Cost OF Trip
The third question in frequency
is: What does a trip to Europe cost?
Well. there are trips and trips. of

made to cost as low as 5000. Re-

by some OF the leading steamship
companies, M

The fourth question: Are the Eu-

OF course. ii is impossible to look

Colored tourists with whom
have exchanged experiences tell me
that It seems to them that those
with whom they come in contact
seem to be kinder to them just be-
cause they are colored, which is my
experience precisely.

Many other Instances could be cit

prejudice in Europe | should rather
say there was color attraction. Eng

color prejudice, and that ! must say

These, | have been told. by persons
who seem in a position to know, are
good. But in an overcrowded coun-
try or countries, there is again the
matter of keen competition. My adj
vice then would be that IL one
knows the language thoroughly, is
experienced in his particular line,
and is willing to sink considerable
part of his capital in getting on"
to the business ways of the country,

mind.
But have been noticing that the
only American firms who seem es-
tablished in the large European
cities are these firms with large
branches at home like Woolworth.
England and France
The two European countries with
the largest number Of Negroes are
England and France. In the former
the chief business of these colored
folk seems to be the sale of fake
medicine and charms; in France II
is music. In this latter case l am

The boy is older now, but he can be

and also knows John Coolidge, son Of
the president, says there is a certain
similarity of modest bearing and hon

which cannot fail to be l.Jticed by the
