England's Riviera.

TORQUAY, England, February g.
Rivieras are English as well as
French and Italian, as all know who
visit the sunny shores of Devon on
the English Channel ct this time Of
year.
So often do Englishmen as well as
Americans think Of England as O
damp. cloudy land in Wintet that it
comes as surprise to learn that trop-
ical plants flourish on this coast all
year. In Midwinter one can see thriv-
ing side by side New Zealand fiax
and Chinese palms, as well as mag
nolias, red 'camillias, eucalyptus trees,
yuccas and aloes.
The English Riviera may be said
to include the coast towns Of Ex-
mouth, Dawlish, Teignmouth, Paign-
ton, Brixham, Dartmouth, Totnes and
Torquay. It Is the land which gave
birth to the Elizabethan seadogs.

Gilbert, Davis, Hawkins, and it was

Bermuda Hospitable.
HAMILTON, Bermuda. February

HAMILTON, Bermuda February D.
During the coming four months
Bermuda, that 24-mile long and at
no point more than 2-mile wide coral
island just 666 miles southeast of New
York, is expected to welcome to its
hotels. coral beaches, superb golf
greens and white stone roadways
more American visitors than ever be-
fore in Bermuda's resort history.
But the 10000 Bermudians are
ready for their American guests-the
islanders refuse to call them tourists. :"

Workers the same kind of rhythm

The pink stretches of beach are in
Viting in the clear golden sunshine.
Bicycle liveries have their wares all
polished up and ready for hire by
day or week. Sailboats, speedboats
and row boats are for rent, either
with or without licensed boatman.
The informal little trains, usually
o matter of one or two cars, are now
carrying four, five and even more
coaches as they hustle down Front
street to the Queen Street Terminal.
Shops are inviting with the smartest
new stock of English sports clothes.
A full schedule of sports events Is in
progress.
Bermuda Is one of the few places in
this contradictory world where the
tourist Is sought after and then not
despised after he gets there. Directly
or indirectly nearly everybody on the
little island is concerned with the
tourist trade.
The first evidence which visitors
have of Bermuda hospitality will be
right at the pier when the big liner
docks in Hamilton harbor. All the
Bermudians who can possibly do so

certain points across the Mediter-
ranean. Many European railroads also
have reduced rates, but usually for
groups rather than individual couples.
Now, the Algerian and Tunisian rail-
ways have cut fares for honeymooners
travelling between Algiers and Char
dimaou. On this line, side trips to
FL Guerrah and Biskra are excluded.
At the latter place is Landon Garden,
the locale Of Hichens' Garden of
Allah.
EUROPE'S shipping interests have
begun a concentrated effort to
induce Europeans to visit the United
States, according to J. r. Wierdsma,
president of the Holland American
Line.
I'm the past few years." Wierdsma
said, there has been q noticeable in
crease in the number Of European
tourists visiting the United States,
but until now very little has been
done to promote this important source
OF passenger business. For the most
part, shipping lines have been con-
tent to appeal chiefly to the American
traveller, while the development Of
foreign tourist travel to the United
states has been virtually neglected.
But European shipping interests are
now making energetic efforts to slim
ulate this westbound travel, and we
are hopeful of active cooperation
from this side Of the Atlantic, at
tracing the European tourist trade
to the United States"
COMMENTING on recent State De-
partment figures showing middle
income class Americans obtained more
than 80 per cent of the passports
granted for travel in foreign lands,
Edwin Robert Petre, director of the
Institute of Foreign Travel, New
York, says:
"A hundred years ago only the
wealthy could travel, but travel now
belongs to the great middle classes.
In q few decades I suppose that the
man who has not seen Europe will be
such rarity that newspapers will
send out Interviews to get his story.
They'll want to know whether he has
heard of Shakespeare or ridden in a
norseless carriage"
Statistics reveal individuals of
wealth and leisure applied for about
20 per cent Of the passports. The big
majority Of travellers were statesmen,
teachers, clerks, secretaries, farmers
and others in similar income groups.

Fare of $50
FOrAtlantic
Trip Is Seen
Cheaper Travel to
Europe Due in
1888.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, February ga flourish
ing new era of cheap ocean travel
between the United States and Europe,
with far better accommodations at
the same or lower prices. and with
the possibility even of a $50 fare,
Is being viSioned by shipping experts.
BY 1888. 1t is predicted, Americans,
who do IS per cent of the Atlantic
travelling, will be able to parade up
gangplanks with tickets costing much
less than at present.
More spirited competition between
shipping lines will be responsible in
the first instance.
Important also Is the announce
ment that plans are going forward
for the construction of ocean liners
which, designed to a new efficiency,
would charge no more than $50 for
transportation across the Atlantic.
In the matter of direct competition
there is the nearly completed 10000
ton Queen Mary, constructed to carry
760 tourist class passengers with en-
tirely new standards of comfort and
luxury. Talk of a rate" war in At
lantic passenger shipping, because of
the entering of the Queen Mary as
a cabin class ship. permitting lower
fares to be quoted has already become
open. In defense of this classification
the Cunard White Star Line has
given notice of withdrawal from the
Atlantic Shipping Conference.
A British shipping group, headed
by Maj. Frank Bustard, former traffic
manager of the White Star Line, has
announced that it intends to proceed
with plans for the building of two
30,000-ton liners, modern in every de-
tail, which will introduce cheap fare
In Atlantic travel.
These new ships, it was stated,
would provide such startling innova-
tions as payment for meals as served,
permitting the traveller to spend as
much or as little for food as desired.
An inclusive charge would cover tips.
Negotiations toward such project
fell through a year ago, when plans
to purchase three ships owned in
America were blocked by a govern
ment order prohibiting the transfer
Of funds abroad.
The financial problems involved have
now been solved. it is reported, while
leaders in the enterprise indicate that
they anticipate no difficulties with
the British government.
The plan is entirely practicable" ,"
states a member of the British group,
although much secrecy is being at
tached to details of the ships design.
st simply means taking full ad-
vantage of methods developed by
American hotels, cafeterias ard rail-
way services in caring for the public.
1T means utilization to a greater
degree of the principles of manage
ment which have brought success to
chain stores and restaurants.
The basic theory is that most
people nowadays want most of all
to get across the Atlantic. They want
comfort, not extreme luxury. The
ships contemplated would have two
classes of travel, both entirely modern
and comfortable"

program Of Winter sports gets under
way and the PROVINCES glittering ex-
panses of snow and ice are splashed
with the bright-colored costumes OF
feminine enthusiasts.
Bringing a gay carnival note into
an atmosphere already suggestive OF
Northern Mardi GraS, the costumes
Of feminine ski jumpers, skaters and
bobsled devotees already are estab-
fishing the 1896 styles for Winter
sports.
Time was when the girls and ma
irons who took part in the Winter
activities, once considered the province
of their fathers and brothers, bundled
themselves into outfits designed only
for warmth. Those days, however, are
gone forever, and now the mothers,
wives and daughters, who form at least
so per cent Of the active Winter
sports contingent, give as close atten-
ton to ski and skating wardrobes as
to party ensembles.
Careful tailoring of trousers and
jackets to follow, rather than obscure,
the lines of the figure Is the outstand-
ing detail of the 1896 costume. The
trousers are of two types, either the
plus fours patterned after dads golf
suit or the ankle-length variety, the
latter being more generally worn. The
, divided skirt for skiers is new this
season, but so far gives little evidence
of replacing trousers in popularity.
lDARK-C RED trousers are
smarter this year, favored shades
being gray, cinnamon brown, spruce
green, navy blue or black. Flannel,
gabaYdine and waterproof ski cloth are
most widely used, with natural whip
cord occasionally seen.
Shirts, sweaters and jackets provide
the vivid notes of contrast that make
the snow-blanketed runs and slides
look as If they were sprinkled with
confetti. Bright yellow. geranium red
Tyrolean scarlet, Irish green and q
bright blue suggestive Of the skies that
arch the sparkling expanses Of snow
are the favorite hues. White, accented
with bright scarfs, caps and mittens
is also well liked.
COATS that top the trousers and
cover the sweaters and shirts run
| the gamut, from trim affairs copied
from a bellboy's uniform to that old
favorite, the lumber jacket. New this
season is hooded jacket, reaching
about halfway to the knees, with clos
ing zippered against the wind. Norfolk
| jackets, made like a mans, give their
wearers trinity tailored appearance
while others look to the Tyrol for in
spiration and are cut like capes. The
short fur coat, made Of scraps OF
leopard, opossum or beaver skin, Is
popular to slip on when the ski jumper
Is not in action.
And when dusk comes and the sKiers
and skaters gather around blazing log
fires. outfits remain. for the most part,
in the sports tradition. Flannel slacks
or corduroy skirts topped with bright
colored sweaters; Tyrolean skirts with
gay little blouses or pajama suits In
unbelievably vivid hues seem to be the
order of the tea hour.

celebrating their silver and golden
wedding anniversaries.
The novelty was initiated by the
Canadian National Steamships in 1881
to encourage wedding trips to Ber-
muda, the West Indies and British
Guiana. Honeymooners were per-
mitted to pay 10 per cent less than
liner fares charged the ordinary hus-
band and wife. Italy followed Cana
dian's lead, applying 70 per cent cut
to rail fares within Italy.
The Canadian Steamships two years

railroads again has followed suit, its
reduction remaining at 10 per cent.
OF COURSE, certain conditions are

quirement that Rome be visited and In
all cases some documentary proof must
be submitted, that takers may be elimi-
mated.

must be presented in buying the rail
tickets. These tickets must be pur-
chased at an Office of the italian State
Railways (there is one in New York;
or at any Italian point Of entry.
In order to benefit from the reduc-
ton, tickets must be bought within 80
days of the wedding ceremony or an
niversary. They may be stamped
weeks or months ahead. They expire
80 days from the stamped date.

NEIGHBOR QUIzzED
IN ATTACK ON GIRL
Child, 13, Tells Officers She Was
Abducted After Leaving
Theater.

Bv the Associated Press.
NORTH EAST, Md. August g.
Ralph Dean was questioned by police
in connection with an attack on 13-
year-old girl which left the child with
a severe cash in her scalp.
Dean lives two doors from the girl,
Sara Jane Alexander. Deputy Sheriff
Lewis Seth said Dean was questioned
after police had talked to the girl in a
hospital.
Seth said the girl told officers that
man grabbed her as she was walking
to her home after attending a movie
last night. She said her assailant put
her in an automobile and drove to the
outskirts Of the town, where he struck
her number of times with a piece of
iron pipe. Eight stitches were taken to
close the wound in her scalp.
Sara Jane is the daughter of Jesse
Alexander, laborer. She left the
movie shortly after 10 o'clock last
night and started to walk to her home,
which usually takes about minutes.
Half an hour later she staggered into
her home with her scalp bleeding. She
was dazed and could not be questioned
closely at that time.
Meanwhile a group of men, who
heard the story, went to the spot
where, she said. she had been attacked.
There they found signs of a scuf1e and
blood on leaves of nearby bushes.
Dean was taken to the Elkton Jail
after being questioned, but no formal
charge was placed against him. Sher-
if Eugene Racine of Elkton came
here to investigate the case in con-
junction with Magistrate George G.
Rawson.
