where you are going in Europe and
what you want to see, then you won't
waste money by unorganised travel.
Books, friends and your transit agency
will help you work out an itinerary,
50 that you can always have the room
you want waiting for you at the end
Of each days trip.
Second, don't be ashamed to use q
rubber neck" wagon to see big cities
for the first time. You can 60 back
by street car or walk to see places You
want to visit more thoroughly.
Third, don't "splurge," but choose
hotels. meals and entertainment in
the class that you would choose ut
home. They will all be cheaper. II
you want to 60 "high-hat" and pre-
tend YOU are rich, well all we can say
Is. Europe can be the most expensive
place on earth for such people.
Fourth, group prices are often lower
than prices for individuals travelling
alone. This is true on trains for large
parties and, Of course. is always true
for trips in an automobile you hire
and drive yourself. 1t is often true in
hotels Conducted tours are we'll
worth trying on your first trip to
Europe. you'll save money every day.
CONSIDERABLE money can be
saved In many countries by taking
advantage OF the reduced rail rates
for visitors This summer Hungary
gives so per cent reduction, Czecho-
slovakia, Italy and Poland. 80 per
cent; Germany, 80 per cent: France
from 20 per cent to 40 per cent, and
switzerland, SIS per cent These low
rate concessions are usually for the
summer months. and usually depend
on visitors staying in the country for
several days.
The sixth rule which the Ropes
suggest Is this: II you are going to
be in any place more than . week
choose . pension instead of q hotel.
Seventh. take advantage of the
travel currency which some countries
set aside for tourists. It is special
money which can be used only by
foreign visitors and 1t Is cheaper In
exchange for dollars.
Next. don't insist on ordering Amer
icsn foods at your meals, for imported
foods always cost more Enjoy your
self and get thrill out of new dishes
and q cuisine that was famous before
Columbus came to America.
Last. take 1t easy Don't rush
around. Even though Europe is small
and can be skinned over in one sum-
ner, skimming is expensive and buys
no cream. Better to choose one coun-
try. certainly no more than three near
each other, and money will leave your
pocketbook slowly and leave you cash
to bring home.

BY EDWIN ROBERT PETRE.


n YEW YORK, April 23.-What is
nj the cheapest way to have q
Y holiday in Europe this sum-
= a mer? That Is the question
which thousands are asking these
days. The question has nothing to do
with passage money because the ques-
ton Of fare can be answered by any
one 0 the thousands Of steamship
agencies scattered about the United
States and Canada. There is no mys-
tery about the price Of berth, the
mystery seems to cover the cost of
good time after we land in Europe.
We know that rich people go to
Europe every year, but we know that
the Joneses went last year and they
haven't 30 much as we have. How did
they do it? Just to help answer the
question We took the trouble to ask
the Joneses how they did it. Their
reply was brief and not very enlight-
ening. They said, "Oh, 1t was quite
easy. You just have to know the
ropes"
We had heard of this Ropes family
before. There seems to be Mr.. and
Mrs Ropes and lot Of little Ropes,
and 1t is quite amazing how they do it,
for they 60 to Europe every year and
every one who has ever told us about
them says they are just average folk
and not rich at all.
When We get in jam we go to the
library and look up few books, and
there we found the Ropes family had
written several, and all about Europe.
Very modestly they allow other au-
thors to use title pages, but the con-
ltents Of each book were unquestion-
ably by one or more members Of the
Ropes family. For example, we found
one called Europe" or was 1t France
on 81 a Day" Every page had the un-
mistakable Ropes style. Then there
was series on Denmark, Norway,
Sweden and Finland, and each books
title said one could travel. eat, sleep
have a good time and buy souvenirs

The Travellers Notebook
In Which a Guest Writes Some Practical and
Entertaining Notes on the Ropes Family
and Does Eurobe Chedbly.

Then we found that well known
woman's magazine few years ago
printed some charts, doubtless by Mrs.
Ropes. telling how to 60 anywhere in
Europe Just as cheaply as in America.
or even more cheaply. One chart gave
list OF all the pennies spent and
what for during = month on the
French and Italian Riviera. Staying
at fine hotels, eating all you wanted
and seeing everything. 1t cost only
$1s9 for the 30 days. Last of all, we
found a book called Break Your
Lease" or some such title, which told
how to live in Europe in = comfortable
house with q servant, garden, all your
food and clothes, books, opera, and
all the things Europeans love, on
1000 q year.
TAKING the tips We learned from
the Ropes, we set of and went
to Europe. The first thing we dis
covered was that there was no secret
about doing Europe cheaply at all.
Nearly everybody was doing 1t that
way. With few unimportant excep-
tions We found everything cheaper
there than here Never once did we
have to bargain or beat down some-
bodys price. We just jumped with
surprise and pleasure when the bill
was submitted to us.
Some will doubt this, and say, What
about these tales we hear every year
about paying $40 = night for rooms
without bath, and $3.50 for silk shawls
you can buy in New York for 1852"
We can only say, they are tales, and
travellers tales have been suspect for
ages. When We have tracked down
these tales We have usually found that
none Of these travellers ever heard Of
the Ropes. One man we know had to
pay $40 night for bathless room in
a hotel, but We found out that he ar
rived there at midnight and had not
told any one he was coming. Had he
reserved ahead he could have had q
good room for one-fourth that price.
We have jotted down a few Of the
general rules which the Ropes insist
on following on all their trips.
First, do not start until you know
