the expression ITO wet your

One Of the ideal vacations in Europe
is to be in the region of Montreux, in
Switzerland, in the Fall and early Win
ter, after the rush Of tourists. There
at the end Of the Lake Of Geneva the
rose gardens and geraniums will be
found still In bloom, and the red sage
will be as decorative as ever on the
lakeside. Yet by the little funicular
railroad, 35 minutes away, you can be
in the midst Of Winter sports. The line
to Caux is one of the steepest in
Switzerland, rising in a few moments
from LAS to $3.50 feet, but it will give
such scenery and such rewards at the
top that you will repeat it almost daily.
