the back of the Social
Register the yachts are arranged
in alphabetical form as a key to
the owners name. OF the 1,124
yachts listed, SOB are steamers, 39J
sloops. and 166 schooners.
Judging from the lists published
every day of prominent persons
sailing for Europe. one would i'm
agine there are few left in this
country for the summer watering
places, but strange to note there
is no appreciate difference in the
number of sojourners on this side
of the water. Last year. 1856 per.
sons were listed as abroad, this
year there are 1913. At the sea.
shore there are 5,811 as against
5.7S2 last year, while the number
of inland addresses total 7,4I9 as
against 1857 recorded in 1925
Long Island Sound has gained o.
points but the Jersey coast has
lost SO. Just why there are these
changes, who can tell. An ex

Ingham Palace is a place that she

near a lake and abounding with
flowers during Spring and Summer.
The Wilderness" receives no spe-

how they will. On a warm Summers
day there is no more delightful spot
in London. The trees hang over the
waters edge, making delightful re-
treat that might be in the depth of
the countryside, instead of the heart
of England's capital.
The Queen takes great interest in
the palace garden. She possesses a H.
brary on gardens and gardening, and
is very feminine in her passion for
beautiful flowers. Since she was girl
her majesty has counted gardening
among her chief hobbies.
