This is the fourth installment of the account of Mrs. James J, Dor sey's travels in Europe. In this let ter she describes Austria and many of the interesting scenes there. The letter in part. reads:
 July g. In the a. m., we went 70 Beivedere (former home of Crown Prince Ferdnand). He and his wife were killed in Serbia and that led to the war. We went through the rooms. Then to Hofburg and through ths roops. The people when they fled from these palaces took the most valuable things with them but we saw what they left. Then we walked through the City park. They surely have lot of wonderful parks. During our stroll we passed the home of the American ambassador There was swell Cadillac car at the entrance so we hung around and soon the ambassador and his wife appeared. He wore a silk hat, etc We ate dinner at a cafe, a very swell place right across from the city hall. (Rath House.) They generally have two menus. One for 1.S0 shilling which consists of soup, then soup meat and vegetables. and dessert Drinks are always extra. For the 2.10 we got soup, roast Of veal po- tztoes and lettuce, and good des- sert, It was about soc apiece with drinks and tips. The soup is always
 n Germ 1 we didn't have to tip: it was added to the bill. But here it is Japan ese puzzle to know whom to tip. One man brings the beer. another serves the meal, and a third collects tho money. Each one is tipped separately. During the dinner 1t started to rain and it poured for two hours. When it let up little we went home. In the evening we went to an opera, 'Ich Habe Mein Herz in Heidelberg Verloren.' It was very good.
 July 24. Sunday. We went to church at 1o3e. In the P. M. went +o a beer garden. There were several very large beer gardens in the same reighborhood and all were filled. And the streets were crowded with people out walking, so different than at home. Afterwards we walked through Schonbrun again. Have been there several times but still have not seen all. We saw the well called schonbrun, Roman Ruins, and Fountain.
 July 25. In the A. M. saw the Kaiser's crypts underneath . church. It took quite while for the guide to explain everything to us. We ate dinner in the Rath Haus Keller (down stairs in the city halD. From there we went to Gansehanfer. This Is a bathing place run by the city. It is immense, on the banks ot the Danube. Oh my but the bathing suits. They expose as much as they possibly dare to the sun and air. From there we went to the old Danube which is called New Brazil. Here the yacht clubs have their homes and some private homes.
 July 26. Tn the A. NJ. Tante's son took us to Jaxenbe-g-a former Kaiser's Place We went through the castle. In the P. M. Elizabeth went swimming with the family down. stairs. I watched them. I left my bathing suit in Mainz and so did Francis. Francis hired one but, Oh, I'd hate to call 1t suit.
 July .7. We left Vienna at 7:20 A. NJ. and went to Semmering-2 hours on the train-the second hour of which we went up mountain through 13 tunnels. We were 1000 meters above sea level. Tante's daughter spends her summers near there. She spent the day with us. We walked for three hours Home about p. m.
 July 2s. A. M home P. M. shop ping. They have wonderful stores here. Francis. Elizabeth, and I en- joy shopping. In the evening 1t rained so we stayed at home
 July 2a. A. M. shopping At last have a stock of cards so will spend the rest of the day writing and mending It Is raining just now. We don't have flies nor mosquitoes. No one has screens. But we have fleas. Once in while one gets me. Yester- day and today I've been bothered but can't find the little fellow.
 The people are very polite here. The troleys are always crowded some one always gets up and lets Esther sit down and generally some one gets up for Uncle Joseph. If any one comes in with a child or bundle some one will surely let them sit
 July 3l. After going to church at 9-spent the rest of the morning packing. The church we attended was crowded, hardly standing room. At home we have religious teaching to our schools but here they are do- ing away with it. At present they are allowed to teach religion two hours week. In most of the schools they are not allowed to say morn ing prayers. Anna Dehm teaches in d school near their home and in this school. as yet, they have not been forbidden to say morning prayers but she says she expects it any day. She teaches the same class for five years. Starts with them in the first
