their home to spend the summer va
cate n after being at Cambridge uni
versity In England a year. We talked
with them for hours, they spoke
Enplish beautifully, both, especially
oaie had an English accent and we
'aucned at their*talking and they at
ours. They told us the North 3ea
was usually very rough, but no one
got rick, for we were on the boat just
9 hours. Early next, morning we got
on the train bound for The Hague.
It tcok Us about an hour and a half
to pet there. I stood hanging on to
a window rod all the way, listening'
to cne of our new irlends talk about
his country. He explained the dytees
windmills, tiny houses, irrigation and
everything we passed along the way
these.
After our continental breakras
which consisted of rolls, marmalade,
butter, and a beverage. We never got
any good fruits, eggs, ham and al’
the good things wc have over here
for breakfast, but don't let a raeai
like that keep you from going abroad
for you’ll get used to it and gain too
A few things aba.,I The Hague: It
is the capital city of the Kingdom of
The Netherlands. It contains the
royal palace; the peace palace
which was designed by a French ar
chitect. Every nation has a dona
tion in the palace. America’s gift
was a statue; Switzerland gave a
clock, bronze doors from the Bel
gians; yellow' marble. Inside, given
by Italy and many more. The house
in the woods, or the royal palace, is
just outside the city, The first Hague
conference was held here in 1899
Many pictures in it date, from the
17th century, Thne are georgeou
vases, with inlaid oorcelaln flowers.
There ~is a clock 300 years old and
it is running! The city has a popu
lation of 400,000 and along with all
those people, 104,000 have bicycles.
Everywhere you see men, women and
children riding them. I had always,
pictured all of Holland in clogs, ot
wooden shoes, and the native cos
tume, but these are worn only by
those on the islands and those wh >
live on the outskirts of the city. Our
guide showed us these peoole on the
coast, who were mostly fishermen,
and their families.
I thought the most beautiful
beach throughout Europe was the
one In The Hague. I'll tell you the
name, but Just try to pronounce It.
"Scheven Ingen.” All along the beach
are hotels, one of which Is occupied
by the nobility of some European ns
lion during the summer. There ere
bath houses on wheels; these can he
tolled Into the water where one
just has to dive in, they looked to
be very convenient. Nancy and I
had. tea with the Dutchmen In one
of the lovely beach gardens. What
was so funny, was the park'ng
spaces for bicycles; there were nun
areos It seemed m the narrow places
The boulevards are very wide >no
are divided into five roads or wa.ks,
one for those who ride ‘'bikes.” one
for equestrians, one for pedestrians,
one for motors and one for street
cars. These were very unusual.
Next, we went to Amsterdam,
which is the largest city in Holland,
the population being 700,000. It is on
the river Amstel and is connected by
bridges. The streets are very narrow
and the sidewalks well, they are too
narrow to be called such. Wc had a
lovely plnce to stav here; Nancy and
I got such a beautiful room we did
not unpack for a moment thinking
they had given us the bridal suite
through mistake. But it was really
tuts and we enjoyed two days stay
ing there.
fc’unday was a frightfully hot day.
however we left the hotel at cleat
o'clock and walked down to the pier
to get a canal, or sightseeing boat
for the Islands of Vollendam. Edam
arid Markem.. The scenery was beau
tiful. the wide green pastures with
cows grasing and windmills every
where. Dutch people were sitting on
the banks of the canal fishing. 1st an
hour we were to set off at Volkn
dam. Each of the three islands is
about an hour's ride apart. At Ed tm
we went to the cheese factory, it was
undoubtedly the cleanest place 1
ever saw. Here we bought cheese ano
milk The buttermilk was delicious.
Some of the members of our party
bought cheese and sent home. There
were also strawberries and other
fruits to buy. They were twigs as
large as our beries. and so juicy.
Next was the Isle of Markem. here we
saw more "real” Dutch people than
anywhere else. It was the most pie
tu'-esque places an i those costumes!
They were pretty, but on a hot day.
The poor little boys and girls .with
several petticoats on and then,
woolen dresses; w* were melting
with sleeveless dresses on. Almost
all of them are blondes—honestly
tnc.r hair looks like light brown mo
lasses streaming down the sides of
their rosy cheeks. Tbjlr complex
ion perfect, I don't, think they ever
heard of make-up. anyway, they
don't need it. for if their faces do
shine they look petty. They have
two curls, one on each side of their
head, the hair around the head is
bobbed, you can hardly tell It for
they wear little caps The only way
to tell boys from girls is the boys
hav* a different Mnd of bow on
their caps, as to th » rest of the dtvw*
tt’o all alike, until they are a certain
age. I wont say, foi I’m afraid ''ll
get 11 wrong. They would say "hallo"
to us, that's all the English they
knew.
The next day we took a sight-see -
uig trip over the city of Amsterdam
We visited Ityks museum which has
almost all of the originals of the
famous Dutch artl3fs. While we were
walking through It we met the Duke
university party, wc hadn't seen
their since London One of the most
int.nesting places we went was to
the celebrated diamond cutters pia'-c
Heie we saw them cutting and pol
ishing the diamonds, and In a large
showcase were many different kinds
of diamonds which had already oeen
finished. I had never seen a black
diamond before, there were many of
them; and beautiful square da
mcnds.
It'S almost time to leave Holland
and go Into Belgium. After lunch we
shopped for an hour or two, then w *
were ready to leave for Brussels.
EXTENT OF CRIME

Henderson.—Bishop Edwin D.
Mouzon, preaching to the annual
North Carolina conference of the
Methodist Eplsconal church. South,
deplored the extent, of crime in this
country.

The bishop recently returned from

I Entitling his sermon “Great Ex
pectations," the bishop said the
“whole creation of man is waiting
for the manifestations of God. ’
"We preachers must get away
fro mselftshriess,” he said. "One son
of God lived to show man what he
can do and under God be We have
depended upon llv'ng. we have got
to lear tithe spirit of sacrificial liv

Many churches of North Carolina,
the bishop added, "are sorely In need
of a son of God In the form of a
steward or a Sunday school superln
