Probably It may be Intereatin to gome folkg to hear about the accommo dations we had this summer, what kind of beds we slept on, the food wu ate our usual mode of travel etc. When we went to our rooms in Na ples as well as at Rome and alrnoav everywhere In Italy, Switzerland and Germany we found two single beds, very comfortable, and clean, usually a tilled floor with rugs and everything needed for two people electric lights or gas we found almost everywhere. It is said that many European hotels were palaces of olden times and one can believe it for old time splendor were constantly ' around, us. Eleva tors are a rarity, hotels having them make a great advertisement of the fact. They are very small, accommo dating four persons at a time and yon are supposed to be seated. As for eigners never hurry you get quite a rest in your slow but sure ascent, you are requested to use your feet in coming- down when possible. And the very friendly terms upon which yoti find yourself with the elevator man, after even a short time, constrains -'ou to obey the request for this person has a great deal more to do than tf run tha elevator While the accontmo datlons In the room were all lhai could be desired a bath was as hare to get as an audience with the Pop and took almost as much time. Upon the astounding announcement that yon after a long day's dirty ride' desired a bath both servants ran hither anu thither, and tha general contusion indicated that your request was out oi the ordinary anj you pay extra tot every both all over Europe. We had no, trouble with the food. always finding something delicious ana satisfying somewhere, through the courses at lunch and dinner. The usual continental breakfast of rolls and coffee we grew to like and it real ly, except In rare Instances, was all we needed. The fruit In ItalT ana France was simply delicious. I never saw such cherries, peaches, apn cots, and flgs,.anywhere and tha let tuce usually served with tha chicken was always tender, and crisp. The bread waa hard and almost impossible at first but with exercise our jaws became stronger and we took to that. Water la rarer than wine, the latter often served generously In decauters en . the table - free, the former stingily doled out from bottles for which you pay twenty cents extra. Our train from Naples to Roma wak exactly like our American cars, but usually we rode In continental trains with their curious little compartments These compartments' are quite, com fortable and when yon have a party as we did and engage an entire- sec tion ahead you feel quite coiy ana oomtortable. On most of the contin ental trains there Is ft corridor run nlng the entire length of tha car on one aide, so If one desires he cah move about a little. The diners are quite Ilka ours, charging yon about the same price al things considered The rate of speef seemed to us about the aama aa our beat trains and they were on time wherever wa went You are never permitted to cross the track at the station; brldgea over head ana underground are provided for getting across and there la an official to I that everybody obeys tbla law. Dur ing the entire summer wa only ran up with one conductor who was not extreme kind and courteous and he was ft Frenchmen.

Our stopping place Id Rome waa Pen sion Beas, and quite a pleasant place it was, when we got ojnt our maps ana began to try to, fix ourselves we founa that we were on the- historic Quirinel hill with the royal f palace nearby was a wing of the. Rospigllost palace which contains GiUoaY.famous palni m& "Aurora", whiclft4ord Byron sale la worth a journey tV Rome to see. " Of the four hundred churches In Rome we chose four or five: of the most noted.' Of course the first om that attracted us was St. Peters, the largest cathedral in the world. The present edifice was 176 years in build ing and cost $50,000,000, an amount so great that the Popes were Induced to resort to the sale of indulgences, the scandal of which was the imme diate cause of the Reformation. Bad eker gives the length of St. Peters a 639 feet and the interior diameter or the great dome, 138' feet. The ap proach to St Peters ts through an im mense piazza or open court bounded on either side by a.semi-circular col onnade capped with statues and hav ing in the center an obelisk with two beautiful fountains o n either side. These columns are over eight feet in diameter and lend . both beauty and dignity to this magnincant approach to 'one of the noblest and most wonder ful worka of man." As so noted an authority as Mendelssohn says, "Sr. Peters surpass"' all powers of descrip tion." It is so big so grand and splen did that one hesitate at even a hur ried attempt at a description Upon the right as one enters the vestibule '.here is an equestlran statue of Con- rtantine, and on the left one of Char lemagne, and over: the middle en trance is Giotto's celebrated mosaic, Peters Walking on the sea," immediate ly beyond the central door in the pavement is a slab, of porphyry, the ilnce where the emperors were for merly crowned. On eithe. aide of the 'tnmense wall are three double nillars massive and , gfldkaV. All along . the length between these great pillars are he tombs of the Popes; on the fourth illlar to the right is the noted "Bronze itatue of St. Peter which la said to late from the fifth century. We stood tnd looked on aa the throngs passed ilong many of whom stopped for one noment and reverently kissed the toe it this statue. When there was a tit le break in the crowd we stepped up rea close and examined the toe with treat curiosity and found It slick and worn to an astounding degree. It ts luite Impossible to give one a clear dea of the great dome resting on four masaive piers 234 feet In circum ference. It may be Interesting to know however, that in the walls of these piers are the are four great re lics of St. Peters, the Lance of Lon ?Inus the head of St. Andrew, a piece of the true cross, and the napkin ot St Veronica. The tomb ot the Apos tle la Immediately beneath the splendid high altar behind great bronze doors, aone but the Pope or one especlall authorized may officiate here and It la used only on great occasions. The passover chair of St. Pete,, alleged to have been his Episcopal "eat la behind the high altar and Is enclosed Inhroz ind supported by four fathers of the church. But aa splendid and grand aa St Peters the one thing In It that Impreed me most waa Michael Ange- lo's Pteta, the mother with tha dead Christ I never dreamed that so much could be expressed In marble tnd the power ot this piece of art 's so great that one feela, as do the devout Roman Catholics all, around, Ilka falling' upon onr knees and wor shipping. The utter relaxation of Wie frame ot the Christ and tha marvel oua expression of mother love ana grief mingled with ft love divine In lbs virgin , combine t0 hold one ta quiet and lively contemplation. No wonder, that this piece of work lra mediately gava Michael Angelo first place among tha sculptors of his &aj . Bui wa mnt hurry along and get out of 8t Peters even though there are many great and Interesting thins that I have not even mentioned there. Being rather exhausted from our first attempt at taking In,' In high places, this magnificent cathedral, after lunch wa sought tba quiet d rest of the Protestant cemetery- where are the Travea Of the III fated Shelly and Keats. A long! ar rkla brought us out from the noise and heat of the city to this restful spot at tha gate after ringing tha queer little bell which htiog on the outside wa vera met br fat old Italian woman who la keeper of the cemetery. We told her that ws wanted to fin I tha grave tuirselvVa and so we did find Sbelley'a hut n showed us In another prt sn1 rathei rimovd from the main entrance the grave ot Keftte and his dxvotnd frrnd Jnvern.

There are several things that the residents of eastern North Carolina can , "point to with pride" but none more than her wonderful climate. Peo pie who are unable to stand the rigoi-g of the northern winter speak in glow, ing terms of the balmy and genial weather in this section and say that the winter climate here surpasses anything for comfort that the eastern coast affords. Far better is It to ?eek a temporary residence here than tD go further south when almost every feature of the southern climate is em braced here. Not only is the climate excellent for .he health but it is conductive to agri :ultural and horticultural prodigies. Few places or conditions where an pple tree yields a second crop but VIr. N. C.
