We shopped at Galleries LaFayette, Lafayette, and at Print Temps there are two of the large stores of Paris. Print Temps is marvelous in its durations. The big dome with ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p028.jpg) galleries all about it so effective and so attractive The French decorate their elevators, their stair cases - Those and Print Temps are beautiful Occasionally they have a painted ceiling such as one finds in the palaces the Louvre Store has such a one. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p029.jpg) Dec 6, 1925 We went to St Denis the Church where the Kings of France are buried.

We greatly admired the shaft with the Eagle to the men who ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p032.jpg) heroism of the French soldiers. We went once again and stood where the armistice was signed between the two train tracks that brought in the German Representatives and Marshal Foche. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p033.jpg) In the afternoon we saw L' Aiglon" at the Sarah Bernhardt theatre.

On January 7 we went to the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p034.jpg) Chateau of Chantilly at Chantilly. There we saw two photograps of L. Arglon. The older, that of the youth grown picture, has been followed very carefully by Sarah Bernhardt and other actresses playing A'lagion L'Aiglon. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p035.jpg) Visiting the Chateau. The chateau is in three parts. First part a 10th century round tower of rock, which took 150 years to build, walls 3½ meters in width. It is the last of the old fortress castle. The ivy all over it. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p036.jpg) there. Louis 11, was connected with Castle. Behind the castle is a 10 century wall.

The chapel is gothic. They have the original statues. They buried them or the Revolutionists would have battered them all to pieces It This Castle was ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p038.jpg) given to the illigitimate son of one of the kings, The third part is Renaissance, decorated in flamboyant style. Things of Special Interest The Castle practically covers the history of France. The tower is Roman architecture. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p039.jpg) The Germans occupied Chantilly about 6 days for two nights they slept in the chateâu, but they did little damage. Many of the treasures had been removed. For details of treasures go to guide The landscape gardner who first ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p040.jpg) who laid out the gardens at Versailles, first laid out the gardens at Chantilly.

Went up the street and bought an artichoke and some cheese for luncheon. Put a paper down on what I thought ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p046.jpg) beautiful. The homes or Villas at Carmes are particularly lovely. On our return we came through the forest of the Esterel mountains, lovely with their beautiful Cedars that are like Umbrellas. They were in contrast to the tu Corniche D'or over which we passed built by the French Touring Club in 1904. This is called the Corniche D'or because of the Mimorsa. that is like a y yellow ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p047.jpg) and looked like gold. We passed the village of Cogne a Roman village and also saw the ruins of an old amphetheatre built in the time of Julius Ceasar. This mornuy we leave the Riviera for Geneva.

We first went to building occupied by the Prefectine of Palice and obtaind our identifycation cards, good for three years. Next ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p054.jpg) we visited Saint Chapelle, the beautiful chapel of stained glass windows built by Louis 9th in the 13 Century. It is a small Gothic chapel of rare, beauty built to appease the wrath of God as the inhabitants got a notion that the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p055.jpg) moved was coming to an end. During the war the French people feared that the "Big Bertha" the fierce of German Gun would damage the Chapel so they took all the windows out and put in oil paper. From there we visited the Hall of Justice ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p056.jpg) where Charlotte Corday, Marie Antonette, Robespierre were tried. The door lead led out of the room into the Concergerie where they were imprisoned.

We knew by all signs that Southern France is Semi- Tropical. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p067.jpg) Jan 27 <17>, 1925 Left Paris for Chartres at noon. The drive was though wide open country, neat farms and green grass This Country nearly always had a border of trees that made ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p068.jpg) a most facinating skyline. There even piles of whitish rocks along the way that glistened in the sun. all piled in slightly oblong squares, The villages alng the way for were I as usual ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p069.jpg) unattractive. The agricultural districts do have poor looking cottages although through the unattractive gates one occassionally gets a glimpse of rather pretty gardens. We first came to Maintenon ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p070.jpg) mountains. Then we came to a look out. It was very beautiful to look back on steep ledges olive groves cedar trees- the long white winding roads and the houses with their red tiled roofs. Then we began dropping finally reveling Grasse ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p071.jpg) At Grasse, Grasse bud bud some sort of flower fete.

The ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p072.jpg) flowers are lovely, and the palm is seen everywhere in the lowlands while on the highlands thy the cypress and the olive tree and cedar abound. In Grasse we were in one of the French cities where perfume is made. We were taken through the factory. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p073.jpg) The first place we were taken to the man told us that they first seperated the flowers placing them on trays, then they placed gasoline on them.

Of course all the water in it is merely the water ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p075.jpg) of the flower, By this new process of men can handle three tons of flowers per day. Then we went into another part where we saw the older process. The flowers were placed on way or tallow. The fatty substance brings out the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p076.jpg) 8 cent.

Elders Keneth Farr of Ogden Clifton Hansen met us at the station. We walked about the city past the Hotel de Ville saw the old part saw the fountain ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p087.jpg) that has shut on a teriffic amount of iniquity. Next we visited the Hotel de Ville, or City Hall. We saw the Palatial quarters where the city of Paris may entertain. Paintings sculpture, form the decorations of ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p088.jpg) the dance of fete room. the dining room and reception rooms - some of the paintings are monuments to the achievements of literature or science, while others are paintings of Paris. We walked for an hour past the book stalls on the sciene looking for a guide of Southern, France, We saw ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p089.jpg) men fishing in the Seine. we saw their boat riding, and we saw, the steam ships plying. Paris was built up through her commerce and her Coat of Arms is first blue with the fleur di le, and rid with a sailling Vessell.

We had met Hansen's brother at Liverpool. We first visited a school where they made silk We were told about the process from the cacoon until it came forth in the lovely Lyons silk. One could easily ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p092.jpg) believe that Lyons is the first city of silks in the world We saw the Jacquard Jacquard loom at work. working out its paterns Jaquard invented the loom in the time of Nap.

The conventional part is also beautiful man said it took two months to ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p093.jpg) weave it a little over a meter. We saw some of the pieces that might be used for curtains or wall paper ready to go to the Paris Exposition this coming summer. Ate luncheon In the afternoon the elders called for us and we went to the Silk Museum which also exhibits lace. We saw fabrics from the ancient peoples such ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p094.jpg) as the Romans down to the modern time. Very beautiful church vestiments lovely in color exquisite work. Saw an exhibit of gentlemen's attire in 18 Century. It was like the lovely things we saw in the Kinguston museum. Those 18 Century men's coats were beautiful beyond description One print in the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p095.jpg) Lyons museum superior to the Kengsn Kensington in London the suits and dresses were all on wax figures. We saw in that Museum what I believe is the most beautiful piece of lace I have ever seen in my life a piece of lace that belonged to Marie Antonette. Then we went to the big church ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p096.jpg) on the Hill full of garish things very much decorated. We walked through the garden below the Church and directly on the Banks of the. Rone Rhine rive which had in it many panels depicting the Catholic miplenes. Then we went to a Church having a big clock. 16 Century where a Cock Crows in the morning at 5 6 and at 12-1 ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p097.jpg) and 2 o'clock. Then home.

Vilate & Elder Hansen strolled back to the Hotel ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p098.jpg) Elder Farr and I walked about looking at stones stores. All at once we met the Young woman who belongs to the only family of Saints in Lyons. A mere coincidence; perhaps but it did seem strange it should happen We boarded the train at 8 o'clock on the morning of the 31 and reached Avingon at noon ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p099.jpg) Jan 31, 1929 Avignon Avignon is decidedly quaint. It is a place of 50 thousand inhabitants. Its vehicles are decidedly quaint. They use everything. Horses are seen more than the motion. But every conceivable ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p100.jpg) type of carriage is used. We arrived about 12 15 a. m. from Lyons. We went immediately to the palace of the Popes.

Lyons a very fine city over 8 hundred thousand inhabitants many many fine buildings many ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p102.jpg) from the time of Napoleon until 1906. Now they are reconstructing it. We visited among other rooms the audiance chamber of the Pope. Saw the place where he received potentates of other lands; the hall of conclove. one room where he dressed had outdoor spurts all over the walls. We saw the hallway where he stood when he blessed the people as they stood in the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p103.jpg) count below. There is one large audiance chamber where the people stood. The Pope entered from his room in such a way that he did not turn his back on the faithful What impressed me was its massiveness a zone it would seem wholly impregnable, and a place where one gets a lovely view of the surrounding country. They se have props to keep the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p104.jpg) old trees that are centuries old. There is a most exquisite monument to the men of the last war right up in the grove near the palace, a monument also is in the public square to the men of nap. III's day. It seemed strange to see the children playing about and to go to a movie in an old city like Avignon. They have turned the palace of Borgies into a music hall. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p105.jpg) probaly where they hold their opera. Avignon is close to Italy - we saw more beggars than elsewhere. The Music hall is probably one of the palaces of the Bourgies. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p106.jpg) recently they have a new one. The Palace of the Popes dates from the 13 Century. It was old in Shakespeare's time. We went through the rooms, that were used by the 5 or 7 7 regular Popes, then the 2 anti popes. After the Pope went back to Rome it was used by the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p107.jpg) papal legates. In the time of the revolution the revolutionists as usual dismantled it very much broke the heads of the images etc etc. The peeple at Avignon connected up with the Phonecians through Marseilles. The Fort of St Andrews shows up from the palace. After the days of the Revolution Napolean took the city The Palace was used as barracks ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p108.jpg) Feb 1, 1925 We arrived in Marseilles and went to the Bordeau Hotel. Walked about Marseilles in the afert afternoon. Saw a very eligant fountain with a beautiful piece of stationary of the Republic. Marselles is lively. They expect to make you pay big prices, and ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p109.jpg) if you object to their prices they say but this is Marseilles. Feb 2, 1925 We went to Cooks where we got our letters. We were expecting letters from Anna Alberton and Amy and found them - She gulp are sailing on the 7th of March. Feb 7, 1925 Alexandra looked very beautiful as we approached it Like a white city of strange fantastic ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p110.jpg) houses. The houses looked very beautiful against the deep blue of the sea medt sea, and the lighter blue of the sky.

Very soon a man came from the Khedival Khedivial Hotel, Cairo, and wanted to handle us. Both men sent Porters to get our baggage and first they talked then the big man took the little man and then him. It was very funny. Finally we got to the customs. Men walked up and down trying to get the Americans to change money. Finally the small custom house officer got us through We then started for the station. On ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p112.jpg) Feb 3 1 pm 1925 Just passing out of the Harbor of Marseilles. The most wonderful natural harbor I have ever seen. Ships of many nations huddled here. No wonder the Phonecians found the harbor of Marseilles. "A ship with a Greek name looks curious, perhaps not more curious than the name of our own ship which is the Sphinx. The water is a nile green the oil upon it ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p113.jpg) melts into orange spots. There is a wonderful extension bridge in the air.

Feb. 7, 1825 We went with the boat party over to Athens. We landed this morning at The lonely Greek bay of P . The ride in the car was delightful after we got through with passport formalities. The ride was delightful, air balmy. After the dirt and poverty of some other countries we have visited we found Athens most delightful. It has a goodly number of fine ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p123.jpg) quarries. It The guide told us that the marble seems never to give out, that is one reason why modern Athens is so attractive. Lycabettus is the name of a mound on which stands the church of St. George. The Acrop Acropolis is built on a solid rock and rises above the city. It is one of those natural fortresses such as we find in Edinbourough and ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p124.jpg) such as Jerusalem is built upon. We first visited the temple of Zeus This was built when Pisistratus was reigning in Athens. The 9 was begun when Pisistratus was king of Athens. The Greeks never finished it, Aristotle referred to it as "a work of despotic grandeur". It was begun in the 6th century B.C but a temple was not really completed here until 130 ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p125.jpg) A.D. and this by the Emperor Hadrian of Rome. Only 15 Corinthian Columns remain of this once magnificent temple It is the second largest Greek temple known the other being the temple of Diana at Ephesus. The temple of Zeus at Athens was 353 feet long 134 feet wide and had more than 100 columns in double rows of 20 each ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p126.jpg) Matters of special interest are the the Old Roman walls 3 or 4 Century, tower 10 th Century the round rock homer dated from the 10 Century the mayor part from the 12 Century.

It was in 1687 that the Venetians fired on the Parthenon. Most excavations have been made along in the 19 Century. Last of all we saw the Theseum. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p129.jpg) behind the hills. The cypress tree is seen all over this country we saw a good many in Beirut. When The first The residencies are very fine in Athens beautiful square houses that give some opportunity for flowers, On the whole its beauty was a great Surprise to us.

The Persians did destroy some of the temples on the Acropolis in early times. Then they let things lie and built other things. The excavators have dug up these early things. Th When the Turks took Greece they made a mosque of the Parthenon, one ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p131.jpg) can see evidences of the fact. Then they stored their gun power in in it making a powder magazine of it. After the Venetians came to power they turned their guns from the mount with the Roman monument on to the Parthenon and the powder caught fire and blew it up. It was these pieces lying round some of which Lord Elgin picked up ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p132.jpg) Praxiteles 1681 The Erechtheum had such delicate capitals to the columns.

Pridias and Scopin and the best pieces they have in the Greek Museum oil by these three sculptors. One piece we enjoyed very much in the museum was the piece with Pan and Venus, cupid between laughing at Pan for assuming to make love to Venus. Then we came back to the boat for dinner. After ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p134.jpg) dinner we visited first the Acropolis. Polis of course means city Acro means upper city. In the age of Pericles after the Persians had been thrust back by the Athenians they built up the Acropolis. The fifth century marks most of the develop- ment through this period and wonder- ful building. Parthenon means the temple of the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p135.jpg) virgin, Athena the golden We enter the Acropolis by passing through the gateway or Propylaea. We pass through a small second-century gateway, "the Bente Gate" so named after the Frenchman who discovered it 50 years ago. At the right of the gateway is the we see the temple of Athena Nike it is built of Pentelic Marbel The frieze of this little temple was taken to England by Lord Elgin ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p136.jpg) It represents Athena pleading her c the cause of her city in the council of the Gods. The temple was built to celebrate the three Athenian victories at Marath Marathon, Plataea, and Salamis. The statue of the goddess is called the wingless victory because Athena is never sculptured in ver wings and most of the victories had wings such as the winged victory of Samothrace at ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p137.jpg) Paris. Then we enter the Parthenon, where at the left stood Phidias calloseal statue of Athena, of Ivory and gold it was made of the spoils caplined at Marathon and finally taken to Rome. The frieze is very beautiful. On the other side of the Parthenon is the Erechtheum with the lovely porch of the Caryatides, one ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p138.jpg) on the North and South sides and triple rows of 20 each on at the end. After visiting the temple of Zeus we went to the stadium The Stadium has an an entrance of typical Greek columns. At this side the side is a door of iron, that the through which the atheletes enter the stadium. It looks like what might have been the entrance of animals in olden times. The guide said there was ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p139.jpg) a tiger in there now but I think it was a joke. Our next trip was to the Museum. The golden Age of Greek Art was the age of Pericles. The three I Venus of the world are the Venius de Milo. the Capatoline Venus in Rome and the De Me decies in Florence.

We rode walked by the column of Constaine after whom the city is named. Until the 11 Century this column had his image. Most have been after the style of the Column to Troyjan in Rome. Then we visited the splendid Arcades where the Bazaars are. Full of the beautiful Unis ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p141.jpg) new buildings, a splendid museum, an Academy of Science and a perfectfully lovely marbel stadium built by my with money contributed by a Greek in Alexandra.

The guide told ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p149.jpg) is that the correct way to pronounce his name is Toot ank amen. We also saw the wonderful sacrifice. of kings and animals.

The grounds were very lovely. roses were ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p150.jpg) blooming when we were there The During the afternoon of Feb 8. we visited some of the Egyptian bazarrs. They are rich in the jewelry of the East. and in the scarfs of bright colors and gold and silver. Things looked dirty to us in the street, but we were assured that the people on the street were doing well, prosperous. Beggars every where we made our way to the mosque ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p151.jpg) then tell them to march down. Al- Azhar ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p152.jpg) This particular mosque is used for the University. We saw the students sitting about repeating their lessons, we were told that their teachers had gone home. We saw a man turn his face towards Mecca and pray. In a few moments we made our way to the door where the great yellow slippirs that had been tied on us were taken off. We were in the midst of beggars dirt rags and squalor one seeming squalor once more. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p153.jpg) On our way to the Museum on the morning of the 8th we saw a veritable street pageant.

They select a good reader. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p168.jpg) [--]aly. Back we went to the hotel where we had dinner. Then out out to the Pyrimids. We had a long ride on the car crossed the Nile and were where we could see its wonderful banks many times. We passed a splendid hotel, came across the camels that people ride on about the Pyramids. Some girls Joined us who were with a Canadian Cruise one from New York, one from. Amr one from England ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p169.jpg) They have just come from Palestine and they tell us it is cold there. Well, we are walking past the Pyramid of Cheops in moon light, the moon is glorious the Jagged rocks look faint and grey in the moon light. There are other pyrimids about, one that from one angle looks almost as large as Cheops but it is not nearly so large. We wandered down the hill and came close enough to the Sphinx to see ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p170.jpg) are gulf links. are After seeing the Pyramids and the Sphinx we visited the ruins of a temple near by. Great big stones such as one sees in the pyramids a guide took us with lighted candles to see some of them. We were told it was one of the places where embalming was done in the past The next day Feb 10, 1925 One of the most interesting days I have ever spent ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p171.jpg) in my life. The weather that of a lovely spring day. We were riding towards Memphis. Again we saw the Pyrimids, the large ones near Cairo not the Pyrimids of Memphis. We started early enough to see the matchless wonderful moving life of Cairo. Never before have I seen any thing to equal it. Long trains of camels decorated often with blue beads. Great packs on their backs like huge bags of cotton. Some with bushels that just ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p172.jpg) fit to their sides and the donkey that carries his burdens.

The The lonely drive took us through most interesting rural country. finally we reached Memphis. There we saw two high statues of Rameses the II. One was so large that we had to walk up stairs to see the face. Rameses is the King who used to Scratch off the inscriptions other kings had made and place his name everywhere. We saw many people on the way using the old fashion plough. Then we visited ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p175.jpg) the tombs of the Bulls. They are a way out in the Desert. This was ride desert. We Saw took candles (and saw the large sarcophagi, out of which the Bulls had been taken. But the temple of Ti was interesting beyond measure.

We were driven to the new Grand Hotel. In driving in we passed through the Jaffa gate. I had something of a thrill a few moments we were out with a guide by the name of Mr. John. His father assisted Madam Mountford in placing the Jerusalem exhibit at St. Louis. This morning we went through some old fashioned narrow steps in stairs ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p187.jpg) streets in stairs and came to the church of the Holy Sepulchre. The building is garish. it is interesting because it records the terrible struggle of the Crusaders to recover from the moslems places they thought sacred in the life of Christ. The Greek Catholics have one place, the Roman Catholics another, the coptic church yet another and a Mohamedan keeps the door to keep them from fighting. I was very much depressed in spirits as I visited the Church it was one of ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p188.jpg) the least attractive things I had ever done.

We passed on our way Zelah, home of Kish father of Saul. Our attention was next arrested by a Mohamedan funeral, as they walked along they sang a doleful song. It was a queer black coffin in they carried along, for they carried the coffin. We had hardly got through ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p195.jpg) witnessing the funeral, when we saw a group of women with a small box shapped thing on top of their heads covered with whit a white cloth the size of smal small sheet. They were women of Bethlehem in the Costumes of the women of Bethlehem. They were going to the home of a bride to get her and take her to the church to be married.

His text was in relation to the sacrifice of Elijah on Mt Carmel. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p199.jpg) Sunday Feb 15 <1925> Before reaching Bethlehem we came to the spot where Rachael is buried. We had passed the well of the Magi one moment before. The place where it is supposed the Magi gave their camels something to drink before they went on to the Bethlehem. On the road we came to the place where Rachel was buried, now in the hands of the Jews We saw a Jew balling his hand against the lamb and singing. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p200.jpg) Then we rode through the valley coming to the tomb of Absalom the tombs of St James, first bishop of Jerusalem, and the tombs of Zedekiah and also the tomb of Jehosaphat. Riding on crossing the brook Kedron we came to a place where we could see the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p201.jpg) French Consulate, but a monk walks about in the garden. The people here universally carry things on their heads. We saw a woman as we stood on the Mt of Olives carring a five galon can of water on her head. It was hard to call this land the Promised land until one got to the Plains of Esdralon, then the ground looked fertile.

Soon we were at the port, with its lovely green ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p203.jpg) line something Cony Island, but the beach was rocky. Then we found the place where Tabitha was healed by Peter. The place is in charge of the Russians and there is a pretty little chapel, where the front entrance contains in their languages the scripture telling the story and where there is a pict mural painting of Tabathia being ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p204.jpg) raised from the dead by Peter. We went out into the garden and there we saw the places cut in the stone where the dead might be buried. From thence we visited the home of Simon the Farmer. The pla where Peter had his vision. The place was so tumbled down that the British government made them put a floor in [---] ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p205.jpg) what they call the cave of Mc Phalia They wont let visitors in except with special permission. We walked through the business street of Hebron. We saw a plow being mended at the Carpenters shop. The guide said that was what Joseph and Jesus did. We saw a fellow having his head shaved because it said something about shaving the head in the Bible. The Jew won his two curls because the Bible ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p206.jpg) says not to cut the extremeties of the hair. Tuesday Monday Feb, 16 We went to Joppa or according to the Arabic Jaffa. On our way we passed through the land allotted to Dan and Benjamin. We rode through a country of wh the red aneminia or what we learned is the City of the freed spoken of by Christ. [-] There were ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p207.jpg) quantities of flowers out. We passed country that was very rocky, once again, rocky like the country leading from Jerusalem to Jordan. It took two hours to go from Jerusalem to Joppa. Some of the country looked as though some mighty hand had been in and turned and twisted surely it had gone through terrible contentions ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p208.jpg) As we rode along then we came to Magdal to Tiberius, and then Cana. Here the Roman Catholics and Greek Orthodox have divided honors, one says it has the place that the wedding occurred and the oth other the place the miracle occurred. Cana is also through legend reputed to be the birth place of Jonah. From Cana to Magdala then to Magdala. very much of a ruin the home of Mary Magdalene.

They we pretended to show us the place where Christ sank under the weight of the cross, the place where Veronica handed him the handkerchief, etc. etc. The last stations are in the church of the Holy Sepulchere. In the afternoon we first visited the Jaffa gate, where ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p210.jpg) we saw the Eye of the Needle, the little gate in the big gate. Then we went to Mt. Zion, we supposedly saw here the place of the Last Supper, the place where Peter was when the cock cres crowed and he denyed the Christ, the place where David and Solomon were buried. These places This latter place is still ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p211.jpg) Mohamedan town, just as Hebron is. We went into the dirty little narrow she Medieval streets where they could easily fight with holes off at the side they call homes. We went into the little church five stood about.

We also saw on one of the hills the ruins of an Old Castle built by the Crusaders but now used by the Shepherds at night as we wode along we came to the Sea level ba mark. a good while before reaching Jerico. On our way we saw several flocks of sheep. The sheep and goats were together. Many ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p220.jpg) of the goats were black. The sheep of were browsing about with not a good deal of grass the shepherd was asleep we startled him as we passed. We also saw a herd of nearly 100 Camels There were two little baby camels while one was nursing its mother it looked as though it had white wool over it. The guide called the Bedouin who drove them the Shepherd of the Camels. We snapped the Bedouin's picture. He His outer garment was ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p221.jpg) camels hair, he had a coat of sheep skin, he would worn near his body. He had a gazells skin over one shoulder and the white thing on his head with two cords to keep it. At a sort of belt he wore a small goat skin in which he milked the camels. We passed the good Samaratian Inn. The guide greeted his cousin a hansome young fellow there.

When she asked for Joshua's head. Then we rode into Jerico John's head. Then we wrode into Jerico. It has only 400 people in it now. We rode past the little shops that looked so tiny. We went to the Jordan Hotel for dinner. Hicken's says in his book that the last [--]rpreter ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p224.jpg) of mosques. now after dinner we went with Russell Blood and Elder Durant and climbed the Galata Tower of evidently an old Turkish Fortress, but we had a splendid view of things. We counted minerets rising from ten different mosques in on one side. We saw the mosque with the six minerets. There is one mosque in Mecca that has one more. We then visited ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p225.jpg) the Mosque of Sophia a lovely dome that is said by some to be second only to the Dome of St Peters Rome. We visited the mosque of the 6 minerets nearby also. Then we looked up the square where stands a lovely obelisk, very fine on a fine base, charicters very clear.

Under a horrid Mohamedan mosque Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebecca and Jacob and Leah are supposed to be buried. We saw ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p228.jpg) and rode along stopping at a little Syrian village on the way where Mr Andre's brother- in law lives. While he stepped in to visit with them we watched the people They did seem to be leading a wretched life, and we saw again the same rags and the same patched clothes that we saw so constantly in Palistine. We watched probably five or six girls with water Jugs go to the stream and fill their jug with water. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p229.jpg) of Racheal for her children. Mt.

Part of his estate consists of a summer ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p230.jpg) hotel to which people come in the summer to escape the heat of Jerusalem. He took us on to his Veranda and there we looked to our right and saw Bethel the place where Jacob wrestled with the angel. Mr Andi said as you stand to us as we stood there, now you are standing on the ground given to Ephraim we did not tell him that we were of Ephraim. He is a quaker. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p231.jpg) American or a European. He is a polished gentleman in every particular strange but he knew Madam Mount- ford and Charlie Johnson. His home combined the lovely brasses and beautiful colored rugs of the orient and telephone etc. Mr. Tadros had asked that we go to the Orange Groves. We went to one where they were packing. Jaffa has delicious oranges ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p232.jpg) She ships has shipped 1 million and a half boxes this year. Mr Tadros gave us said he had an orchard of 18 thousand trees. We went into an orchard and were loaded down with lovely branches. Then we went back and lunched with Mr. Tadros, a charming host. He gave us grape fruit grown in Jaffa. After our luncheon and visit we went ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p233.jpg) through an agricultural village called Saronia. It is a thriving German colony. Then we visited the second wine manufacturing place in the world we were told. It is a Jewish concern, and is called Ruchon Le Zion which interpreted means The vineyard of Zion. We saw many camels sometimes they had tremendius packs. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p234.jpg) Feb. 18, 1925 From Jerusalem to [Written sideways in right margin] Shechem [Resume original text layout] Gihon 1 Kings 1-33 Gihon Samuel's Salom annointed Knob - Sam 1-21- 1-9 David had Shew bread.

We saw Mt. Scopus, the in the distance the mountain that gives perhaps the best view of the city that may be had the place where the Crusaders took their last stand. We came to Knob - Sam. 1 - 21 - 1- 9. The place where Dand Ali Shew bread Sam 1 - 22. 9 - 23. Then we passed Ramath. At Ramah a voice was heard crying. the voice ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p241.jpg) called to a baby who was crying, we followed in after it to the Church of the Nativity. The Armenians were holding a service in the chapel where it is supposed Christ was born, so we the Greek Catholics had theres, and now it would be the turn of the Roman Catholics, a Moslem Policeman was there to not especially to keep peace as is the fact in the case of the Church of the Holy Sepulchere, but to keep the precious lamps ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p242.jpg) from being stolen the expensive lamps and the hangings on the wall. We walked about the part where the Greek Catholics have their place service and then to the place where the Roman Catholics have their service the place belongs to the Greek Catholics, in the Roman Catholic part we had a baby Christened and baptised. Then we went into the place where the Savior is supposed to have been born. Then ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p243.jpg) In the afternoon we went for a drive We drove up to an emenence where we could see the city. We realized why Damascus is called the garden of Allah when its trees are in bloom. They irrigate from the two rivers Urbana - other mentioned in Bible so that every garden in Damascus is watered. The 2 rivers of course are are what reclaims the Damascus from the desert. The soil was like ground ashes and made ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p244.jpg) the trees look an ash grey they were so completely covered The woman here, of the Mohamedan cult frequently we are usually I take it seen with the veil, although they have not the yellow spool seen by the Mohamadan women in Egypt.

Sometimes the dress is black and the veil colored. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p245.jpg) These men looked like Jews, long spare faces with dark hair and dark eyes. But we knew that Sheckhem was important. for the mountains of form a natural amphitheatre At this place Israel was called together more than once to receive instruction. We passed now in successe succession the cities of Jazreel, Endor and Nain. [Written sideways in right margin] Gerezim & Mt Ebal ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p246.jpg) And to night we are sleeping in Galilee at the Galilee Hotel. We had chestnuts for dinner baked and placed on the dish between potatoes and chicken. They were good. I have never eatean cooked Chestnuts prepared with food before. And so we are in Nazreth the place where Christ lived. Last night the stars shone as it seems I have never seen them shine before ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p247.jpg) The Palestine skies are very blue. The stars looked as though two or three had run together No wonder the tent dweller prefers the sky to his lit and the people of this land prefer the sky to all else. Feb 19, 1925 Thursday. Nazereth. The morning is perfect. The sky blue. The gardens about well kept the hotel look well- kept. Rock walls and the catcus forms the fences. The sign on the garden gate opposite the hotel says it is the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p248.jpg) valley where the brook Cherith had taken its course course and where Elijah was fed by the ravens. Now we were at the fountan described by Hickens as something that looked like a small swimming pool, called Elisha's Fountain. This is the spring from which Jerico gets most of its waters. All around it was a luxuriance of vegetation contrasting with the desert. The guide told us how the waters were bitter by Elisha cast into it salt and how ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p249.jpg) the waleis had been sweet ever since He said it had been analyzed by the British government and found perfectly good. Jerico is tropical the banana grows and it is a good place for oranges. The guide took us to his uncles orchard. We picked the oranges from the trees and ate them. We saw Mr. Audi our guide took us into the house and introduced us to his brave cousins perfectly beautiful women dressed in European costumes ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p250.jpg) Feb. 19, 1925 The morning was ideal in Nazreth a beautiful day at home in spring is the only thing I can compare it with. to. We left walked about Nazreth and saw its houses a few in the small valley the others and ledges, over it all a Roman Catholic Orphanage. People here are very poor, hardly any one has on decent clothing, We visited the church of Annunciation where there is a ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p251.jpg) that relieved the barreness. Then in a moment we were at the Dead Sea with the mountains of Moab on the opposite side. The Dead Sea reflected the sun on its surface just as great Salt Lake, only it looked so tiny. Over among the mountains of Moab we had pointed out to us Nebo, where Moses stood and looked over the promised land. Of course the Cities of Sodom and Gomorah were in that vicinity. We were told that Herod ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p252.jpg) into city on horse with any pomp: but walking like a Christian gentleman with his generals he met the governor of the city who handed to him the keys of the city.

All along as we drove from Nazareth to Capernaum we saw fields of red white and wite white lilies. When we sat to eat our supper [Written sideways in right margin] often released by patches of brown & pink. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p254.jpg) there was a boquet of red white and pale lavendar lilies. Consider the lilies how they bloom - Surely not Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these. We had fish for supper on Feb 19. caught in the Sea of Galilee. 20 Feb. Sitting by the side of the Lake a glorious day, we saw the fishermen in the boats handling their nets, and saw men on the shore mending there nets About a rod from here is a man with ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p255.jpg) his net on his toes mending it a little latter Vilate and I went down to the Lake, where we sang Galilee with Mr Ondi and read the chapter about the miracle of the loaves and the fishes and of Peter walking on the water. Then we bade goodbye to the hotel got in the carriage and started for the station Tiberias Mr Ondi says is the ancient Ganozeret; We watched the natives carry water from the sea to the the place ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p256.jpg) where they rushed to carry it and a man stood shaking something from a bottle into it. a disinfectant no doubt. We left the hotel and as we rode along we crossed the bridge that marks where the Jordan river passes out of the sea so that we had the sea of Galilee on one side and river Jordan on the other. On the train we rode over the plain of Horan as it is called now or Basban in Biblical times. There was a plan along the way where the Amlibite king called Al Ay was ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p257.jpg) defeated by the Israelites, We arrived in Damascus at 8:30. a very modern looking station, none but horse carriages to meet us. We are at the Damascus Palace Feb 21, 1925 In the This morning we made our first visit to the mosque of Amayyade. one of the best of known mosques. The We found the outer court with a fountain of abundant water for the washing of feet. Within we saw some very so exquisite p prayer booths. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p258.jpg) Once more as on the day we rode to Jerico, we went through rocky ledgie country, rocks grey as ashes that looked as though they had been belched from the bowels of the earth. and we came to Jacob's well. This is preserved by the Greek Catholics, once more, but the identity of the well seems certain. It has a little chapel over it. The well is 120 feet deep. The man lowered ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p259.jpg) a group of lighted candles to the bottom it seemed a long time going down, and when we came out we did feel that we had trodden on holy ground. Nearby is the village of Sychar from which the woman came. From here only a few minutes ride we were in the city if Shichem or Arabic Nablus. Here we ate dinner. Some one brought a big pack marked and blend ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p260.jpg) extra hasten the day when the intelligent ones will relive the squalor, We went to the Pathchild Hospital to see Miss Kaplen we saw some lovely hot water bog y boex they looked good We in Jerusalem We visited the Combs of the kings an excavation made partly by the French Roees for the bodies hewn in the ruins. a huge rock rolled from the front made plane the Biblical statement they ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p261.jpg) of Eenahemesh. Joshua 15-16-7- On our way we saw a strange house made mostly of standard oil cans. We passed a Russian Hostel where the Russians rest when they come on their pilgrimages to the Jordan. We looked back and saw Aphra mentioned in the Bible a town in Gideon. Jerusalem is 4000 feet above sea level. The dead sea is 14 thous hundred feet below and the city of Jerico is 900 feet below ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p262.jpg) This afternoon. I enjoyed the ride very much more because we did not hear so much trash about the mother of Constantine finding the thee three crosses or were he told the exact place where he was nailed to the cross, where he hung, where he was buried, where the angel was seen etc. It is past belief that these guides dare stand and tell such trash. We went drove ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p263.jpg) from the hotel to the Mount of Olives. We saw the Judean Hills and the Dead Sea in the distance. We could see the sea distinctly. We passed the valley of the Hymnon, and the cemetery where the British ladies lie buried who helped take Jerusalem from the Turks. The city We went to the Mount of Olives. There are cypress trees there and a few cedars and a grove of young Olive trees on the Russian side. We went up in the mineret which the Mohamedans ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p264.jpg) have placed there and saw the city below. and pretty soon a Mohamedan Shiek mounted the mineret and called for prayer. He goes no on all sides and calls for prayer. it was near 3 in the afternoon. But what a clutter they have made of the Mt. of Olives. The Mohamedans with a mineret, the Roman Catholics with a court with the prayer written in different languages. and a Greek Catholic Church full ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p265.jpg) of their images. I crept out of the Greek Cathic Church where Mass was in progress assisted by a fine choir and tried to spend a moment by myself. I thought of Orson's Hydes eloquent prayer of of his plea Oh Jerus plea O Jerusalem Jerusalem etc. I rejoiced in the thought that it is no longer in the hands of the Turk and that since British occupation 40 thousand Jews have moved to Palestine. There are many ignorant begging Jews, but ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p266.jpg) Mohamedism was more than I could stand. It seemed as though the darkness was as thick as their walls and the ignorance dense beyond description. We saw the tower We saw the ch. that the Kaiser and Kaisser wife come to Jerusalem to dedicate Lutherian, was at the begining of the century. Good looking Church. built on the site of the Hospital of the Knights of St. John. We saw the Russian Hospice protecting a part of the wall and an ancient gate of the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p267.jpg) Church of St Ann, the Virgins Mother, according to legend. But the important thing was the museum. It contains some very wonderful things found in excavations. The talent a measure, a piece of iron, they assured us it would take just ten thousand francs in weighing it too balance on the other side. We saw a silver case in which was [-]lled the book of Esther. the brick letters with the envelopes on the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p268.jpg) outside of mud for they were not really brick. Then we went to house shown us by a a place shown us by an English speaking individual, Mother Irene, she said it was the house of Pilate. It is at the place of the Ecce Homo Arch. Where they said Behold the Man. From there This place which is said to have been ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p269.jpg) the house of Pilate, may not be Pilate's house, at all, but they have dug down to Roman pavement and the whole thing is solid rock so that it undoubtedly blonged to a Roman. There were evidences on the pavement of the Roman soldiers having played games. Then we went up the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p270.jpg) Roman and it is easy to see that they could accomodate 3000 horses. A youngster before us was throwing stones in a sling as David did, and trying to selle his slings. We then walked to the East to the Golden Gate, v We followed from the walls of the city where we could see the mount of Olives the road probably taken by Christ when he made his triumphant entry, Then we went to the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p271.jpg) they took him out and put him in the manger where the magi came and gave him gifts. Then we went to the place where the children were were murdered and finally to the grotto of milk. They saw at this grotto that the virgin nursed the baby and a drop of milk fell on the stone. and after that mothers who had no milk would come and get some ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p272.jpg) of the stone ground and put in the milk and that would increase the milk. Then we went on to the p Hebron passing the Pools of Solomon. These are being converted at the present into resevoirs for the proper supplying of the city water. We then went to the Oak of Mamre Hebron. Hebron is prominent in Jewish history for in Hebron David reigned over Judea ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p273.jpg) In this region Hannah the mother of Samuel lived and here he was born. At a town called Bireh in Arabic and Beeroth in the Bible we have the place usually printed out as the probable place where Joseph and Mary missed Jesus and went back to find him praying in the temple. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p274.jpg) painting of the child Jesus learn Joseph and Mary in the Carpenters shop, the child learning to be a Carpenter. We saw also what and also the place that is supposed to be the home of Joseph and Mary, and above what is supposed to have been the carpenter shop. There is an altar with a white cover over it and on which was written Joseph and over it a ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p275.jpg) painting of Joseph Mary and the Child learning the Carpenter's trade. The little hovel they told us was Mary's house is not of course satisfactory as that but it is probably something that gives a pretty fair idea of the sort of houses they used to live in. We went into a museum where we saw some wonderful capitols on columns built by the crusaders, we saw three floors. These spots are supposed to have been found by queen Helena. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p276.jpg) they said they did not want any accidents with the tourists. Just above it was a Moslem Minerett, and as we were there just at noon we saw the man mount the tower and give the call for the noon prayer. Then we saw a man that was near lake water in a stone jar wash his hands first, then his head face ears and neck, and then his feet ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p277.jpg) court again we were looked up at a mineret, where the mohamedans say Christ will descend when he comes back. Within is a tomb that the Mohamedans say is the John the Paplists Baptists grave. We then visited the bozarro saw some Damascus silk scarfs, [--]nce. beautiful kunn. kunenas among others a beautiful white one. We stood on the street "called straight" and looked down it. We Before we visited the bozarros we went ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p278.jpg) What is reputed to be Joseph's grave is nearby as the ground bought by Jacob is there. It is owned by the Mohamadan Modamedans. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p279.jpg) the leper lived and which is still used for lepers. We also saw the house where Ananias is supposed to live. We went to a place where they make all sorts of [---]es saw the boxes done up for Algeria, London New York and Berne switzerland Feb 22, 1925 In the morning we attended service in the hotel. At the hotel is part of a cruise, made up of Canadians ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p280.jpg) As we rode along we came to ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p281.jpg) Nain, a little village of square huts built on ledges at the side of the mountain. still retains its ancient name. And then we broke into the fertile plains of Esdraelon. On thes use these plains we saw the place where the philistines and Israelites were arrayed against each other and where in the last war German English and Turk met. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p282.jpg) Finally we were in sight out of of the first ruins of Baalbek The mountains coiled about them in their snowy garb. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p283.jpg) It may not be the correct mountain but in any event there is plenty of wilderness about it, and room for a good many petty kingdoms below it. The Israelites crossed the Jordan at its just where it flows into the Red Sea because it is most narrow there, and sent into Jerico for signs of its fertility. No one would imagine that such expressions as a land flowing with milk and honey could come to the lips of one seeing the county. God grant ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p284.jpg) that God's displeasure may soon be removed and that it may soon do something to put on its former glory. There is plenty of land in Egypt that if more water could be found would be fertile. But the land between Jerusalem and Jordan is so rocky. When we returned we went to the Jewish wailing wall. There were not the beggars on the route that we saw on Thursday. It was the Eve of the Jewish Sabbath. They were there in the most comical and a more fantastic comical looking ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p285.jpg) groups have seldom seen Dozens of them had short hair with a curl hanging down each side. One fellow had two long locks hanging but no curl. A group more long dirty black velvet coats and a black velvet cap on top with yellow fur about it. The most impressive thing about it was the wall. Wile is While in no sense part of the temple it is most likely a reminent of Jewish architecture. As we came back through the narrow ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p286.jpg) sheets we saw holes off- and in where a person it might might be dragged into we also saw in the dim distance as though burned in a rock a scribe. When we visited Mr Adr Adrs Andr"s cousins house we saw the coins pinned on his Aunt's head, gold and silver part of the dowery. We heard the salam or salutation of peace from his cousins. How it reminded me of Madame Mountford. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p287.jpg) Feb 23, 1925 We spent the morning in the bazaars of Damascus Damascus is the shopping center of this region. We saw on Saturday, the first day we spent in the city, people from Mr. Andre's own home town beging the brilliant Damascus silks to dress up their Tarbchas. We saw people at work during the inlaid mother of pearl work and we saw ten people at work making elegant brass coffee pots. We did see extensive arcades ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p288.jpg) in which they keep their goods, of all sorts, so many of their things are decorative. We walked down the street called straight once again. It is a street of pretty good width built up on both sides, m sold masonry of a material that looked like concrete and at the top one windows. Over it in the shape of an arch are the windows that let in most of the light. We went back to the hotel and lunched, the good natured hotel ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p289.jpg) keeper came and gone us the and wished us good bye, giving us the oriental greeting as we came down the steps, we got into our auto and swung out onto the street. we came to the anchor market where we again heard the clink clink clink of the money changers coin, we had heard it first on going on to the street on Saturday and it was like last thing we heard is we left today We swung out ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p290.jpg) Feb. 24, 1924 Visited the wonderful ruins of Baalbek in the morning. Mr. Alouf The best informed man to be found on the subject took us into the ruins and gave us a lecture. We stood in the ruins of the temple of Jupiter of Baccus. and The approach is marvelous. It took 250 years to build the temple. The ruins ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p291.jpg) are a marvel and a wonder and confirm all that has ever been said about the Roman Civilization. We went a few steps from the ruin of the great temple of Baal, so dainty in its beautiful colums and Capitals with the great heavy Arabic stones above it. One of the strange inconsistencies of life. We lunched at the Palmyra Hotel, where Mr. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p292.jpg) Alouf told us that where the Palmyra Hotel is [Vertical text in right margin] once a Roman Arena where Christians were killed. [Resume original text layout] After luncheon we started our ride to Beroute. We rode through the Lebanon mountains coming to the snow lines, where we were chilly. The Lebanon mountains are majestic mountains and they have deep gorges in places and mountains beyond mountains in this repect they differ from the mountians we ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p293.jpg) saw in Palestine. As we came down towards the valley we were near by to groves of the Cedars of Lebanon. It takes the Cedars of Lebanon a long time to grow. But the As we decended we were were away we were coming into tropical country. Behind us were the gorges and pinks of Lebanon and before us the wonderful port of Beroute with the Sleain Ships floating gliding ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p294.jpg) on it. It was a marvelous picture, or behind us the mountains and before us the sea. This proved to be one of the most attractive rides we have had on our trip. as we came into the city we saw bannanas clinging to the trees and the date palms everywhere in evidence. The good weather con- tinued. Feb 25, 1925 This morning we visited the University of Beroute. It is a splendid institution and a great credit ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p295.jpg) There are eight women studying in the University now. Recently they held a oratorial contest and a Moslem. woman won the prize, here theme was dropping the veil. We have seen very few women on the street today with veils. The hideousness of it all. Those women in great sheets while sheets with black veils. Nothing could be more hideous. Yet they say that a woman without a veil is apt to be thought loose by ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p296.jpg) the people in this country. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p297.jpg) They have a lovely campus site over the Bisphoras, fine beautiful new Buildings. We were interested in the cleanliness and beauty of the plant and especially attracted to the Art Gallery the selling Room and the Museum which of course is emphasizing the rare and things and many times both rare and beautiful things of the east ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p298.jpg) we walked out with our dear little guide and stood on a point where we could see the Bospho Bosphorous to good advantage, all that has been said of it as a point where ships might easily be shelled and blown up is true ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p299.jpg) to all who have stood behind it. The campus was interesting. We saw the Banyan tree once more. We had met it first in the park in Cairo where we listened to the Egyptian band. we now saw it on the campus of the University of Beroute. We also saw a beautiful tree called the Carrib tree, which grows the Carrib bean, this is what the Prodigal son fed the swine and what he himself ate. The Cypress tree was in bunches so lovely and thick that it was difficult ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p300.jpg) to see through. The Cyprus tree grows very well in this clime. In the afternoon we visited the American girls school. We saw the place where a Mr Smith did the translated the Bible [--]o Arabic. It was the first translation ever made of the Bible in to Arabic, Those people one doing splendid work. They told us they had girls from Bagdad, and Persia. The campus proved interesting. We saw an African tree with great green balls growing under the leaves. They looked like green mellons ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p301.jpg) the size of a cantalope hanging one under another beneath the tree. We also saw a tree with brilliant red flowers larger than our trumpet flower all in bloom Beroute is has very many beautiful plants in it. Feb. 26, 1925 We drove out to Dog River. On the way we visited the boys orphanage connected with the Near East Relief work. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p302.jpg) There were 977 boys there. We saw the find manly little fellows. Most of them without either father or mother Mr. J. H. Knudsen is in chage has been connected with the work for practically six years. We saw the boys making shoes, suits, hats, they also make hats. baking break. working in the carpentering shops making desks for the American University at Beuroute. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p303.jpg) These booths as I have selected to call them are semcircular places, in the wall, finished with beautifully inlaid work where the Mohamadan prays with his face towards Mecca. The floor was covered with rugs of a great variety, along the side of the wall was the pray rug on which is a point pointing towards Mecca. The were many beautiful rugs on the floor, two that we were told Royal persons had saught to buy nap very close 110 years old. When we went out into the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p304.jpg) to what was the palace of the farmer king, a typically oriental palace, we saw the place where he kept his harem and where they bathed. As we entiered the mosque we saw some very ancient looking columns either Greek or Roman. be perhaps a Greek or Roman temple occupied the spot where the mosque now stands. We went to the hotel for luncheon then we visited a tomb Said to be the tomb of Mohameds daughter ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p305.jpg) it had some pretty war over it and a paisley shall. We saw something in the Mohamedan cemetery on the outside that looked like a plaster made of mud and straw. We rode along outside the city wall and came to the place where they say Paul was let out in the basket. O On the road we saw some of the Armenian children and we saw also the place over a wall outside the city where the Armenian refuges had fled. We visited the house which is said to mark the spot where W Kings for refrence ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p306.jpg) of that [--] Hotel was killed on his way from Jerico to Jerusalem. When we see how the mountains repeat themselves in undulating terraces and see the great caverns, we can easily believe that any one might be pounced upon by robbers and we can see how the lepers find places in the rocks. After eating luncheon at the Jordan Hotel we visited Elisha's Fountain. On our way down we had looked across the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p307.jpg) golden gates of the Temple, spoken of in Ezekiel 44 - 2. Where it says the son of man hath entered in and it must be closed. The Mohamedans have kept it closed believing if it was ever opened the Christians would take possession of the country. They did in when the army of occupation entered. From this golden gate to the East of the temple we went to St Stevens gate ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p308.jpg) We were told that outside this gate St. Stephen was stoned to death. We then went to the Pool of Bethesda. I Recent excavations have been made there and it would seem that they might have discovered the pool. One part they said was for the washing of people the other part for cleansing sheep and goats that were to be offered as sacrifice. The white brothers have charge here. We visited the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p309.jpg) Christian Arabs. We picked some flowers in the orchards On one table was the Narcissus that grows wild in that part of the country it is the rose of Shanon of the bible. I found in this orchard a stem with four on of the single Narcissus. On our way down we and on our way back we had pointed out to us what the guide called Mt. Temptation. There is a monstry of the Orthodox Greek Church on its top ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p310.jpg) and the one in Mecca. The claim is made that this is the rock where Abraham offered Isaac as a sacrifice and they show the whole later where the Jews in the Temple of Solomon offered their sacrifices, and they show the hall where the blood ran through into the Valley of Jehesophat Jehosaphat. Then we went to the mosque of Al-Oqsa the mosque where the Moslems actually hold ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p311.jpg) their service. The guide said it wa is on the site of Solomon's Temple. We then walked through the broad space that is said to be over Solomon's Temple. Stables We went to the wall to the wall and were shown the corner South East corner where there is evidently a bit of old Jewish wall according to Sir Warren Great old we hole eaten stones We looked from the wall saw the Jewish cemetery, the tomb of Absalom and some of the tombs of the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p312.jpg) prophets. other of prophets we were told. We looked towards the pool of Salome and the little village of Salome where the lepers used to crouch and follow tourists before the days of British occupation. We went underneath and [-] the great Roman arches of a stable, where the holes for the rope were through the pillar It is said that these were the stables of Solomon, they were undoubtedly ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p313.jpg) in the hands of the Mohamed Mohamedans Mohamedans, perhaps and most likely the whole thing is one huge fake. But we did see Jerusalem from the Hill, the new Jewish Houses, the German homes, and the sight was inspiring. We saw a pool by which legened has it the Solomon was ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p314.jpg) crowning of Solomon took place. We saw also an Armenia Service, Christians, they were singing mass and it seemed very like the Roman Catholics. We saw in the Armenian section the result of the Near East Relief. We saw the little boys acting as Scouts and saw them coming from school they looked ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p315.jpg) happy. We then went to the Rothchild Hospital where Miss Caplan showed us the work that is being done by the Jewish people in this one Hospital in the Near East Relief Work. It did our hearts good to see what is done We saw the maternity ward. the mothers and babies, the places where the the mothere's were ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p316.jpg) the places where the men and women were the places where people afflicted the l with the prevalent eye disease are. We also saw the nurses quarters and where they study. We finished up with a vew view from the muris home where we saw the city. It was a beautiful view ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p317.jpg) They retaind the Armenian wealth. All ready returned any children whose relatives cared. 26 American.

In Sidon an orphanage residue of Syrian orphans. 150, many died Hard for Red Cross to get supplies ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p319.jpg) Australia has done much, but the financial help is coming from America now. It is a magnificent piece of work. Nothing could have been so truly horrible as to let these children die. Many of their mothers starved to death, fathers killed in war. In the aft We drove along the dog river the water was very murkey for it had rained the night before we Saw in the distance a Rowan Bridge. We climed up and saw at three different points f[--] figures ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p320.jpg) Sarmacheub. It is said that that Nap. III spoiled one- or the faded outlines of figures of men and a tablet by each one. Theis sculpturing in the rocks is very old our guide insisted 606 B. C. when Nebuchadnezzar was in Syria, Mr. Brown had spalsen of Alexander. In the afternoon we saw the work done by the girls at the orphanage near East Relief. It was lovely warm we brought a few handkerchiefs. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p321.jpg) The Antilgas Orphanage of the Near East Relief Mr Knudson Australian ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p322.jpg) Mrs. Ahmad Near East Relief.

He told us there was an oasis in the desert of date palms. Woman's intuition or something made me leave our appartment and look out just at the moment we got there. It is quite the largest grove of palms I had seen any where. We arrived in ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p324.jpg) Bethsada, and on to Capernaum. The Roman Catholics are putting up a convent or Casanova Inn where they take travellers in close to some very wonderful ruins. These ruins were most interesting. They are probably the ruins of a Jewish Synagogue that existed in the time of Christ. The colums are found which bespeak a very ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p325.jpg) proud and beautiful building acr archite architecterally, they had what might be called solomons seal, also Davids seal so they could be identified as belonging to the Jews.

Since that time they are building two story buildings. The city is attractive and very clean as I recall Italian towers. A good deal of hand work in evidence, we were told that one type of ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p337.jpg) handiwork was called the Sicillian specialty. Scicillian specialty. I know nothing of the private woes of those who suffered in the earthquake, but this I know, that the present condition of Mersena is not wt proves that the quake is not wholly to be regreted. It proves the old adage that then ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p338.jpg) is no great loss without some small gain, and the gain in this instance is the fact that we have almost a new city and modern city.

The whole country full of Hotels. March 14. We took what is known as the Grande Corniche ride Drive, a drive built by Napoleon I. It certainly is one of the most beautiful rides one can ever have. The flowers the tall cypriss trees, the magnolias the brilliant colored flowers among which ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F2_p344.jpg) a good many Cala lilies are soon are all most attractive.

On Thursday we visited the Borghese palace where we saw some exquisite statues by Canrova. The grounds are said to have been studied by the people who laid out Versailles. This was April 1, Anna and Amy gave me a bunch of Violets for my birthday. In the afternoon Anna and I went to the Barbererini gallery where the famous Beatrice Chenci is found. Friday we left for Naples. Saturday we visited the National gallery at Naples rich in products from Pompeii and Herculaneum, and the famous Farnes ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p009.jpg) Bull, the Flora, etc. next page first part was down the French Riviera as far as Vintimille, where we crossed the Italian border. The Mediterranean at my left was beautiful as always, we were in sight of it practically all the way. Along the road were many pretty Italian villas and flowers that were undoubtedly being grown for the perfume factory at Grasse. Soon we came in sight of some of these ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p010.jpg) The most exquisite piece of statuary taken from the ruins of Pompeii is the statue of Narcissus. Beautiful, a piece of art worthy the Greeks. We saw skeletons with rings on their fingers. We were amused when the guide showed us the tickets used for entrance to their wonderful amphitheatre where the sports were carried on. The tickets were given out and collected and used the next time. A skull was given to those who had complimentry tickets, the guide declared that that is where we get the expression, dead head ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p011.jpg) Italian Villas that are neither pink or red. Vilate said she would not attempt to tell the color. The cook guide said they were rose color. We reached the Hotel Londres. Continental Hotel about 6:30 p.m. Our room is no 33. This morning I looked out of our window and there I saw a statue that looked as though it might be the statue of Christopher Colombus. What a piece of good luck that we should come in Genoa chiefly because it is the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p012.jpg) or dead headed through. The women were given lovely cameos for a ticket and the Christians a fish. On one of our afternoons in Rome we visited the Rospig- lio Rospigliosi palace and saw the Aurora by Guido Reini once more. It had been touched up as things and paintings have been all over Europe. It was a sensible thing to restore it. The American Embassador has his quarters in this palace at the present time. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p013.jpg) birthplace of Colombus and it should be out of our window. It is now evening - the evening of the 18th of March and we have spent another wonderful day. I had no idea that Genoa had so much of interest for the tourist - but all Italy is like a deep well it seems almost impossible to get a plumb that will sound its depths. I am going to the window to see what the statue looks like tonight. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p014.jpg) There he stands a picture of supreme majesty- the discverer discoverer of the New World There it is on the square of Green Water It It looks so white as against the shades of night. Above it on the hills are beautiful buildings well lighted. They are terraced heights, and that with their bright lights some of them actually scarlet, form a wonderful setting for the statue of this man inspired of Almighty God. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p015.jpg) Genoa is the largest sea port town in Italy, It was no doubt providential that Colombus was born here, where he could see ships, it made him think of ships, in that way environment is always a force. Genoa, Italian Genova has something like 27 palaces that tell of the day when Gonoa Genoa was sufficient unto itself. It port is beautiful and it rises from the bay upon cem[-] circular hills. The forts on ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p016.jpg) the hills that surround it are interesting as they must have been very natural bulwarks in the days of constant attack. These palaces are used for city halls and museums The one used for the city hall shows in its hall ways its stair cases and trimmings that it was a palace. It has twelve beautiful pieces of tapestry representing the months of the year. Every where one sees statues of Mezzeni in Genoa. We were delighted with a group of Van Dyke pictures. In a special room ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p017.jpg) in the city hall we saw a letter written by Col- ombus to Genoa. The letter was written by him when he was in Spain Another part we have the violin of Paganini in a glass case, never to be used by any one until he too is the artist Paganini was. Genoa is proud of the fact that she gave birth to Christopher Colombus, Marco Polo, and Paganini. I think Melzenni was also a Genoese, look it up. We went through two two museums. The one ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p018.jpg) exhibits that pleased me most of all were some paintings by Van Dyke, and the facsimilies of the three ships that Colombus sailed in. We saw three churches one was made in the Moorish style of the with black and white marble stones. One had lovely frescos on the ceiling and a lot of gold in the trimmings, 17 century work. The other was the cathedral, at the back of the altar it had a lovely part painting of the stoning of St Stephen and of Peter being crucified with his head down. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p019.jpg) In the afternoon we visited the c The choir is somewhat attractive, they indicate to visitors where Paganini used to sit. The group of palaces give evidences of the power of Venice Genoa in the days when she was governed as was Venice by a Doge. The city has a very attractive park which was once private property belonging to one of their noble famalies nobel famalies - a family by the name of Dinegro; one gets a very splendid view of the city at its best point which includes the harbor. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p020.jpg) There were five hundred American tourists in Genoa to day 502 with Vilate and myself. They came to Rome with their Boston Cardinal and had an audiance with the Pope. Yet the most wonderful sight in Genoa is the cemetery called Campo Santo. Long arcades in every direction with tombs of wonderful marbel statue. Italy has made good use of her Carrara marbel marble. The central point is a Rotunda resembling the Pantheon. There Genoa's great dead rest. There one finds wonderful statues of Adam, Eve, Moses, etc. Vilate said there was more [written sideways in right margin] statuary than in all America. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p021.jpg) March 19, 1925 We reached Pisa shortly after 1 p.m. This moment it is 2:30 p.m. We are waiting for our guide. The Arno river runs through Pisa just as it does through Florence. I am writing this not the marble sill of our window here in Pisa. The sun is glittering on the river, a croud of 21 young men are Just below on the river's banks. One of them is singing it is the tenor a voice a minor Caruso. What is it Italy? Is it the mild salubriousness ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p022.jpg) of your climate, your vomited words or, your cheery disp romatic disposition that puts such music boxes into your throats? All the people girls and young men as I look at them are well dressed. What a wonder world Europe and America must be to the peoples of Northern Africa, Palestine, and Syria, where so many are in tatters. Ten young fellows in the grey coats of the Italian soldiers. Their capes fall upon their shoulders so gracefully; they carry themselves with the same grace ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p023.jpg) that an easterner carries himself on his camel or his donkey. Two policemen are passing in those very picturesque hats that policemen wear in Italy, and the black capes they too look very stately and very graceful. At 3 p.m. we started on our carriage drive, as we come to the open space between the Cathedral and the leaning tower, we saw a group of young fellows walking about just for fun it seemed they the guide told us that they were students of the University of Pisa. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p024.jpg) and "that they had nothing to do." Pisa as a University town makes one think of Goldsmith studing medicine here and of Italy's other University town Padua from which Portia came as a student of law. The Cathedral built in 1063 and conce consecrated in 1118, is built of Carrara Marble, the Carrara Marble quarries are close to Pisa, and much of the statuary made of Carrara marble is made there, chief industry of the town. The Cathedral is built in the Moorish style bl on the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p025.jpg) inside first a white and then a black stone. Its It is Romanesque style which gives it a very decorative effect, exceedingly, pretty. We climbed to the top of the Leaning Tower 14 feet out of plumb, build by the same individual who built the Cathedral and the Bapistery. We could not stand stand with our feet squarley against the leaning side of the Tower. The guide said that the people of Pisa were of the opinion that the Tower was built that way because some of its ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p026.jpg) floors one straight and some crooked, so that if nature had been responsible for the s fall they would all have been crooked. The guide said there were 300 steps to the top, we counted up and down but could not make it over about 256. When we reached the top we saw neat little plots of green flecked with daisies all about us. In the distance we could not distinguish the daisies but we knew they were there from the nearby plots. The Arno River just as beautiful as at Florence would ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p027.jpg) about through the green plots in very very graceful curves. We visited the round Baptistery with its lovely sculptured font. They used to baptise by immersion in that font. We saw in it the Sunna marble. There are six different colored Carrara marbles, the white being the most beautiful. The Baptistry is Romanesque in its style of architecture and very lacy. The Cemetery on the outside is beau called the Campo Santo is beautiful in its architectural design, founded 1203. 23 ships loads of soil were ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p028.jpg) brought from Jerusalem and placed there. What a crime to take soil from Jerusalem where the rocks jut up so terrible and take so much the place of the soil. There is a painting of the Last Judgment there that is the most grotesque painting I have ever seen of the last judgment. Snakes bound about the souls of the condemned, and the most hideous old Devil one has ever seen. The frescoes have been touched up a bit to preserve them. We saw a bronze griffin in the cemetery grounds that had been brought from ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p029.jpg) Constantinople. In the Cathedral we were shown a marble column brought by Pisan crusaders from Jersualem. The bronze doors were taken from the Church of San Sophia in Constantinople. But after all there is is nothing in this group of buildings so beautiful as the paintings in the Cathedral. Three by Andrea Del Sarto are especially beautiful. St Agnes is lovely beyond description with Del Sarto's usually gift in modeling and color, near the altar his others, Margaret and Catharine, Peter and ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p030.jpg) John both by Del Sarto. I do not recall seeing the <14> and 15 century pictures so close to the moderns as in this Church the loveliness of color in the 15 century could easily be discovered. The softness of the rose as against the modern attempt at rose which is almost scarlet is very noticeable. Some of the choir seats were decorated with inlai inlaid wood the work of a Catholic Church official, I believe the guide said a monk. There is also a painting in this Church of ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p031.jpg) Catharine de Medecci taking the veil after her expulsion from France; her Father was duke of Pisa. In the cemetery alcove was a chain used in the harbor of Pisa when it was a republic. independent. Genoa got hold of that chain they fought back and forth tha those chains causing an incredible number of wars. finally when Italy was united Genoa returned the chains to Pisa. I believe the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p032.jpg) guide said 18 wars but I am not certain. March 20, 1925 We remained in Rome eating L Pisa, eating luncheon at our hotel and taking the train at 6 p.m for Rome Arrived in Rome at 7 and went immediately to our hotel Ludovisi in Rome. March 21, 1925 Vilate and I walked to Cook's office in the morning and there I found a letter from Clifford telling what it would cost for him to come to Rome and visit us. I immediately ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p033.jpg) sent him $ 30. to Vienna. and a telegram from the Hotel telling him I had sent the money. In the afternoon Vilate and I went to a milinery shop where we had our hats touched up a bit. We went home, I washed my hair, put on my blue par Paris blouse, and went down stairs to wait for Amy Martain and Anna Allerton. At 7:30 they arrived. My but I was delighted. That night Vilate went to Anna and I slept had Amy. We talked about everything sh and she told me about getting Esther's glasses ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p034.jpg) and then paying for Joseph's (Cluffa) teeth to be fixed. March 22, 1925. Sunday. We visited St. Peter's Church in the morning. I saw once again the Transfiguration in Mosaic by Raphael, Michael With His Foot on the Devil by Guido Reni, and the Decent from the Cross by Michael Angelo. I had seen them all before, they were even more beautiful than before, the years had increased my appreciation for the wonderful color values of the mossaics: ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p035.jpg) but what interested me in particular was the chuch processions, the chanting of the crowds as they came in marking to each altar. and sometimes kneeling before altars, and every once and awhile changing the words of their chant. In the afternoon we visited the Coloseum. Marvelous. most marvelous. that great amphitheatre that seated 50 thousand people. We sat there and heard a group of boys evidently singing fah facheste songs I have speeled the underlined word not as it is really ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p036.jpg) spelled by but as the Italians pronounce it. Dinner over we visited in Vilate's and Anna's room talking much mainly about Egypt and then went to bed. Sept March 23. Went to Cooks in morning, in the afternoon that is the early afternoon March 23, 1925 We went to Cooks, there I found a letter from Clifford telling me he had started from Vienna and gone to Basel. I got on the wire and asked for return telegrams. By ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p037.jpg) evening I had two telegrams, one from the office and the other from Clifford. Clifford said he would arrive in Rome on Tuesday evening. In the afternoon we looked at the famous Foot of the Stairs for seed Pearls. We found some lovely silk shawls. As we were coming home we saw a procession of Roman Catholic priests with both red and blue attached to their black gown. I counted 186, and still they were coming: these are these are the things that Holy year ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p038.jpg) has added to Rome. At 5 p.m we went to a Super Cinema to see a new production by an Italian of Quo Vadis. The hero was very fine, the burning of Rome excellent and the scene of throwing the Christians into the Arena and of the wild beasts pouncing upon them and eating them was one of the most truly wonderful and realistic scenes I have ever witnessed. The leading lady was exceptionally beautiful and when she was seen in the Arena strapped ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p039.jpg) to the back of the bull which her lover pin finally succeeded in pinning to the floor it was very wonderful. Of course the meat meeting of Christ and Peter on the Appian way, wh Apian way whence came to question Quo Vadis was most effective. The moving picture house was very beautiful. Here as in London, Paris, Egypt, Beyrouth, Douglas Fairbanks and Jakie Coogan are advertised. March 24 We went to Cooks to see why one man came so late ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p040.jpg) got things straightened out for the next day. In the afternoon we went to through perhaps the best city park in Rome and visited the Exhibit of Modern Art very beautiful. The picture of a mother with a child in her arms called Maturnity was the most strickin striking statue of that theme I have ever seen. The Statue of a girl in a ragged dress playing the concertina and a very lovely bronze relief of a dead miner being carried home ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p041.jpg) impressed me greatly. Amy and I bought some candy on our way home, it did seem good to be with youngster who likes to eat Candy. Clifford reached us tonight, March which is the evening of March 24, he looks fine. seems very young still. we were glad to see him. He is anxious now his mission is over to see get home but we were glad to detain him in Rome for a brief visit. March 25 At 9:30 the Laudeau the name given our carriage stopped at our hotel and five of us started our trips ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p042.jpg) Passing through the Amelian Walls, a wall of the 3 century built by Marcus Aurelius we drove to the Pincian hill for a moment and there got a view of the plazza Piazza del Popolo. one of the most famous pe piazzas in Rome. the place of the people. The Egyptian obelisk one of fifteen that adorn Rome is was brought from the temple of the Sun in Heliopolis Egypt, and by Augustus to ornament the Circus Maximus andn was erected 1326 years B.C. It contains two ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p043.jpg) dates those of 1326 and 1287. The Chuch of S. Maria de Popolo contains From there we turned to the Church of Santa Maria. The Caraffa Chapel in the right transept is frescoed by Filippino Lippi in 1487. Under the high altar one sees the shrine of St Catherine of Siena by Isaia of Pisa and on the left is the Christ by Michelangelo. On our drive to the Pantheon we came to a most exquisite fountain Neptune and the horses thence to the Pantheon, the one building left in tact from the time of ancient Rome. [Written sideways in right margin] named Trevi ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p044.jpg) It was built in 27 B.C by Agrippa, the friend of Augustus Caesar. It was destroyed several times by but always reconstructed, the last time by the Emperor Hadrian. Its wonderful round dome. The diameter is 124 feet and its height is the same. The light is let in through an apeture in the dome; the wonderful dome that gave Michelangelo his idea for the Dome of St Peters. A circular apeture in the center of the dome is the only means of admitting light. Italys Great Victor Emmanuel is buried there and his son, Umberto. [Written in between the lines] Heathen Gods were in the nitches until they turned it into a Christian Church, then they put Christian images. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p045.jpg) The grand son Victor Emmanuel is now the reigning king of of Italy, he was reigning when I was here in 1906. We passed the column of Marcus Aurelius which has been restored. The Christians put a statue of St. Paul at the top of it. We From there we were on our way to the Capatoline Hill. The Capatoline Hill overlooks the Forum. We first went through the museum, which is one of the rarest of museums to be found in the world, on account of its great number of originals. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p046.jpg) This collection was begun or it initiated y by Pirus 5 in 1870 1570, The Upstairs one sees the cabinet of the doves Doves so called from the elegant mosaic found in Hadrian's Villa; it represents doves on the edge of a basin drinking water. Then we went into the room where the Capitoline Venus is found. This is the second of the three great Venuses, the Venus De Milo, the Capitoline Venius Venus and the Venus of Florence called the Venus de Medeeci. Cupid and Psyche, and Lida and the Sivan. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p047.jpg) A wonderful group of the busts of Roman Emperors. Hall of the Philop Philosophers. Socrates, Homer, The marble Farin of Hawthorne the Dying Gaul, so long called the dying gladiator, Head of Alexander the Great etc. The Form Forum which served as a meeting place for the people to discuss business, commerce and politics They used to come from the Hills about. Here one sees the broken columns which were parts of the very beautiful temples or churches ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p048.jpg) the Romans used to build to their gods, of magnificent columns. Here are proud a few of the proud columns of the Temple of Saturn and of Castor and Pollox. The two platforms, one close to the museum the one fartherest from it where Anthony addressed the mob. At the left hand corner the arch of Septimius Serveus , and nearby the Senate house. The platform nearest is said to be the one where Cicero delivered his orations. After a while the Romans grew so numerous that there was need for other forums, which ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p049.jpg) sprang up at different places. On our return we visited the famous column of Trajan in tact, but with the statue of St Peter at the top rather than that of Trajan. We passed the monument to Victor Emmanuel the II with its beautiful golden horse and rider, the largest equestrian ho statue in existence. In 1906 when I visited Rome only the base jutted up for a number of feet. The guide said to us when that monument is ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p050.jpg) finished it will be worthy a place with the great monuments of Ancient Rome. Surely he spoke the truth. it has a commanding place, is most beautiful in its conception and in its details. The sculptured column that runs across it is indescribably lovely, while the white marble glistens in the sunshine takes on always beautiful takes on an added scheene as the sun strikes it. Here the Italian unknown soldier is buried. There is no place in Italy where he could ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p051.jpg) be in a prouder place or in prouder company but it lacks the touch the French have given. Luncheon over we drove immediately to the Colosseum. We have spoken already of our first visit to the Colosseum, always impressive, always wonderful. one of the sights and majestic monuments of old Rome. much material has been taken from it to build other things. The guide told us when here before that part of the Barbarini palace was built of it and the plaisa Ven[-]zia ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p052.jpg) see Guide of Rome for details of Colosseum. Interesting to note that from 1490 to 1540 used for miracle plays. The Triumphal Arch of Constantine perhaps the best constructed arch in Rome is close to the Colosseum and very interesting. The Sculptured pa[---]ls and columns that form these arches are beautiful. It is a symbol of the end of paganism and the antique world. The guide pointed out to us the position of Nero's golden house. After the poor wretch had set Rome on fire and blamed it on to the Christians he ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p053.jpg) built the Golden House, the architects Celerus and Severus were commanded to build a residence worthy of the Lord of the World. The walls being adorned with frescoes and stuccoes gave it the name of the Golden House. See Guide for details. Near at hand was the one sees the ruins of Circus of Maxentius. From these Colo[---] ruins we went out through the Roman Gates once again the old Amelian walls to the church of St Paul. This is a very lovely church, built ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p054.jpg) supposedly over the tomb of the apostle Paul on the remains off older Churches. It was begun about 1827 and was not completed in 1870. However the Italian government helped out with it. Its lovely white marble columns on the inside its beautiful white marbel floor that keep clean in Rome are delightful. The mosaic madallions of the Popes, are all about <266,> and some very lovely paintings The windows are of white glass making it much lighter the stained glass windows ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p055.jpg) We walked through the Holy Door at St Paul's, not open on 25 years. We have four were shaken out. We have had two guides and they both expressed themselves as feeling that the absence of the stained glasse windows took away the churches feeling and look. The cloisters at the back of the church dating from the 13 (1214) century are exquisite. twisted marbel columns set with mossaic of gold and blue alternating with straight columns. To be sure scenes in the life of St Peter are depicted in this church It is a favorite of most [the following is written sideways in right margin] to walk through them we strolled have complete indulgence ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p056.jpg) It is called the Church of St Peter in Vincoli visitors. We visited on our way out to St. Paul's Church the Church of Michaelangelo's ma magnificent Moses. In this Church are beautiful pieces of Lapis Lazuli and Russian Malachite marble Lapis Lazuli has gold streaks running through it. When we arrived at the spot where the famous Moses is, for the second time I looked at that beautiful piece of statuary, it seemed seems to have gained much since I looked at it in 1906. The ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p057.jpg) guides told us that there is a story extant in Rome to the effect that when Michael Angelo surveyed his work that he was so satisfied with his Moses, that he struck it upon the knee and commanded it to speak. There is a crack upon the knee which indicates where it was struck. In this same Church one sees the orig original of of Michael with his foot on the Devil of Guido Reni. There was also here the Mummie of a fre monk in monks attire, with a light in front of it we were ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p058.jpg) told that he is to be Canonized a saint during the coming Jubillee Celebration at Easter. When we in one of these On our way back we visited in the Protestant Cemetery of Rome the graves of S Keats in one corner of the cemetery and back nearer the place we entered on a raise of ground the grove of Shelley. There were flowers on Shelley's grave. English and American people visiting often place flowers on the graves ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p059.jpg) of these three men. March 26 In the morning we stopped at a Church built over the swimming pool of a Roman Bath. In the circle of one of their lovliest fountains where Cooks Office is The Semi Circle was used by the Roman's as a meeting place, the buildings forming this lovely plazza are built on the old Roman foundation We saw some of the paintings referring to baptism copied in mosaic in the Church of St Peter. Then ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p060.jpg) we drove to St Peters. The colonades, four abreast were taken many of them from the ruins of Ancient Rome. St Peters has its one central Dome and I think six smaller domes, and is better lighted than most churches. The wonder beautiful papal altar which is said to be placed over the grave of St Peter was made in the main from bronze taken from the roof of the Pantheon. Down the flight of stairs just beneath the floor level of the Church is V a statue of one of the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p061.jpg) Popes kneeling before the grave of St Peter, it is a a by Conova. The oldest bell weighing has been hanging since the 13 Century. St Pete The mosaics in St Peters are a marvel and a wonder in the faithfulness of their production. Raphael and Michael Angelo are there and als Guido Rein, Reni, St making St Peter's one of the art centers of the world. This is the Jubill Jubilee year and the Porta Santa ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p062.jpg) is opened we went through it with a big procession we must go through the doors in four other Churches before we can have complete indulgence. Near the descent of the Cross by Michael Angelo is a pillar brought to St Peters, it is said from Jerusalem and claimed by some to be in Solomon's Temple. We visited the paintings of Raphael, that is his gratest the Madonna and the Transfiguration in the Vatican Museum Collection. In the afternoon we drove immediately to the Quirinal ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p063.jpg) Palace. Going up the stairs we noted how effectively the plants were placed. The King of Italy has inherited the palace from the time of the Popes. It is rich in beautiful tapesteries framed in glass and gold in beautiful frescoes on the wall and the lovliest possible chandeliers of Venetian glass. The private appartments once occupied by the late King Umberto are were the richest that we saw. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p064.jpg) all of the real palaces I have ever seen are places where beautiful art collections have been made. From the palace we went to the Church of St Maria degli Angeli or The story goes that a man dreamed that he was to build a Chuch to the Virgin Mary This Church is one of the Roman baths that was turned into the Church. In this Chuch Victor Emmanuel III was married and in this Church Salvator Rosa the great painter is buried. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p065.jpg) It is a thousand pities that the Italians did not keep more of these places of baths insted We visited the Church of Scala Santa having the steps always mounted on ones knees. As this is the period of pilgrimage to Rome we saw many people mounting these steps on their knees and saying a prayer and kising the steps as they go up. These stairs are supposed to have been brought from Jerusalem Sancta This Church of Scala Santa has gold flowers on its ceiling it is said that was said by the guide we had in 1906 that 70 tons of the first gold from brought from South ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p066.jpg) America after the discovery of America was used to decorate the ceiling of this Church. They are the supposed to be stairs from the home of Pontius Pilate, bought by Queen Helena the mother of Constantine in the year 326, the pirlgrims think the blood of Christ is on these steps and they kiss them. At the head of the stairs is a the Chapel of S. Lorenzo, called the Sancta Sanctorum that the pilgrim looks at through bars In 1906 our guide told us he had seen Pious 9, go up these stairs on his knees. These are the stairs Martin Luther was mounting, ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p067.jpg) when he declared The Just shall Live by Faith. Lastly we visited the Church of St John Lateran, where Leo XIII is buried according to his wish. The story goes that because of the vicisitudes through which the early churches passed, that of St. Peter and St. Paul that their bones becam were so they could not be identified, so that they separated the bones and sent part of t them to St. Paul's Church and part to St Peters buring a part in each of the respective Churches, and that the skulls of each ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p068.jpg) were taken to St. John Lateran. They have one of the Popes on whose face they have placed a mask, and then he is dressed in the rich robes in which the Pope is buried. Leo XIII has only lately been moved from the place in St Peters to his resting place in St John Lateran. This Church has the bronze doors taken from the Roman Senate in the forum. In the portico of this Church is a statue of Emperor Constantine taken from his bath on the Quirinale hill. There is found in the crypt of this Church a lovely ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p069.jpg) statue by Carnova of the Descent from the Cross. This is one of the four churches with the holy door, through which pilgrims are passing this year. Before the tomb of St. Peter in St Peters Church is a beautiful statue of one of the Popes by Canova. After Michael Angelo and I think I like Canova's sculpture best. Now we have the four churches through which troops of pilgrims are passing this year all the time. First St. Peters, second, St. Paul, third St John Lateran, fourth, Maria Maggiore, and ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p070.jpg) after they have gone through these four holy doors they are granted complete indulgence. The third day we drove first to the Janiculum Hill where we got a very good view of Rome and her seven hills. On this At this point where the view is especially good one sees the quarter where the Christians lived in Rome, and just behind us was located the Circus of Nero where Christians were burned to death. Christians met their death in the Arena. On this hill is a beautiful white monument placed there by Italians living in South America ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p071.jpg) For the names of other seven hills see guide. Then we drove to the Vatican that treasury of painting and sculpture and beautiful presents made to the Popes. Here we find the two most important of Raphael's paintings in Rome the Madonna of Foligno, originally painted for for the Church of S. Maria in Ara Coeli and the Transfiguration of Christ. The last and best of his works now in Rome left unfinished at his death and finished by Giulio Romano. See guide page 90 by A.D. Yani. The Vatican library has in it 300,000 printed works in Latin. 20,000 in Greek and as many more in Oriental languages besides more than 2000 volumes ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p072.jpg) of archives and registers. 4 the case contains the Vatican Codex and the 5th case some of the most beautiful of the illuminated manuscripts. The frescoes on the chapel of Paris V are by Vasari. Of course here as in all the palaces we have seen there are wonderful tapestries these are Flemish. France and Flaunders are the two countries that produce tapesteries. Passing through the apartments of Raphael, which are not so interesting as paintings as his marvellous group of Madonnas we come to the much revered sistine chapel. Michaelangelo painted here from 1508 to 1512. Here on the ceiling we have the famous frescoes of the Creation, the Fall, the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p073.jpg) Flood and on the borders above the windows the prophets and the sybils. After the famous ceiling which is were nigh a miracle in technique we have the Last Judgment. containing incidents in the life of Moses The walls on the left of the Last Judgment contain frescoes with incidents in the life of Moses. The Last Judgment uncovered by Michelangelo in 15 36 41. It is divided into 11 episodes, above on each side are angels with the symbols of the Passion; a little below and in the center is Christ the terrible Judge, and beside him are saints male and female with the attributes and instruments of their martyrdom ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p074.jpg) Below these and almost in the center of the painting is a group of seven angels sounding the trumpets of the Resurrection. To the left are the souls in Purgatory and on the right the lost. In the lower lines we see Charon in his boat on the river Styx; on the left the Resurrection, and on the right Hell. This picture has always been greatly admired by students of painting it is often something of a disappointment to the casual looker-on. The 50 pictures that form the formed the foundation of the Vatican collection of pictures were taken from various parts of Italy to Paris by Napoleon I then returned and placed in the Vatican. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p075.jpg) In the court of the Belvedere we find many of the most interesting a valuable pieces of sculpture in the Vatican Museum. The Great Popes of the Renaissance Julius II Leo X Clement VII and Paul III had already commenced to get together many antique works of Rome and Greece. There is One notices a basket of flowers, found in Roma Vecchia on the Appian Way. The sarcophagus on the right was once the too contained the body of St. Helena, Mother of Constantine the Great. The large and very valuable porphyry basin over 40 feet in circumference in the center of the room is from the Baths of Titus. There is a very magnificent ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p076.jpg) head of Jupiter here. The two heads, Hermes heads representing Comedy and Tragedy are most interesting. They came from Hadrian's Villa. The Hall of the Muses The contains wonderful statue of the muses. There are in this hall 16 columns brought from Hadrians Villa. There are statues of the 9 muses and the heads of Plato, Periander Alcibiades, Bias, Pericles. In the gallery of statues the statue of the Sleeping Ariadne attracted much attention. Again and again we have seen this in one gallery after another. In the Court of the Belvedere a very round and beautiful Court we saw the in the Cabnet of the Laocoon the original. Here we have ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p077.jpg) the Priest of Neptune who together with his two sons is strangled on the altar of the god, by two serpents sent by Neptune himself. This group in a greek work of about 50 B.C. by Agesander, Polydoros and Athenodoros of Rhodes and was found in the Golden House of Nero in 1506. Then we have here also the Cabinet of the famous Apollo, Belvedere, the most beautiful statue of a man that Rome contains. The only other statues com- parable are the statues of the Hermes to be found in Athens. Our last afternoon with our guide we rode down the Appian Way, and saw ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p078.jpg) In the Church of Quo Vadis, one is shown a foot print said to be the foot print of Christ. the ruins of the old tombs along the way. The Tomb of Mett Caecilla Metella, which is the best preserved on the path. The Church of Quo Vadis or S. Maria della Piante, is a small church. At this place it is said Peter met Christ on the way when he was escaping from Rome from the persecutions of Nero, Suprised at the meeting he asked Whither goes thee. He replied to be crucified anew for the flock You are deserting, and Peter returned. The Catacombs of St Cali [---] <[---]> are here, there is suposed to be an image of St C[---] here. When in Rome in 1906 when we went into the Catacombs of St Celia they also showed ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p079.jpg) us her grave. The Baths of Cara- calla, which a guide told us 1906 were the largest ruins in Rome, are immense. They have planted trees inside and they form a small city park. The interesting part about these baths is that some of the choices gems of art such as the Farnese Bull the Hercules of Glycon, and the Flora were found here and are now to be seen in the National Museum at Naples. The Church of St. Maria The C Maggiore, a chuch dedicated to the Most Holy Virgin. Story tus of the man who told the Pope the Virgin Wanted a Church etc. The Peace Virgin is here put there by the Pope who died during the war. This church contains gold on its ceiling ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p080.jpg) it is gilded with the first gold sent by Columbus from the newly discovered America. Our guide in 1906 told us there was 70 tons on it. We took our drives with our guides in Rome on Tuesday Mach 24 Wed Mach 25, Thurs. Mar 26. On Saturday we hunted up the American Consul in Rome this was Mach 28, He was very cordial and gave us a letter to the Head of the American College stating that we would like very much to have an audiance with the Holy Father. The head of the college was a young man, very cordial. Rome is full of Colleges where Roman Catholic Priests are being educated for the ministry. We asked him about the ettiquette for the occassion, and ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p081.jpg) he said we must dress in black and that when we must wear a black Mantilla over our heads and that when the Pope entered the room we should kneel and if he came towards us should kiss his ring or at least feign to do so. We took the card of admission given us went up to the usual entrance a to the Vatican, and passing the Swiss guards in their Motley suits we came into a room where they were making assignments. This was Saturday March 28. Monday Sunday 29, a note came to our hotel saying we would be received in audiance on Monday at 1 pm. We had an early luncheon, and Vilate dressed us up. I wore her dress which was long in which some black ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p082.jpg) cupe de chine had been raked in the top to pull it up high enough in the neck and a frill put on the sleeves. The other girls were dressed accordingly. We then took a taxi and drove out to St Peters. On our way we stopped at the little shop to get our Mantillas. We certainly were a dowdy looking crowd. We passed the Swiss guards, and were admitted into a large room with polished floors. Very soon one of the special attendants for the occassion dressed in a very handsome crimson suit of brown trousers came and by a slight bow indicated that he wished us to follow him. We wondered why we should be so honored But we went forward into a much more elegant room ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p083.jpg) with beautiful rugs on the floor. A second time this same attendant came and indicated that he wished us to move. We stepped into another room. He placed us just where we could see the Pope when he moved into the first room. This room was the most elegant we were in. We had an opportunity to watch arrangements. A number of young fellows 4 placed the metal cap upon their heads with horse hair flowing from it They stood like statues they were the special guards. As the clock struck the hour the papal secretary in very gorgeous costume appeae appeared, and immediately after him Pope Pius or Pio as the Italians write it XI. He was in white with a small ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p084.jpg) white cap over the part usually shaved on the Monks head. He wore his chains with the keys of St Peter. The Coat of Arms of the Vairl Vatican always contains the keys of St Peter also usually the tripple crown and the keys are seen in the Vatican seal. He passed into the room before us. Then as he entered our room everybody knelt. He took hold of ones hand with is four fingers. One finger contained the ring with the famous blue stone. Then persons kissed or feigned to kiss it as they chose. The Roman Catholics kissed it reverently and the Protestants behaved in such a way that there was no embarrassment in the matter. Sunday ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p085.jpg) Our audiance with the Pope was Monday March 30. Sunday we visited Hadrians Villa at Tivoli marvelous it was Hadrian that taking a native to the Greek art brought so much of it to Tivoli to adorn his Villa. Expansive and magnificent were both the buildings and the grounds. We kicked the sand away and saw there in many instances the original Roman Mosaic used for the floor. The slaves appartments were in a basement and they saw nothing save their dingy old corridors as the slits for light were high above them. Here Hadrian placed some of the very rarest piece of Greek art, brought from Greece that the world now possess. Some of these ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p086.jpg) treasures were taken later to the baths of Caricalla and later found their way into the National Museum at Naples and into the Various Museums at Rome, such as the Capitoline Museum and the Vatican Collection. On our way back from Rome we visited the Villa D'Este. This Villa D.Este was built by one of the sons of Lucretzia Borgia. The Pope did not know the father of the child. He called one of Lucrecia's lovers and told him he must father the child. After a while he showed such talent, he was advanced in the Church, this place is often used in Italy for moving pictures. Hawthorne has described it and its magic organ in the Marbel Fawn. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p087.jpg) Turn to page 1, for the rest of the account. April 5, 1925 We took a boat in the morning and went to the famous Isle of Capri with the bay of Naples on one side and the bay of Salerno on the other. We went through the famous Blue Grotto. Nowhere is the sea blue so thoroughly enchanting as here. Just how this blue comes to me no one seems to know exactly; it just is and as one goes through the Grotto entrance to the grotto with the little shrine above him. he is perhaps impressed mostly with true things. first, the dexterity with ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p088.jpg) which the boatman takes one into the grotto the blueness and butuuty of the blueness bath overhead and beneath. On the Salerno side of the Island one sees the two great rocks through which. Ulysses sailed on his Ulysses sailed on his return from the Trojan war. The mermaids or cyrens sang such lovely songs that he was forced to strap his people into the ship. Close by is the point where Tiberius Caesar built his Villa. Tiberius Caesar lived very much on the Isle of Capri. On ones way from Capri Naples to Capri one comes in contact ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p089.jpg) with a ledge. Tradition has it that Tiberius Caesar used to invite people to feast with him in his Villa then pitch them over into the Sea. We lunched at Capri. Sea sort of rough. Reached Sorrento, where we had a very splendid room overlooking the bay. We enjoyed our dinner that night, saw the old Protestant minister related to everyone of importance in America Boston, the Lowells, the Peabodys and last of all Pierpont Morgan. But we repaid in the morning. Opposite us we saw Vesivius Vesuvius at the best possible advantage ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p090.jpg) a clear sky, lo a lovely calm blue bay and there was the mountain belching forth coils of white smoke that made a trail along the sky for a great distance, occassionally we saw tints of pink and dark tints such as one sees in peals in this smoke. We visited Pompeii Then we took the famous Amalfi drive, along the Mediterranean, with that lovely sea before us most of the time. This was only broken once and awhile by the stretch of the plains, knr on ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p091.jpg) either side of the mountains known as the Neapolitan Alpes. These plains are vast and present quite the opposite view to what one gets in Palestine. It was easy to see how ancient Rome could support a very large population in these valleys. At noon we lunched at the very grateway of the City of Pompeii. We heard three Italian singers sing Santa Lugia, and that Listen Listen Joy song, and Soul of Mine. We went through Pompeii. The ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p092.jpg) wonder all grows, the strangnest stranginess of the chared bread baking when the trouble came. 79 A.D. Go to guide for details. Considerable more of the city has been excavated since I saw it in 1906. it is a splendid piece of work the Italian government is doing. Then we drove back to Naples. To be sure some of the way was past some of the finest Villas we have seen at all but most of us it indicated that Italy has not grasped the modern problems ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p093.jpg) of caring for food. April 8 7 1925. From Naples to Assissi It consumed a day. We had a stop in Rome of an hour or so and I wrote in the morning in the afternoon we I visited the Aquarium, at Naples, one of the best extant, though not one of the largest. It contains fish and plant life from the Mediterranian some farms very beautiful such colorful plants, red orr pink etc that it makes a lovely sea garden. The thing that interested most of all was the octopus. One does not ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p094.jpg) often see an ocpatus ocpatus. Then we went to a height, som where a monastery was once located. From this point we got a very fine view of the Bay of Naples, it was from at this point that the poet is said to have written "See Naples and Die" April 8th, 1925 The entire day coming from Naples to Assisi. This is the town where St Francis the man who founded the Franciscan order of monks was born where he wrought his ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p095.jpg) miracles and died Both St Francis and St. Sebastian occupy a very great place in the life of the Roman Catholic. St. Francis is said to have wrough miracles, prayed for water for a thirsty man and struck a rock and water came forth etc. I April 9, 1925 A delightful day. I got up early and in glorious sunlight walked from the Hotel Subasio to the Church of Our Lady down in the valley. It is a quaint little town of the middle ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p096.jpg) ages, everything seemed so familiar, every flower I picked might have been picked from the streets of Provo, proving that we are in the same longitude as Rome. But the town is quaint Midaevall Medievael, The houses where the poor pople live are huddled together in a very unsightly fashion; these houses know nothing of modern conveniences. But as one looks over the town there is every evidence of its Roman Catholicism. There ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p097.jpg) are little shrines in the houses, over the drinking fountain a shrine or washing fountain a picture of the Madonna. In the gate of the city wall a religious picture, this week Holy week with a light under it. Now two things have come together to make Assisi interesting, the marvelous stories told about the life of St Francis, the famous paintings on the Church connected with the Franciscan Monastery ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p098.jpg) by Grotto. Grotto has painted the life of St Francis, it is on Francis on the walls of the Church. There are other paintings in the Church by Giotto. The guide drew our attention to the beautiful coloring, saying one might fancy they had been done yesterday but they were done in the 15 Century. I We were right by the Monastery in our Hotel, the old cloisters showed up, and one had a big rock. The monks of St Francis were of a self sacrificing group ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p099.jpg) and probably some of them slip on the rock to be found in the Cloisters. For the first time in my life I saw the inside of a monastery. The dinning room after the usual style. I have seen them in Oxford Cambridge and in Cambridge England. Massachussetts. A long hall with rather gothic a gothic roof. The interesting thing was the portraits in oil of 22. Pope all of the Franciscian order. In town is a Down the long path that winds through ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p100.jpg) vineyards, vineyards that are well kept and grow artichokes as well as grapes. At perha nearly a mile and a half distance making two is the classic Dome of Our Lady of the Church within it is a little chapel. This is supposed to mark the spot where St Francis was di was born did his work and died. He is buried in the Church by the monastry. I got up early on the Thursday of passion week we had been wakened by ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p101.jpg) very lovely chimes early in the morning. I walked made this long walk to go into a very elaborate service I have never seen an altar lighted as that altar was lighted. Over one 100 candles in the front of the altar and many persons in the group with big lighted candles. All were kneeling befor the altar as I went in. They do some cross work here. Very beautiful in many colors all the designs are taken from Grotto. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p102.jpg) Priests on every hand and some Nunns. There are four priests before me at this moment. I have seen a good many Nunns also. One little sign on the street corner shows the difference in language. In plain unimpassioned English a little sign said a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The Italian read A Society for Compassion to Pa[---] Beastie. We left Assisi shortly after one o'clock for Florence We passed Ferngia on ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p103.jpg) the way. One often reads of Perugia. Then we came to Arrezzo. That is where Browning's Villian lived the Villian of The Ring and the Book. We reached Florence at near 6 o'clock We were booked for the Albion Hotel, but Florence was so crowded that we were taken to the Porta Rossa, The Portal of Rosses that should please any one. Florence teams with memories with beauty and and some ugly patches April 12, 1925 This is Easter Sunday ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p104.jpg) The Church Bells are chiming but not so beautifully as in Asi Assisi the home of San Francisco, the peace man from whom San Francisco took its name. St Francis the founder of the Franciscian order of Monks must have been had a very great personality. To day in the Church of the Holy Cross the guide pointed out a pulpit from which he preached, not a dry eye under his preaching. But I was writing about my Florence ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p105.jpg) Two cities say the little introductory paragraph by Cooks have been leaders in Art and Letters. Athens and Florence. Yesterday which was April 11, 1925 we walked with the guide from the hotel to that beautiful artiche. Architectureal group consisting of the Dumo the Baptistery and the lovely tower of the Campanile. They are the friends of that wonderful movement the Italian Renaissance. Sometimes of these Churches were built before the renaissance following the classic ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p106.jpg) school of architecture but new remodelled in the classic Renaissance style. Italy has not built Churches because she had marble but her Churches are of incomparable lovliness because she had it. She has not decorated her Churches because she had artis These marble Churches She might have had beautiful Churches even if she had not given rise to so many architects of the first rank and there might have been attractive frescos on ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p107.jpg) the walls but not such Churches not such paintings, without the great architects. For Florence is the birthplace birth place of Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio, Galileo, Michael Angelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Benvenuto Cellini and Andrea del Sarto. There is much in Cooks observation that while ancient Athens is in ruins Florence is here with all its traditions its buildings and its paintings. for it not only had its own group but Giotto came there to paint ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p108.jpg) Looking at the lovely frescoes of Giotto in the Church of Sancta Sante Croce, depicting the life of St Francis. I thought Johnson's Boswell-Johnson perhaps will may or may not have been fortunate in Boswell but St Saint Francis fortunate beyond measure in Giotto. At noon on Saturday we saw the Medicis car, it is a tall old car, that was probably used in some of their victories looks not a in a small measure ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p109.jpg) like the towers that the Chinese place on their houses. It was brought in front of the cathedral the lovely cathedral that has a dome that may have assisted Michael Angelo to build the Dome of St Peters. The famous Dum Duomo opposite the Baptistery. The Baptistery with bronze doors scarcely equalled elsewhere in the world. They tells us in Florence that when Michael Angelo gazed upon these doors he said they were so beautiful they should be called ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p110.jpg) the Gates of Paradise. The Duomo is built of marble with slabs of a sort of sea green and pink let in. The Italian guide can seldom say exquisite he says squisite in his own fashion and it actually makes the thing more exquisite This 12 Century Car was brought in drawn by two span of Oxen between the Duomo and the baptistry. At noon a pigeon was supposed to fly from the car to the Cathedral. A fleur de Lise was on top. Then the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p111.jpg) fire works began banging. It brought the crowd together from all over Tuscany. The popular superstition being that if the pigeon flys the crop will be good if it fails they will be bad. It was not much of a ceremony but at least we saw an Italian crowd come together just as the American comes for a circus. April 12. 1925 Easter in Florence In 1911 I spent it in Canterbury. The music ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p112.jpg) was better in the English Cathedral. But if there are persons who think the Church of England has not relinquished much ceremony they should witness what we saw in the Duomo yesterday. The Cardinal of Florence led the procession. He w wore his great cap and great cloak. Two men behind carried the cloak. Finally he arrived in the chair that might just as appropriately be called a throne The men about him changed his vestiments ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p113.jpg) of course according to symbol. Very soon he was in white with a tall white cap. Behind him were bishops I suppose in these great white su[-]p[-]ees all embroidered in gold It was a very interesting and colorful church pageant but it did seem such a mockery. Nothing that I have ever seen looked so much like pomp and show exhaulting themselves. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p114.jpg) and man exhalting himself as in the case of this Cardinal. Yet of course that is the place where man dare be pompus when he assumes in a wrong spirit to represent God. Such stuff would surely please the Devil if what we have heard of him is correct. April 13. This morning I looked at the famous tower of Giotto or to use ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p115.jpg) the language of the Florentine the Campanilli It is surprisingly lovely. We visited the Pitti Gallery, which is also the Royal Appartment in Florence. We have seen paintings since coming to Florence of the three great Florentine artists, Giotto, Leonardo Di Vinci and Michael Angelo. [-] Yet perhaps one is delighted began realizes what a wealth of tallent was here Centinal. The Paintings of Raphael with his ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p116.jpg) famous Madonas the most popular being the Madona of the Chair the paintings of Andrea Del Sarto and Bati are engage one. As we went up the stairs we saw a lovely painting of Narcissus looking into the pond. The modeling was fine but what held the interest above all else was the wonderful coloring. As we came back we stood and looked at Gi broze bronze doors once again. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p117.jpg) Florence had two tremendous leaders Lerenzo de Medicci and Savanorola, and these two men inspire inspired so that she came the second city in the world in art. God never blesses a community so richly as when she sends great leaders, and no nation or community is so cursed as the one that is without leadership. We saw a little painting of the sister of Napoleon a miniture. She was exquisitely beautiful. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p118.jpg) The Florentines did better modeling than the Venetian painters, not such good colorists, and yet Andra Del Sarto, and the lovely blue of the head dress of the Madonna The Royal appartments are like others, rich in paintings, sculpture, everything that makes beautiful, marvelous inlaid tables etc. but no knowledge of modern comforts. The Bath room had two pieces of Sculpture but no hot water tap evident. Well, it ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p119.jpg) is not Of course they could be put in now, but that is as it was made, ah well it is not fair to ask one group of people to do everything. April 14 Visited the Academy of Arts. Mchael Angelos David that stood so long on the square near where Savonarola was beheaded is there. Around it are copies of his other great works. The Christ, the Descent from the Cross and the Muses of Rome ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p120.jpg) move my right side and when someone turned me over I all almost screamed with pain. Fortunate me, Amy is with me and she gave me a bath and a alcohol rub and I took some asperin tablets and the next morning I felt a good deal better. April 18 In bed all morning reading Power's new book on the Art of Florence. It is the most engaging on Art book I have ever read, I mean on art. In the afternoon we visited the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p121.jpg) monastery at Certosa. We w rode through rice field for about an hour finally arriving at Certossa di Pavia a Carthusian Monastery founded in 1396 by Gian galeazzo Visconti The monastic buildings were furnished about 1450 while the Church originally began as a purely Gothic building was continued after 1453 by Guiniforte Solari in the Lombard style, with exterior arcades and elaborate terracotta ornamentation. This church like most other chuches in Italy has brought together ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p122.jpg) in its construction precious marbles of many colors and many varieties and precious stones. It has some very fine paintings and some very fine floors. The ivory carving is of special note. In the vestry or sacristy as the Italian calls it we saw the little cupboards or lockers where the Ch. officials keep their vestments some of these vestments are very rich, in glold embrodery and oft times jewels. When Napoleon I came though he looted the places taking the lovely vestiments back to France. But the moastery is ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p123.jpg) Certosa Pavia is maily interesting for its monastery These Carthusian monks each has his little house with the little chimney. Each one opened into the cloister. When he walked about he walked close to the wall that was one way denying the flesh. His grave was out in front of the house. There was nothing he looked forward to as devoutely as he wished for death. Many of the aristocrats after sometimes leading a rather indulgent life on the outside entered this monastery for the remainder of their ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p124.jpg) lives. It was interesting to me especially because it was this same Carthusian order that built the Grande Chartreuse near Grenoble in France, spoken of by Matthew Arnold in his stanzas on the Grande Chartreuse. No finer specimens of monasteries came under our notice. They had a notion that the world was so bad that no one could possibly live a holy life unless he withdrew from the crowd. When I went home I went to bed and stayed in bed all ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p125.jpg) Sunday. My only day in bed since leaving home. On Monday morning which was April 20, 1925, I got into a taxi at 7. a.m. and rode of out to see the Cathedral at Milan. It is the most beautiful gothic church in Italy, to some people it is the most beautiful church in Italy, to others it is the most beautiful church in all the world. Not only. its its entrancing laciness attractive and its architectural splendor, but inside its windows are very beautiful. The cathedral was begun in 1386 ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p126.jpg) 1560, and the present facade was not completed 1805. The architec sculptor is still living who did the bronze doors, about 90 years of age. Poems in stone many of these cathedrals one, but this is the largest fulfilment to me of the words peoms in stone that I know of. In this cathedral are two images the one of the Christ the other of the Virgin before whom the people bow in gratitude for restored health. The one of the virgin has lighted candles before it all the time. It ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p127.jpg) is covered with beautiful silver hearts. The fo R. Cath. people seem to feel that the origin has an especial gift as a healer. The great masterpiece of Leonard Leo Leonardo da Vinci, which Powers has called the greatest of Christian paintings has been treated in such a way that it will last longer. "The Last Supper" is wonderful in its group composition and wonderful in the expression portrayed. April 17, 1925 We leave Milan for Venice. Arrived in ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p128.jpg) Venice about 3 p.m. Our hotel was the Metropole. Finally the man with the black gondola arrived, and put our baggage in we went slowly up the grand canal, finally turned up a side street, then a straight piece and finally turned again when we found our selves on the Adriatic front that a few Two or three minutes from the front door of our hotel we are at the bridge of sighs another step to the Doge's palace ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p129.jpg) and around the corner we are on the St. Marco square. The hotel dining room has a wonderful display of Venitian glass in its chandeliers and little colored shaded side lamps. April 21 Holiday April <22,> This morning I awakened early the windows of our room open on to one of the canal streets of Venice. The men who row the gondolas were calling to each other. Occassionally Occassionally one hears a note of music, but ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p130.jpg) as yet not the singing that I heard in 1906. We went throught St Marcs Church. It is old it looks old and yet there is something splend splendid about it Ruskins very enthusiastic description is not wholly artistic enthusiasm. There is something impressive about its several domes, one can easily see that Venice borrowed her ideas from the East, her contact with Constantinople gave her her taste for Bazan Byzantine art, it shows clearly in the groups of domes on St Mark San Marco ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p131.jpg) In Saint Marck San Marco Church there is a painting of Christ being baptised by immersion. Glass mosaics were early used in this Church one of the very first places to use it. They get the gold effect by putting the gold and then a piece of glass over it. The Doge's palace is always attractive because of its lacy decorative appearance. Byron immortalized the bridge between the palace and the prison. Venice owes S Shakespeare and Byron a debt that no one can estimate, for Shakespeare has made ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p132.jpg) immortal the Rialto bridge crossing the Grande Canal, and Byron the Bridge of Sighs. No amount of commercial advertising could do for Venice what the touch of genius has done: Guides may ignore many things but they can never ignore the bridge of sighs or the Rialto bridge. The Rialto bridge was built in the 16 Century. Two iron bridges have been built over the grand canal since that time. San Marco square at the opposite end from the Church presents a marvellous picture ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p133.jpg) [The following is taken from a newspaper clipping] [Column 1] GOOD BOOKS by OLIVER SWIFT [Four stars are printed] WE SAGEBRUSH FOLKS by Annie Pike Greenwood.

The afternoon tea shop is everywhere in evidence where the stroller takes his afternoon tea, and listens to music The Venetian is gay. The other shops have wonderful exhibitions of the glass and lace that is so exquisite. Just now white heads are very fashionable the endless varieties of glass beads are everywhere to be seen.

The ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p136.jpg) The Campanile had fallen, so that I did not see it in 1906 or 1910 but it has been rebuilt. The base it is said is the old base, but the other part of the tower is of brick. It is not so beautiful as the tower of Giotto at Florence. The story goes that the bones of St Mark who is the patron st saint of Venice were brought from Alexandria in 89 829 A.D. The church was begun in 830 and rebuilt after a fire in 976 In the middle of the 11 century a reconstruction was begun in a Byzantine style and "decorated with the Oriental magnificence" that at present com- ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p137.jpg) mands our admiration. The square which is 192 yards in length and 90 yards in breadth at the east end, tells the story of the glory of Venice when she was the commercial mart of the world. The discovery of America is the thing that ruined Venice commercially. The four bronze horses on by the front of the church are in all probability the most famous bronze horses in the world. The are supposed originally to have come from Nero's paalace, in any event they belonged to ancient Rome.

The Doges palace is mainly noted for its lovely paintings. The Venetian school like the Florentine school developed a good many painters of the first order. In Venice in the Doge's palace and in the churches, for ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p140.jpg) Venice has her share of fine old churches one sees on all sides the paintings of Tintoretto Titian and Paul Veronese. The Glories of Paradise by Tintoretto is said was said by our guide in 1906 to be the largest painting on canvas known. In one of the churches find in guide, where Venice has honored her dead with tombs is found a tomb to Carnova. He had planned the tomb for Titian but it was not complete at ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p141.jpg) the time of his death so his pupils finished it for him. Only part of Canova lies there, other parts of him are found in the little village near Venice where he lived The tomb to Titian is just opposite that of Canova in the same building. We finished our morning sigh seeing trip by visiting the famous lace factory of Venice. In the afternoon we visited the glass display of Panley. On the island of M where the glass is made we were told the first ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p142.jpg) glass articles were made 500 years ago. The in town exhibit of Pauly is little short of marvellous, every kind of effect in glass, lovely branches of grapes wisteria, that would add much richness to a dining room set. The glass I most admired was the plain white trimmed with gold. lovely goblets. The next day April 23, we took a trip in a gasoline launch. We visited the factories where the glass and ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p143.jpg) lace are made. We saw over 80 women siting making the famous lace, we saw a man blowing glass. Venice has not her old commercial glory yet she still holds an enviable place for the manufacture of lace and perhaps leads the world in artistic glass. Yet the big Italian liner is not absent in her harbor, where in her busy days it has ships after the style that Columbus used. Save for these ships and the gondolas, Venice is silent. These ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p144.jpg) are no horses or carriages in Venice and no automobiles, as one crosses the bridges at night one sees the light in the gondolas at the head of the gondolas plying the canals there is no danger of being run into. Byron says that Venice rises rose sphinx like on her hundred isles as with an enchanters wand has touched her truly but it is the wand of Shakespeare and of Byron ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p145.jpg) not so much music in Italy as in 1906, but the country is cleaner and there are fewer beggars. April 24. 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, May 1st April 24 we left Venice for Vienna. The same beautiful buildings and green trees, but much of the life and much of the color has gone. The American physican still haunts Vienna for her hospital of 2000 beds furnishes ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p146.jpg) a wonderful place for patients of all sorts of afflictions, and patients are everwhere found for the physicans to experiment with. The red and white flag that came with the inauguration of the Republic on Nov 12, 1918, does not look natural here. The yellow and black looked like part of the landscape. The handsome costumes of soldies and ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p147.jpg) policemen are eveywhere [---]sing. No where in the world did the soldiers were such lively costumes as in Austria. The American women was always trying to buy the goblin blue broadcloth cloak for an opera cloak, not to say anything of the beautiful suits in white and gold. I miss the people from the provinces ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p148.jpg) in those characteristic suits. The policemen have a mustard colored cloth suit now, not a bit attractive. Vienna has been called a city without a country and that is what she truly is at the present time. The flowers were placed from the baskets, in front of the Rat house for the first of May but only there I wonder if they will place them in the other baskets. Yet there are some [--] ai[-]s the slabes ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p149.jpg) royal stables containing 300 horses and so many magnificent trappings in gold bridles and mantles in scaret blue green sometimes with elaborate borders in gold and sometimes with elaborate borders in silver. hav are being used at the present time for an Exposition on Hygiene. Surely that is a better use than to house horses. Many of the horses have been sold some of the white horses the very best one retained for a Spanish riding ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p150.jpg) school that appears to give exhibitions twice a month. Yet no matter what they may do in the future the fact remains that the very fine water the people in Vienna drink and the beautiful public buildings were all given them in Imperial times. The Hofburg or in town palace is a museum at present It is like all other palaces. Its main decorations for the walls one wh wood work are white and gold. Mirrors ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p151.jpg) paintings and tapestry form the major part of the wall decorations. The hafburg Hofburg is done in a rather wineish color red. That is many of the rooms. The white gold and sort of maroon. Much of the furniture. Maria Therisa's bed was interesting, with the clock so manipulated that she could look into the glass from her bed and see the correct time. The paintings of Francis Joseph and Elizabeth are very beautiful. Especially Elizabeth. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p152.jpg) She is in white. Francis Joseph was practically the last of the Hapsburgs. With much to his credit he made the fatal blunder of pressing this last great war. Nothing applea appealed to me more in furniture in the Hofburg than a little cabinet in ebony trimmed with the lone blue lapis lazuli The lapis is let in. May 2, 1925 The gold streaks running through this lapis lazzuli is especially beautiful. The Church ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p153.jpg) of Saint Maria Maggiore is one of the exceptionally beautiful churches of Rome. Pope Liberius about the year 356 erected a temple which he dedicated to the Most Holy Virgin. To day it is St. Maria Maggiore. The story goes that a man dreamed that the Virgin appeared to him and asked that a Church be built in her name he went and told the Pope about this dream and the Pope said he had had a similar dream and so he called this man to build the Church. The entire ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p154.jpg) ceiling is covered with gold like gold tulips. The guide we had in 1906 said 70 tons of the first gold brought from America was placed on this ceiling. Whether 70 tons or not it is covered with Spanish gold May 1, 1925 This is labor's holiday in Vienna. The streets are crowded with people a procession came down by our hotel headed by some lads on wheels a clever canopy of flowers over their wheels. There was detachment after detachment of marching group grown- up and young people ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p155.jpg) from high school etc. All over, in front of these lovely public buildings they were holding meetings. On the Rat House steps a group of people were sitting and a choir music director was leading them in singing. It is the place where Angie Florence and I sat in 1910 and saw Francis Joseph go by and the Kaiser and Kanserin[-] when they came to sign the Tripple Entente in 1910. Every where we went on the Ring strasse ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p156.jpg) there were crowds and processions. The splendid feature of the holiday everybody had it. The cars stopped, and all the places of amusement were closed so that everybody had a holiday. May 2nd Anna Ollerton Amy Vilate Elders Hansen, Young and Fisher went to the Royal Opera to see the Queen of Sheba. As I remembered it before it was a gorgeous pageant. Such it proved to be The different divisions as they come in such wonderful costumes ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p157.jpg) with their procession of Hebrew symbols the brass rod and the snake etc. made a marvellous procession Then as a grand climax was the Queen of Sheba carried under a lovely gay awning. Three thoughts crowd on my mind. The first the contrast between this gorgeous picture and the reality in the Holy Land. There one has to go into shops and see the Ibia or Hammora with its bright Damascus colors to get even a glimpse of splendor, for nothing but dirt and squalor greet the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p158.jpg) eye. The day we were at Tivoli, a young women said to me the place where those slaves of Hadrian lived is wonderful beside the hall that some of the people live in on David Street in Jerusalem near the David Tower in Jerusalem. The difficulty with these people is that they have not been able to maintain the standard of the day of their glory neither have they been able to take on a new standard or type of living it is just rags and Squalor. The ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p159.jpg) other thought is one of question. I am wondering whether this is not the gam real worth while game. Let the kings and queens take possession of the opera houses and theatres that we may see them there, but not have them as any part of real life. Then comes the second thought could this empire represent them so gorgeously had they not the traditions and memories of some of the color of the Hapsburgs, Napoelon and some ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p160.jpg) other crowned heads. The Cradle of Napoleon the king of Rome and that wonderful robe of State would set the imagination on fire. The royal box is in the theatre and in the opera and the double- headed eagle is still seen upon the street cars and at Schonbrunn but the policeman's costumes and that the mail wagons hav are terribly dull and uninteresting. I saw the water cart with the double-headed Eagle on it to day. Sunday May 3, 1925 Rainey a good part of the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p161.jpg) day. We went to the L.D.S meeting at night. All three elders spoke. I was delighted to see the way Elder Hansen held his audiance. May 4, 1923 We went to see the Exhibition in what was formerly the Royal Stables. They have an exhibition of all forward looking things and emphasized the hygienic side of things. That evening Vilate and I went to a picture show in a house near the Regina Hotel our hotel It was a wretched show Hospitals again, m man with a broken head. It had been ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p162.jpg) hospitals all day. Anna & Amy May 5, 1925 Vilate and I visited the Imperial Treasury of the House of Austria. Book contains story of objects. I looked at Cradle once more that Rostand has imortalized in L'Aiglon. It certainly is a piece of master- workmanship. The beautiful green robe of slate has been taken to France. No doubt one of the conditions imposed by the treaties in the late war. The Church Vestiments displayed in the Ecclasiatical Treasury are of marvellous beauty. The workmanship exceedingly fine. Look at your guide for particulars The Veronica handkerchief ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p163.jpg) is there. May 6, 1925 Walked about business district with Elder Young. Saw good many lovely Vienna Jewelry stores. Vienna makes jewelry for the whole world. She is midway between the Orient and the Oxident and her jewelry refect the beauty of both parts. In the morning Leichenstein gallery took our attention. Some splendid Guido Reni's, Van Dykes and Rembrants. A number of others of the Italian masters. Andrea Del Sarto. Vilate May 7, bought her Lapis Earings. May 7, 1925. Visited the Central Friedhof. Very beautiful in the spring. Once more I looked at ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p164.jpg) the monuments in the cemetary to Beethoven, Shubert, Mozart, Brhams Soupe, Johan Strausse the Father and Son. Still Marvellous that Vienna should have claimed so many composers of the first order. May 8, 1925 This morning stepped into St Stephans Church. The first Church of Vienna for a few moments. Noted a picture of an angel crowning St. Stephen. Then we went over to the Capuchian Church by the New Market. In this cript the Hazen Hapsburg Monarchs are buried. I looked once again at the coffin in which the Duke of Riechstadt, the Son of Napoleon ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F3_p165.jpg) is buried, the name Napoleon is on his tomb, his grandfather lies between and his mother Maria Louise is on the other side. We visited the Room where Francis Joseph lies buried. He is in the center On the right the Empress Elizabeth and on the left Rudolf, the Crowned Prince. There is a bronze Crucifix, in front of Francis Joseph's tomb. The monk who took his through knelt before the coffin and Crucifix and prayed and the Roman Catholics there some kneel with him others crossed themselves. It really was affecting. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p004.jpg) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Our lives without friendship would be 9 10 11 incomplete 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 The ties of affection are sacred 10 11 and sweet 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 The beauty of nature in every 11 scene 1 2 3 4 5 Would pale and grow drear 6 7 8 9 10 11 11 With the foliage of green Were it ever 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Were it not for true friends the near 9 10 11 and the dear 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Whose presence enchant every Who make each <8 9 10> hours that are 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 <11> drear Who make by their presence 8 9 10 11 The scenes that are dear Thr <4> and enliven 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Who enchant by their presence 8 9 10 11 even hours that are dreary 1 2 3 4 5 6 Who almost enchant the hours ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p005.jpg) Our lives without friendship would be incomplete; The trust of affection is sacred and sweet.

Now Francis Joseph did light the match on this last war even if Kaiser Bill did pour oil on the flame to keep it burning after the match had been applied. But the reason for such adoration on the part of many people in Francis Joseph's own Empire lies in the fact that he in very large measure is responsible for the 120 ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p008.jpg) beauty of Vienna as a city. He did do everything to encourage the opera and the music of the city. At 4 o'clock on the afternoon of May 8th Vilate and I left Vienna and went for about one half hour on the car and then to a place called Grunsing. Lovely grass and trees over rolling hills, beautiful at this time of the year beyond words. We had refreshments consisting of lemonade. which the people call Lemon squash at a splendid hotel that overlooed ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p009.jpg) the scene. We walked back. April 9th 1925 Spent the morning getting tickets for our departure and trying to get these people here in Vienna to finish fix my hand bag so that I can use it the remainder of the trip. At four o' clock p.m. Elders Young and Fisher called for us and we went down on Vienna's great Prater lined with chestnut trees and in bloom just now to see what they call their ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p010.jpg) "blumen corso" It is a flower show it was very good. We stood for two hours, and thinking we would make better time than trying to get access to the car in such a crowd. we walked home, we were both very tired and went soon to bed soon. The That The floats that I admired most of all was one of hydrangeas in blue and pink. Another a blue float with a girl in red hair in it, holding a bird of paradise in her hands. Two floats were headed by swans. One had a white swan and the other a yellow swan. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p011.jpg) In the evening 20 thousand men marched from the Prater to the gardens of the Burghof. They carried tourches had bands and sung songs. They sang "Dutchland Ober Alles" I wonder if they are fanning the military spirit again. May 10, 1925 Elder Hammond Hansen came and took Vilate and I to the Mother's Day Exercises. I talked to the Relief Society for a while after. Sister Josephine Rubish is the president. In the afternoon Elders Hansen called for us we went again to Schonbrunn ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p012.jpg) We see the Flower Exhibition " Blumen As something else as the Germans call it. I have been to Schonbrunn probably ten times in my life my I never have see the flowers so marvellous. They were at their very best nothing more could be wished, and the exhibition in the green house, lovely, the colors massed so beautifully. We attended a concert in one of the smaller music halls in Vienna. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p013.jpg) It is a very beautiful with lovely marble pillars with gilded tops in the ionic style mostly probably elaborated some. It was a typical Vienna concert which is saying about all you can say for a symphony concert. The member from Tannhauser and particularly the Last member piano and ochestra combined caught our fancy. Two singers seem to have taken the fancy of the Vienna public this week, one Laritza, the woman we heard in Elsa in ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p014.jpg) Lohengrin on Wednesday evening, and Piccaver Alfred Piccaver a young Englishman from Lincolnshire who is being spoken of as the English Caroso Carusa. Selma Kurtz is still singing and so is Slazac, but they have both passed their prime and the public knows it. April 11, 1925 Vilate went with Elder Hammond Hansen to Salsburg the Ans this morning: I am to follow tomorrow morning and she will take the train at Salsburg and we will go on to Innsbruck together. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p015.jpg) There is a wonderful white marble panel in the music hall where we were last evening. Four figures two at each end with Francis Joseph's picture in the center and two female figures to the left on the right a female and a male figure. On the right is a figure of a child with a harp symoblizes the two in the right are symbols represented by a male and a female figure with a child with its hand clasped in religious devotion; on the left are two female figures, with a child with a or a sort of harp or lyre representing ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p016.jpg) music. The relief is evidently intended to indicate that Francis Joseph gave his support the Religion and the Arts. At this particular moment I am waiting for Elder Young to take me to luncheon to Mrs Rubishes Sister Rubishes. She is the Relief Society president. She has two lovely daughters, Hilda and Gretel. April 12 I went to Sister Rubish to dinner. Got a good idea of how the middle class people live. It is still one of the burning ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p017.jpg) questions everywhere how to enrich the lives of the middle class many of whom toil so hard. In the evening Elder Ficher and I went to the Vienna City Theatre and saw Gräfin Mariza, a musical comedy having a big run in Vienna. The plot was clever. A young and wealthy countess falls in love with her stewart: she is constantly pressed for marriage from suitors from without. Finally she thinks she will bring all this trouble to an end by announceing an engagement party. She invites her friends and has the thing published in ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p018.jpg) the daily paper. When her friends arrive and ask for the Count she tells them that he could not be there but h is holding and engagement party with his friends in his home city. After her while she confides to her friends that the whole thing is merely a scheme she has hatched up to save her from Sutors, who would see the engagement announced in the papers. She has Just got through telling her friends this thing when in walks a peculiar sort of "duck" who says he is Count. Spokendork, and having read of his engagement ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p019.jpg) in the paper he has come to see the lady. The thing produces a lot of merri- ment and consternation. Finally they make up their minds to put it over but later concluded that they are not suited to each other. Finally she reveals her love for the stewart by singing a love song to him, in response to one sung beneath her window and throwing him a boquet of roses. Then she gets a notion that he is making love to her because of her money. He is protests that he is not and taking all the money he can get hold of ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p020.jpg) throws it to a gypsie band. She is convinced of his love, but he asked for his release from her service and for a letter of recommendation. She writes: "I release you as my stewart but accept you as my husband." He put the letter in his pocket gets ready to leave and comes to bid her goodbye never having read the letter. She asks if he will be as quick to meet the second half of the contract as the first, then he realizes he has never read the letter. he reads it and embraces her. April 12, 1925 Left Vienna on the 8 a.m ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p021.jpg) train for Innsbruck. Vilate met me at Salsburg. Elders Hansen and Ford were with her. May April 13, 1925 Well. Innsbruck is all that H.H. Powers has or any one else has ever said it to. Surrounded by simply wonderful mountains, that jut up from the valley for thousands of feet. The lower part of the mountains completed covered with green grass that looks like a very rich velvet carpet shading light or dark at the stroke of the hand The trees which are of many ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p022.jpg) varieties are large and wonderful. Evergreens are mixed among them that are taking on their new green tips at this season of the year. Above are great rugged mountains snow- capped like Timpanogas is at home. We went up one today on a funicular; looking back across a valley perfect with its green plots, some flecked with the wild forgetmenots and some simply covered with dandy lion blossoms. It is a sight that simply defys description. It is of course the most beautiful of mountain cities. Mr. Powers said he would place Provo 4th ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p023.jpg) According to a guide here Inn Innsbruck is at present 63,000 thousand inhabitans. In recent years the visitors have always exceeded 150,000 in number. "It is not too much to say that no single town in the Alps as so fine a situation as that of the capto capital of Tirol. Vilate and I went to the Hungerburg this morning. We went up part way on a funicular. It was a beauty spot. Those picturesque houses that they build in Innsbruck, that I first saw in Chicago and St Louis Fares. Fairs. The steep little roofs built against winter snow. The green shutters ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p024.jpg) with bright little paintings in the center of the flowers yellow blue and red that are seen everywhere in the valley: the tiny little porch that runs across, this must always mean Innsbruck first to my imagination, although I know that the Swiss Alps have similar little houses. In the afternoon we went to Berg Isel. On its top is the Andreas Hofer Monument. The statue of a sterling mountaineer with two splendid ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p025.jpg) Eagles by the side. and the loveliest possible background of velvety hills covered with lovely green trees. We visited the museum Two things in the museum attracted my attention, first the splendid Oil painting of Francis Joseph holding in his hands the black hat and long bronzed green feathers the hat of the Tyrol. The trousers were of the goblin grey blue he usually wore the color gold with a touch of green the trousers with a green strip down the side. Then there were models showing the costumes ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p026.jpg) worn by the soldiers of the Tyrol. We walked on with those great snow capped mountains jutting up opposite us for the sun had come out and the mist had disappeared until we came to the castle or Shhloss Ambras On our way we crossed the Inn River the river that gave Innsbruck its name. We saw some attractive falls on the way, and before us the beautiful lanscape of clean green grass and lovely spring flowers. Finally we walked through the big iron gate and after following a path through ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p027.jpg) splendid trees we reached the castle We visited two rooms, first the Spanish room containting containing on the walls paintings of all of the rulers. They have restored the walls until they are fresh and new. Here and there a place is left to show the visitor how the restoration has been carried on. the second room had armor. Innsbruck is noted for its Outdoor Clubs 18 organizations in Innsbruck for the cultivation of Outdoor sports Bicycling, motoring, balooning, golf football tennis croquet gymnastics, athletics riding & trotting races. [Written sideways on right side of page] Some lovely falls just back of the Castle Ambras in the park. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p028.jpg) It is however in winter sports that Innsbruck excels; Tobogganing, skiing, skating. Some ski paths run for miles and last for days. A list of 68 walks is published by the Versch[--]erungsverein that is the organisation fostering outdoor sports. Fulpmes May 14 Vilate and I took the train from Insbr Innsbruck and went to the little country village of Fulpmes. We walked after reaching our ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p029.jpg) destination we walked through meadows of blue forget me nots and a yellow flower of the buttercup family but considerably larger, sometimes there was a very striking pink flower with them. It was all extreemly beautiful. On our way we saw a variety of spruce pine coming into leaf, they were such a fresh green and so lacy lovely beyond compare. However we did not see the Jerry Cows each with a ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p030.jpg) bell about its neck that we saw at Hurzerberg. We missed the tinkle tinkle of the bell and the ripple of the stream that gave the touch of re[-]ief of sound to the lovely sights all about us. Occassionally the silence was broken by the twitter of a bird. May 15 Visited the Hofburg and the Hofchuch in Innsbruck The make a good deal of the little golden roof nearby most of the gold is worn off by this time. The Hofburg is not especially interesting ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p031.jpg) That which is particularly intresting about it the fact that one sees on its walls paintings of Maria Thessa's 16 children. There is also a wonderful group of bronze statues in the Hofchurch. They certainly preserve the costumes of the period in a way that they can not be lost. We went back to the hotel in Innsbruck and had dinner. It was the Alberg[-] Hof. That afternoon we came on to Zurich The senery was very beautiful all the way. On one side part of the way was a ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p032.jpg) stretch of country rather barren as our mountains are at home, on the other side green grass and green trees. If there is on this earth a stretch of country to compare with the Austrian Tyrol and Switzerland [-]ogether, then I have never seen it, it is the creme of all that is beautiful in landscape. May 16 Which is a very clean city, there is a very beautiful tea garden on the lake front beautiful in th trees and in flowers. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p033.jpg) Vilate and I hunted the place where the Elder lives at 104 Josephstrasse. We left him a note and told him to bring Elder Davis along. May 16, 1925 This is Sunday the Elders have not looked us up. We feel very lonely because we had doted on going to meeting, but can not go. Vilate and walked around near the river through an avenue of beautiful trees then went home and went to bed. May 17, 1925 Elder Davis called in ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p034.jpg) the morning and we had a chat with him, he comes from Polly's and Fred's Ward 27th S.L. C. Looks a bit like Knight Allen. His given name is Clyde. He accompanied us to the station. We left for Lucerne at 2:10 p.m. Scenery beautiful on the way lovely snow-capped mountains at the summit. green at the base with lovely grass and trees. We arrived in Lucerne at about 4 p.m. The weather is marvelous. The trees are in blossom it is lovely after twice seeing Switzerland in the height of summer to ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p035.jpg) see it in spring. We crossed the old bridge over to the more fashionable side of the Quay the place where Cooks Office is located. We went over the magnificent old bridge that goe[-]s criss- cross over the river. [---] [---] angles it has 154 scenes from the life of St Leodegar. One of the two Mideaval bridges of the city of Lucerne. The second bridge is further up the river it like the first has a wooden roof. It has a series of triangular pictures of the dance of the Devil, it is really the temptations of the devil. May 18, 1925 This morning we left Lucerne near 9 a.m. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p036.jpg) and took the trip on Lake Lucerne. As we steamed out Pilatus that reaches practically lifted his snow capped peak on our right, and at some distance to the left was the Rigi. The beauty of Lake Lucerne is difficult to describe. I feel convinced in my own mind that nowhere on the face of this earth is there a stretch of country so beautiful as the stretch from Innsbruck in the Austrian Tyrol to through Switzerland to Geneva. I recall in 1906 climbing old Mt ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p037.jpg) Pilatus by night, resting from 3 in the morning at an Inn near the top, indulging in a glass of hot milk, and then at the first streak of dawn climing to the top of the mountain to see the sun rise over Lake Lucerne. I have never in my life seen a picture of that particular sort so beautiful. The long rays of light, like silver shafts reached down from the sun and struck the lake. One of the great attractions of the Swiss Lakes is their marvellous coloring. They are seldom a dull ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p038.jpg) gray. They are nearly always an emerald green, or a mixture of the blue and green a sort of acqua marine, or a deep blue. The color showed up gloriously under the shafts of light. Then the lake itself is so gives such lends such a variety in its contour, the beautiful wooded banks are constantlay closing in upon it making a narrow neck and then opening out into a wide bay. All along its banks are lovely trees hard wood and ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p039.jpg) evergreen with the most exquisite green of the spruce tree coming into full leaf at this season. Wherevere the trees leave off there is an abundance of grass and flowers, everywhere. The mountains jut up eight nine and ten at a time, may be seen gloriously rugged and snow capped at the top and at their base a wilderness of trees. For three hours our boat glided along through such lovely scenery. Every few moments we would stop at some station, where an attractive hotel, and lovely flowers beds may be seen, for the tourist who visits ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p040.jpg) Switzerland haunts the hotels on its borders, consequently there are hotels everywhere. We noted one named Eden. and indeed it looked to me like a fitting name for the entire region. A At noon we got off took the street car to Aldorf where the Tell monument is errected. Behind is a miniture of the Swiss country, with the characteristic little houses and in front stands the hardey Apline warrior with the sun at his side It was depicting 14 Century history. The monument was errected dep in the 19 Century ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p041.jpg) about 1905. The road from the Fleülen to Aldorf. is ininteresting. We came back to Fleülen on the car and had a good dinner on a poarch restaurant over- looking the lake. Then we walked down the famous Auxen-strausse, with the famous Gotthard tunnel below us through which a mountain pass was made into Italy. The Auxenstrasse is wonderful because one sees the banks of the Lake, the lovely coloring, the blues melting into the greens or visa versa. At the end of the Oxenstrasse one sees Tell's Chapelle. It is a small chapel with a crucifix ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p042.jpg) on an altar the ceiling is covered with blue paper in the model of which are gold stars. On the walls one sees a painting of Gessler on hors back commanding Tell Tell to shoot the apple from the boys head. One sees the child standing with the apple. In a painting on the opposite wall Gesler is overcome Gessler is overcome. Marking our way back we saw the jagged rock that juts up like a wooden slab out of the lake on its border. On it It is a monument to the German poet Shiller who has made Lake Lucerne and all the country around immortal ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p043.jpg) by his William Tell. While in Lucerne we visited in the day and at night the Lion of Lucerne The electric light which illuminates it at night strikes the Lion in such a way that the Shadow to seen with great distinctions beneath. the water. But The garden beneath the water is also very attractive, But the thing above all else is the Lion itself. Carved in 1821 by Ahorn in the solid rock, in honor of the Swiss guards who fell defending the Tuileries during the French Revolution. The Gloz Glacier Gardin a joins the place where Thorwaldensen's ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p044.jpg) lovely Lion, these glacier Gardins have the great round rolling potholes "pot holes" that indicate that the glacier has been there. May 20, 1925 We took a ride on a typical Swiss funicular to a place called Sonnenberg. Fine hotel on the top. Then we followed through a lovely Swiss wood to a place called gutich where was a hotel built like a chateau. We took a funicular back to to Lucerne had our luncheon at the Walla Halla hotel, went out and bought some Lucerne handkerchiefs bought ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p045.jpg) a couple of straps for my son suit case which is pretty badly used up by now. Then we started for Interlaken. The ride between Lucerne and Interlaken gives us the same lovely mountains covered with trees and grass with the tops snow- capped in the main. Always I have been enthusiastic about the little Swiss houses with their steep slanting roof and little porch that runs along it much the color of the roof, and the green shutters. It is a little classic in house - building for Switzerland. Finally we came to Lake Brienz - a lovely lake and like lake Lucerne beautiful in its coloring. It is in two [The following is written sideways in right margin in blue ink] Just below ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p046.jpg) parts, soon after our arrival at Brienz- we found ourselves in Interlaken Interlaken is a city of hotels. Everwhere one looks one sees hotels. The Victoria hotel has most exquisite gardens and the Bavaria at some distance from it most interesting gardens Interlaken is a society center in the summer. Every night one may listen to splendid orchestra music in the Kursaal, a music and refreshment hall with a gorgeous flower garden in front and a beautiful wooded mountain at its back from which two lights may be seen at ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p047.jpg) night and which has a search light. But the glory of Interlaken is not the fact that it lies between Lake Brienz and lake Thun lovely as these are The glory of Interlaken is that a wedge in its mountains discloses the lovely lofty snow bedecked summit of the Jungfrau. May 21, 1925 The Jungfrau lifts its majestic head 13,670 feet. It is not quite as high as the Matterhorn and still there is Mt Blanc that has the reputation of being the highest mountain ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p048.jpg) of the Alps, but it is a marvel and a wonder. We travelled to wa the We went on a trip with the Berne chior, Russell Hughes was there he is the president of the Berne Conference. The people from Interlaken joined them. James D Magle Lewes Hansen and Harold Merrill were along. My for We walked from Wengen to the Klin Kleine Sheidegg. The Jungfrau was wonderful in every respect. It is as massive and rugged as it is high. I think it is there to show how God makes a really great mountain Every once and a while we would heard the most terrible rumble ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p049.jpg) and crashing imaginable. we would look up to see the snow crashin crashing thr through its deep ravines, sending its snow dust into clouds all about it. Sometimes as it crashed it looked like water falling, a swift flowing cascade. The flowers were lovely along the way. The forget-me-not the flower that looks like the buttercup but is much larger and the dandelion. On top the crocus could everywhere be seen, white and purple crocus just covering the space just relinquished by the snow. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p050.jpg) The highest railroad in Switzerland and also in Europe is the funicular that cuts through the Jungfrau at 11.340 feet, May 22 1925 We took the trip to Grindelwald. Boarded a train at Interlaken and went to the city of Grindelwald. I saw the little hotel where we stayed in 1910. I remember the window Faun and I used to look out. Then we went to the glacier. It is a [The following is written in blue ink on right side of page] No mountain ever stands in the way of the Swiss Evergreen they just go through it. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p051.jpg) lovely blue tint on as soon as a crack is made in it It is very rugged not at all like the smooth slide we have at Timp. We went into the cave. It is my third visit to the ice cave. They were making a second ice cave in the glacier. Just pick it out and wheel the ice out. What interested me was the flow of water from the glacier bounding over the top with the sun glaring on the ice. Moyle and Housen and Merrill were with us. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p052.jpg) The highest railway in the Switzerland which means in the world Europe goes through the Jungfrau it is 11 340 feet high. May 23, 1925 We took one of Cooks drives paid 22 Swiss francs for it. It was along the banks of Lake Thun. We came to the a cave. They showed us first of all the original cave dweller or prehistoric man of the Switz. He merely had a skin about his loins, but we saw his fire his crude ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p053.jpg) cooking kettle and the crude instruments of the cave. Then we saw a cave with a model of St Beatus. They claim that he was a convert of St Paul and came into Switzerland and that he was buried in front of the cave. There is a slab with Latin on it and the thing may be genuine or it may not be It is said that when the Reformation began in Switzerland the Canton in which Interlaken is found turned protestant and ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p054.jpg) that the Roman Catholics took the bons at away from the place of burial to care for them. The cave proper is very large took us a hour to go through The interesting thing about it was to see the water running underground and wearing away the stones stones The drive after the visit to the cave was through beautiful forest country at the edge of the lake. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p055.jpg) May 24, 1925 This was Sunday. I remembered that it was Arthur's birthday. It rained a good deal of the day. Elder Harold Merrill who is in charge of the branch forgot to tell us that there meeting was held in the even afternoon. We went in the evening thinking that the service would be held as usual, but no meeting was held and the elders were not there May 25, 1925 In the afternoon Vilate and I took the Schynige Platte trip up one of these wonderful Swiss funiculars. We went a way up to the snow line to a place where we could see what is meant by ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p056.jpg) Interlaken, with Lake Brienz on one side the city in between and Lake Thun on the other side. When we were a way up on the mountain side the houses looked so tiny below. May 26, 1925 It is raining Vilate and I are apt to stay in the house most of the time We did take a walk in the afternoon to a May 27, 1925 little Swiss village over one of those soft [---]ths so characteristic of Swiss mountains. The air little houses were all distributed among the mountains as is quite characteristic of this ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p057.jpg) Swiss country. We saw the ruins of an old castle on a side hill. We marked the foot path to Lauterbrunnen May 27, 1925 We left Interlaken and went to Visp. From Visp we went to Zermatt the region of the Matterhorn the highest mountain of the Swiss Alps. We were at the Victoria Hotel. It was the longest hotel we had been in since Naples. We were frightened we would not be able to take the funicular as the season was early, but the man at the hotel who by the by, had been door man at the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p058.jpg) Shepherd's Hotel in Cairo, and who has been spending his winter in Egypt and his summer in Switzerland for ten years said if we could get ten people who wanted to go up we could make the climb. trip. He found the ten May 28, 1925 We got on the Gomergrat and went as hig far as the road had been cleared. Finally we rand into a snow bank.

At the As we went along we saw Riffelalp 7260 ft said to be the highest of the Swiss hotels. It was interesting going up the Gornergrat and seeing the snow pilled in such banks that we could not see over the top some times from our car windows. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p060.jpg) but the Matter horn is not particularly beautiful. for beauty it is in no way comparable to the Jungfrau. The legend concerning the three mountains of this part of the country is that the Eiger is a mean old man persuing the new bride the Jungfrau, the Monch or Monk who stands between separated them. The Eiger is 13,045 ft the the Monch or Monk 14 13468 ft Jungfrau 13670 ft. The three form an ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p061.jpg) incomparable group. May 29, 1925. From Zermatt we came back to Visp and from Visp took a train to Montreux. We arrived in Montreux early in the afternoon close to 1 pm. We left Zermatt at 7.15 a.m. In the afternoon we walked along the beautiful line of Lake Geneva, with Mr. and Mrs Thackeray and their niece Tilzit. We haled as far a Vevey and back the train back. Vilate and I found rooms at the Vernet Hotel. Our room is almost looks out upon a scene of indescrbable lovliness. Below us stretches the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p062.jpg) lovely waters of Lake Geneva To our right is the border line of Montreux hotels, exceptionally fine. To our left is the best possible view from the shore line of Dent du Midi, which I have been told means the tooth at Midday. We are so near the lake that Vilate threw a piece of paper from the balcony straight into it. This is the region of the famous Swiss chocolate factories. Caillers, Suihard etc etc. May 30, 1925. We took the most enchanting ride possible We came close to much closer to the Dent du Midi that on our hotel porch. We rode ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p063.jpg) for several hours through these lovely the mountains covered with green trees beech, and other hard wood trees and the lovely evergreens particularly the spruce pine that looks so lacy and such a delicate green in the spring of the year. We took a the drive with the George Lunn company first we passed cheateau-d'Œx in the country districts. At noon we were at Gsteig a quaint little village with the adorable little Swiss houses all along. They do not paint these houses. Mr. Thackeray said someone told him that some of the colleges at Interlaken still ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p064.jpg) unpainted have being there for 200 years. When he asked if a fire would not sweep a whole village away in no time, he said the wood was too hard to burn that a mere piece of paper or stick would never have the effect of its catching on fire. At tea time for one English people we reached Gruyeres. I said that the English guests took tea there. So did we for the people at the Vernel Hotel put us up such a small luncheon that we were hungry. Gruyeres is a small village of the Middle Ages crowned by a Castle owned by the family of Gruyeres. The Gruyere ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p065.jpg) Gruyère is a bird with a long neck and a long bill. The count went out The tenth century is about the time of the building of the castle although there is a wall nearby that dates from the tenth century eighth century. In side the Castle we had the usual wood carved chests, sometimes carved tables and carved chairs. There was a good deal of peweter ware about peweter plates and pitchers. The walls were covered with paintings. One shows the Count of Gruyere coming home from a sally into the land of another count he had "pinched" as ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p066.jpg) our guide said all sorts of things. In any event he was coming home in triumph and he had the bird displayed in front of the procession of himself and nights. In the 15 Century the Count went bankrupt the French men borrowed his men for the war and then after the war refused to pay for them saying they were bad soldiers this caused the overthrow of the family. A family now living in Geneva bought it in the 18 century. They occupy it part of the time each summer. We went to the church. It was decorated in a most beautiful way ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p067.jpg) with the lovely Alpine flowers, not to be surpassed by the cultivated variety and potted plants. That one thing is unique about Swiss Churches the decorate so marvellously with flowers. At Zermatt we saw a thing that seemed very strange to use instead of a row of candles below the altar with the Virgin Mary there was a row of electric lights. In the evening after our trip to the Gruyere Mr and Mrs Thackeray spent the evening with us on our Veranda until their train left. The moon was lovely the sunshi sunset had been gorgeous in a delicate blue along the mountains directly in front of us and a deep ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p068.jpg) rich pink, directly to our left and opposite us. The boats on the lake each carried a light. People are boating constantly on lake Geneva. It is probably about 10:30 a.m. at this moment. I count seven boats on the water. It The sky is a lovely blue, the beautiful blue of a clear sky such as we have at home. Never in my life anywhere or at any time I have I seen a more beautiful sky than the one I am looking at at this moment. Everywhere the great fleecy white clouds are over the mountains They look like great heaps of newly picked cotton, carded wool or ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p069.jpg) whipped creamed pilled up in tons. The lake is of the soft blue green bul. Where the sun strikes it there is a silver sheen as though a piece of silver gauze had been spread over it. The wavelets for that is all they are ripple softly and the entire lake looks as thogh though it had a Marcelle wave. I said somewhere along that Vilate threw a piece of paper into the lake it was a piece of orange peel. It Every time Chillon Castle is a very short distance from us, possibly a 12 minutes walk. Every time I look out upon the lake and ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p070.jpg) see the castle of Chillon I think of Charley Whittaker rowing me about it and Singing in a Dungeon Deep Where the Black Bats Sleep. Never have heard that song sung as appropriately. May 31, 1925 In the morning we visited the Castle of Chillon. There is a college of the same name nearby. We walked about in the inner Court. Flowers, potted plants were in evidence as they are trying to make it as attractive as possible. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p071.jpg) in the outer Court. There is a painting of Bonivard chained to the post. We soon found our way in to the dungeons. The dungeon was very dark when it was being used as a prison. They have let in considerable light. Today they have put glass over the slits. They may make for the comfort of visitors and it may help to preserve the castle now. Of course the most interesting part of the Castle is the dungeon wher the prisoner of Chillon ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p072.jpg) was incarcerated There is a bronze plate there now which reads Byron. Sinc my last visit in 1910 they have placed a statue it looks like an angel with its arms outstretched to Bonivard It was done by an Alocastian sculptor. The postcards shown an immense throng of people taking part in the ceremony of placing the statue. The Castle belonged to the Duke of Savoy and is of 13 Century ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p073.jpg) architecture. having the kind of pillars used in that period. Nearby is a hotel named Bonivard and one called Byron. When one goes into the dungeons there is a flat rock where it is said political prisoners st condemned to death slept the night before their execution. There is also a door where is is said a me knife at the top said to be let down as a gillotin to behead the victims. Then there is a door open right on to the lake where it is ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p074.jpg) said the victims were thrown after execution into the lake. In the afternoon we went on the funicular to Rochers de Naye. A wonderful ride. At the time one saw an assembly of mountains. We trod about in snow. One could see the valley of the Rhone, if the day da[--] to be bright Mt. Blanc but it was not bright, Over in the other direction one was supposed to see the tops of the Eiger the Monk and Jung- ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p075.jpg) frau, but to say the least they were not very plain what was clear was the outline of Lake Jeneva, Geneva, and the fact that there were snowcapped mountains, barren rocky mountains, and mountains covered with trees with patches in between of rich green grass that looked like a velvet carpet spread out. It took us all afternoon to go and return. June 1, 1925 Celebrated Brigham Young's birthday by going to the old monastery and hospice of St Bernard. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p076.jpg) The Romans knew the pass between Italy and Switzerland, and Napoleon used it and quartered some of his men there in case the Austrians should give them trouble. St Bernard founded the mon hospice in the tenth century. We left Montreux at 7 in the morning, and drove through county not so enchanting as the country we ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p077.jpg) saw on the 30th of May. Finally we came to the falls they are the loveliest of the very many falls we have seen while in Switzerland. On the way Vilate rented some shoes and I some overshoes. We drove from 7 until 20 minutes to 12. When we began the wall. We trugged along through the snow up hill for the most part some of it very hill, up a ravine ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p078.jpg) with mountains on each side. Finally a young couple who looked as though they might be on their honey moon called out it is in sight. We had been walking then almost an hour. Final A step or two further brought us to the place where we could see the tip top of the historic old hospice. The present buildings were ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p079.jpg) put up in the 16th Century. All these years these overtaken on the pois have been cared for. Now there are stations along the road that the traveler can enter and call for help, by aid of the telephone, and the monk and the dog going out together can usually save them. Nothing that has been written is extravagant about the possibilities of suffering for there ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p080.jpg) trying to make the pass. Swiss peasants used to try to walk in to Italy to find work in the winter and in this way they were overcome. The guide told us three bodies of Italians were pilled up there all practically all winter. They were Italians who had been caught in a snow slide ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p081.jpg) They served us tea, the guide said they considered it something of a file to make it now, that soon the restaurant would be open and people must pay for what they receive. We saw the dogs and the pups. One of the man said he had a friend who took her fussy little lap dog up there and one of these St. Bernard dogs got ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p082.jpg) hold of it and tore it to pieces. We saw a dog named Barry who had saved three lives. We went into the Church where there is an oil painting of St Bernard. The monks live one have year in Martigny, where there is a monstery. It and the other half year at the pass [-] It is a very hard ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p083.jpg) life and they die after comparatively few years service. Near the monastery is a bronze statue of St Bernard it is right on the Italian line, here one gets a good view of the Valley of Aosta, Italy. The hospice from which at all times hospitality has been despensed to way farers was founded in 962 by St Bernard of Menton the present building dating from the 16 Century ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p084.jpg) About ten or 12 monks and their attendants stay there in addition to the dogs. They make what has always been thought to be a very fine brand of mine. June 2, 1925 In the afternoon after luncheon Vilate and I went to Glion. It is 2270 ft about sea level. It is reached by cogwheel railway in 20 minutes. We saw fields of the beautiful wild flowers of the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p085.jpg) Alps in full bloom and the Columbine. I don't know whether the cows and goats of Switzerland enjoy Eating the wild flowers, but they are [--]o[-]ded down and become part of the lay stock. Lake Geneva, Lake Leman stands at 1230 feet above sea-level; its depth varies from 240 to to 1,000 feet. Sir Thorn The cook and Son little book on Montreux contains this passage, "The sight of the blue floor ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p086.jpg) of the lake beneath, the green meadows above, and the solid snow- crowned mass of the Dent-du Midi to the left, is alone worth a longer journey. "A region which Byron praised." Beautiful as a dream, "and Mendelsssohn in prose wrote", valleys that throughout the spring and early summer are thick with flowers in wild profusion, vast fields of wild narcissis, daffodils and jonquils, this Rivier Riviera of ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p087.jpg) Switzerland is a veritable poets' Paradise, Byron wrote of Lake Geneva or Lake Leman in the following words, "Lake Leman woos me with its crystal face, The mirror where the stars and mountains view The stillness of their aspect in each trace Its clear depth yields of their far height and hue." John Ruskin wrote: "I am more thankful every year of added life, that I was born in London, near enough to Geneva for me to reach it easily." ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p088.jpg) June 3, 1925 Vilate and I took a trip to Lausanne. We went by rail, and returned by a boat called the Vevey. One of the many beautiful boats plying these lakes. We went to a place on the hill called The Signal reached by a funicular that takes only a few moments from this point one gets a rather good view of the contour of the Lake, not but what attracted us most of all in the place ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p089.jpg) is the lovely trees, One in particular, the variety I do not know. It was tall and its broad branches spread out in a truly wonderful way. It was symetrical. I think nowhere have I seen a more beautiful tree. On our way back we visited the Cathedral of Lausanne, It is perhaps the finest Cathedral in Switzerland. Then we found our way to the lake front with its famous ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p090.jpg) promonade of wonderful holes and lovely gardens. with avenues of trees outside the hotel gardens and other lovely gardens to decorate the lake front. We took the boat at 5:20 p.m. All along we saw grape vines vineyards growing on the hill side. One could easily fancy churches houses vineyards all, taking a tobogan slide into the lake. We reached home in time for our 7:30 dinner at the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p091.jpg) Hotel Vernet. June 4, 1925 Vilate is still asleep The day looks a bit murkey, but an hour or two of sunlight may make it just as bright as the other days have been. We have had such wonderful weather since we came to Swizerland. It is 22 days since we arrived in Innsbruck and the weather has been delightful all the time. we have ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p092.jpg) not had a single trip interfered with all has been lovely. At Zermatt we saw a herd of goats coming home. It was rather a large herd. Each goat had bell tied about its neck and as they went along the combined ringing sounded like a Zilophone. Cows also bore bells and as soon as four or five get together it sounds like a musical instrument. In the evening the flock ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p093.jpg) along Montreux began to show up with the special electrical lighting put in for the Lake of Narcissus. Some of the buildings were in red others green, one very close to us pink, some yellow but most were in white. June 5, 1925 Vilate and I took a wall in the Woods of Chillon near Chillon Castle. The woods are very delightful. At the end we came to a patch of flowers not in any way separated from the path in the woods. We were picking a few ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p094.jpg) flowers when a man with a pitchfork came along. He raised his pitchfork and made the motion of hitting us with it. He talked in an angry fashion and motioned us to get out. I threw him a coin and his anger subsided. It was a swiss franc valued at 20 cts in America. I think I understand the spricu scriptural injunction about agreeing with your enemy etc etc lest he turn and rend you. In the evening we had a ride on the lake in a row boat. We were ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p095.jpg) out. ½ hour and paid 1½ francs for the ride. There was an eq exquisite Narcissus in electric lights, nothing could be more artistic that showed up and could be seen to good advantage from the lake. June 6, 1925 In the afternoon Vilate and I went to the place where the bleechers were set up for the Fête of Narcissus, held each year by Montreaux Montreux and Teritet. The bleeches were set up near the market place. The setting was very lovely with the lake one side, the mountains another and a park and a band stand ahead of them. The Baldat from Paris was ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p096.jpg) to long drawn out. The flower floats were lovely, Especially did we admire one in blue and yellow Iris, one with a lion the main was so effective in something in a yellowish brown that hung down much as wisteria hangs down. There was one with a big storke in front then a little house where the baby stood waving her hand perfectly lovely. One with the 18 Century woman with the powdered hair and ballon like shirt lovely. The one with the lion which could both open its ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p097.jpg) mouth and wag its jaw had such lovely Hydrangeas, both pink and blue. They had the battle of confetti after the procession of floats. Surely they covered the streets with confetti. In the evening we sat on our balcony and saw the w exhibition on the water. The most unique exhibitions of on the water I have ever seen. It was not nearly as elaborate as San Francisco in 1915 but it was unique. For instance they spread a line of electric jets on the water which had the illuminated buildings before them and ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p098.jpg) fan of the excursion boats that ply Lake Geneva at the back of them. Then the procession on the water began. First was a half moon like crystal, then a storke, then something that looked like a bunch of baloons, then a beautiful broad winged Sea Gull, while just perfect with its read bill, than a lovely swan. and a wonderful butterfly. Then they had fireworks the most beautiful was the Narcissus but the two cascades imitating ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p099.jpg) water perfectly were exceptionally fine. June 7, 1925 Packed our suit cases once more and started for Geneva. The people here say Zurich is the largest city in Switzerland, Berne the capitol and Geneva the finest. The ride along the lake was lovely, for much of the time it was a jade green. Of course its contour does not present the marvelous variety of scenery one gets on Lake Lucerne but it is nevertheless very beautiful. Elder Romney met us at ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p100.jpg) the station, and we had supper at the Church headquarters, very pleasant apartment. June 8th 1925 The Council of the League of Nations in Session in Geneva, great luke luck for us. one of my dreams come true, for I have so loned longed to see it in session. We visited first the disarmament section this year presided over by an American. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p101.jpg) We got in just in time to hear the American representative, who they thought was Nicholas Murray Butler say that on behalf of America the U.S. of America he was glad to accept the clause against the use of bacteria, and he said such usage was so repellant to the Americans that they would be glad to accept the clause, he also felicitated the honorable member from Poland for ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p102.jpg) the very splendid spirit of cooperation in which the matter had been presented. We came home had luncheon in the afternoon we visited the place where the Rhone and Harve meet. The Rhone on one side, always either clear blue or clear green as the Swiss lakes are and the Harve on the other dide side muddy and murkey as it comes ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p103.jpg) from Mt Blance. There is just enough room for a substatial foot path between them. They flow along side by side without mixing as far as the eye can see. We then visited a path where there is a huge panel running along containing reliefs of the reformers for Calvin was born and lived in Geneva, and John Knox preached here. They were all there Calvin Knox Zwinglie ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p104.jpg) Huss and there were places for both Luther. Then we went home and had supper. June 9, 1925 A banner day. We crossed the river over to Quai Mount Blanc. And then turned onto the Quai, Woodrow Wilson. We had seen streets, prominent called after him in France, the eq exquisite bridge in Lyons, and ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p105.jpg) other streets and other bridges in other parts of Europe bearing his name. We had also heard the Young Bohemian from Prague eulogize his own president by saying he was like Woodrow Wilson, and that his President and Woodrow Wilson were put side by side in many places. Only the tribute paid to him by the writer of a history of the world who said that ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p106.jpg) the history won by the allies was due to two main reasons, first in the main, first the Battle of the Marne, and second the fact that Woodrow Wilson had been able to put into the hearts of men an idealistic reason for for the allies winning and they had fought as for a spiritual force. victory. That somehow he spoke so that men in every country could ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p107.jpg) understand him and his words took fire. Now the second great thrill came when I walked down the lovely Quai by Lake Geneva and into the League of Nations building. It is a splendid building. Someone says it was formerly a hotel, if so it was fashioned after many of the European palaces. Brother Romney said that the League paid 4,000,000 for the grounds and building. On the outside is a [Written sideways in margin] inclosing the building [Resume original text] Slab placed there by the city of Geneva, at Woodrow Wilson's death, which reads, ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p108.jpg) A La Memoire De Woodrow Wilson President Des Etates - Unis Fondateur De La Society Des Nations La Ville De Geneve Translated into English it reads, To the memory of Woodrow Wilson President of the United States Founder of the Society or League of Nations The City of Geneva. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p109.jpg) Then we made an effort to get into the Council Meeting. Elder Romney had put in an application for us the night before. We were told that the room was so small that only the delagates and the press could be accomodated. He sent to Thereupon we produced our letters from Senator Smoot, Secretary Hughes and Governor Mabey. We were told that one might go in, finally he let the two of us in. Austin Chamberlain, the British Representative was acting as president at this session. Brian Brint the Frenchman was near ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p110.jpg) him, the Italian representative was there and the Japanese representat representative. Our [-]e United States did not take her place. They reported that Hungery had balanced her budget under the help given by the League of Nations and that she would have a balance although he could not state the amount. Austria asked for a loan to electrify the Salsburg Innsbrook R.R. so that it would give work to many unemployed, as unemployment was very serious ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p111.jpg) in the country at the present time, and also using water power to electrify would release coal. They asked for a non-political committee The to investigate. The non-political committee had been appointed, the President said, that it was in the nature of economic experts. Then the matter of Child Welfare and traffic in women came up. They changed the name to welfare for women and young persons. The report said that the Friends of the League in the United States had con- tributed some money ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p112.jpg) towards the support of the child welfare section, also the U.S. Child - Welfare Association had contributed $5000 for its support. That is the way the United States keeps of out of the League. In the afternoon we visited the labor section. We could not hear the man speaking. English and French are the official languages of the League. Every speech is given in the two languages. All the Correspondance and all the reports ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p113.jpg) Sun April 6/25 [Page cut obscuring the title] n the Home Winner of Arabic Speech Contest [Image of woman, with the following caption] Gives prize to American University of Beirut.

Her subject, "Show Them (women) the Light," was a protest against the use of the veil by Moslem women. Sitt Ihsan presented the seven Egyptian pounds (approximately $35) that she won and an additional seven pounds to the alumni fund of the American University of Beirut. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p115.jpg) must appear in the two. Later on in the afternoon we visited the Isle of Rousseau, it is in the Rhone River. We noted the great number of Swans about on the lake, more than a dozen the young ones are black. In the evening we got into a conversation about the League. Three of the Lady's daughters are connected with the Lague either directly or indirectly. One one is directly connected she is with the disbursement department, she one is the Stenographer ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p116.jpg) for the Japanese delegration.

The train was bringing the Lord Mayor of London to Verdun, for ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p134.jpg) London adopted Verdun. The next morning we saw the people gathered in one of the cemeteries there where they were undoubtedly holding services and where the Lord Mayor was in attendance. We put up at a hotel where our room was almost capacious enough for a barn. One of Cooks leaflets says this about Verdun. Verdun which in 1916, saw the most terrible fighting during the whole war.

We also went into the Ossuary, or place of bones at Thiaumont Farm. This Ossuary contains the remains of 400,000 to soldiers who fell around Verduna. There is no way of identifying them, there bones have been gathered up and placed under temporary shelter until a better place may be had, there they lie in boxes coffin shaped.

The famous "Bayonet Trench", a permanent memorial to 170 French heroes who, while waiting the signal to attack, were buried as they stood in the trenches by a shell explosion, is also visited. The monument was erected by an American gentleman, the late Mr George F. Rand of Buffalo N.Y., who, visiting the front under our guidance, was so deeply touched by the story he heard. The return to Verdun is via the Carrières d'Haudromont and Bras, and views are had of such well known points as the Cote de Froide Terre, Cote du Poivre and Cote du Talou, all of which played prominent roles in the epic fighting. Unforgettable sights meet the eye at every turn in the terribly tortured country side — scenes of fighting and artillery duels so terrible that whole forests in this region were reduced to what the soldiers called rows of "tooth- picks!".

Train is taken in the morning for Rheims, next to Paris, the most famous city in France, the systematic bombardment of whose Cathedral early in the war and throughout it shocked the whole civilized world. The interesting oldworld city (the centre of the Champagne trade) is visited, particularly the shell of the magnificent Cathedral, of which the construction was begun in the year 400 A.D. by St-Nicaise, and which has seen the consecration of nearly every French King, from Clovis. The Church of St-Remy is also of great antiquity, and the scene of pilgrimages for centuries. The visitor will be given an opportunity of thoroughly viewing the city, which was occupied by the enemy during one week in September 1914, but on which hundreds of thousands of shells were hurled, destroying over 10.000 habitations. After lunch, the automobile leaves Rheims by the ancient Porte de Mars along the Brimont Road, which was just behind the enemy lines from 1914 to 1918, to Fort Brimont, which dominated the city during the whole of that time. Hence we continue via Loivre and the Route Nationale N° 44 (whence can be seen the Aisne Canal, whicht was the front line for ever four years, and other spots such as the hotly contested bridge head of Sapigneul, and the Hill 108) where is to be seen one of largest mine craters to be found along the whole front, to Berry au Bac, in the Aisne Valley. Cholera Farm was transformed by the Germans into a strong underground fortress. We cross two sections of the famous Hindenburg line before reaching Corbeny, the starting point of the French offensive of 1917. From here through the once wooded country, now destroyed by artillery fire, around Boucouville and Vauclerc we are on the ground occupied at the end of May 1918 by rest troops both British and French, purely on the defensive, who were outnumbered many times by the enemy when they started their last big push which finished only on the Marne River on June 4th. The spot where the Hurtebize Farm once stood will be seen, also a portion of the Chemin des Dames (already famous as the battle grounds of Cesar and Napoleon) which up to then had been consi- dered as impregnable was also engulfed by the enemy hordes — practically the whole of this ground was retaken in the final allied offensive which was the second Victory of the Marne. The view from the Craonne Plateau is a most impressive one, and the scene of destruction and desolation witnessed from here leaves a lasting impression on the mind. On the way back are passed the villages of Craonnelle, Pontavert and Cormicy, all in ruins, as they too were in the sector from which the French launched their offensive in April 1917, and the enemy advance of May 1918 was started. Rheims is reached in time to take the evening train back to Paris. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p151.jpg) THE AMERICAN BATTLEFIELDS [Photograph of statue, river, and buildings captioned "THE MARNE RIVER, & THE STATUE TO JEAN DE LA FONTAINE" "CHATEAU-THIERRY" at top of page] [Battlefield map showing "Route covered by Automobile" in middle of page.

The big cemetery at the foot of the wood is also visited. From Belleau Wood, the road is through the ruined villages of Bouresches, captured by the Marines on June 6th., past Hill 204, and through Vaux, the scene of brilliant engagements of the 9th. and 23 rd. American divisions. We are now at the scene of the dramatic entry of American troops into the great struggle during the seco nd drive of the Germans to the Marne. At Château-Thierry, the birthplace of La Fontaine, the famous fabulist, American machine gunners in June 1918 raked the river and the bridges continuously for four days and nights. Here an interesting visit can be made to the "War Memorial" which is in the form of an American Institution established in the old Hotel l'Elephant (2, Place des Etats-Unis) to give help of every kind to the people of the Town and surrounding villages. Lunch is taken at Château-Thierry, and the afternoon is spent in driv- ing through the Marne Val- ley as far as Jaulgonne, where in July 1918 the enemy, during their famous "Peace offen- sive" crossed the Marne, to be stopped and repulsed howe- ver on the southern slopes by the American 10 th.

As the first decade anniversary of the Universal Peace Union approached, which happily occurred upon the opening of the International Exposition of the Uni- ted States of America, during Centennial Year, and singularly too, upon the anniversary of the Treaty of Washington which led to the Geneva Arbitration, propositions were made that military men be invited to surrender their swords for conversion into useful implements. Thomas Atkinson, a farmer in Indiana, promptly offered ten dollars for the first sword so presented. The first response came from Col. A. Greu- sel, of Iowa, who had carried his sword through the Mexican war, and in the war for the preservation of the Union. He, like almost every soldier, felt attached to his sword, and had desired to transmit it to his ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p155.jpg) [Column 1] children; nevertheless, he presented it to the President of the Universal Peace Union, with the word that he was converted to the principles of Peace. It was recei- ved in Carpenters' Hall, Philadelphia, where the first Continental Congress had met about one hundred years previously, and where the declaration of war with Great Britain had been made. The time, place, and circumstances, were significant and opportune. The Universal Peace Union presented a Declaration of Peace, which was unanimously adopted by a large audience. Upon the reception of the sword, Thomas Atkinson offered five dollars for the first pruning-hook manufactured from it. Clayton B. Rogers, of Philadel- phia, promptly had the pruning-hook made, and the next day it was placed upon the platform. At this mo- ment Col. David B. Franklin, of Pennsylvania, came forward and said he had carried his sword during the Rebellion, but believing in the principles of Peace, he would present it to the Society. Other swords were offered, and among them one was accepted from Ed- win H. Coates, who had received it from the widow of an officer of the Union army, who did not wish to see it longer, as her husband had lost his life in the war. From these swords Clayton B. Rogers made the plow and the pruning-hooks. Those sent to the Paris Exposition were handsomely nickel-plated. The plow represents a patent of 1874 for making furrows [Column 2] close or wide. It was photographed by Broadbent & Philliphs, and when Capt. Badger, of the << Constitu- tion >>, heard its history, he said it should go to Paris << even if he had to take it in his own cabin. >> As no space had been obtained in the Exposition Building, the << Constitution >> sailed without this exhibit, but through the kindness of George W. Childs and the U. S. Commissioner-General, Robert H. McCormick, it was taken by the U. S. Ship << Portsmouth >>. It is proposed after the Exposition closes, to present the plow and pruning-hook to Geneva, Switzerland, to be deposited in the same hall of the Hôtel de Ville where the immortal Tribunal of Arbitration met, and which had just before been occupied by the Society for the Succour of the Wounded. It is thought here would be a fitting place for the permanent deposit of these em- blems of Peace, and that there might be in it an influen- ce for righteousness that would extend throughout the world. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p156.jpg) [The following is written sideways] Vilate 550 55 6.05 2.50 6475 650 7725 450 6675 7.50 75 8.25 2.50 [The following is written horizontally] <450> 6675 11.1 - 2 5 ½ 62 70 29 20.90 141.35 3 ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p157.jpg) The Townhall of Cologne. The townhall, situated on the East side of the Roman city, in the midst of the old Jewish quarter, is built on the remains of walls, left by the Romans and Franks. The first Bürgerhaus to occupy this site (domus civium, domus divitum) is mentioned in documents as early as 1135, but the extant portions do not date beyond the middle of the 14th century. The central part, to the western side of which the portico has been added, belongs to the second half of the 14th century, while its East wall is built upon the Roman ramparts. The tower 1407—1414, erected by meister Clais Nikolaus, was intended for the storage of the municipal wines and records and for the accomodation of the account-rooms, council-chamber and armoury. The expenses, incurred in erecting this 200 foot building, were defrayed to some extent out of the fines, which the families, overthrown in the rebellion of 1396, had to pay to the new government of the corpo- rations. The ancient statues, which formerly adorned all five storeys, were destroyed in the 18th century. The 81 new figures which have replaced them, represent on the ground floor the spiritual and temporal princes, to whom the City owes various rights and privileges, in the first storey men of the patrician period, in the second members of the guilds, in the third artists and scholars and at the top patron and other saints. In the entrance gate are representations of Christ surrounded by the apostolic princes and four prophets. The porch, a two-storeyed open portico, is reckoned among the most striking achievements of the German Renaissance. It stands on the site of an older construc- tion, of which a detailed description is to be found in the records of Weinsberg. Its erection was agreed upon in connection with a competition in 1567 and the hand- some building was executed by Wilhelm Vernuiken 1570—1571. The bas-reliefs in front depict the mythical struggle of the mayor Gryn with the lion and the two bibli- cal analogues of the legend viz Samson and Daniel. The inscriptions and imperato- rial medallions refer to the founding and Roman occupation of the town. As a result of rebuilding and restoring operations undertaken in the last century by the town ar- chitects Raschdorff and Weyer the edifice is no longer as before merely an open stair- case to the upper stories of the townhall. Of the East side only the lower and central portions with their bow-window and balcony exhibit features of the period 1549—1591, the upper building in the French Renaissance style being added in 1870 by Raschdorff. Its rich architecture shows at its best in the statues of the Emperors Otto the Great and Maximilian I (by Chr. Mohr) and a frieze containing portraits of other German sovereigns right down to Emperor William I. In the interior the meeting hall of the municipal council, the so-called « Hansa- hall » (24 ft X 107 ft) is worthy of special attention. The name recalls the assembly of the councillors of the Hanseatic ports in November 1367, in which meeting the « Cologne confederation » originated the victorious campaign of the north German towns against Denmark, thus establishing the predominance of the Hansa in the Baltic. The style is advanced Gothic of the 14th century: on the walls, particulary the north wall, there is some rich tracery, which formerly contained some valuable distemper pain- tings, the remains of which are kept in the Town museum. Under lofty canopies along the finely articulated south wall are the statues of the so called 9 heroes, 3 ty- pical figures from heathendom (Hector, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar), 3 from Judaism (Joshua, David, Judas Maccabaeus) and 3 from Christianity (Charlemagne, King Arthur, Godfrey of Bouillon). The large number of escutcheons on the walls, Fin.-Amt. Form. Nr. 62 c. VII. 11. 5000. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p158.jpg) windows and (not original) ceiling points to the period of Cologne's connection with the princely houses and towns and to its own history during the supremacy of the patricians and guilds. The Hansa-hall and first storey of the tower are connected by the so-called Prophet's chamber, built in 1897 by the town architect Heimann. In the cupboards are kept the reference library of the council and part of the municipal silver. The walls are decked with 8 statues of prophets with explanatory scrolls (15th century) and the portraits of some prominent teachers of Cologne University; on the ceiling is to be seen the huge old imperial eagle. A staircase leads to the senate-room (40 ft X 40 ft) on the first floor of the tower. At the time when Cologne was an imperial city, this was the meeting hall of the council. Reproductions of a meeting in the 17th century help us to realise its usages and ornamentation, traces of the latter being preserved in the fine groined ceiling with its portraits of Roman emperors, the marquetry benches along the walls and the magnificent entrance by the sculptor Melchior von Reydt 1603. Closely connected with this in point of time and style is a door (taken from the town armoury) belonging to Commitee room no 29. The walls of this room are hung with Spanish leather tapestry, which formerly decorated the Golden chamber in the townhall. The portraits of the lord-mayors Bachem, Dr. Hermann Becker and Wilhelm Becker and of the coöpted member Rennen were painted by Julius Schrader (Berlin) and presented by the town. Beneath the ceiling of the main staircase gallery is seena frieze with the coat of arms of the Hansa towns and Hanseatic seltlements abroad. On the walls are statues to 8 celebrated mayors and statesmen of Cologne and the two reliefs above the entrances to the Hansa hall represent the verdict of Albert Magnus in the dispute between the Town and Archbishop Konrad of Hochstaden (1252) and the confirmation of the Cologne staple by Emperor Charles IV at Nürnberg (1355). The lower of the large halls overlooking the market — the Muschelsaal — was inaugurated in 1550 and was in former times used chiefly for festive occasions and the magistrate's meetings. Here too, right down to the end of the 18th century were held the sessions of the Rhenish-westphalian district administration. A certain uniformity in the artistic design is produced by the rich rocaille ceiling by N. Singer (1750) and the Gobelins by the Brussels crafts-man Josse de Vos in the beginning of the 18th century. They depict scenes from the Turkish wars and were purchased in 1765 from the heritage of the Cologne Elector Clemens August for the sum of 1650 Rthr. The portrait of Emperor Francis I by George deMarées is set off by a beautifully caroed frame. Between the centre building and the tower is the Löwenhof or Lion court, a name derived from the abovementioned fight of Gryn with the lion which is once again depicted here. Parts of the surrounding arcades with their quaint vaulting date back to the beginning of the 16th century. The Townhall square was formerly shut off from the adjoining streets by mag- nificent porticoes in the baroc style. On the west side is the so-called Spanish buil- ding, begun in 1611, the town hall of which contains the municipal pay office and the chapel, capped by a picturesque ridge-turret. In this chapel, originally a syna- gogue and then a Christian place of worship, the council was wont to attend mass before its sessions. The altar used to be adorned with the huge painting of the patrons of the city, which was transferred to the cathedral in 1810 and is now in the chapel of St. Michael in the ambulatory. This work, executed in 1440 by Stephan Lochner in commission of the council, marks the highest point reached in the brilliant deve- lopment of the old Cologne school.

Visitors take the morning train to Rheims which is reached in time to allow the town to be visited before lunch (see page 20). Leaving Rheims after lunch by motor we are at once on the main road to Berry-au-Bac through which place flows the river Aisne, here the complete destruction and the ruins of the sugar factory show evidence of some of the most ferocious artillery duels in the war, while Hill 108, now a gaping mine crater, gives and idea of the terrible effects of this mode of warfare. The route through Pontavert and Oeuilly on the river Aisne, in the sector from which the French offensive of 1917 was launched, and Fismette crossing the river Vesle is followed to Fismes. Fismes, an old French Town, was mentioned by Caesar in his « Commentaires de la Guerre des Gaules ». It was besieged and taken by the English in 1373 and retaken by the French in 1457 — On February 13-1814 it was taken by the Prussians and entered by Napoleon 1, 3 weeks later. It was the custom of the Kings of France to sleep here on their way to Rheims for the crowning ceremony. In 1914 German troops occupied the Town from September 2nd. to the 11th. and again on May 28th. 1918. It was finally liverated on August 4th. and 5th. by American troops after very severe street fighting. Fismette, to the north was occupied on the 10 th. From here we pass through Coulonges to Chamery, where is the grave of Quentin Roosevelt and the monument erected in his memory, Nesles (the American Cemetery No 608) and the ancient Town of Fere-en-Tardenois, which was the Head Quarters of Marchal French for a short time after the first battle of the Marne. – Long and fierce battles were fought around this town in May 1918 which was retaken by the enemy on the 30th. Epieds was retaken by American troops on july 22/1918 after being lost and retaken 5 times and after 5 days fighting.

Coming up Opposite ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p188.jpg) Bingen is Germanya a statue representing the Empire overlooking the river. It is quite colossal. It is said that the artisan who screwed it together climbed out through the hand. One always notices the Seven Mountains. Grimms Fairytales. The Lorelei rock, where the mountains are a little more sheer and precipitious. Then the most impressive part of the river to me is where the Moselle ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p189.jpg) flows into the Rhine. Just at this point there is a wonderful statue of the Old Emperor William I, occupying a most commanding position. The cities of Bonn and Coblentz were very attractive as we came along. The Dreckenfals were high up, we were told ch the children of the Rhine Land like these in particular. Rhineland very fertile, on the train we reached Bonn at 8 p.m. Godesburg 8:15, numerous boats on the river. flat freight boats.

Starting: from Unter den Linden, corner of Friedrichstrasse at 10:30 to 11 a.m. — Price Mk. 15.— POTSDAM, the ideal residence of the former kings of Prussia, with its numerous castles, imposing historical buil- dings and its beautiful parks and fountains, should be visited by every stranger coming to Berlin. Our big „Mercedes" touring car leaves from Unter den Linden at the above mentioned time, passing through the „Tiergarten" and Charlottenburg, thence coming to the northern entrance of the new automobile race track, the big- gest in Europe. All big automobile meetings take place on this specially built road. We succeeded in obtaining permission for our big touring cars to pass the race track. The road ends almost in Wannsee, where we leave our car to proceed by boat to Potsdam. An hours boat trip gives us time to view the beautiful scenery of the Havel river and lake „Wannsee". Arri- ving in Potsdam the car ist waiting for the visitors to carry them through Potsdam. After a short time for luncheon at the famous „Hotel Einsiedler", we proceed to visit the different palaces at Potsdam. Garrison Church — Tomb of King Frederick the Great. A set of chimes from the church plays a beautiful hymn every half hour. New Palace: Built in 1763 by King Frederick the Great, later on residence of Emperor Wilhelm II. It contains about 200 rooms and a theatre seating 500 guests. „Sanssouci" In the Park of Sanssouci the „Antike Tempel" with the tomb of the late Empress Auguste Victoria. — The historical wind mill. The large fountains. Beautiful terraces lead to the palace Sanssouci, built by King Frederick the Great in 1745. Here the apartments are shown, in which the King lived for almost 40 years and where he died (1786). The palace contains the famous concert room, a picture gallery and library. „Stadt - Schloß" (City palace): built 1670 and altered by King Frederick. After seeing Potsdam and its palaces, we leave Potsdam on a different route, now passing the opposite side of the Havel river, through the little village „Nedlitz". and so get to the „Döberitzer Army Road". From the large bridges which cross the Stössensee at Pichelsdorf, one can see the former fortress of Spandau and upon returning we pass through the new western parts of Berlin, the main thoroughfare „Kurfürstendamm" the rendezvous of cosmopolitan society of Berlin, to Unter den Linden, where the ex- cursion ends. — [Drawing of boat on the water] ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p194.jpg) than I have done since coming over. One memory I have of the 20th of July is that I went to Heber to attend the funeral of David Wilson's mother on that date. There are other memories too. I recall a conversation I had with father, now just 25 years ago today and there are yet other memories. Well we started from Berlin at 11:5 a.m. riding past the famous rose garden that has a statue of the last Kaziarine Kaizarene. She used to attend to the roses herself. Poor lady she died at Dorne Holland ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p195.jpg) in 1921. In 1910 I saw he the adored of the German people. We drove past the Tier Garden, which was once a game park of the Kings and which is truly a most wonderful park for the interior of a city. We came to the automobile track, begun before the war and not completed thence on to Charlottenburg. the favorite Residence of Emperor Fredrick I and Victoria. Through Charlottenburg, we were soon at the Garrison Church where Fredrick the great lies buried. On the street ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p196.jpg) side of the palace is a linden tree. People who had petitions for the king used to stand under that tree from his deck window he could see them and he would call them up. The In front of the Garrison Church is a war monument 12 thousand of the foot gaurd belonging to the first regiment fell in the last war, they called for reserves three times. Inside of the church there are numerous bunches of flags they are German flags now formerrlly they were French Flags, but the treaty of ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p197.jpg) Versailles took all the French flags back to France. B From there we rode to Potsdam. We went through the new Palace which was the Residence of William II when in Potsdam. We passed through some gates that were made just before the Wordl's Fair in Chicago and exhibited there. The palace is ornate. It was built by Fredrick the Great after the seven years war just to show the world that he was not bancrupt. There are four statues of women at each end, they are the queens he regarded as his enemies. Outside the palace one sees the We went into ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p198.jpg) the palace passing through the various rooms, the Emperors, smoking room, his billiard room, the banquent room, the tea room of the Empress, looking out towards her famous rose garden etc. The pre furniture and carpets had been taken out and stored in some of the lower rooms, his bed room could not be entered because things were in it. He claims these things as private property. There is a law suit pending to see if it may be determined which things belong to the state and which to the Emperor. He would like to sell a good ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p199.jpg) deal of his stuff to the state. Then we drove back to San Souci. San Souci means without care. Fredrick the Great had placed a comma after the san or without making it mean, without the palace is care. The palace is full of paintings, presents from other monarchs, some beautiful malacite from Russia. The clock is there that Napoleon took to Paris, the Germans had it brought back. A painting of Fredrick the Great and his dogs; we look through a window at the side where he used to look out and see his dogs. Paintings of Fredrick the Great are rather numerous in the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p200.jpg) German Palaces. In the Old Garrison Church as we entered we saw the tomb of Fredrick the Great German Guides never fail to tell that when Napoleon visited this place with his soldiers, He said gentlemen take off your hats for if this man were alive the chances are we would not be here. We went in to the garden and saw where Fredricks favorite horses were buried also his dogs. We followed a path to a round building built by Fredrick the Great for an orangery or something of that sort her the last Empress, of Kanarem of William the second hes buried, poor lady she died at Dorn in Holland in 1921. It is at San Souci that the loveliest palace gardens in Germany ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p201.jpg) are to be found. There one gets one of those long Vistas through the trees. There are steps leading down and apples growing on the trellises. One of these Marion was tempted to pick on our trip in 1906. But going and coming we saw the famous mill. After Fredrick the Great build San Souci he was anoyed by the turning of a mill wheel, which a miller had nearby. He went to the miller and told him he could not sleep because of the mill and that he wanted to buy. The miler said the mill had belonged to his father etc. and that he did not want to sell. But said Fredrick I am the king and I can take it from you. A said the miller if you ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p202.jpg) attempt it I will go to the Judge. Fredrick knew that he would, so they fixed a price that suited the miller and the king bought the mill. They always saw the miller got the better of the king having charged such an extravagant price. On our way out we went partly by water crossing Wansee. Coming back we took the train to Dresden. We left Berlin on a 7 o' clock train arriving in Dresden at something after 10 o' clock They served us dinner. July 20, 1925 We very much liked our Hotel in Dresden, it was near the station and called the Continental. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p203.jpg) What we liked in particular was the beautiful garden with w its lovely big chestnut trees and flower beds beneath the music we listened to during meals and the fine bite of fare. Our guide a native of Dresden a real Saxon came to the hotel at 9 a.m. We first went to the gallery. I have always prized the Dresden Art gallery very much, but it seemed more wonderful than ever. August the strong began to collect. They seem not only to have pictures of the Masters, but some of the very best pictures of the Masters. The Sistine Madonna was in an Italian Church in a not very large town. It was an altar piece. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p204.jpg) August the strong purchasted it for a fine some then and brought it to Dresden. There is Mantana's Holy Family very much prized. They have of Van Dykes. The painting of King Chas. the I, the queen and the three children, known as the Stewart Children; they are magnificent. They have of Rembrant a picture of his wife, also one of himself. A wonderf picture of Abraham binding Isaac for the sacrifice several splendid pictures of Hermits, two of of Haagar being sent into the Wilderness by Abraham very worthy. In one Sarah is sitting just behind where Abraham stands Hagar and Ishmael are going forth and on Isaac's face is a smile. The chocolate girl that ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p205.jpg) Baker used on his chocolate packages is there. The best known of all the Vestill Virgins, but a wonderful Dand. A Ganymede and the Eagle. Ganymede is picking berris berries and playing in the fields when the Eagle comes along the Eagle picks him up he crys and the little things is making a bit of water as he goes up it it is all so natural. Then we went to the green Vault and saw the Crown Jewels of Saxony. They are exceedingly beautiful quite equal to the Crown Jewels of Denmark, even better. There are pearls and pearls, and amethysists, and emeralds and diamons, and there is a here a very lage diamond known as ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p206.jpg) the green diamond it is a very pale green. This August the strong likeed scenes from East India. There is a piece of work fulled with jewels of the Great Mogne sitting on his throne and some of his courtiers about him. It took 70 men 7 years to make the work. Jewels sparkle everywhere. The collection of ivory and all sorts of things is very famous. One finds several things that belonged to Martain Luther, they speak of him as Dr. Martain Luther. His ring with his seal is there. It was at Israels just not of Frankfurt where we visited the Wartbing One July 21, 1925 We visited the gallery again, purchased post cards. Dresden is the best place I have ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p207.jpg) ever been in for fine post cards, saw an exhibit of China the royal exhibit in the palace, near where the Green Vault is. There are so many great big vases from China. When we were here before in 1910, the guide told us that the Chineese Emperor lived some soldiers from August the Strong, and paid him back in these China Vases. There are certainly enough of them to make the story sound plausable. We saw a modern exhibit of Meisen China, very fine. Then we went to the Modern Gallery which was one of the palaces of the King. In it at the present time is the original of J.G.M. Hoffmans. The Christ Child in the Temple. We were sorry to be able to find only one of the Hoffmans originals. When we were ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p208.jpg) here before we saw in the Gallery. Christ and the Rich Young Man as well as all the pictures we saw at Hoffman's own home. He was then 80 yrs of age and he was working on a painting of Elizabeth of Tarnnhauser fame. On the afternoon of July we had a drive through Dresden. It is a very attractive city. A It has a very beautiful opera house, every musician in it a professor our guide told us. He said the opera orchestra furnished the music for the Royal Church which is Catholic on Sunday. There was a little passage from the Kings appartments in the palace to the Royal high in Church. We were shown the staircase down which the kings wife came. She was running away with her children's berther. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p209.jpg) a baby was born after she left the king. She finally married an Italian musician She The King got the girl back. She made the best match of any of the children, so they say. When the Socialists got in they asked the King to abdacate - he answered them in pure Saxon, "Certainly gentlemen, You will do your dirt alone." One of his daughters married an Austrian princ archduchess. The opera House in Dresden is very fine and the park. They had an exhibition of modern furniture on and a very fine exhibition hall. They say they run a different exhibitions each year during the summer months. The hygiene exhibition at Vieena ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p210.jpg) Vienna is theres. July 22. We came back to Berlin the evening of the 21, took the train at 3 was in Berlin by 6. The next day with which was July 22, we went first to the palace of Wm I, Emperor of Germany. The Palace is after all the most interesting to my mind that we saw in Germany. So many personal things. It was a well known fact that the Emperor was found of blue, many beautiful blue vases and stones from Russia. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p211.jpg) pictures of his mother Queen Louise, no large painting, but her picture in evidence. The most beautiful painting imaginable of Victoria the English p[---]ers who married her son Fredrick. She is in her wedding gown. We were shown the table where the old Emperor used to sit and council with Bismark. He on one side Bismark on the other. The apartments are very fine. He lived down stairs and the Empress Augusta up stairs. They did not get on very well. She likeed the French people ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p212.jpg) and particularly ther style of doing things. They saw she disliked Bismark very much and that when he would come she would walk over their head and do everything she could to disturb their conference below. There is a large front French window leading out from the Emperor's sitting room. At noon the special or royal guard used to pass up the street and the Emperor would step to the window to see them. It is said he would say Bedaker says I do it so I must. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p213.jpg) A very elaborate painting of one of his grandaughters in he wedding dress is a painting one could not easily pass by. Next we visited the Palace of the Late Emperor. Kaiser Wm II. He has taken the personal things away. The same thing, paintings tapestry, and lovely Vases. He had has a picture of the Castle of Hohenzallern there. Also something like a banner or something of that sort taken from W[---]s. Luther is supposed to have stood under it at his trial. Then we went to the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p214.jpg) Berlin picture gallery. No to sharp contrast to the one at Dresden for its lack of paintings. We did not see the countess Potocka. Queen Louise and the two princes, and the one of Queen Louise was in the Cologne Exhibition. In the afternoon There was pletty plenty of throne room in Wm II Castle for him to sit about in and look austere. July 23, In the afternoon we drove past the Reichtach building Reichtag building, door down the famous Seiges Allie, with its ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p215.jpg) Prussian Kings. The only Hohenzollern there is Emperor Wm I. saw the famous column of victory Th Our guide who is smarting under the lash of German defeat said, at these are French Cannon at least they could not take them back. Then we drove to Charlottenburg saw the Masoleum. There lies Queen Louise, a beautiful statue the goiter on her neck showing at her side is the her husband. probably Below them is the Empiror William I and at his side his wife the Empress Augusta. It is one of the finest ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p216.jpg) mosoleums in Europe. The blue light is most impressive. July 23, 1925 The next day we were on our way to Denmark. As we We went for 2 ½ hours by boat. The train would just go on to a boat the passengers get off and so we would go along. Denmark is feat. The fields did not seemed hardly as fertile as in Germany, yet there was a good deal of hay and some wheat in evidence. All through Germany we had seen the black and white cow. In Denmark the red cow was in evidence, very good sort of cow a Danish girl told us. Reached ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p217.jpg) Compenhagen in the evening in time for dinner. Were at Hotel Phoenix. July 24, 1923 Guide came and took us first to the Church of our lady or the Cathedral In this Church are to be seen the Christ of Thorwaldensen and the twelve apostles. They are marvels of beauty. I think Thorwaldensen's Christ is my favorite. Peter and John are also very good. In the ante-rooms on each side of the church is a marble pannel let in the wall one is the baptism of Christ, the other the Last Supper. They are all extremely fine. Then we went to the Thorwaldensen museum. There he lies surrone surrounded by ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p218.jpg) his own works. originals in many instances his famous day and night being here but in some instances plaster casts. The original of Jason and the Golden Fleece is there. It was in Italy but the Italians finally sold it to the Danish. Thorwaldensen was struggling to stay in Italy and study, and was just about to give up in despair and return home. when Lord Osope an Englishman in Italy saw the Jason bought it, and he paid him so much he was enabled to stay there. Thorwaldensen has used Greek mythology very often as well as Christian themes. His Day and night are held in very high repute. Many of the paintings in the museum were Thorwaldensens personal ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p219.jpg) property and when he died he gave them to the state. He undoubtedly sent many pieces of statuary to famous artists with whom he was acquainted to Italy and they returned the compliment by sending him a picture, consequently this one man has given to his native country both a gallery of sculptor and an Art Gallery. There are many fine portraits of Thorwaldensen painted by Danish Artists and several busts. One painting in particular attracted attention. When Thorwaldensen came back to Denmark or Danmark as they write it and pronounce it, the King met him in great style. There is a painting across showing the event with two rainbows. He certainly was a rainbow of promise to his nation. Then we went to the Rosenborg The story goes that the palace ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p220.jpg) caught on fire. One of the royal palaces is very close to the art gallery. They made an effort to save the Palace but the King who was Christian the 9th said. "Save the words. "Works of Thorwaldensen, Denmark can have many Kings, but only one Thorwaldensen." The two Kings that we heard most about was Christen 4th who has the reputation of building Compenhagen and Christian 9th. Christian the night 9the is the Grandfather of the present king Christian 10. Then we visited Rosenborg Castle. Rosenborg Castle has in it furniture of interest paintings of kings and queens of Denmark. It was built by Christian 4th and is noted for its rose garden from which it ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F4_p221.jpg) took its name. The thee big lions are there which represent Denmarks three Islands. The last time they were used was at the festivity that was held when the kings brother Carl was elected king of Norway, and is now Haakon. The Crown Jewels which are very beautiful are guarded carefully They are let down each night into a hole in the floor and brought up each morning. The last few Danish Kings have not been Crowned as it costs so much to put over a Coronation ceremony The museum contained two clocks that are amusing - One clock is ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p002.jpg) [Written sideways] Sat Sun Mon Tue Wed Thurs Fri 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 26 26 52 [Not written sideways] mss. 120 ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p004.jpg) a birdcage with the face and hands of the clock on the bottom of the cage. Birds are in the cage and when the clock strikes the 12th birds sing. Another clock near it plays a very lovely piece of music when the clock strikes. From Rosenbourg we went to the Copenhagen Art Gallery, there we saw the pictures that are being painted by the modern Danish artists, some very good. We walked thought the park home through the park home on ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p005.jpg) our way through the park passing the Statue of Hans Christian Anderson the writer of fairy tales. After luncheon at the Hotel Phoenix which was is a very good hotel we went for a drive. There is a very great deal of splendid forest country through Denmark. We passed along through what is known as Danish or Danska Dir Switzerland until we reached the Sea. It is a beautiful drive called the Danish Riviera. On our way we looked through ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p006.jpg) the trees and saw the Danish San Souci. We also saw the place where the Dowager Queen of Russia is living, poor dear soul, how her heart must ache when she thinks how the Russians treated her son Nicholas his wife and the children; it is a great wonder she escaped. Very near her is the palace of the King the Queen of Fredrick 8th, who is the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p007.jpg) mother of the present king of Denmrark and of Norway. She is 70 yeas of Age at present. Old Christian [-] 9th of Denmark had a family of six children who had remarkable careers. Her eldest son became Fredrick 8th of Denmark, her second son was made King of Greece. He was killed by a crank. Her daughter Alexandria became the wife of Edward VII of England, ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p008.jpg) and a younger sister married the Czar of Russia and was the mother of Nicholas who was murdered in Russia. They used to call the wife of Christian 9th the mother-in-law of all Europe. We drove to the sea and saw the daintly painted bath houses belonging to the houses out in the Sea. It is always a great asset to a city to have a coast line near the Sea. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p009.jpg) The Danish American Line, is a very noted line. One of the real sights in Copenhagen is to look down a business street and see a steamer in dock it can often be seen. In the evening we went to Tivoli. Tivoli is the most wonderful Recreation garden I have ever seen. Its It is bus in the heart of the city and seems at the same time to be in the heart of a forest. The trees and gardens are beautiful the big auditoriums ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p010.jpg) are lovely, the colors bright and attractive and the lighting very brilliant. Sweden has falls so Denmark buys its electricity from Sweden cheaper than it could manufacture it. The music is one of the particular features of this garden. Such a glorious band, it made me think of John Philip Sousas band at the San Francisco Exposition. They plaid on the grounds, then they gave concerts in the hall, they had ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p011.jpg) a fine tenor singer there. The last concert of the evening was given from about ten 30 to 11:30 and was sup perhaps the finest. The Vaudville show are or better the variety show was high classed and amusing. Had an opportunity to see what the Danish people think a Troll is. Little funny men with white hair. Any one may have high classed entertainment, if he choses. If he does not care for it there is Cony Island stuff there. The interesting ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p012.jpg) feature is that it only costs a Danish Crown for admittance which is about 25 cents in American money. The Danish have certainly accom- plished something in this pleasure ground. There are two very wonderful cafe's that open on to the grounds that are reputed to have orchestras of 72 pieces. July 26. We had a drive in one of those big touring Cars. Through the French Switzerland once ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p013.jpg) again, through Skods Skodsborg, and Selttin, and Snekkersten the Danish Riviera finally reaching Elsinore where the crowned heads of Denmark once lived. We visited Kronborg on the Sea Side. It is a fort Fort, or at least was a fort the guns are still there facing seaward. It is this castle that Shakespeare used for Hamlet. It is grim and grey and has a threatning. It was built in 1580 and takes the place of the castle that the people say Hamlet was born ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p015.jpg) in. We in We were supposed to come back to Marienlyst, where it is claimed the Castle of the Danish King was at Elsinore after Krongbourg became a military fort. For considerable a considerable length of time they have been showing a grove at Marienlyst as Hamlets grove, but some one in authority has forbidden them showing it any more as they feel it is a hoax. In any event ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p016.jpg) we saw Elsinore and the party took dinner there. Then we visited Fredensborg. It is the autumn palace of the King of Denmark, Every September and October he lives there. It is an attractive palace. Very fine paintings on the celi ceilings done by Italian painters. A room that looked out on through garden, through which the sea might be seen in there ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p017.jpg) places through the long avenues of trees is one of the most exquisite rooms in the entire palace. It has beautiful pale blue brocade Satin Curtains, lovely paintains on the wall and is the room where Christian 9th used to hold his have his Christmas tree when the grand children came from England Russia etc. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p018.jpg) There is one wonderful painting on the wall it is of George King of Greece greeting his father when he had been king of Denmark 40 years. A very beautiful and yet very unusual room is one that looks as though it were done in blue enamel almost. It is all blue and white very high. A gallery for music and spectators it is ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p019.jpg) the main banquet room of the palace. Then we came back to Frederiksborg palace and Church. The Church is marvelous, and we the pra It is used by the people of the village for the palace burned consequently the king has not lived there for many years; it is at present a national museum. The most interesting thing about this very highly decorated church is the fact ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p020.jpg) that in the prayer rooms one finds paintings from the Bible. You can trace the entire life of Christ through in these paintings. They are very clear very beautiful, and very lovely in their coloring. The t triumphal Entry into Jerusalem is especially fine. You see camels donkeys everything it is a typical oriental procession glorified by the beauty of color the artist uses. It is done by one of the very ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p021.jpg) best of Danish artists and is certainly one of the best paintings using Biblical material that I have seen anywhere. Christian 4th who turned out to be such a wonderful King for Denmark, and at whom the Norwegians are poking a good deal of fun just now, was left fatherless at four years of age. A Chancelor did the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p022.jpg) work of the government until his death. One of the noted pictures in the Frederiksborg Castle is one showing the death of the Chancelor as he hands over the reigns of government to the young prince. Then we see a picture of the prince Christian 4th when he is crowned it is a very lovely picture. The prince is about 18 years of age ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p023.jpg) in his a wonderful painting by a comparatively recent author and he has put into his street scene people looking out of the window a well known couple of Denmark. They seem to recognize the pictures at once. Finally we got home at near 7 o'clock. Egert M Larsen one of the Missionaries was waiting for us. We went down to the mission headquarters where we met President Hansen and wife. The next day Presen Elder Larsen was our ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p024.jpg) July 27, 1925. guide. He took us to a very lovely museum of sculptor and painting. Several paintings of the mother appealed to me. A piece of sculpture called Mother Earth, a woman with many babies was in the garden. The most attractive paintings in the gallery is the Wood Cutter and Death by Millet.

There is a very beautiful Ophelia in the Gallery. Then we took a walk to the round tower, which gave us a commanding view of the city. This tower was built by Christian 4th. There are only a few steps at the top. The rest of the way is a path that goes round and round up which Christian the 4th ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p032.jpg) used to drive his chariot There is a saying in Copenhagen that you have not seen Copenhagen until you have seen the Round Tower.

It is said there are more bgc bycicles bicycles bycicles in Copenhagen than any other city in ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p033.jpg) the world. I feel like saying let us hope so. We visited the Botanical Gardens. July 28, 1925 That day we left Copenhagen for Oslo in Norway. We d rode in in a train to the Danish border, Then then our train was run on to a ship and in 15 minutes we had crossed Shagarak and were in Elsinborg Sweden. All day long we rode through Sweden towards evening crossing ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p034.jpg) over into Norway. The farms looked prosperous. Every little way some one would come and dust the cars and clean the windows. The whole country looked clean and well kept. We saw the cythe being used for cutting wheat but mostly a horse drawn self-binder. We saw a McCormck Machine at work. Saw a good many American automobiles. one a few Oldsmobiles. As The houses were neat, looked more ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p035.jpg) like the U. S. A. As soon as we We had passed a number of lakes on the way. As soon as we came into Norway, we began to see exquisite white frame houses, exquisite in architecture and in their pure whiteness on the green hills grass covered hills and among the green trees. These houses are very like many we have at home. They would be a credit to any country. They look like real homes. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p036.jpg) July 29, 1925 We visited Oslo - Christiania Kristiania. Our guide name is Haakan Magnus. His first name is the name of the present king of Norway. Haakan was Carl of Denmark, the brother of the present king. The queen, Queen Maud is the daughter of Alexandria and Edward VII. We first visited the National Theatre. Thee are three names in front of the theatre[-] of Norwegian Dramatists the first is Ibsen. There is a statue of Ibsen in front of the National Theatre. It paints him with big ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p037.jpg) heavey boots on. Our guide said it was absurd that Iben was very much of a Dandy very fastidious in his dress. The second nname begins with Hol. The last name on the national theatre is Bjoronsen He was the national poet. He aided Ibsen the guide said to get recognition. Everything Norway did Bjornsen was part of it. Ibsen is only seen in his plays. Then we went to see the two huge Vikings and into a museum where we saw some of the things found with the Vikings. They stay ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p038.jpg) of of the Queen and many other beautifully carved wooden ornaments. We visited the Art One of the finest exhibits we saw was the Amudsen Exhibition an exhibition of Esqu[---]an dogs used by Amudsen in his expeditions to the Poles. Also we saw some wax models with the fur suits of exqumeaus. They were perfectly beautiful. One for a lady. He told us the way the Esqumau girl flirted with the men. shocking. During our walk we came in contact ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p039.jpg) with the Grand Hotel. Here Ibsen used to come every day past the University where the students watched for him to the Hotel to read the foreign papers and drink his coffee. We visited the Art Gallery. There were many splendid pictures in it showing th[-]at there is not dearth of painters among the Norwegians. I was especially pleased to note the paintings of a goodly number of women, and to note the a large number of the paintings had ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p040.jpg) been purchased by the women and placed in the gallery. Another thing that struck me forcefully was the number of paintings depicting the struggle for life. One gave the picture of a man his wife some children and a dog. The man looked to God for help, the wife to her husband and even the dog showed in his forlorne expression the intensity of the struggle. Another showed a man and woman, the man could not sleep because of the fear of being overcome ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p041.jpg) by the struggle. One we saw show a room where the husband comes home and tells her his job is finished and he can get no more work. He is facing winter. In the afternoon we drove through the grounds where the kings palace is. It is not a palace in the sense that other king's homes are palaces. It is really only a gentleman's home. We saw his stables. Indeed we were riding behind [---] we were riding behind the best pair of horses we had ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p042.jpg) ridden behind bf before. The guide said they were from the royal stables. The grounds were pretty nothing exceptional. he drew our attention to the fact that there were no guards around the kings palaces not even a dog watched it. It would seem that the King of Norway is not fearful of anyone killing him among his own people and he is willing to take a chance on the others. We hear many interesting things about the kindness of the king, seems ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p043.jpg) Amudsens Comes Home Great anxiety was felt for Amudsen as he had started to the North Pole once more. On the 12 of July he returned home unarmed. He was received first at the harbor, then he was driven at once to the palace where he saw the king for a minute or two. Then he went to a platform near the palace where the streets had been roped in. One thousand men were there who sang the Norwegian ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p044.jpg) to pop up and help where- ever neede needed. Norway seems to contrast with Sweden in the matter of show. The Swedish people seem to like show. We visited a distance from the hotel a very interesting Folks Museum. The old houses built by the country folk two three four hundred and even a greater number of years ago. We saw the houses where they made the fire in the middle of the floor and let the smoke out through a hole in the roof. Later they got ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p045.jpg) National hymn. Flags flying everywhere. The next day he din had dinner with the King ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p046.jpg) the notion of putting the fire in the corner and that evolved into the chimney. The most interesting churches in Norway are the stone or wooden churches. In this Folks- museum was a church 800 years old a very fine example of the hard wood stone church. Carved wood furnished the touch of ornament. That evening Anthony Lund called to see us. He scho shocked us by a theft he told us of that resulted in the loss of a watch fob given his grandfather by the Scandinavian Society at home. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p047.jpg) Our guide in Oslo was an artist, consequently we found him especially interesting in picture galleries. An undoubtedly did a good deal of sketching for newspapers, had sketched Ibsen, Bjorensen. But he was a bundle of prejudices. As we drove about Oslo we were shown the Noble house, where the people are located who bestow the Noble prize. From that house Roosevelt lectured after receiving the Noble prize. As we drove about we were shown the place where ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p048.jpg) He said in the country districts he had seen the people living in a house so primitive that they had a piece of board with a stick hanging down into the room and that when the fire was moved that made they moved the piece of stick to let the smoke out. July 30, 1925 We went up to Cook's office to see that every thing was O.K. At 8:05 a.m. we left Oslo for Skein arriving there at 1:37 p. m. Skien is the town where Ibsen was born and where ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p049.jpg) the Ambassador of Russia lives, a woman, probably the first woman to be appointed an ambassador. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p050.jpg) he worked in the drug store. There is nothing about the town to suggest that it should give birth to a genius. Indeed it is a very great compliment to Ibsen's genius that he that he should have survived his surroundings. We walked towards the Church the most pretentious building in the town and half way up we saw the statue of Ibsen, a very good one as we reached the top of the hill we looked back a bit of parking that was placed right in the line of the canal ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p051.jpg) was the prettiest stretch in the little town and Ibsens bust was in the center of the little green stretch with the church furnishing it on the brow of the hill. Undoubtedly Ibsen is the most important person born in Skien, and they have given him the place of honor. The museum in Skein Skien contained some of the furniture of his study, presented to the town by his son, there is also some of the furniture that belonged to his father here. there. That night we had a lot of sport ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p052.jpg) at the supper table. The Norwegians serve a hot dish it is for the first course at supper. It may be meat and potatoes or it may be a chop and potatoes. After one is supposed to go and selected cold cold food for the after dishes. They have a table laden with meats and cheese not an uncommon thing to find 7 or 8 kinds of meat 6 or 7 kinds of cheese. We saw just such a table in Oslo and also in Kkien. We wonder how they keep food from waisting. Norway produces ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p053.jpg) has silver mines. They have some clever silversmiths, for they make most attractive silver ware. We are seeing more silver ware on the tables here than we have seen anywhere since we left England. July 31, 1925. Left Skien for Dalen. We ate both breakfast and dinner on the steamer. Up the canal until we reached a series of locks. Someone said we passed through 17 locks. When we were passing through a serries of six, we walked about with our Norwegian friend Mr. H. of Cambridge New Zealand. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p054.jpg) We picked blue berries, wild rap raspberries and straw berries. We were very much surprised that there was so much wild fruit. Wild raspberries and blue berries seem to be everywhere. The hazel nut also grows. W Finally we found ourselves riding through a canyon of high mountains and green trees. The thing that distinguished the Canyon from other canyons we had known is that the river is deep enough that to be navigat navigated with a steamer. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p055.jpg) In the evening we arrived at Dalen. The next morning at 8: a.m. we left Dalen. for. Aug 1, 1925 At 8 a.m. we left Dalen in an auto for Odda. We were enthusiastic for over the scenery, high mountains covered with pine trees, but the special glory of the Norwegian mountains appears to be the waterfalls. Such waterfalls perhaps can be found no where else save in Norway. We found three in a group large beautiful water falls, tumbling over the mountains. One might imagine ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p056.jpg) that there were a gathering of all the mountain cows, milked by fairies and that these fairies prodigal of their wealth and tipped it all on the top of the mountain to come dashing down. We doubtless saw more beautifel beautiful waterfalls later but this was our first sight and we were impressed. At noon we ate dinner at Haukeliseter Hotel way up in the mountains. It is one of those places that the Norwegian calls a Satyr, that is the way it is pronounced. They go into the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p057.jpg) mountains and milk the cows and goats and make the cheese for the winter. At 7 p.m. we arrived at Odda, where we were located at the Grand Hotel. We were Our rooms looked over an arm of the Hardanger Fjord. We were in what they call the Tel Marken country. Aug 2, 1925 This was Sunday. We walked up the road. Vilate Mr. Hendriksen and myself to one of the big falls we had passed in the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p058.jpg) automobile drivve the day before. We saw the peasants going to Church. They wore the white waist a bodice of red flannel embroidered in front with beads with a girdle embroidered in beads and a lovely white apron over a pleated black skirt. The white apron had the Hardan Hardanger embroidery at the bottom. Some of the women wore a peculiar white cap with two ripples behind. We were fortunate in seeing so many in ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p059.jpg) the native costume, they dress up in them on Sunday. Different costumes in Norway. They hand the hay over long strips of wire or wood or rope to dry. They have a great deal of trouble getting it to dry. They have an odd little cart they call a stolkjarre, with a seat behind where the people sit o driver sits, the people sit in front. They have small hay wagons. Fish is a staple of the country, ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p060.jpg) one sees sardines on all their tables. They have a brand they call Queen Maud. Aug 3, 1925 That day we took the boat or small steamer at Odda for at 2:30 p.m for Eide. We were sailing throug the Hardanger Cr Fjord. Beautiful mountains on each side covered with green and little villages all along the road. The church steeple always looks pictuesque from the mountain side. That evening we arrived at Eide. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p061.jpg) There were an unusual number of people at the Hotel. Here we met the Hotel Keeper who said that they were not as many people going into the country this year as last year, that they were taking cruses along the coast. He is the man that our guide in Oslo asked us to tell that Old Magnus is still living. We are rejoicing over the good milk in Norway, they give it to us to drink whenever we ask for it at our meals. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p062.jpg) Aug 3, 1925 We left Eide in an automobile at 9 am. We arrived at Voss at 10:20. We saw once more some magnificent water falls between between I Eida and Voss. Here we walked about. My attention was attracted to the flowers in the garden. Many of the old fashioned pinks. Mr Hendricks told us that they are more hardy than the carnations and that is why the Norwegian uses them. The roses were pretty. We saw a frame built or stone church, probably not ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p063.jpg) very old. They put shingles very low down on their towers of a different color that gives an unusual effect and makes the church rather distinctive. Mr H. left us at Voss, he was going back to Oslo to his people. We left Voss at 11 and reach Stalheim at 12 a.m. Here we walked for ½ hour. This was a glorious walk. Every Everywhere we turned we saw. We passed two three glorious waterfalls, and of a great deal of volume. The road wound about so that we ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p064.jpg) encountered the same waterfall more than once. Always the magnificent mountains covered with the green pine tree. Finally at the foot of a steep hill we came to our automobile We got in drove rode along until we came to Gudenvangen at 2:3 2: p.m. We stayed a very short time here; took the steamer at 2:30 from at Gudvangen. We had dinner on board some of those delicious potatoes that we fi[-]nd in Norway, boiled with brown gravey. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p065.jpg) Now we were going through glorious scenery. Before we reached Gudvangen we had noticed the tiny straws coming from the very tops of the mountains. Now we saw the tiny stream, some time the veil like fall and other times a real rushing torrent, tumbling over the top of these mountains, high like our mountains at home, into the deep river that carried our steamer along. At other times we looked and ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p066.jpg) saw Canyon Gorges running in other directions. Great canyons running into our Ca Canyon with this extraordinary stream. At 6:45 we arrived at Balholm Balholm were we changed steamers. There were children at the steamer with cherries and goosberries to sell. They are just ripe in Norway now and are very large. On we went, pretty soon the glacier could be seen. At 9 p.m. we arrived at Fjerland. We ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p067.jpg) had covered a good deal of country from Stalheim to to Fjoerland which was our destination. We had come a distance and were now on the Fjoerland Fjord. When we left we should go down the Fjoerland Fjord to Sogne Fjord. This is the big fjord that leads to the sea and on which we shall finally go to Bergen. Aug 4, 1925 Had breakfast. Good many people at the Hotel. A pleasant Englishman who says this is his 7th ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p068.jpg) trip to Norway, his wife and his neices sat opposite us at the table. At 10, we started for the glacier. The Balestrand Fjord is a little [--]ig, as it were by Balholm. very beautiful. The Sogne fjord is the longest and perhaps the deepest Fjord in the world [-]ere as nearly all writers point out we have both wildness and beauty. Birch woods are seen all over. At 10 a.m. W we went out to visit the Bøya Glacier. This glacier is a broad stream of ice from the mountain tops to the bottom of the valley. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p069.jpg) Hotel Mundal Fjærland Sognefjord Norway 53 Rooms - 80 Beds - Baths - Lawn-tennis etc. PROPRIETOR: O, DAHLE [Photograph of Hotel] ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p070.jpg) [Image of boat, water, and mountains with caption "Mundal in Fjœrland."] THE SOGNEFJORD is the longest and perhaps the deepest fjord in the world. Like a huge tree, with branches miles in lenght, it extends eastward through the highlands. At its outer course the branches are comparatively short, but in the inner part they are long and form a huge crown to the stem. As the highlands in- crease in height the more we pass to the east, these arms of the fjord become immense ravines with steep precipitous sides. At Balestrand the main fjord extends some di- stance to the north, and at the spot where it again bends to the east there opens the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p071.jpg) FJÆRLANDSFJORD. Amongst the numerous branches of the Sogne- fjord this is one of the most interesting and attrac- tive, possessing both wildness and beauty, and containing the typical and lovely scenery of the western fjords. It extends in a northerly direction for a distance of 26 kilometers right towards the highland plateau of the Jostedals Glacier. At its outer end there are high mountains on either side, at the inner part there appear numerous valleys whereby the lines are broken and the scenery entirely changed. At the Farm HAMRUN we have a glorious pano- rama of the inner fjord with mountains and glaciers in the background. Birch woods and fertile green cover the steep mountain sides up to the limits of vegetation, and there follows a series of glaciers, huge stones and rocks until the summit is reached at a height of 1200 to 1400 meters above the sea. Our steamer glides through the grey green glacier water up to Mundal pier which lies one or two kilometers from the end of the fjord. This is the centre of the district where the church, hotel and country stores are situated. THE HOTEL MUNDAL was built in the year 1891 and opened for guests the first time on June 29th, of the same year, and could thus celebrate its 25 year's jubilee in 1916. From the hotel there is a beautiful view towards the north in over the fjord with mountains and glaciers in the background. There is also a beauti- ful view to the west. Close to the hotel there is a granite stone in memory of King Oscar's visit to Fjærland in 1879. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p072.jpg) [Photograph of the glacier and people and cows near it with the following subscript and caption] BØYUNSERÆEN FJARLAND SOGN. Bøya Glacier. Some minutes walk from the hotel monolith has been erected in memory of the authoress Bolette C. Pavels Larsen who wrote sketches in the Sogne dialect. EXCURSIONS from the hotel: 1. To Supphelle Glacier, on foot 4 hours there and back, by motor-car 2 hours. 2. To Bøya Glacier, on foot 4½ hours there and back, by carriage 3 hours. These glaciers differ considerably. Bøya Glacier consists of a continuous stream of ice right from the highlands down to the bottom ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p073.jpg) [image of glacier and houses with caption "Supphelle Glacier."] of the valley. Although it extends down as low as 158 meters above sea level we nevertheless still feel that we are in the Highlands when near it. This is also evinced by the vegetation, several highland plants growing near by. It is especially distinguished in the spring by its comparatively clean ice. The environs are impressive. The lowest part of Supphelle Glacier is situ- ated only 58 meters above the level of the sea, i. e. 100 meters lower than the above. It is however completely separated from the glaciers in the highlands and is thus a secondary ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p074.jpg) glacier. The large and small pieces of ice which daily fall down the side of the mountain from the upper glacier, freeze together and form a compact mass down in the valley, thus making a new glacier. A mass of ice of the size of the Supphelle Glacier, put down at the height of 50 meters above the level of the sea, and lying there surrounded on more than three sides by luxuriant vegetation, fruitful fields, meadows and gardens at a distance of only one kilometer, is indeed a natural phenomenon. 3. To both glaciers by carriage 5 hours. 4. To Mundal Sæter, a) Heimstølen 2—3 hours. b) Fjeldstølen 5—6 hours. 5. To Horpedal, Farm Sæter. Electric power station, by boat 1 hour, on foot 2—3, in all 3—4 hours. 6. To Hamrum Sæter, a) the lower one, 2—3 hours, b) the upper one, 6—8 hours, c) Nanshaug 8—9 hours. 7.

To Sogndal, 12—14 hours. Stamnes, Kr.a ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p075.jpg) At the bott the bottom of it is only 158 meters above sea level. Where it ends one sees great caverns, from one of these caverns a comes a big flow of water, but the blue crevices are perfectly enchanting. This very clear and very beautiful. It is the light blue shade that these glaciers take on that deepens into the darker shades some times. This glacier is cleaner than any we saw in Switzerland. Came up and lunched and once more relished the Norwegian potatoes. At 3 p.m. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p076.jpg) we took the motor car for another trip trip to a glacier known as the Supphelle Glacier. This glacier shows a great snow field at the top. Then there is a break then the flow comes completely down the mountain side and completely crossed the canyon. In was more massive than the one we saw in the morning and is in two parts. It is not nearly so beautiful as it carries dirts with it. It is literally a great ice river. It was obliging enough while ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p077.jpg) we were there to break partly at the top, first thundering and then crashing down below It looked like a water fall the snow moved so rapidly it seemed to be powdered snow as it fell. Aug 5th. This morning we are still at Fjord Fjoerland. We took a walk along the side of the fjord. We saw a man cutting hay on the side of a hill. he laughed, calling his cythe "a little machine". Took the boat a 1 p.m for Balholm. Bolhol ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p078.jpg) Balholm has the finest situation of any of the tourists resorts on the fjords, and the finest of all the hotels. It was here Kaiser William the II was located when the war broke out some people think he went up there to pretend he knew nothing about the course of events. He used to have his navy come there and review them. People say he never could review them on the open sea that he got seasick. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p079.jpg) a short distance from the hotel at Balholm where the land juts out a bit, is a statue of an old Norwegian king placed there by Kaiser William II The Norwegians dont like him, it is said that he sent 15000 of their seamen to the bottom during the war. The Norwegians dont appreciate the gift and will often reply to an enquiry about it. Yes, " that is Methussela out there. The boat from Balholm to Bergen ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p080.jpg) was crowded. We were glad to have the night over. On the way from Fjoerland to Balho Balholm I ni talked with a young fellow who served in the British Army although the Campagn in Palestine. On the boat two nurses at the International Council of Nurses at Finland. There conversation was most interesting, collected material for magazine. Aug 6 Arrived in Bergen a unique city built on the hills and ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p081.jpg) the fjord, with the North Sea easily perceptible beyond the ilands. We are at the Norge Hotel the best hotel in Bergen. Bergen had a fire not long ago that burned many of her buildings and In she is rather short of hotels. In the main the houses are frame houses, As I look from my hotel window which is on the front street I see a good many frame houses painted white. They look very pretty set amongst the green trees. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p082.jpg) Directly beneath my bedroom window is a clump of trees, before it is some water. The water in the little pool comes from under the feet of the statue of Ole Bull. The statue of the great violinst is shown It great violinist is shown playing a violin, it is in bronze, & beneath him is a syren singing. The violinist catches the songs she sings and gives them to the world on his violin A few steps from the hotel is a lovely ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p083.jpg) city park, not large but very beautiful. In the center is a band stand with flowers growing all about the sides. At this moments a blue tiny blue flower and the single white dalia are giving its to it a very lovely decoration In this park is the bronze statue of Greig. Fortunate Bergen that could give to the world both Ole Bull and Greig. In another part of the city one sees the Bronze statue of Holberg one of ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p084.jpg) the first great writers of drama in Norway. Many of the buildings have the very sharp roofs It On the 6th we went about Bergen with our guide. He first took us to the industrial museum of Bergen and through the art gallery. We saw in the museum the violin of Ole Bull. We went from the museum to the fish market. Nothing is more evident at every turn than that fish seacraft, and the building and operating of ships ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p085.jpg) forms much of Norwegian life. The odor from the air coming through the window of this very fashionable hotel was laden with fish. The fish market has a great variety, mackerel shrimps, a white fish salmon etc etc. From the museum we went to the Hanseatic museum This was the most interesting but not the most beautiful thing we saw in Norway. The The Hanseatic League was a League of Cities ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p086.jpg) on the coast that carried on trade by bartering or exchanging goods. We saw the selves where the merchants kept their goods, their little offices, and particularly their beds. There beds were boxes built against the wall, and they got in through a door then they could be shut up, all night, almost air tight. It is the greatest of wonders that they did not all smother. A hole in the back of the bed box, allowed a woman to put her arms in and ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p087.jpg) make it, no woman was allowed in the actual room. The little brass square brass boxes, several on a supporting rod, where they placed the tallow dip for light was interesting. We ha They would not allow a fire in the house as the goods were all piled up. There was a list of goods they had to exchange on the wall. They keep people who smoked from the wharf. The Hanseatic League was handy for the Sea right on the wharf - I can't imagine. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p088.jpg) how they kept from freezes in the winter We saw a table with some blocks they placed back or block gammon, I think it was back. We saw a long table in the servants apartments where they played back gammon. Then we went to a little church the main church built by these merchants. It had is made of stone and has the old lighting fixtures and furniture. It is practically the oldest church in Bergen. Then on to the hill to see ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p089.jpg) the Hall of Hoalson. This was a Castle belongi belonging to one of the former Norwegian kings. The banquet Hall is large and very attractive and has been restored. It is a splendid place for social functions. It is a [--]ace about which traditions of the past life of Norwegian royalty clings. In the afternoon we went out to visit an old stone church. There are only about three of these old stone churches in Norway now. One in the folks museum in Oslo Oslo which we ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p090.jpg) saw and this one in Bergen. The one in Bergen was along the cost near Balholm for many years. It was built in the 9th Century It is very highly decorated and looks very much like a church or rather In[--]n p Pagoda It is high[-] [--]rnamented now about [---] <1000> years old. Then we went up on the side of the hill where we saw the great restaur restaurant where they have fine music overlooking Bergen. Bergen is ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p091.jpg) fortunate in its location for it has the mountains about it and the water beneath. The guide told us they were going to fill up some of those bogs because they stink so. We visited the Brother Olsen and wife who presides over the missionary work in Bergen. Brother and Sister Olsen came with a convert from Oslo, a gentleman to the Steamer to see us off. Our guide in Bergen is the one Ida and Mararet Dusenbury had while they were here, he had lived in ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p092.jpg) America. So many of our guides are people who have been to America and learned the language there. Aug 7th, 1925 We visited the museum in Bergen. fish in large quantities exhibited here as one would naturally expect. Also they are very found of exhibiting costumes of people who live in the far North, they seem to think that part of their duty. Costumes of the Esqumo of the Alaskan and American Indian. They had everything from the tinest fish to the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p093.jpg) Wale Mer Bergan is a coast town city. In it is a school where men train to be for sea life all sort of sea craft and where captains etc are trained and graduated. I shall never forget the park where the band plays at noon nor each day nor the statues of Grieg and Ole Bull. Aug 8th Sailed from Bergen for England. The young Englishman, whose father was born in Salt Lake City, who was wearing the Norwegian girls ring, had just come from Norway ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p094.jpg) where his engagement was announced. He told us all about it, interesting to Vilate and I as revealing Norwegian costumes customes, I said the boy did not have his mother to tell it all to so he told it to Vilate and I. An Englishman nearby who sat nearby and who was of the conservative English type remarked on returning. Where is the lover, "I was interested in the broadcasting". Concise and clever. We met two girls, one from Oregon the other Iowa who had visited the Nurses Convention ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p095.jpg) at Finland, Elsingbourg, a woman, from the North of Ireland interesting because she was so put out with the cultured Englishman, we met at the Hotel at Bergen, who visits Norway to fish, He said Giants Causway was not worth seeing, the North of Ireland woman was indignant She said it was one of the seven wonders of the world. Aug. 9, 1925. We landed at Newcastle England. It was Sunday. We walked about town, and saw the Cathedral a bit of Roman wall and the old Castle ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p096.jpg) It was near evening when we reached NewCastle, so that after a stroll about town we went into a restaurant had supper, then went home and went to bed. There was a homelike feeling in the autmosphere, it has been nearly ten months since we had been in a country where our mother tongue is spoken. Mon Aug 10, 1925 We rode from NewCastle to Liverpool. On our way we passed through Harrogate a residence town, then we came to England's big manufacturing towns, ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p097.jpg) Leeds, Bradford and Manchester. I am surely glad I do not have to live in these places, but they are noted for steel and iron and Manchester for cotton. We arrived in Liverpool in the middle of the afternoon, President and Mrs Talmage greeted us and made us welcome. We became acquained with the office force, Elders Cook, Schade, Cook, and Romney. Romney is helping on the Star. Aug 11, 1925 Spent the day fixing up matters for our return journey home and in arranging for the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p098.jpg) Welch Irish trip. I sent a telegram to Jess telling her I would be down next day. Brother Aug 12, 1925 Brother Junius Romney drove me to the station, Lime Street Station Liverpool, I left Liverpool for London 9:45. I spent the time on the way going down writing an Editorial for the October issue of the Relief Society Magazine. When I reached the station Jess was not there, she had wired me the day before that she would be there if possible. I took a horse coach and arrived at the Samson ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p099.jpg) Clark and Company. Jess, was at No 7. I went over and found the poor girl in bed. She was having one of her teriffically bad spells, but she said in a cheery way. I have done better this time I have gone eight weeks. I thought I was doing exceedingly well to go six weeks but now I have gone eght. I shall be better tomorrow. I told her that I could be with them 24 hours and what I wanted to do was visit. Pretty soon Lil came along looking fine. She talked about her business, ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p100.jpg) Welch Irish trip. I sent a telegram to Jess, in London, telling her I would be down next day. and said she was still doing work for Mrs Summerset Maughn, the wife of the playright to the tune of about 30 pounds per week. She talked about Jess and Clark most of all, and said that Colornel East King was the man who had gone to Nigeria with him, where he had died. Lil h and Miss Moon had rather run the Per[---]sy home for ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p101.jpg) Jess and the girls. Aug 13, 1925 Jess was better. We talked about Ted's health she said she wat wanted him to come over for an ocean voyage thought it would fix him up. She talked about Clark, his will. Told me some of her intimate life. Shed tears when I told her that I knew something of what Clark had been to her, that while he came to her with his troubles and for sympathy sh because she understood things, the whole way round she could always go to him. I told her it was much to be connected ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p102.jpg) with a business where the head and the first director had always planned to help the people who helped them and Cark had certainly done a noble thing to remember the people who had remembered him in the fashion he had done. Aug 14, 1925 We left Liverpool in the afternoon for Wales. reaching Kings Hotel Llandudno in the evening. After dinner we walked along the pier. It is a wonderful pier, a resort of splendid hotels and splendid bathing. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p103.jpg) There is band that plays every evening it would seem except Sunday could not help noticing the difference in the music here from that in Germany and Denmark and Norway. In Germany and Denmark we heard Wagner music and other of the German masters in Wales we head the English favorites. Sweet Bell Mahone and the Gibert Sullivan music Pinafore. Aug 15, 1925 The excursions start from Llandudno for the beautiful parts about. Through this section are very fine residences. Some of the rich men connected ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p104.jpg) wealthy people in connected with the mills in Manchester have their residences there. Our drive on Saturday was to Mt Snowdon. The country was beautiful over which we passed, but the most interesting things to be seen were Conway Castle with its beautiful suspension Bridge and ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p105.jpg) Carnavar Castle whi to which the Prince of Wales comes for his inauguration as prince of Wales. It is a big fine castle carrying out the best traditions of a splendid castle. The four castles in Great Britain, Winsor, Warickwick, Conway, and Carvavavan are among the best perhaps the best castles from the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p106.jpg) the outside that we have seen in Europe. Carnovovan Castle is on the Sea, all about it looks like a grim strong- hold. Near the Castle is a statue of David Loyd-George. The country over which we passed was beautiful at this season, purple heather at its best and the yellow gorse everywhere ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p107.jpg) to be seen. We passed through Betys Coed - one of the finest little residence spots in Wales. Finally we W came in our automobile to the funicular that takes one to Mt Snowdon We climed through interesting country noted many hikers along to way and finally reached M the summit of Mt Snowdon. It is ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p108.jpg) about 4000 feet high and to the highest mountain in Wales, I believe. Had a most delightful ride back, through attractive country. The new residences resemble in architecture our best residences at home, those that are the property of the rich mill owners. When we reached the Hotel Jess had telephoned. She had received my wire ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p109.jpg) from Liverpool and she and Elsie started out. They came through Oxford over. She could not get accomodations at our Hotel, or any other in Llandudno. In th Aug 16, 1925 Jess came over reaching Llandudno about 11 a. m. She found room in the Hotel for herself Elsie and the chauffer. Fortunately she had a room next to ours, I think ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p110.jpg) ours was 24 and hers 25. Our room overlooked the ocean front, where there were a lot of bathing houses owned by a man by the name of Jones. evidently a most familiar name in Wales. We had luncheon in the hotel then we went for another drive. Vilate had taken one of the trips. We Jess, Elsie Phillips and I started ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p111.jpg) out, we drove over Mores covered with purple heather and gorse that made me think of the beautiful Mores of Devonshire. Finally we came to one of those exquisite tea rooms on the road and we got out and had English bread and butter jam and plum cake. Aug 17. Next morning drove us from Llandudno to Landudno Junction, where we took one train. we passed ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p112.jpg) over Conway bridge and passed the castle once more on our way to the Junction Then I said goodbye to that blessed lovely girl, so capable, so wonderful, I wonder shall I ever see her again. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p113.jpg) Ireland Monday August 17 We left Llandudno, Wales, crossed the Irish Channel between Holeyhead to Kingston. From Kingston we went to Doib Doublin, putting up all night at the Ivanhoe, Hotel. The next morning we started for Killarney. The country along the way between Doublin and Killarney is all green. Green grass everywhere, small farms with the Hawthorne Hedges about them, and trees in every here direction, and there. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p114.jpg) They make small mounds hay, and are not compelled to put it along rope or a wooden stick to or were to dry as the farmers must do in Norway. Arriving at Kalarney we put up at a Hotel called the Alexandra, a measley Hotel. Cooks tried to give us the Great Southern but it was full. We had been in Kalar Killarney only a few hours when moments when our hotel man applead to us to take a drive. There was a very fine young couple from ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p115.jpg) Australia who went to the same Hotel. They said the 4 of us might have the drive for five shillings each, we agreed and very soon we were in a typical Irish Jaunting cart. The Australian and his wife sat on one side and Vilate and I on the other the driver in the middle. When we started out the hotel keeper a typical Irishman said, Ready, start, this gentleman pointing to the Australian will show you the way. We nearly died laughing. Then ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p116.jpg) we started. I asked if he was Irish. He said yes, as Irish as a County Kerry pig. The scenery about Lake Killarney is most beautiful. There is an upper a lower and a middle Lake The trees about it are what most attracts On our drive before coming to the Lake We saw Mucross Abbey. Mucross Abbey was built in the 13 Century. A group of Franciscan ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p117.jpg) Friars lived there who were turned out by Cromwell. All about the waters edge one sees most beautiful trees, The oak, beech lime which the man said we called linden in America The moss is thick everywhere. The trunks of the trees have a thick coat of moss and then out of there this moss ferns grow and the ivy sometimes twines with it. The ivy twines all about the trunks of trees. He The driver quoted someone as saying that it ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p118.jpg) would be possible to make another Versailles but not another Killarney. We went to a house where post cards are sold it is called the marks the meeting of the waters. A bridge is to be seen with a gothic [---], which they say is the oldest bridge in Ireland, built by the Danes when they occupied Ireland. The driver told us a story about the lake high up that feeds lake Killarney, which he said is the Devils Punch Bowl. He said there is no bottom [Written in right margin "this page is correct it is a blot"] ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p119.jpg) to it and that an American plunged into it, and he kept going finally arriving in Australia, when he got there he said he had come by parcel post. That was for the benefit of Vilate and I and the Australian couple. We saw at Aug 18. beautiful We took estate, owned by a Mr. Vincent, an American American, who married an Irish girl and receved the estate as a present from his father-in-law. On the other side Vincent has 42 thousand acres and the Earl of Kenmare has a large estate. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p120.jpg) One owns the property on one side of the lakes the other the property on the other side We saw the black Kerry cow. It looked sleek. The Kerry milk the man told us is richer than Jersey milk. Aug 18, 1925 Correct story of Vincent Estate. An American bought it, and the son of this American fell in love with an Irish girl, and the father gave him the estate for a wedding present. The American was travelling and met the Irish girl on a tour ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p121.jpg) Aug 18th We took the trip from Killarney to Killarney Lakes. We first went in a coach with horses drawing it until we reached Kate Karney's cottage. Kate Karney was a great beauty whom the poet Moore adored. At this place most people took ponies. We walked, and two teachers from In Gary Indiana. There was a principal of a school in New York with his father and his brother who is a Roman Catholic Priest. The father was 85 yrs old but he was determined that he wore two p[--]es ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p122.jpg) Aug 19, 1925 We left Killarney by coach arriving at Glengarriff in time for luncheon. On our way we passed Kenmare. An English gentlemen delighted me very much who sat along side of me. He said that England had been pouring millions of ton pounds into Ireland every year for which they were getting nothing, and that the govenrment gave them a million pounds or so was nothing. He though after a while England would be able to enter into a friendly alliance with Ireland and get her to agree that in the event of war she would be on the side of England. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p123.jpg) But he said he thought it a good thing for England she was rid of Ireland. Aug 20, 1921 Glengarriff very beautiful; it is a quiet beauty, pastoral in nature. Justifys the name of the Emerald Isle. Aug 21, 1923 The women in the Drawing room are interesting. They say they think most of the Irish would be glad to go back under the old regime They are taxed 5 shillings on a pound. There is a tarriff that makes them pay one guinea more for a suit of clothes than they pay in Belfast. They themselves say the Irish are emotional easly led, crazy enough to fight each other. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p124.jpg) he would walk. The son in speaking of it said, when we tried to get father on to the pony he kicked up like a young mustang. We walked six or seven miles reached the boats Country rugged, many huge grey rocks. One of the most interesting things along the boo way was an Irish bog field. These bog fields look just like the earth, they cut it through then into c[--]ement blocks, and dry it and burn it, when you look at it it looks like a piece of manure, when you take it in your hands and pull it apart it is just like ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p125.jpg) wood. We crossed the lakes, saw the meeting of the waters, the Eagles nest, and the Island where the play called The Lily of Killarney or Coleen Baun was situated. There were six boatmen, the main one told us good Irish stories. One of the boatman's stories. He said a drunken Irishman got in hell at one time and kicked up such a row that his satanic majesty objected because he said he was disturbing the peace and harmony of the realm, so they turned him out. Since then a sign has been at the door of Hell, No Irishmen allowed. Why? Because an Irishman is to green to burn don't you wish you were and Irish man. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p126.jpg) The trip across the Lake brought us to Ross Castle, the last Castle in Ireland to surrender to Cromwell. Here it was that Tennyson wrote Top Blow Bugle. We tipped a man on the way for blowing a bugle. Moss, thick moss, everywhere, so thick that ferns grow out of them on the tree trunks, hedges of fuchias, great large graceful trees will always mark Ireland for me. The vegetation more than the water for the Cky has not been clear enough to make it blue a dull grey for the most part. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p127.jpg) Aug. 22, 1925 Four pyramidacal peaks, a little lake at their base, a great mass of trees on each side, wonderful trees. The Lime birch beech and oak so wonderful. There are a good many tropical trees. The monkey tree. There are some lovely pine trees and the tops of a few tropical trees are visible but nothing so beautiful as the native trees. G[---]s everywhere. All about here are hedges of megenta fuchias in bloom. Directly in ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p128.jpg) Some Irish Stories told us by an Irish Women in Roches Hotel. They had a very witty Irish father. Some people told him at one time that his coat was short, he responded that it would be long enough before he got another. He was at a dinner where they were discussing the Jonah and the whale propisition. He said I have seen things as queer as that I saw the Dr come out of a fly this morning. The fly was a trap and the Dr was very large. When he was dying he was a bit stubborn about taking his medicine. The Dr said, now father you must submit your will to us. No said he I am afraid you might change it. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p129.jpg) front of the Roche's Hotel where we have had no 12 a lovely room overlooking the lake there is a brilliant bush, one half is the megenta fuchia the other half is the prettiest blushing purple hydrangias. When we were at Killarney the driver had a difficult time finding shamrock for us, at Glengarriff the shamrock was everywhere in evidence green and lovely. Aug 22, 1925 We motored from Glengariff to Bantry at Bantry we took the train for Cork arriving in time for d to ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p130.jpg) do a little shopping and then get ready for dinner. We are at the Hotel Metropole in Cork. Cork looks like a very nice city, inclined to be modern, but there appear to be an unusual number of people here in ragged clothes, little boys in rags. This city suffered a great deal during the trouble, many a goodly number of buildings damaged and destroyed. This morning Vilate Aug 23, 1925. At about 10:30 Vilate and I went to ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p131.jpg) Blarney to see Blarney Castle. Blarney Castle is a ruin in a sense. The famous Blarney Stone is at the top of the castle. One lies down on his back and puts her head down holding all the time by two iron bars. Two men hold you until you get your head down low enough to kiss the stone. Not a very hygenic process but one in which there is a lot of fun. The present castle is the third occupying the site. The first castle consists of the massive donjon tower 120 feet ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p132.jpg) feet in height. The first was a hunting post of Dermot McCarthy, King of South Munster, the second was built in 1200, and the third of which we have the ruins was built in the 15 Century. The grounds around the castle are what are particularly lovely Trees so varied and large and symetrical. The castle itself is built as so many castles in Europe are built upon a stone ledge. Among the trees are the lime, the elms the oak the seboth fir ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p133.jpg) the ash the beech the supper beech. In the afternoon we took a ride out by the River Lee. The River Lee is the one that goes through Cork. It is a tide river The residences had pretty gardens. They houses looked pretty on the river bank, but the marvelous trees was again what made it especially lovely. We saw a castle called Blackrock. It is a modern looking thing, nearly all round tower and is inhabited. The Irish had a way of living in round ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p134.jpg) towers. These Irish Aug 24, 1925 [Green stamp with Celtic symbols and country of Ireland and the words: "éire", "dá pingin", "2"] There is some beer being advertised: it is "Paddy Flaherty" beer one sees it all over Ireland. Rode on the train from Cork to Doublin with a very sweet lady who confided to us that she was a unionist before the trouble. A Ca Roman Catholic Priest got in the same apartment, When When we came to the a place called Kelldare he told us that Oak Church that they used to build churches of Oak wood. He told us Cork meant ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p135.jpg) marsh[-]. He is enthusiastic over the Irish Free State and over teaching Galic or Irish to the Irish children. He said he wanted Ireland to be bilingual, that in Wales it was a reproach for people not to know both Welch and English. He said they would teach the Irish of 100 years ago, and that there are people in some of the more remote districts of Ireland that today only speak Irish. T.B. Yates is a senator. We reached Doublin about 6 p.m. then went to the Abbey Theater Theatre, An A Doublin company was playing Juno and ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p136.jpg) the Paycock, a play tragedy that satarized the Irish troubles from 1916 on. The irony was keen, but my the poor Irish, so was the tragedy. Somone said going out, the comedy and tragedy are well mixed, is it not? The lady Sarah is said to be the finest actress in Ireland, at present. It depicted the murders very graphically. One of two sayings. "No you can't use your arms because of the pains in your legs." He was an awful looking creature still they called him a Paycock. She would ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p137.jpg) say, that is his wife, here you go struttin about like a paycock and I have to work to keep you. Aug 25, 1925 We took Cooks trip about Doublin. We first visited Trinity College Doublin. The institution is not more than a hundred years old yet the have four hundred thousand books in the library. Every author in the United Kingdom is supposed to send a book to the library. and ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p138.jpg) it seems to be more than a supposition. The most famous book in the library is the book of Kells It is the Bible in the Gallic or Celtic language, most beautifully illuminated The coloring very fine art of coloring lost the man said. This book of Kells was written and illuminated in the 8th Century. There were two other books one of the 6th century and one of the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p139.jpg) 7th century. fine for the times but the book of Kells is the finished product. There is also an ancient harp there one that belonged to one of the very old Irish harpists. The harp is the historical musical instrument of Ireland. As we rode along we went by the wonderful statue to Daniel O Connel. We next visited St Patricks Cathedral, the oldest cathedral in Doublin. It was ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p140.jpg) built in 458. It is very That is it was begun in 458, built in three different periods finally finished about the 11 Century. Here Dean Swift was Dean for a number of years and here Ester Johnson his Stella is buried. Then we went to the church with There graves are in a conspicuous place in the cathedral. The cathedral is most attractive when ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p141.jpg) one thinks how early it was built. We then visited church the church with the crypt. This church too is old. The crypt is the most famous crypt in Doublin. Not long ago a young man got locked down there, a young officer every- body thought he was out, but later they found his body which had been eaten by rats. It was all the sort of accident ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p142.jpg) that no body would expect but it did happen. In the main- body of the church is the statue of a child tho who was taken from an orphanige and nursed through an illness by the man who took her. He caught the disease from her and died. The statue shows the tears in her eyes. Miss Gean the author Webster ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p143.jpg) the author of Daddy Longlegs, saw that statue and that inspired her book Daddy Longlegs. We drove through the park, a very beautiful park, as we came to one spot the driver said. There is where Lord Cavandish was shot. We saw the Band at the head of the guard they were going to what would be their palace, where ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p144.jpg) their governor general lives. His name is Tim Healy and they call him that frequently. Tim Healy has the same place in the Irish Free State as the King. Cosgrave is president. We saw on our drive the building of the four courts destroyed in the last trouble. He pointed out to us as we drove along the buildings where the rebellion broke out. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p145.jpg) We visited the building where the barristers and hold forth. Ireland divides her lawyers into two classes. There are the barristers and the solicitors. The barristers live in one part hold forth in one part of the building. in other parts the king used to live when he was a resident in Ireland. It was We went into the Court of the Government building ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p146.jpg) where the British government officials were quartered. It was here that Michael Collins put on the Kaki coat of one of the men who hawled coal, blacked his face marched in got the documents he wanted and then left a note on the wall saying, "I have obtained the documents I wanted, why dont ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p147.jpg) you keep your eyes open." We undestood that the post office was badly damaged but we did not see it. We went then to the famous cemetery of Doublin. As soon as we entered we saw the big column to Daniel O Connell. Later we visited his vault an which to is a rather fine monument. The casket is visible. The ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p148.jpg) Irish say if you wish and then touch the coffin of Daniel O. Connel you will get your wish, so we touched it. We then visited the grave of Parnell. The name Parnell is across it in flowers. Our guide said this man got us home rule. we had for thee days and in thee days we were in ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p149.jpg) such an uproar and muddle the English had to take it away from us. Then we went to the graves of the Republicans of Course the grave of Michael Collins was the most interesting of them all. He was first a Republican of a very severe type radical but finally after going to England and talking matters over from a good many ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p150.jpg) angles, he became convinced that the Irish Free State, he became a Free Stater. Then it was row row row with the Republicans. He was never caught, the English watched him, but could not catch him and he seemed most successful in evading his enemies. He certainly caught the public imagination. He was to be married, he put it off once, and on the very ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p151.jpg) day set for the marriage he had a and his follows had a fight with a group of Republicans and he was short. We It was in August 1922. They told us that his funeral beegan in the morng and lasted to the afternoon, that it simply consumed hours to for the passing of the procession. There were patch a graves of people killed by the Republicans. When we visited the crypt church. The ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p152.jpg) pastor, said it would break your heart to hear the story of these poor people. He said a woman was in last week, it would bring tears from a stone to hear her story. She said her hu husband was murdered and her house set on fire. The driver and the guide were interesting. The guide said he felt sure the people would want to go ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p153.jpg) back to Great Britain, that they were infinitely better off when they were with Great Britian. They both admitted that things were not yet either settled or safe, that it was a seeming settlement rather than a real settlement. The driver said they got their guns and amunition from Germany for the rebellion. He said they might [-]ook up with the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p154.jpg) Germans that the Germans were not a bad people. One Irishman said they had three Era's in Ireland, the Pagan Era, the Christian Era, and the De V Devil Era, a pun on the word Develeria Deverelria was elected president of the Irish Free State twice but refused to be president because he wanted a republic. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p155.jpg) Some of the people still refer to Develeria as our president. Aug. 25, 1925 We went from Doublin to Belfast, arriving in the evening went to mission headquarters, there we met Elders Burt, of Canada, Baker formerly from Doublin, of German extraction, at present living in the Los Angles Stake, California On our way to Belfast we were in an a compartment with a lady who told us that she was a ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p156.jpg) unionist before the trouble. She said you are Americans so that I am not frightened to talk with you. She said the English had a hard time during the war, that the Irish were in rebellion but that they could not take any radical steps to put down the rebellion because or they would do injury to the many loyal Irish people ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p157.jpg) whose sons were volunteering and going to the war. She told us that the regular soldiers withdrew and then the British sent in some Black and Tans who were terrible and did do some fearful things At the settlement both sides acknowledged they had done terrible things, and the British government appropriated a substantial seem to ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p158.jpg) rebuild the building destroyed in the trouble although not enough. There was an Irish churchman on in our compartment who represented the type, who wants the children to learn Gallic in the schools. He says that he wants Ireland to be Bylingual. Said an Irish child took to Galic just as a duck takes to water. We were ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p159.jpg) near a place called Killdere and he told us Killdere meat Oak Church, that in early days they built churches of wood after the fashion of the Norwegian. He told us that the word Cork meant Marc Marsh, he said it was a pity to change the names of towns. They have changed the name of Queenstown, which was given that name after Victoria's visit in to Queenstown, they spell the new name Corb ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p160.jpg) and pronounce it Cove. He was a most delightful individual full of charm and information. He said that the Church Droses retained the same names as they had in the time of the various Irish Kings in times past. Aug 26, 1925 We visited the Causway. We left our Hotel called the Station Hotel, which used to be the Northern County Hotel and ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p161.jpg) went by rail for a distance when we took an automobile. We rode through a rain storm most of the day, finally arriving at a place where we had dinner. it dinner we had three gr four girls, two from Liverpool and two from Australia. The girl from Australia was with her parents she had been on a world cruise. She spent a month in Egypt in February. She had been to Norway. She supported my contention that ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p162.jpg) one should see Norway before seeing Switzerland because it was an Anti-clamatic. climax. After dinner the sun shone, the drive from the little place where we ate dinner to the Causeway along the sea was simply glorious, the sea stretched out and was blue, it made me think of the day we went to Amalphi. We visited the Causeway, and It ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p163.jpg) is said to be one of the seven Wonders of the World. The colums piled up makes one wonder. It certainly is a very extrordinary freak of nature. The guide as I went through the gate said they had had as many as 11 hundred people pass through that gate in one day this year, most of them were English, that it was the best season they had had since the war. Then we took an electric car to the place where the little woman gave ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p164.jpg) us the bread and butter and tomatoes. The one who said that she did not know we were Americans because whe we had no broug brogue and most Americans had a very pronounced brogue. Aug 27, 1925 We visited Belfast in connection with the Elders. The Elders took us took us to a park to a park very beautiful, we saw in the distance the place where they have their ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p165.jpg) Turbuclous Sant Sanitarium Tuberculosis Sanitarium. We look out on the port where people take S.S. from Belfast to Liverpool. Befast has not the interest Doublin has. It is the largest city in Ireland, and the Capital Capitol of the Northern Counties or the sx Ulster counties that clung to the crown. The King went up and opened their Parliament. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p166.jpg) It is the seat of Belfast Linen. All the best Irish linen is made in Belfast. While there are only 6 counties in the North compared with the 26 counties in the south the N. has about ⅓ of the population. There is not the statues, one finds in the south; for instances as one passes through the streets of Doublin it is first a perfectly marvelous statue to Daniel O' Connel then ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p167.jpg) another to Parnel etc. etc. Tha In the afternoon, in connection with Mrs Ford a missionary from Magna we visited the large firm of Cleover and Robinson. They showed me a handkerchief a beauty that sells for 24 $42.00. They said usually Americans buy them for souvnirs. They showe showed me the handkerchief used by Queen Victoria under the ordinarly. It was a linen handerkerchiefs with three little tiny tucks ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p168.jpg) around it and a little valencine lace. narrow Valencine lace around the edge. Clever and Robinson have branch houses in Liverpool and some other places, they manufacture the linen for royalty. Sister Ford told me that in a litt former city in Ireland where she and her husband were, that many of the people were very very poor, walking about bear foot with shawls over their heads. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p169.jpg) She went to take a tract to one place, and the woman said they thought it would be very much more becoming for her to bring them food than a book to read. She sent home and the Relief Society of the Magna Ward sent her $ 1000 100.00 dollars. She distributed among them, told them that the Relief Society of the Mormon Church had sent it and that they should be willing to say a good word for them after that. That afternoon the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p170.jpg) Elder[-] Mrs Ford and an Irish sister went to the station with us We went back to Doublin then to Kingstown then across the Irish Channel to Holyhead, then took a train to Liverpool. We were up all night and after s landing Liverpool about 3:30 a.m. after staying in the station until about 6:30 we went up to 295 Edge Lane. We were fixing our home up a bit when whom should we see but James ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p171.jpg) Aug 28, 1925 L Barker. We went up to see Kate, Helen June Woodruff and Virginia Daynes were there. We finished up our business, went back to Cleaver and Robinson for a while, took the SS. Mount Royal at 3:30 look out on the big Liverpool wear houses near the harbor s[--]ning fading before our eyes and said goodbye to the dear old world. Aug 29, 1925 Storm on the ocean the ship rocked and ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p172.jpg) nearly stood on ends at times. I was sick as could be in bed all day I am a good sailer when the sea is calm. Vilate is really a good sailor. I think one can have more misery without pain with seasickness than any thing else I know. Aug 29, 1925 Up on deck the air felt good but still seasick, still I did get into luncheon. All right or or nearly so if I sat right quiet in my deck chair. Sill I have resolved never to buy another ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p173.jpg) deck chair. It has been a waste both going and coming really don't use them enough. Aug 30, 1925 The sea kicked up the very d[-]ce during the night again, sick! My stomach feels like a scrambled egg. It is reported that there are about 480 cabin passengers on board and of that number 25 450 have been sick. Aug 31, 1925 Up again, but some how if a boat makes you sick for three days you don't quite forgive ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p174.jpg) the ocean. Sunday night we had a moving picture. We were all just sea- sick enough to hope they would not give us any seasick sea pictures as they did going over. They did not they gave us pictures of Canada, her ranches, cows being milked by electric machines etc. Then we saw some of her winter sports August September 1 A pleasant day. In The sun is really shining In the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p175.jpg) afternoon we saw a splendid Iceberg. It was beautiful. Blue and white in color. It was near enough to our ship to look splendid. When we came over in 1911 we encounted a number of icebergs in just about the same rgion. In the evening a lecturer from Cambridge University made an address. He was very fine. Told how one of the students got killed a young woman was killed in Oxford and a student was held responsible for ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p176.jpg) without the due course of law, so the students got angry and moved to Cambridge. He said most of the great scholars of the Renaissance period came from Cambridge. He said that Cambridge got ahead of Oxford, in the period of the Renaissance because Oxford refused to teach Greek and Cam- bridge had Erasmus come to Cambridge to teach Greek. He translated part of the first Engl some of the scriptures. He said in the United States in ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p177.jpg) the colleges they have groups or Fraternities within the college. In Cambrige they have a group of different colleges. He argued for there style of doing things, because he said in one of their dormotories they would have a student who is a Methodist studying medicine, another a Jap studying Engineering, all sorts of ideas and all sorts of p allegiances thrown together and in student fashion they jostle against each other and learn why he each other is fool ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p178.jpg) to believe the particular thing he does believe. In America he said the Fra fraternities rush and get the best, the rest are left out, so that Democratic America's Universities consist of the Best and the Rest. It was a clever address. After the lecture they had a character ball. There are really clever on the boat. September 2, 1925 In Fine day once more. Afternoon a tea time we sat with a gentleman and his wife by the name ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p179.jpg) of Watchorne. He was Emigration office at Ellis Island under Theodore Roosevelt, a public lecturer, who spends his winters in California and his summers usually in in Europe. His people seemingly live in Derbyshire. He told some amusing stories He said any Irish youngster was brought up before a judge, who objecting to his unkempt appearance, said to the lad, When did you take a bath last. You wouldn't accuse me of taking anything would ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p180.jpg) you. Then he told the story of the meeting of the Scotch Irish Society, Carnegie Hall Scotch - Pat Murphey - You might know the other half is soda. As we sat talking we passed the Raleigh one of the British war ships that went on the rocks a few years ago. She has been stripped of her guns. We saw her very distinctly. we were so close to her. That evening we had the usual concert for the benefit of ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p181.jpg) seamen. The Earl of Mar and Kelly took charge. He was going over to Canada to see his son mary. The best man was along- with him. Sept 3, 1925 Vilate and I had obtained our declaration slips and made them out on the evening of the 2nd. Every body was interested in passing the customs. The U.S. Custom Officials got on at Father Point. We had a dear man to Examine our baggage. he really well if he were a girl I know ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p182.jpg) we should call him a peach. He was in sharp contrast to the fellow I had in 1911. By midnight we were all through and tired. Sept 4th 1925 We got up for breakfast at 7 a. m. Soon after breakfast we landed. James got his car out. We passed the Canadian customs. Then we got in the car and started to see Quebec. It was so good to be on the sod once more. We first went on to the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p183.jpg) hill where the Statue of Champlain is, a very lovely statue. We saw so many splendid statures in Quebec, of Catholic Fathers and others who had to do with the founding of Quebec that it remided one of a European city in that respect. We went into the lobbies of the great Hotel on the Hill. Hotel Fontan Frontenac it is a beauty. Quebec is the oldest city in the Dominion of Canada. It has been called the Gibaralta of America ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p184.jpg) Of particular interest was the ride below where we saw the heights of Quebec. How Wolf's men ever scrambled up them is a mystery. We rode over the plains of Abraham, saw the monuments of Wolf and Montcalm. Saw old house where Montcalm was brought to after the battle. James Barker said the only way one could believe that any one could take Quebec. We saw an old square which was the ch ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p185.jpg) city square in the early days. There was a funny little Hotel and a modern place by it by the same name. We saw the Church, the oldest in Quebec on little Champlain street know as the Church of Notre-Dame- des Victories now over 300 years old it seems to me about 1680 was the date on the stone above the door. Then Vilate and I took a street car to see the Falls of Morency. The falls looked sickley this time of the year, but near them is the house that was occupied by the Duke of Kent. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p186.jpg) Queen Victoria's Father, when he lived in Canada. We got back to town at 6:30 found a little restaurant near the station where we had supper then went over to the station. We got into our sleeping car at 10 o'clock. We were dead tired. on our way to Montreal Sept 5, 1925 Went shopping in the morning, found a dress for Vilate. Found a perfectly wonderful cafeteria. The prices were not especially low, but we did find ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p187.jpg) there all sorts of American dishes, some of which we had had no chance at since we left home. The fruit cocktail and cream, and the green corn and particularly fine tomatoes tasted good to me. In the afternoon we took a sight seeing trip about Montreal. Montreal means Mt. Royal. A cross stands on Mt Royal it is lighted up. Bo Quebec is particularly wonderfully located on the St. Lawrence River, but both ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p188.jpg) Quebec and Montreal gain much from being located on the river. We visited the old French part and the English part of the city Montreal is the largest city in Canada, the guide said the fifth city in America. It is the financial heart of Canada and has one of the wealthiest banks in the world there. It is one of the main harbors of the Canadian Pacific Line, which tells much for the wealth of Canada By the by the slogan ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p189.jpg) of the Canadia Pacific Rail Road for its World Cruses is, "See This World Before You See the Other." On our We visited a big fur store, all sorts of lovely fur coats, fur neck pieces. The red fox and silver fox give gives us a very beautiful fur. We passed by Mc. Gill and Montreal Universit Universities. Mc Gill is noted for a very fine surgeon a monument to him. The Mc Gill is a Protestant University - the boys in front were playing Cricket. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p190.jpg) Montreal is a Roman Catholic University. Then we rode down an avenue of practically miles, where trees had been planted to the men of Montreal who fell in the Great War. There was a little support for the trees and on the wood was written the name of the soldier who died. We rode until we came to locks on the Great Lakes that the boats go through. There were some Rapids just there on the St Lawrence River. Only two ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p191.jpg) white men have ever been able to shoot these rapids. They always have Indian Pilots the Indian pilots take the boast down. Over the River we saw the village of Iriquois Indians Sept 6, 1925 Left our little hotel at which was named St Bernard, and took a train at 9:30 from Montreal for Chicago arriving in Chicago rather early next morning. During the U. S. Customs officers come in. That is They made such a row that we were ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p192.jpg) all waked up all night. That is the second time I have thrown money away for sleeper, kept awake all night by those U.S. Custom Men. He fussed about two French men. Sept 7th, 1925 We got over to the Chicago and Northwestern station alright. Left Chicago for Salt Lake at 10:30 a.m. This is the last lap of the road. One of the stories the Montreal guide told the other day. He said this is the hotel where people come to for a change ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p193.jpg) and a rest," The hotel bell boys get the change and the hotel the rest." O Sept 7 <8> 1925 Just passed Laramie , the sky looks blue, and the country barren, lovely Western sky a few more hours and I shall be in Salt Lake. Sept 9.th, 1925 We are on our way to Salt Lake, riding at this moment between Salt Ogden and Salt Lake. The tang of the mountain air is lovely. In a few moments home. Blessings on ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p194.jpg) the U.S.A. It surely is choice above other lands, and I am grateful that I was born in it and grateful that I live in it, but the world is a lovely and beautiful world. Thus ends the chapter. Port Rush ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p195.jpg) Friday Nov. 21. 20 We visited the goblin museum and factory. It has belonged to the government of France for 300 years. It derives its name from Philibert Gobelin of the 15 Century one of the first workers in tapestry Silk and wool are used entirely in the faebric and it makes nothing for sale, only for the state. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B1_F5_p196.jpg) There are 12 tents and shades of every color. in fact there are 14,400 colors or shades used at the present time.

After a period of waiting the Emperor announced that since the lion apparently refused to take part there was nothing to do but call off the feature.

That evening I went to Covent Garden and heard M me Flagstad in Tristan and Isalde. Heard Sir Thomas Beecham recieve a great oration ovation He, and he made a speech, panned the British press for some things they said about the opera. Saw some of the swankie English people after the opera had lovely irmine capes ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p028.jpg) But f Flagstad she was it, her voice was glorious. The first scene with the boat and ocean was intre interesting, the second Flagstad wore a wine colored gowan gown trimed with gold braid, that with her lovely fair hair in two gold braids so was most simply marvelous. The second scene was interesting Flagstad was in white looked beautiful.

July 2 Friday Went out with Amy in the evening to do some marketing. Started my diary. In the evenin afternoon a Scotch friend of Marian Cannon's happened in. That evening Marian came in and had supper and talked. She and her husband, well it ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p030.jpg) certainly is interesting to hear them talk sometimes amazing. Sunday, July 4. Saturday July 3 Read essays for the contest for Elder Sorensen. Had already gone through the poetry group. Yesterday at 4:15 Mr Goodair came to have tea or supper with Amy and me. He is an exceedingly interesting man just runs around all the time and knows everything a lot of things and a lot of people. He knew a lot of people. He knew Mrs Babcock. He told us how he ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p031.jpg) got together a lot of people to meet her and how she agreed to read for any charity they would name. So she read Caesar and Cleopatra, for them Bernard Shaws version play. At the tea table we talked Edward, and Wallis from A. to Z. almost. He was liberal enough that so that we could speak plainly without offending him and we certainly talked things over. Well it is evident that these English aristocrats and middle class think Edward and Wally were bad, especially they seem to think the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p032.jpg) Dutchess of Windsor is bad. They say the Duke of Windsor has always liked that type of person, always like people that there was something irregular about. They say he said al a lot about assisting the underprivileged but when he became King he dismissed people who had given their lives in the service of the Royal Family from Buckingham Belvedere and Sangraham palaces. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p033.jpg) Sunday Morning July 4, 1937 I am still in bed resting my leg and it is now possibly eleven a.m. I am musing over the fact that tomorrow it will be just 72 years since my beloved father arrived in Utah; and that on the 22 of July, of this year it will be just 72 years since he married my mother Mary Ann Tuddenham Reynolds. Tomorrow I am going with Amy and Amy Katherine to a reception given to Americans by Ambassador Bingham, ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p034.jpg) 30 and my mind goes back to that other coronation year in 1911, when Whitelaw Ried, then American United States ambassador to Great Britain received American citizens at Grovsnor House. I recall the liveries they were wine colored velvet and each one had a monogram with R upon it. The entire house was decorated with coronation blue flowers and the refreshments were elaborate many sorts of sandwiches, olives of a variety, cakes, tea, <(an assortment)> coffee, chocolate, soft drinks, wines, and other things which I do not now ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p035.jpg) In the evening visited the South London Branch. I spoke It was a mutual session. They had there own meeting house rembember. Sunday Monday morning July 5. Just one thought consumes me this morning - it is that seventy-two years ago this very morning my Father reached Utah and on the twenty-second of July 1875 he reached Utah married mother. In the afternoon attended the fourth of July reception at Ambassador W. H. Binghams home. The boquets looked lovely in red white and blue. Nowhere in the world. I think, could boquets in those colors be more beautiful. All the colors are so vivid. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p036.jpg) A fine band played national airs. The refreshments were moderate not elaborate as they were when Whitelaw Reid was ambassador. There were many American there probably 5 or 6 hundred while we were there, a good sprinkling of Utahns. Among others Amy Brown Lyman Rose Wallace Bennet Elane Wallace Alice L Reynolds Marie Waldrum Miss Gardner. Miss Nebakers daughter. The band The Stars Spangled banner and afterwards ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p037.jpg) God save the King which would doubtless have been called America in the United States July 6 Remained in the house and worked on an editorial for the Star. July 7 Wednesday. Went to Jessie's for dinner. Had a lovely dinner. She wore and exquisite blue dinner gown, approaching a deep blue not in the navy's near but not a peacock blue. She looked very well in it. We had steak green peas new potatoes, cabbage. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p038.jpg) strawberries and cream crackers which the call biscuits and cheese for dinner. July 8 Thursday. In Day spent writing and visiting with Amy we are having some very fine visits In the evening a man who is assistant master in one of the schools came over to 5 Gordon Square and let us see the views he had taken all over England, lantern slide. It was interesting I learned some new things, among others that in England they say Kettie and in Scotland they say Celtic. What I liked most of all was ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p039.jpg) his command of the English language. He had all sorts of different ideas to put over but he never looked for a word. July 9 Thursday July 9, Friday Visited with Amy and looked over Richard's address that he is deliver before the International Council for the Abolition of War. July 10. Friday Saturday Packed bags in the morning to go to Hern Bay with Cousin Jess, Amy Katherine, Amy Bo grandaughter was going ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p040.jpg) with me. At 1:15 Jessie came. As usual she was dressed exquisitely. She had a wine colored suit looked like broad cloth. Short coat the fashionable suit this year. She had on navy blue shoes and a beautiful sued bag with a most eq exquisite handle. Her hat was navy blue with two roses on it one rose harmonized with the wine colored rose which carried the tint of suit. She took us to Victoria station where Peter joined us. Peter is a lovely boy, rather mature for his age. He is very ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p041.jpg) courteous. At Hern Bay we were met by John taken to Jessie's car driven by Battern her choufer. Chouffer. The car she drives was one the Duke of Kent used when he was courting Marina, it still has his mascott on it. Then I went up to our room it was done in tan the golden puffs on the bed and drapes were in perfect harmony. There were twin beds. Between them was a chest of draws on top an exqustely white embroidered doche, white upon it a large boquet of sweet peas in a cut ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p042.jpg) glass base. Then we went into the living room where we met Cousin Ethel and her husband Mr. Sprout. The living room too was in brown tones, on the radio a gorgeous buch of crimson roses in a blue receptacle, the place is rightly called Rose. Gart Rosegarth. There were blue dep delphimans and in another vase of cut glass and in y on the mantel about the fire place a lovely boguet of sweet pease all the pastel shades. We had tea together and visited Later near eight o'clock ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p043.jpg) we ate dinner and sometime between ten and eleven went to bed We had I soup, lobster, roast lamb pease potatoes lettuce and tomatoes and custard with raspberries and cheese and biscuit for dinner and for me lemonade. Sunday July 11 The next morning after breakfast which consisted of bacon and eggs toast and orange marmalade and grape fruit, cereal cerial, John Amy and I sat down, Jessie and Peter undoubtedly had breakfast in bed. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p044.jpg) Jess said invited me into her bedroom. Like our room there was a veranda; but ours which like ours looked out upon the ocean with white sails were visibile here and there. As I S She had on a very beautiful blue satin quilted bath robe and a little white lace boudair cap with blue ribbon and a tiny pink flower here and there. He eyes sparkled, she looked rested and there was color in her cheeks. I never saw her look sweeter. Her smile is always a lovely smile that betrays her soul's quality. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p045.jpg) She asked if Amy I would like to go with Balten, 18 miles through that lovely Kentish Country and pick Ethel and husband up. Both Amy and I were delighted at the prospect. In her usual way of thinking of everything she told Balten to drove home a different way s that what we went so that we should see all we could see. It was through lovely country. But then it is the pretty well established that the English countryside is the lovelist in the world. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p046.jpg) When we reached Ethel's home Mr S. would have us get out. We went through her home, not so large as her home in Harrow but room enough. Amy was interested in a grandfather's clock that stood in a corner and was six or seven feet high and the cook stove built into the wall in the kitchen. Her garden was lovely the purple clematis climed over and arch as it used to clime over in h her mother's window. Swet pease roses mar golds, the old fashioned Iris and sweet williams ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p047.jpg) and vegetables back of green hedges and flowers peas carrotts onions potatoes. We had eaten pease and potatoes grown in Ethel's Garden at the London home in St John's Wood. They were good as one ever eats. Mr. S. wanted me to see upstairs. It is roomy enough just Ethel and her husband regne and a [-]maid regular and plenty of room to take care of Bob Francis and Jumbo when they make their visits. As we road back to Rosegarth we talked ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p048.jpg) about Mr Loader; she said he was one of the best men that ever lived I told her to me he was a born gentleman. I told her what her mother had been to me in my life and said one o she was one of the best women I had ever known. And she remarked Wasent father proud of her. Uncle Arthur certainly was. I recalled the days at Harrow when she would go to church and we would di sit by the dining room grate together and he ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p049.jpg) would talk about her. Then we reached Jessies. She was out in the garden; she had a basket on her hand arm into which she was putting faded roses mast[--]l[---]s and leaves as she picked them from the flower beds. The glory of Rosegarth was not the Atlantic ocean that stretched before it but the flower garden. It would be a wonderful place for a garden party. Green grass all over In one center of a large patch of green grass ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p050.jpg) brilliant crimson roses, then towards the back of the house which opened onto the garden, through French doors a pillar of nosturt[--]s perhaps six feet long and two or three feet wide that were magnificent in there pale yellow [-] and deep orange shade among the green leaves. Then behind lovely green hedges, just like those I used to see in my childhood around David O Colders home were pease beans and some other vegetables. I certainly approve of hiding the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p051.jpg) vegetable garden with a lovely green hedge. We went The garden was intregueing. Amy Katherine went swimming with Mr. John as the two lovely Austrian girls call him. Those austrian girls are so sweet and just fit in with the tones of the house in their tan colored dresses dark brown stocking and dark brown shoes. I think they wore white caps. rat not severe ones rather fancy. In the afternoon we had soft drinks and tea; Peter was very attentive to me. Weather Whether it is ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p052.jpg) Jessie's training or not I don't know but John stayd at Amy Katherine's side and Peter at mine. I was interested in the number of recent American books Peter had read. He is a well read chap. He is going in for advertising thinks Verns Paper adverting the most advantageous for English trade the British Broadcasting does not permit advertising. July 12, 1936 Monday Breakfasted at 8 a.m. grape fruit scrambled eggs and hame, serial and toast and marmalade. After breakfast ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p053.jpg) walked about in the lovely garden noticed especially a flower that was not like candy tuft but something like it. England the old fashioned pinks that have perfume. Went up to see Jess and she suggested that Balten drive Amy Katherine and me to Canterbury. That delighted me. We drove through pretty country side leaving Gros Rosegarth at 10 a.m. until we reached Cat Canterbury Cathedral. Then Balten went back. The grand old Cathedral, the part most in edivence from the 14 Century. As we went about we ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p054.jpg) noticed that the windows are placed behind the high gothic pillars but between them thus giving much better light than is often found in a Cathedral. Some of the tracery on the celling made stars and is known as stellar tracery or whatever it is called. By the corona we saw a cresent. Then at a very high point we say a lovely fan pattern on the celing, among the very best examples of fans cut in stones to be found in any English Cathedral. We say the place to which Thomas A Becket ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p055.jpg) rushed from the residence of the Archbishop to the Church when the nobles assalted him. This season London has been running a play called "Murder in the Cathedral, by T.S. Eliot. Sorry I did not get to see it. It was taken off the stage sooner than any one thought it would be. We saw on the floor just before one takes the stairs supposed to lead to the old tomb of Thomas A Becket where the Canterbury pilgrims used to go, on one side a tomb still in colors. It is of an Archbishop conected with ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p056.jpg) the Oxford, and I am writing on this the on the 16, day of July 1937, in Oxford England, waiting for a guide to come and take us about Oxford. On the other side on the same floor is the Black Prince. He is in armor of gold and colors. Above him are his coat his gloves and his hemlet. Then one notices the the worn stone steps up which pilgrims climed for centuries to see the tomb of Thomas A Becket. It All archbishops of Canterbury are buried in Canterbury Cathedral ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p057.jpg) During the week I have seen a Bible chained in the Church I think it was in Canterbury Cathedral. One kind is buried there. The crypt where the remains of Becket are likely in the Crypt. The Cathedral is very lovely there is a little side chapel that is most interesting no wonder a Cathedral has been called a poem in stone After Amy and me I had seen the Archbishops palace, the one in London is called Lambeth palace we sauntered from the Cathedral through some little narrow streets, past short one, past an old tudor house where Queen Elizabeth was entertained ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p058.jpg) The County Hotel ranks first among Canterbury hotels There is a bit of history across the page about in 16 1596, to the County Hotel. A little later John and Jess joined us. Balten had driven to the Cathedral to pick us up but we had gone. We waited until the hot dinner was ready. We had soup good soup, halibut, the best I have eaten since I last left England, potatoes roast beef and Yorkshire pudding peas potatoes custard and apricots and cheese and crackers. Then we drove through lovely Kentish country again, some of the hedges forming a perfect canopy ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p059.jpg) In the time of the Roman occupation 55 to 410 A.D. the citadel stood at about this spot. Massive Roman foundations yet remain of England's fresh green hawthorne on those English country lanes. Soon we came to Doddington the country home that Jess is occupying on the moment. It was the Country home of Simon Doddington in the We had tea there. Thin bread a butter cake rasberry jam and lovely crisp lettuce. As we left Doddington a man handed Jess a basket of mushrooms that he had picked on the grass. The drive continued to be a pleasant drive until we reached London. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p060.jpg) beneath this and adjecent buildings. Medeaeval Times. The Synogogue of Jews was situated here. In 1290 As we were approching the heart of the city someone said Queen Mary's car is directly behind us. We looked and saw her sitting there looking very stately in a white hat. Soon her car passed ours and we saw her plainly someone perhaps John waved to her. Then are car went ahead a bit and finally her car passed ours and she waved at us. Well, the visit was very pleasant; we went home and soon Lila Brimhall and Mabel Brorg called, and all of us Amy B.L. had ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p061.jpg) Edward I gave the building to his wife's robemaker, William Le Taylleur. a president visit. At 10. p.m. I tried to get Lorena Fletcher at there hotel but was unable to do so. July 13 Tuesday. I tried at 8 a.m. to get Lorena was unable to do so. Harvey A answered the phone and said that she and Phyllis had started for Stratford on Avon. I called Mabel Borg Jenkins: We met at the American Express at No 6 Haymarket street and arranged for a trip to Stratford. We got tickets both for the matinee and the evening performance at the Shakespear Memorial ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p062.jpg) more than 15,000 Jews were in that year expelled from England, and the Synogogue Theatre at Stratford. That afternoon we saw a comedy in London called "Bats in the Belfry." The plot was clever and much of the dialogue, but it was too much like some of the stuff one saw and heard in New York in 1932 - 33. To much profaning, merely clever no. maintaing of fine ideals. July 14 Wednesday Mabel and I caught the train at Padd Paddington Station, London, for Stratford on Avon. at 9:10. We ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p063.jpg) became an inn. "The Saracen's Head." Now on this spot is the County Hotel, reached Stratford some time before noon, located at the White Swan at Stratford. Found it a most interesting old place. "The White Swan was, most probably, the comfortable house of some prosperous Stratford merchant in its early days. It was a fine timbered-framed structure that was well over a hundred years old when William Shakespeare was born on Henley Street, a couple of minute walks away. After luncheon we went over to the Memorial Theatre. We say Shakespeare's Cymberline. It was well done; lines spoken in such clear pure English, costumes new and exquisite. There was one ocean scene and the scene where the lead lady sleeps under a ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p064.jpg) balcony canopy exquisite both in design and color. It was there that the villain stole the bracelet from her arm. It is a pretty Rom romantic story beautifully played. After the theatre we walked into the garden behind the theatre brilliant with blossoming plants. We walked down the tree lined path to the church where Shakespeare is buried. It is a lovely old church with very beautiful windows. Two have been placed there by Americans. One is the story of the Pilgrims, and the other is the Seven Ages ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p065.jpg) of Man. It is done through Biblical characters. For instance Moses in the bull rushes represents the infant; Samuel the school boy, Solomon the judge and one of the elderly prophets last stage of all. I had been in the Church at Stratford on three other visits but the architecture never impressed me so much before. Then we went to the chancel where Shakespeare is buried. At the side of the wall is a bust He is buried on the floor [-] under a flag stone on his left his wife Ann Hathaway and on his right this son ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p066.jpg) in law Dr Hall. Near him ad Shakespeare's daughter Susan who is said to be his favorite daughter. We then walked back to the White Swan. On our way we passed The Red Horse Horse the inn where Washington Irving stayed. Right opposite the White Swan is a town fountain that looked old. It is ornamental We had dinner and then went over to the playhouse once more to see Shakespeers Henry Fifth. The theatre is so comfortable the seats the most comfortable that I have ever found in any public auditorium. The play ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p067.jpg) was exceedingly well done especially the man who played Henry Fifth and the Welsh corporal. H He made me think of David John. He said Alexander was born in Massadon but Henry Fifth was born in Monmouth Wales. Consult text. A bit of humor that brought to mind the man who showed his lantern slides at 5 Gordon Square. Henry is talking to Kate he the French lassie he finally marries. He is trying to teach her English. Finally he asks, "who are you?" She replied "Henry Le Roy"; and her response is you must be a Cornish man. This Englishman when he ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p068.jpg) Showing his slides said: in reference to William of Normandy coming over to England that cornishmen they can not understand the Cornishmen: and that the people in Paris can not understand the Normans: the interences seems to be that what they speak is a mixture of English and French. I must add a word once more about the lovliness of the costumes. After the first act we went out on the lovely Veranda stretching out on the tranquil Avon. The trees on the oppossite side are so willowy and lovely. We discovered when we went to bed that ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p069.jpg) our windows were French windows that opened out onto a Veranda directly in front of the monument. Thursday July 15, 189[-] The next morning after breakfast we went to see Shakespear's birth place. We had been there but a moment when I looked over the case where the first editions are kept and saw Violet Johnson Brown. She is over here with a singing group. Strange that it should happen so. The man told us that had Shakespeare published any of his plays the players would refuse to act them. The only plays Shakespeare published in his life were Titus ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p070.jpg) Andronicus and a few one or two not being acted. Only a few copies extant of that first volume published during Shakespeare's life time. One is in America for which the owner paid a fabulous price. It was then that people had gone to the plays began to issue the plays that they had succeeded in getting in a sh sort of short hand, that Shak and they were many, seems to be the man named something like fifty, Shakespear referred to them as "certain stolen and sereptitious editions." Then we went to Shottery to Ann Hathaway's Cottage. We ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p071.jpg) P.S. We went up stairs saw the room in which Shakespeare was born and the flower garden that has paving ever flower mentioned in Shakespeare. taxid over. The flower garden was wonderful, and it looked so pretty in the cottage with its thatched roof and lovely garden It certainly was attractive with its thatched roof and lovely garden. Inside the cottage we saw where Ann's father used to carry on his business something to do with farming: then we saw in the best room that had oak panneling the courting bench near the place where they kept and smoked ham because it was cooler Sh the bench where Shap Shakespear and Ann Hathaway sat. I saw for the first time the sort ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p072.jpg) of beds they slept on, a mattress made of platted straw. We saw the bed room of the house. The daughters of the house entered their bedroom through the father's bed room. There was a room behind where the sons slept entered by another stair case. In the oak pannelled room one saw three types of dishes that had been in the Hathaway family. One was a square piece of wood: the with an indentation in the corner for Salt Salt. When they finished eating their meat off the side that was hollowed out a bit they turned it over on the opposite side for desert ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p073.jpg) Then came the peweter dishes. They were lovely, and there was a fine exhibition in the cabin. After pewter came china. Ann's father was farly fairly well off one would judge. The time had come to leave lovely Stratford. I cast my eyes back at the Chuch and recalled, the Shakespeare festival in 1911, when I visited with Sarah Gertrude Pomeroy. I recall that we all assembled in front of his birthplace on Henley street, and walked to the Church. It was Monday, near the 23 of April, supposed to ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p074.jpg) be the date of his birth. The day before they had held a service in the Church in which the Cannon of West Westminster had been the principal speaker. His text was some spiritual lessons found in Shakespeare's writings. Well, the idea of the processional from Shakespeare's birth place to the Church was to have each person carry a small boquet of flowers, and place on the grave. Some attached tributes to the boquet. Mr. Benson a famous Shakeperian actor, was president of the Shakespeare organization that fostered the program. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p075.jpg) Of course not being a member of the organization I came at towards the end of the procession and when I looked over the chancel of the Church for Shakespeare's resting place it was heaped high with flowers and I could not see it. To be sure I had seen it before in 1906 when our party consisted of myself, I put myself first because I got the party up. Marian Adams who once taught in the Albion State Normal School in Idaho and later in the L.D.S. college Salt Lake City. Her name later was Mrs Ray Gud[---]sen Angie Holbrook, now Mrs ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p076.jpg) Alma O Taylor, Ora Holbrook, now Mrs Bynes Dixon and Nellie Schofield now Mrs J.W. Thornton. I recall on that first visit seeing the fountain in the center of the city contributed by the Americans, and I recall the quotation from Shakespeare on its side one of its four sides. "Honest water that never left any man in the mire." I recall a tremendous flag pole in the center of the business street that had the flags from all nations indicating that all nations pay homage to the immortal Shakespeare. In 1911 plays were being held in the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p077.jpg) Shakespeare memorial theatre; there were paintings of the Seven Ages of Man decorating the Guild Hall. There was also a paintings one that interested me much. It was a painting of David Garrick with his arms around Shakespeare; painted by Gainsborough; great playwright, great actor, great painter joined together to make a magnificent picture. Then I recalled by last visit until the present. It was in August 1911, Fred Hardy now my brother-in-law and my brother Philip were on missions in the Burmingham Conference. They wanted me ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p078.jpg) to visit them at Birmingham but my passion for the Shakespeare country resulted in a compromise. They came to Stratford and we had a delightful day together. We had a boat ride on the Avon in one of the boats called Portia Romeo, Juliet. I believe the one we had the ride in was Juliet, as I think it was a sort of Venetian gondola as I remember. I remember how lovely the trees were, how quiet the water that there were primroses and daisies blossoming on the banks. Another memory is of that wag Phil. He picked ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p079.jpg) up a three cornered rock and handing it to me said: "Allow me to present you with this Indian Arrow head on the banks of the Avon." That was in Aug. 1911. I think I did go to Burmingham just for a day and spent it with the boys. I had a big black hat with ostritch feathers, two long ones. Ted always remembers it. I wanted to see the boys so that I could tell Aunt Mary and Polly about them. We left Stratford for Warnick something after 10 a.m. Lovely Stratford at least "the sweet Swan of Avon" was surrounded ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p080.jpg) by lovely country; he could not get to London with the ease we reached it today in trains and automobiles. A ride of about four stations brought us to Warwick and we were soon on our way to Warwick Castle. The entrance was entrancing in its green lovliness beautiful trees and shrubs everywhere. Of course we saw the armor of all the Earls of Warwick, who names are usually Guy. This last one has put on exibition the gun he carried in the world war. One sees of course the exhibition of armor. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p081.jpg) Paintings. The Holbein painting of Henry the Eighth, a painting of Henry the Eighth when he was a boy better looking than when he grew to be a man; that is he was better looking as a young boy. A painting of Queen Ann's husband, a Danishman, of whom one hears nothing is there. A painting of Sarah Siddons. It is said that her father tried to induce for bade her going on the stage and forbade her marrying an actor. She did both. After a while she came to her father and said ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p082.jpg) Mrs. Siddons was painted by Romney Gainsborough three great painters in all. father acting does not pay much and we haven't had many engagements of late cant you help us. He replied I could but I wont. Y I forbade your marring an actor and you did it. She quickly replied. Who said I married an actor. She belonged some how to the house of Warick. Then a painting of the Earl of Leichester. The guide remarked he too fared badly poor fellow all because of that ring that is now found in Elizabeth's tomb. There is a most ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p083.jpg) extrodinary painting of Charles the first in the dining room, well lighted when the lights are turned on. The castle was first Saxon then Norman it has been as it is since the fourteenth century. It is the best example of a castle I have ever seen. The port cullis moat are distinct The Earl and Countess of Warick still occupy some rooms not open to the public. There was a tremendous g black stone bowl that in the days before the war the guide said they ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p084.jpg) used to fill with punch and drink toasts to the Earl of Warwick. We saw the Chapel where we were told in the days before the war they used to hold devotion each morning when they had an organist and choir boys. Then he showed us a portrait of some one that some people that his spirit came back. No castle seems to be complete without its ghost. Then he showed us the clock that he said had the family motton on it which ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p085.jpg) reads: "We can hardly call these things our own." He told us also that some of the fine paintings belonging to the family were disposed of in order to fight Cromwell. After a while one of these paintings drifted back on the market and the Duke of Warwick responsible for cutting the fine passage through to the castle bought it beds We went over to see the Chapel in the Church where all the Warwicks are buried. We saw Sir Thomas Beecham's tomb in the Beecham Chapel. He was Warwick the King maker. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p086.jpg) Thayer or Baker streets where Father's mother and father and grandparents lived. When we came out it was raining - pouring we surely were glad we had our rain coats. P.S. After leaving Warwick Castle we went out to see a very beautiful Greecian Urn it is the original one brought from Greece. We saw such beautiful land it is such a magnificant estate. It is there the Merry Wives of Windsor and Mid Summer Nights Dreams have been presented. We left Warwick and got off at Leamington the place where in 1910 I saw "When Knights were Bold" ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p087.jpg) I never shall forget two things about that play: the first the knights in armor bowed down to men whe nuns and priests bowed down to people when they saw smoke coming out of their nose and mouth as they smoked. They thought there was something supernatural about them. Then when the bowed down to the young aristocrat who was smoking he pretended they were bending over for a race. So he said one, two, three, go. Which are you Oxford or ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p088.jpg) Canb Cambridge men. At Lemington we Leamington we boarded a train for Oxford. We arrived in Oxford about 4:45 p.m. We were hungry for we had not been able to get luncheon. We finally located at Randolf hotel. I had my supper or as the English put it tea on a street for close to the lovely monument built to commemorate the fact that Ridley Latimer and bishop Cramner or Cramer I can't recall were burned to death in Arch Mary Tudor's reign because they were Protestants. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p089.jpg) Mabel Borg Jenkins was with me that night. The next morning she took a train for London. I first hunted up a Jeweler and had my watch fixed so that it would not fall from the chain. Friday July 16 Had breakfast which was an exceedingly good breakfast including grape fruit a serial ham eggs toast and very good orange marmalade with plenty of hot milk. Then we I found a guide to take me about Oxford. We were three. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p090.jpg) The guides name was Stevens. He was such a lovely man. First we went to Worsh Wocester College. 13 Century. The inner quad ordinary but we passed through a gate to another quad, gorgeous trees beautiful chestnut trees copper Beech, grass and lake. It was one of the finest lots of landscape I have ever seen. There was no lovelier spot even on the Cornell Campus, which I think is the most beautiful campus I have ever see, but it was so small. When we visited Wodham ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p091.jpg) college we went into one of these lovely outer quads and there we saw what is reputed to be the largest copper berch in England and it was astonishing. It was surrounded by a rock garden that had shrubs from all over the world. Two such cute little juniper trees growing in the rocks. We saw Trinity College and from the outside Maudlin College, where the Prince of Wales later Duke of Windsor attended. Our guide said he was popular at Madeline perhaps spelled ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p092.jpg) pronounced Mandline. We saw the womans college Margaret. Women were refused degrees at Oxford until 1920 when suffrage Now women may receive degrees at Oxford just as men do. Christ Church College was exceedingly interesting. Of course the dining rooms and the chapels are the main features in the the buildings of each college. The lectures are given in the dining room. We saw the old theatre at where degrees are conferred. There are perhaps twenty- five or more colleges ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p093.jpg) We were shown the place where Queen Mary came to open the new extention for the Bad new Baudlin libray at Oxford. The dining room at Christs Church College was full of fine paintings. Mary were of proment men who had attended the College. There was an unusual painting of Queen Elizabeth showing her very slender waist. St John's College was attractive. Most of these were old. The most badly battered buildings we saw were some that had been built in the 18 Century. They resurface the buildings all the time that is the only way they can keep them up. Come back to No 5 Gordon Square that evening. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p094.jpg) Saturday July 17 Rested my leg was swollen. Sunday July 18 Rested the leg during the day went to Ravenslea which is the meeting house in the South London Branch, with Amy B.L. Monday July 19. Rested during the day went over some editorials with Richard R.L. for the M Star. In the evening we went to the station to meet President Grant. He came in at Liverpool Street Station. There was a goodly crowd ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p095.jpg) of Saints at the station to meet him. They sang "We Thank Thee O. God for a Prophet." Then President Grant Amy and Richard and Amy Katherine got into a taxie and started for his hotel. As the taxie started off he said: "Consider yourselves kissed." Tuesday July 20 Passed in resting which means reading and writing. I started Richard Evan's book. On the History of the British Mission. It is a good book full of valuable ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p096.jpg) information. Oscar Kirkham had tea with us that evening and could not eat shrimps. and we had such delicious shrimp and grape fruit salad. Wednesday noon Arthur Winter and wife had July 21 Arthur Winter had the noon meal with us. That is Arthur Winter and wife. Arthur Winter referred to father as an educated man.

Mrs Hinckley spent the afternoon with me Mrs Edwin S. She really hadn't had as fine a time as we hoped for her. She will come out in this part for a time now. Last evening, Richard Amy Amy Katherine and I went to the Bennington Hotel for dinner. The invitation came from Vida Fox Clawson. President Grant and President and Mrs Clark were there, We got to visit with Vida's group. I was surprised how many of my students ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p100.jpg) were in the group and how many people I knew Willl There were with them that I knew right well. Some who were with them were Ruth May Fox. Vida Fox Clawson Laura Patrick Nicholsen.

He and Lorena were going to Paris. Amy and Richard were having ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p102.jpg) a dinner party at the Royal Automobile Club to honor President Heber J. Grant. We went at six o'clock. President Grant came about the same time. Soon Ambassador W.H. Bingham came and chatted with president Grant until near seven o'clock. Mrs Bingham had flu so she could not come. President and Mrs. Reuben Clark had met him the day before, so he was acquainted with them when he came in. So Harvey Fletcher came in for a time and met the group, but he was having dinner with some two ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p103.jpg) or three prominent scientists in London.

Captain and Mrs Dudley Foster, then the automobile man who will be on the Salt flats of Salt Lake City in about six weeks. He know Sir Malcolm Campbell. He said he was going to talk to Salt Lake the most powerful aut automobile made. He said the Salt flats near Salt Lake was the best place in the world to buy it out and thats why they made that distance. I suppose he knows Ab Jenkins. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p105.jpg) The menu consisted of first of all a very refreshing cocktail of cantalope and grape fruit; two soups consomme and a creme soup. I had the creme Filet of Sole. I recall how father always longed for the English sole which he could not get. Then they roast chicken new potatoes and Jersey green beans. After ice a ice cream with raspberries, and those delicious candy cakes which I call Hungarian cakes. The following people spoke at the dinner. Richard read the chapter from "Larry" about the 24th of ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p106.jpg) July celebration, then Ruth May Fox told about coming accross the plains, very cheerful had a little gingle about getting there heels and noses skinned and noses burned, no whining from her. Hugh Brown made a fine talk exceptionally fine Joseph J. Cannon. Mr. Goodair told how he first met the Mormons. He told his story superbly. He said he was going through Hyde Park when he notic noticed a young man whose personality attracted the group. His name was George Romney. He said he was letting that ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p107.jpg) group something that they did not believe at all. He was talking about the Word of Wisdom of which I had never heard. He said people should not drink tea or coffee. Mr Gordan said he had never in his life heard that there was anything wrong with tea or coffee so he resoled to ask a friend of his who was a famous Australian athelete. He found his friend and asked him and the friend said you might as well drink whiskey straight as black coffee, ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p108.jpg) and as for tea if people wished to drink tea they should drink but one cup and that should be merely colored water. He said he returned to tell the young men in Hyde Park what his friend had said only to discover that there were other young men there. When he asked for Mr Romey he was told it was not his turn to be there. He invited the young two young men who were ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p109.jpg) through preaching to come and have a cup of chocolate. They appeared to be in some hurry as they ha were catching the last train to where they were going. Mr Gordan said he would They said they must put the platform away. He said he knew just where the platform belonged tha and that he would be glad to stay and assist the elder in putting it away. He said they took it to the mew, which seems to be an English name for a livery stable at one time ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p110.jpg) and a garage at the present time. Next day when the elders went to look for it it was not there and as Mr. Goodair put it although t ten years have practically passed they have never found it since. He then sent a postal order to the elders furnishing with which the purchase another platform, but they returned saying he was in no way to blame for its disappearance. He mail Mr. Goodair mailed the order a second time stating that he insisted on purchasing another, that under no consideration ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p111.jpg) we he have those young elders purchase another ptalform platform. They wrote back and said they would not have to pay for it that there was a fund providing for such expenses. Other people who spoke at the dinner. Richard read from Larry Ruth May Fox. Joseph Cannon, Hugh B. Brown Lucy Grant Cannon Alice L Reynolds. William Edgar Goodair President Reuben Clark Clarrisa Beesley Captain Eastin Amy Brown Lyman Alice L Reynolds ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p112.jpg) Of course the principal speaker of the evening was President Heber J. Grant in whose honor the dinner was given. July 25. Sunday attended the service at "Ravensly": the place where the London South Branch meets. When the meeting opened it was announced that ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p113.jpg) perhaps President Grant would dedicate the meeting house but they did not know President Grant had spoken as had President G Brown president Cannon and President Clark. I sat in a little room at the side where there was transmission from the main room so that those people might get in, who had helped build the chapel. President Grant finally amoun announced that it was against the policy of the church to dedicate a meeting house until it was paid for, but the Church ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p114.jpg) had looked, into the situation and concluded that it would wipe out the remaining indebtedness so President Grant dedicated the Ravensly the meeting place for the South London Branch. Then I went home and rested. I did not go to the evening meeting. Amy Katherine was going to Rochdale that night with Brother Tanners, she came in my room and said part of her speech several times and then went to bed. Later Richard (Lyman) called saying that Mona had the people in to eat a ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p115.jpg) sandwich and invited me over. I went over, spent a little time came home and went to bed near midnight. Amy Katherine got up and went with Brother Tanner. The people all reported that the meeting at the North London Branch had been very fine. They said when Elder Poole got up to introduce President Grant the tears streamed down his cheeks, it was the climax of a great desire for him. July 26 Rested most of the day. In the afternoon I walked over the to the University ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p116.jpg) of London and inquired whether anyone on their staff conducted parties about literary London London. He said no, but if anyone from the faculty of the University of London was engaged doing that sort of thing Cooks, Thomas Cook and Son would know of it, and they advised me to ask there. I went over to the British Museum and walked throug I saw and saw some of their exhibits of China. I did not know there was black wedgewood. But I saw some of it with lighter images upon it. Rested the remainder of the day. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p117.jpg) The British Museum was just five blocks from No 5 Gordon Square July 26 27. From July 27 until July 29, Amy would have some of the Salt Lake visitors in either for the noon meal or tea. President Grant telephoned one day he would like to come up for bread and milk and he came, of course Brother Anderson was often there. Most every On day someone was in July 29 (Thursday) President Grant President Clark and Brother Anderson had dinner at Amys. They talked ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p118.jpg) for the most part about Oscar Kirkham, Brother Clark said he was amazed at the influence he weilded there in Washington with the Scouts. Said after other had failed to bring order in a large assembly after some tenor h had been singing She thought it was Larry somebody, he slip[---] for[---]s merely stood there and got attention. I then told them the story of how Chief West introduced him at a great Scout Convention, as "Mr Oscar a Kirkham God's g gift to scouting Gladys fixed her lunch I did my packing and ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p119.jpg) as we were leaving next morning for the Centenial Celebration at Rochdale. Wednesday July 29 28. This account should come before July 29. Wednesday July 28, Mrs E.S. Hinckley and I went took the sight seeing trip around London. We started from near Russell square and saw the changing of the guards. St James Park which by the way is very beautiful, St Pauls Church passed the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p120.jpg) Chesser Cheese, and Old Curiosity shop, went down pell mell, and through the admirality arch down the wall to the Vestona Monument and Buckingham Palace. Then we ate at a little restaurant where we got a lunch for one shilling Later w After Of course it did not amount to any thing not at least we got a good drink of water which we both needed more than food. We went to the Polytechnic theatre where I saw a marvelous presentation of of the Coronation. One of the beautiful things ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p121.jpg) was to see the king going down the nave of Westminster Abbey with the little pages carrying the robe. Then the queen she looked very lovely. Then the Lords came with the canopy and he was anointed the a lovely robe put on him and finally the crown. The cannon of Westminster carried the Crown for the archbishop which he placed on the head of the king. We saw the street procession; saw the duke of Norfolk receive them. We saw both Glouster Kent and ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p122.jpg) Archbishop and the duke of Norfold do then obesience to the king and kiss him. The street procession returning was very lovely full of color, as usual I enjoyed particularly the Scotch band both the uniforms and the bg bagpipes. The royal coach which was built for George III looked lovely as did the Queen inside the coach with Queen Mary and the two royal prince sess princesses. The music could be heard so plainly. Then when they got back to Bucking- ham palace it was ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p123.jpg) raining. You could see the rain splashing on the pavement. Mona Wilcox Cannon who saw the Coronation procession of in 1911 for George V thr thought the people from East India in their lovely costumes were more prominent than at this present coronation of George VI. Judging from the procession tha picture of the procession that was true. I recall that it seemed there was no end to the dark skinned people ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p124.jpg) in gorgeous silk costumes of all sorts. The picture also showed Rudyard Kipling's lovely story of the Elephant Boy. We say the king and queen review the navy. When I reached home Richard and Amy (Lyman) had gone to Joe's and Mona's for dinner (Jos. Cannon and Mona W Cannon). Glyd Gladys, Mrs Lymans maid told me I was supposed to go to the dinner but did not get home in time. July 30th Friday. Gladys and I went to the sta Enston station and took the train for ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p125.jpg) Rochdale. When we reached the station Marnie Wells Lovell and Addie Hinckley were there. I We got into the train and got a nice compartment just as we were starting along came Mona and Mark or Markie as Gladys always called him. The English Country side was lovely as we went. We rached Rochdale between 12 and one a.m. We went immediately to in a taxi to Vaux Hall the building where the Reverend Fielding used to preach and ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p126.jpg) were where Heber C. Kimball and Orson Hyde first preached. On the outside of the building one read aux hall and then the words a particular Baptist Church. It was small and very dirty with a high pulpit. It certainly showed its age. At least the Mormon missionaries preached there one hundred years before. We then went to see where Brothers Kimbal Kimball and Hyde first lodged. Then we went out for the services at the River ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p127.jpg) Ribble. There was a large group possibly five hundred. President Grant was the chief speaker others were Hugh B Brown Joseph Cannon and Richard R. Lyman. Dur There at V At Vaux Hall I met Bert and John for the first time on the trip. The h We walked from Vaux Hall out to the River Ribble together. During the course of President Grant's remarks he said he thought that the British people had made a greater contribution to the leadership out the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p128.jpg) Church that all the other missions put together. He said if he was mistaken he would find it out and correct it. Then he said George Reynolds was one of the General authorities of the Church who came from Great Britain, he said that father gathered many statistics, and if he were alive he would know; then he said that both father and Orson Pratt were fond of gathering statistics. Then he said George Reynolds has a daughter here today. I spoke up and said two. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p129.jpg) At the end of the meeting President Grant had the women come together so the people could see them and asked us to stand up with them. There was Amy B. Lyman, Mrs Fox, Mrs Lucy G Cannon Mrs C Beesley and Bert and I that is Mrs. John Russell and myself, Alice Louise Reynolds. They President Grant also unveiled a bronze tablet on which was written the first nine converts of the Church were baptized in the River Ribble in 1837. There were a number of ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p130.jpg) the decendants of those early missionaries. There Great grand sons of Heber C. Kimball Willard Richards and one of the woman her name was Wamsley I think who was cured of tuberculosis when she was baptised. July 31 Saturday After the meeting at the river side we went to Rochdale from from Preston. We went down the main thorough fare of Preston down which elders Kimball and Hyde walked when they entered the town. The ride from Preston ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p131.jpg) to Rochdale was through very lovely English countryside, the trees were particularly beautiful. I was tired when I got home and my foot was hurting me from an elastic stocking I had on. We went to the L.D.S. meeting house in Rochdale and there found out we had reservations at the Wellington Hotel. Next morning we I was so tired I rested. About eleven o'clock I went out and bought some grape fruit spoons and some broaches. Went ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p132.jpg) to meeting at the L.D.S. chapel in the afternoon. We had our noon meal and tea at Pioneer Hall. So many stairs. Then we went over to the Rochdale Town Hall for the pageant. It was jamed but a seat had been saved for me. I was amazed as was practically everyone else at the fine way it in which it was produced. Great credit is due my own dear Marie Waldrum for the manner in which it was put on. They certainly made good use of the material ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p133.jpg) P.S. Amy Katherine, Kelly and Gladys were all in the plastic at the end of the pageant. contributed for costumes. Their readers were also very good. Rochdale was the home birthplace and home of John Bright. It is also the place that cons conceived the Rochdale plan for doing business. They still have feine works there. Sunday Aug 1, 1937 We went to the Town Hall in the morning, crowded a fine meeting President Grant spoke well the meeting was good. We had luncheon in Pioneer Hall. Then we ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p134.jpg) went to the meeting in the afternoon it too was very good. After meeting John Bert Mrs Hinckley and I had some ice cream then we went to Pioneer Hall and had our evening meal. We went over to the Town Hall and had a meeting. (Kitty) Mrs Miss Harner, read the poem which won the prize that was to President Grant. Then a nice young girl came in and presented him with a bunch of roses probably pink, which typified his youth, then another girl come in and presented him with a bunch of ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p135.jpg) red roses for all the years of his apostleship and finally at the end f yellow roses for the years he had been president. Then allowed President Grant's address, Ray Russell leading the choir. The singing was fine, President Grant's testimony was full of fine and convincing. He told the story of the vision that made known to him that he had been made an apostle at so early an age because of his fathers' faithfullness and desire that he ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p136.jpg) should be one. There was great power to his testimony. Monday Aug 2. 1937 A meeting in the morning where Amy Katherine and Markie Cannon made their little speeche speeches for the Primary. In the afternoon we went to Spotland field for the sports part of the program. Sisters Fox Cannon & Bessly & President Grant were on the grand stand also the Cannons Amy and Richard Lyman Mrs E.S. Hinckley and myself. The men marched around ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p137.jpg) singing The M. Men are marching along. They made the M.I.A. letter right in front of the President's stand. Then a fine young fellow stepped forward and presented President Grant with the Union Jack, then one stepped forward and presented Mrs Fox with the Union Jack, then a lovely Scotchman presented George D. Pyper with the Union Jack. President Grant was presented with a gold pin which made him a member of the British missionary society. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p138.jpg) I think they called it the B.M.A. Mona and Joe had a similar pin. A woman from the Burmingham Missionary society stepped forward and gave to present President Grant a lovely lace table cloth which she asked to be taken to Mrs Grant. Maria was also given a table cloth. The meeting was touching; it drew from President Grant another blessing, and Ruth May Fox made one of the cleverest responses I have ever heard. She said she had never admited she was old. She is eighty-three now, nor ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p139.jpg) did she admit it, but sometime when she did get old she would draw her children and grand children about her and tell them of this occassion. She said she thought she could hear them say now mother are you going to tell us about that you have told us about it twenty times already. We went back to the Wellington Hotel packed our gripps, and caught a 4:45 train out of Rochdale arriving in London at 9 sharp. It was a fast train. We had just settled at on the steps ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p140.jpg) at No 5 Gordon Square, that is Marnie Wells and I when along came President Clark to see if there was any mail. Tuesday Aug 3. Spent much of the day resting, as the walks and particularly the steps about Rochdale had been hard on my foot. However, a Miss Wednesday Aug 4 Henry from Germany, lived in Nurenberg wanted to go to Hyde Park, so I took her. Mrs Hinckley was down in front so we all got into a taxi cab and went to Hyde Park. We first saw the river this side of the Hyde ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p141.jpg) Park Hotel, with the boats on it. It was very lovely winding its way through the grand old English trees. They we went on to Rotten Row and watched the horse back riding for a bit. We made our way to the band stand where a concert was being given past best beds of lovely flowers. Then we rested and listened to the Scotch band play. They looked very gorgeous in their Scotch plaids. Miss Henry, the dear little German girl whose Mother was German and her Father Jewish was greatly delighted with the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p142.jpg) Scotch kilts as she had never seen them before she said except in photographs. A bagpiper came along and played the bagpipes while four other Scotchman danc danced the Highland fling. It was interesting. Then we left Hyde Park and went to Kew gardens. When I got hom I was tired, but Bert and John had called in the interem. I first called Jess and told her they were at the Strand Palace Hotel: she said she would try to get them and have ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p143.jpg) them at No 15 St John's Park Wood the following evening. for dinner. She called back saying she could not get them, but would call in the morning. I reste Wednesday Aug 4. I rested in the morning but at nine o' clock went down stairs and telephoned to Bert and John at the Straud Palace Hotel. They had heard from Jess so we arranged that they should call for me at No 5 Gordon Square and from there we should take a taxi to Jessies. I went back to my room to rest as the visits to ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p144.jpg) Hyde Park and Kew gardens had been rather taxing the day before. Kew gardens were not at their best in early August, but I recall them in April and May 1911 when they were indescibably lovely. I saw more orchids there than I have ever seen at any other place in my life. At four P.M. I went down stairs took a bath, and dressed in my black lace dress. I had not had it on for some time as I wore my blue lace at the Lyman dinner at the Royal Automobile Club, so I quite enjoyed it. At ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p145.jpg) about 6:30 John and Bert arrived and we went to No 15. Jess had on a black satin dress long, with a little jacket of the prevailing fashion of gold and henna. The lovely table was serv served with lace places doilies. very beautiful. The two Austrians girls in brown uniforms waited on us. Peter and Jess and John and Bert and I made up the dinner party. We had soup, and fish and roast chicken, with a bit of ham, some sort of a white sauce which looked like horse radish but was not, and was rather good with the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p146.jpg) chicken, potatoes, beans and peas. Then we had soufflee with a wonderful compote, many fruits mixed. Then cheese and tho with those incomparable English biscuits. Thursday Aug 5 Getting ready to go to Paris. Took my passport down to the American Express to have it visaed for France Mrs Hinckley went along with me. President Grant Brother Anderson, president Grant's secretary and a Brother some Jacob who was a convert from the Holy Land going over to take charge of the Turkish mission. were at lu at Mrs ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p147.jpg) Lymans for luncheon. In the evening President Grant and Brother Anderson came in for the evening meal. Aug 6, Friday. President Grant Richard and party left for Holland and Norway Sweden and Denmark. I met John H. Russell at the American Express and purchase tickets for Paris. Mrs Lyman had Marnie Wells Lovell to dinner. In the evening we went to the Lyric theatre and saw Victoria Regina. Clarissa Beesley came and slept at the house that ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p148.jpg) 144 evening. Saturday Aug 7. Amy and I had some good long visits on the bed after Richard left. Clarissa Beesley and Lutie came twice and found us visiting. However, once was in the early afternoon the other time about nine o' clock in the evening. The fact that we had both changed our dresses was the only thing that proved that we had not been there all the time. L Once the next day Miss Beesley came and ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p149.jpg) found us both on the bed. Addie Hinckley and Georgia Young came and had dinner with us at noon We had such good gravey and such good roast beef. In the evening Amy and I had one long visit. I had done most of my packing in the morning. Sunday Aug. 8 1937 Left No 5 Gordon at 8 a.m. Pretty soon Very soon John and Bertie came along. We left London at 8:30 a.m. Reached Boulogne near noon We reached Folkstone early about 11:30. Had a very calm ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p150.jpg) crossing of the English Channel. Reached Bolongne about 1:30. Did not eat dinner until the second table. Had a good dinner which John H. paid for. We did not start to eat until 3 p.m. We reached Paris after four and Bob Allen met us at the Gar du Nord. We went immediately to the hotel where John and Bert were staying to stay, deposited the baggage there, then went out to Versailles, as Bob thought the fountains would be ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p151.jpg) playing. They were not much to our disappointment. However, the old palace looked much as usual the gardens very lovely. John D. Rockfellor has given these people money to restore anything that has fallen into decay on the grounds. We went to the place and looked that gives one the sense of never ending. We also saw the summer ball room that had been restored. We saw the places where the toarches use to Burn burn, when it was first built in the 18 ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p152.jpg) We saw the room where the Versailles treatey was made. early 18th century. We saw the place where the King sat. It was all very grand looking if not so really beautiful. Then we started back to Paris. We came to where the old Saint Cloud gates used to be on the way from Versailles to Paris. They were like columns of glass; peace monuments with water flowing over them. Went home rested for a time then started out for the evening. Ate at a restaurant near the Hotel where John and Bert stayed. It was so good to have some ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p153.jpg) salads once more. We had a delicious caluflower salad on the train coming down. Had some lettuce salad at the restaurant. Then we went about Paris a bit saw six lovely fountains playing. They came up from glass receptacles that were illuminated. Something new and very effective. Then we went on to the Exposition grounds. The fountains there were lovely. Lovely in all the pastel shades. My lu[-]k at striking expositions is proverbial. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p154.jpg) The place of the six fountains that we saw as we went from the restaurant to find a taxi This is my fourth visit to Europe and I have never failed to find an exposition, a good one sometimes as in <18> 24 and 1825 1924-1925 two. Pretty tired when I arrived home. Went to bed slept soundly. Rested well but found a wealth of enjoyment from Bab's and Bessie's balcony so brilliantly lighted in the evening. S Monday Aug 9, 1937 This is the anniversary of Father's passing Twenty-eight years ago today. I was in Yellowstone Park then with ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p155.jpg) to go to the Exposition is called the round point of the shows Ellessie. Bryant Hinckley, Ada Bitner Hinckley whom he had just married Angie Halbrook and Milton Bitner. Today I am sitting on Bob and Bessie Allen's balcony looking over Paris France. The Seine River ripples gently below, their apartment directly below it, John and Bert Russell are here at a hotel visiting Paris. As I write I see Eiffell Eiffel Tower in the distance. It was begun in 1887 and was the center of the great exposition of 1890. That is forty-seven years ago, ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p156.jpg) almost half a century. Today it is important as the center of the 1937 exposition. Behind it rises the dome of the Church of the Sacred Heart in the Mo Mart district, where the good restaurants are. To the right is the dome of the tomb of Napoleon the Great. When I was in Paris in 1925 it was the end of a very lovely exposition of Decorative Arts, which began between the Grand Palaise and the Petite Palaise, and took in the Seine with the lovely Alexandrian Brig Bri brig Bridge, and ended with the Tomb of Napoleon. As I sit writing ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p157.jpg) on the balcony boats are slowly gliding down the river. The evening sunlight is shimmering lighting up the shimmering waves, but it is not so brilliant as it was this morning. I can see the stars and stripes floating over U.S. Buildings at the exposition. Opposite me at this moment is an excursion boat of toursits having a ride on the Seine River. The exposition [---]ds can be seen [-]ery readily. It is 10 p.m. and I have just come in and am adding one word to my diary. Why what's that? ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p158.jpg) It sounds like fire works. Bob thought there would not be any tonight. Yes, there they are going up to the left of Eiffil Tower. How splendid they make the grand old tower look. To The fountains are visible from this balcony. Every thing about the exposition looks very festive. Tuesday Aug 10. It is just two months today since I left Salt Lake City. The time is passing rapidly, Then and I am enjoying myself a great deal. The only thing I could really wish for more than I ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p159.jpg) have is that this right leg would hold up a little better. In the afternoon Bessie and I went down the Rue De Rivolie. I bought a pair of white lace gloves some stationary and postage stamps for letters. We came home. Bessie got dinner. It was so good. We had rice with rich gravey and mushrooms mushrums a combination I always like very much. Bob Bessie & I In the evening we went to a sort of Passion Play typically French. I did not think much of the play it was too noisy and ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p160.jpg) They used the entire space in front of Notre Dame, right to the Palace of Justice for their audotorim and it was full. There must too many devils in it by far, altogether too much hell fire; but what I did like was the setting. It was put directly in front of the Cathedral of Notre Dame and they used an N the rose window illuminated from behind very effectively in the play. The music was also good I think I have a good many Passion Plays on my stink by now. They have come to be some- thing like expositions with me. First, there was the Passion Play at Oberamagua that I saw in 1910, by all odds the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p161.jpg) have been thousands of people there. They used the span of the steps of the Cathedral half way up the beautiful doors. best. Then I saw one at the Stadium at the University of Utah by another German Group, from what c which city I do not recall at this time. Then in New York in the autumn of 1932 written by Don Marcus and called "The Darkest Hour" or something like that. It had some exquisite lines and scenes in it. Then in 1935 I saw, with Alice Cluff Wilson the Passion Play in Los and Leonard, her husband, a play in c Los Angeles, know ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p162.jpg) as an American Passion Play by some, I shall never forget how effective the mountain at the back front of the audatorium which they used as part of the stage was. How telling it was in the transfiguration and finally in the ascention, way up the mountain side The English actor who played the roll of Christ was very fine in the part. He of course more than any other single feature made the play fine as the setting was. I have learned since writing this something I did not know ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p163.jpg) before. This passion play put on was a middle age miracle play that treated with the death trial and death of Christ. It too began with the triumphal entry into Jerusalem That accounts for the Caldron of fire the devils and the middle age costumes. Wednesday Aug 11 Bessie and I wer met John and Bert at their hotel at 2 pm. We took a taxi from the hotel and went first to the Saint Chapelle. It looked just as beautiful as ever. It was built in the reign of Henry IV of ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p164.jpg) *Made almost entirely of stained glass windows. During the war they had to take it to pieces to protect it from the big German guns. France. It is one of the most exquisite gems in Europe* Then we walked into the Cathedral of Notre Dame, looked at the rose windows; hunted up the stature of Joan of Arc, placed in Nortre Dame since she was canonized in 1920 We looked at the stature of the Virgin and Child, in a prominent place under a small but very rich canopy which suggests the name of the Cathedral. The face of the Virgin is rather expressionless. We went out of the Cathedral and first looked at the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p165.jpg) *Please look at your gui[-]de when home to see the exact date of the Cathedral, someone suggested the 12 Century gargoiles, with their "ugly faces", as Tom Gites used to say. call them "ugly dogs". Then we went on the right hand side of We had been looking at the left hand side of the Cathedral; we got into a taxi and as we rode away we saw once more the left hand side of the building with its lovely flying buttresses. Again I sensed the beauty of it all. Where did those early centuries get the intelligence to build churches so superbly beautiful? From the Cathedral we went to the Tomb of Napoleon. It had been all smartened up, and gave the same ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p166.jpg) impression of elegance that it has always given. The altar was beaming as the sun, for it was a fine day, broke through the bronze glass and shone on the altar. I have seen the cold light that comes through the dark blue glass look much colder at other times than it did today. the sun was to bright outside to give the full effect of coldness. There was one new thing in one of the little alcoves a or chapels to the side, beautiful with their smaller painted domes as the one directly over Napoleons tomb is with its large painted ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p167.jpg) dome, is the place where Field Marshal Foch rests; it is like the places where Napoleon's brothers rest. It is another marvel in French Art. Eight French, (dough boys) common soldiers in their heavy coats and helments, in bronze, hold up a upon their shoulders a couch on which the stature of Marshal Foch lies. It is tremendously effective. Wherever the French fail they seem to escape failures in art; they always seem to do something tremendously gripping, I mean appropriate and also always beautiful. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p168.jpg) From Napoleon's tomb they went to the Louver. I looked once more at the massiveness of the buildings surrounding the block the a with its gardens in the center and arch surmounted by has a group of horses. As long as the The French kings certainly succeeded in making things look regal. Well we walked into the building. Soon we were at the the beginning of the long passage that leads to the statue of the Venice De Milo. Artistic French they give us a long walk before we reach the statue. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p169.jpg) in other words for fully a minute, perhaps two we have looking at it before we reach it and it has been growing lovelier with every second. Then we had another look at the Winged Victory at the top of the stairs. They used to The Greeks used to place these lovely images at the front of their ship, to help them look splendid. This ship got a beautiful piece. Then we walked into the room that had Millets lovely Angelus, & Cosots & Dance of the Nymphs, and Whesler's Mother. Whister's Mother was in the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p170.jpg) Jude Pon when I was here last. Of course we saw other pictures as we went about. Finally we came on the the Mona Liza by Leonardo de Vinci. We went out had supper at a typical French restaurant where foreigners seldom dine. I saw some very good looking French people in the restaurant. In fact during the day I have seen one very lovely looking Frenchman and a very beautiful French woman. The beef steak and French fried pa[--]es as also the soup ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p171.jpg) was exceptionally good at this restaurant. In the evening John and Bert came over to Bobs and Bessie's apartment. She served ice cream and crumpets. We enjoyed the scene over the Seine River and looking at the lovely French etchings and interesting little things she had picked up at the "Flea Market". The "Flea Market" in Paris seems to be something like the Tandel Market in Vienna. Towards to p.m the Eiffel Tower was illuminated the base was red and green and blue and other colors, something ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p172.jpg) of a rainbow effect. They turned a green light on the upper part of the [--] tower and it looked very lovely. The exposition looks very brilliant at night from Bob's and Bessie's porch. The fountains can be seen gushing forth and changing colors as the streams of blue and purple lights strike them. Then came the fire works. Monday night they to the left of Eifflel tower and for that reson closer, last night they were to the left and not far behind, but they while they were ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p173.jpg) very nice they could not be seen as plainly as those on Monday night. Thursday Aug. 12, 1937 We Bessie and I met Bob at the embassy at noon; and had luncheon in the embassy restaurant. Bob then took me into the chiefs room that had a beautiful blue delph carpet on the floor. Then On our way out we had a drink of ice water from an American ice fountain a thing that at which the French marvel. We then took a boat that ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p174.jpg) A negro let people in and out. Never forgets people been at a number of embassys, like the man in Hotel Utah. looks rather small if you are watching it move up the Seine but which seats an uncommon number of people. We rode until we came to the new Trocedero. The French have pulled down the old Trocedero, which was one of the exhibit building of the 1890 exposition. They say the thought was that it was temporary building but that when they attempted to pull it down it was terrible to move. It is a lovely white building, very decorative, and intended to be bearely permanent. We first visited the Russian Building ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p175.jpg) which has some high powerful figures on top, it is directly opposite the German building, which I can see from Bob's and Bessie's Verana as I write. It has an immense eagle upon it. Bob says the French think it humorous to put the Russians and the Germans opposite each other in that way. We went into the Russian building first. It seemed to be full of Russian propoganda, Lenine and Stallin very much in evidence. There was an automobile with a ford body and some other type ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p176.jpg) of front. Bessie says they the Russians build cars and m[-] mix they [-] them up enough to look odd to the Americans, that is they might mix a buic with something else. Then we went [-] into the Egyptain building. I saw there the most exquisite prayer rug that I have ever seen in my life; it was a lovely green an embrodered with gold. I would like a room with a dark blue carpet with that rug on it. From the Egyptians we went into the Romanian Building. There was an ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p177.jpg) immense statue of King Carol there, looked pondrous. I could not help thinking that they had to make it look important because he really is not important. Then we went into the Hungarian building. There were something that moved there after the fashion of our things at home. American fairs are always presenting processes. European fairs are included to be static and artistic. There was a piece of wood cam carving that struck me as being marvelous. It was an old man ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p178.jpg) facing another man of a different type. The expression on the old man's face was unbelievable. I could never believe that anything man of wood could be made to look so human. Then we sat in front of the Trocedaro and looked down the long stretch. As we came into the exposition, Just as we were about to take the boat to enter the grouds I caught sight of the lovely Alexandrian bridge reflected in a window. I always exclaimed there is my Alexandrians ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p179.jpg) bridge. It was the first time I had seen it since coming to Paris this time. I turned and there it was, as a part of this exposition as it was of the exposition of 1925. It was build as a feature of the 1890 exposition. The French are clever when it comes to such matters. We came home and had dinner together, Bessie and I. Bob was having dinner with a friend. In the evening Mabel Borg Jenkins came in and spent the evening with us and on Bessie's veranda. It was the first time I had ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p180.jpg) had seen Mabel since she left me in Oxford. We arranged that Bob Bessie Mabel and I should see the Oscar Wilde play that the bills say is banned in England. Friday Aug. 13, 1937 Spent the day resting, Bessie went to the hospital and visited Mrs. Elsie Le Font Richards. I wrote letters when I was not on the bed. Bessie returned saying Mrs Richards was progressing nicely. Her husband is Karl Richards a son of Gomer, of the class of 95. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p181.jpg) Saturday Aug 14 At noon ate dinner with Bob at the embassy. Went to a store with Bob called Quartiers Trois Quartiers located directly across from the Church of the Madeline. I bought some Quelk[--] Fleur perfume like Vilate and I bought in gras, some pearls, a doll for Marion, a luncheon set made by the French of natural linen, a small French pitcture and some beads for the children, perhaps Clark and Hal Reynolds little boy. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p182.jpg) In the evening we went to a very little theatre, that is Bessie Bob Neahel Jenkins and I to see a play called Oscar Wilde, written by two Mechlin theatre. The play presented Wilde life first before his imprisonment and then after, in Paris. The man who played the part of Oscar Wilde did it beautifully. Like Sherriffi's "Journey's End" there were no women in the play. It presented a man of very deep artistic temperament surrounded by young men who admired him greatly. Some clever lines in the play Wilde said he knew ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p183.jpg) Meredith Wilson came Saturday night from the Continent. Dickens, he did not know whether his own writings were as good, but said it would talk a heart of stone nt not to laugh at the death of little Nell. He also said every man should be his own Boswell as everyman's biographer is always a Judas. I think he afterwards admitted that all epigrams have their false side as well as their true side. Sunday Aug 15, 1937 Left the house alone for the first time since coming to Paris this time. Took a Bus that left about ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p184.jpg) a block away on the left bank of the seine and went to the Louver. From there I walked to the Nortre Dame Cathedral. There The I met Mabel Jenkins. The chandliers looked brilliant. We listened to an organist that Mabel thinks highly of, play a Bach fuge. We moved our seat and got a place near the altar so that we could see all that was going going on, we were directly in front of the Virgin and child after that suggests the name of the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p185.jpg) cathedral, the Virgin and child under the blue and gold canopy. At noon we left the Cathedral and went to Mabel's pension. I enjoyed the company very much. The table was presided over by a French Madame, with cold blck hair. Her dress was black with a piping of white around a low neck and the sleeves and a band of the same same material about her neck. She led the conversation. They talked about French Art politics and the Catholic Church. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p186.jpg) Across from Mabel and we sat a professor from the University of Minnesota and his wife. They were well acquainted with Andrew Rasmussen and wife. W I went up into Mabel's room and rested, she had picked up some good chocolate candy of which I ate more than I should under the circumstances. Then we went over into the Luxumburg gardens saw some French children dressed very beautifully, as is the wont with French children then I took a ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p187.jpg) taxi and came home. Mrs Mc Murray was here when I got back. Mrs Mc Murray is an American friend of Bessie's and Bobs from Kansas; she is taking vocal lessons here, She was serving Bessie mint tea. I had some of it with some little biscuits. Rested the remainder of the evening. Monday Aug 16, 1937 Went with down to the embassy and ate lunch with Meredith and Bob. After Met and I started for the Flea market. The flea market is a place where second hand things ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p188.jpg) are sold. If I could ca carry it. I saw a Loui fourteenth China cabnet that appealed to me. but n considerable furniture but little else. Bessie and Bob had bought a number of nice things there - some lovely crystal candle sticks - a little vase like Millie's big vases. Lorena Flecter is reported to have purchased a number of nice things. We walked about and I finally purchased a cut glass bottle which I shall use as a water bottle. I came home in a taxi and rested ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p189.jpg) then Mit Bob and I went to see Regeleto at the Paris Opera. A million dollars had been spent on the house m smartening it up. It was all burnished up. It is still the most brilliant opera House in the world. It was crowed. Bob thought it would hold 3000 people. The chandeliers were very lovely. I had a front seat but chan in a gallery that was hight up still there were two above. They had put in elevators, which were fine. It was still glamorous, no illusions. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p190.jpg) The orchestra was magnificent and the two leads very fine. The woman's voice was high and clear. It was a fine experience. I was delighted to see the opera again. When we reached home Mit Bob Bessie and I taked about women's rights. Boys both conservative. Men may not grow more ambitious as they grow older but they grow more tolerant. Mit paid Amy B. some fine complements said she was exceedingly competent at both ends. Tuesday Aug 17, 1937 Bessie and I went to see Mrs David Henderson, son of Dr David Henderson ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p191.jpg) who superintends the L.D.S. hospital, Salt Lake City. She We had chocolate and cakes cheese sandwiches and cakes. Mrs. Henderson is very charming, and her little son David Paulsen is a peach of a child. Two year old. Mrs. Henderson was on the same boat as I was on. She is a beautiful blonde with very lovely blue eyes. When I came home although I took a taxi both ways my knee was hurting, so I went to bed. Did not even get up to see the fireworks at the exposition. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p192.jpg) Wednesday Aug. 18, 1937. I have been down all day nursing my knee; it hurts today. Whether from rhumatism or phlebitis I do not know but it hurts; so here I am on Bessie's couch couch with a hot water bottle on it. Met is visiting the Louver and Bessie has gone to the store to buy a chicken for dinner. Thursday Aug 19 1937 Nursed the knee all day, but it was very much better last evening, although it clicked when I walked very much to ma my amazement. In the evening Mabel Jenkins went together ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p193.jpg) to the Th. des. Champs - Ely'sees Theatre to see a Russian Company play Anna Karenine. It was an exciting and throroughly enjoyable experience throughout. In the first place the drama was highly emotional throughout, a se[--] play, but the Russians like the French play emotional plays in a highly emotional manner. But what interested me in particular about the play was the opportunity it afforded for unusual scenic effects. There was a tea party where men and women took part a scene of fashionable ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p194.jpg) people on bleechers watching a horse race, then a lovely circle in a theatre gilded as would have been royal boxes would have been gilded listening to a grand opera. They were hearing the sixtate from Lucia. Nothing was more enthralling nor more interesting than the costumes. They were ninteeth century at there best, with something unknown to me before that must have been Russian. It was unique and beautiful. I liked it very much. The costumes throughout, many of Anna's were ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p195.jpg) most elaborate and beautiful. The men stood in costumes highly polished. helments had a brilliant Russian Eagle on them. They looked imposing. Two of There was some scarlet on the costume that mixed very beautifully with gold. Two of the women had scarlet dresses with long trains deeply embrodiered with gold. I think it was Anna Karenine who wore a dress of white silk, probably gold buttons down the front then all the rest of the dress including a long train was a green velvet embroidered with ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p196.jpg) gold. It was magnificent. all that the words elaborate and gorgeous combined mean. I have always maintained that the stage was the place for such costumes. Friday Aug. 20, 1937 Mit Wilson left this morning for the United States. He was thrilled for it is now over a year since he left home. He expected to visit his mother Elizabeth and the children at Elizabeth's home in Washington. This is in all probability the last time I shall sit on Bob and Bessie Allen's lovely balcony overlooking ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p197.jpg) the Seine at the city of Paris. One sees the small model of the statue of Liberty just placed on the first brig bridge on the North as one looks down the Seine from Bessie's home. France gave to the United States Liberty its Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World seen in New York harbor. Saturday Aug. 21 In the afternoon went down town with Bessie. First called at the American express office and made reservations on the boat. Bought a little French nosegay, artificial to pin ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p198.jpg) on our coats, one for Bessie, one for Amy B.L and one for me. We met Mrs La Font and went to Rumplemyers and had tea. Rumplemyers is a very exclusive place where people take tea. Before we went in we Mrs Lafont Bessie and I went into a bag shop and selected a lovely white bag evening bag for Vilate Elliott. It is the prettiet prettiest evening bag I think I have ever seen; it is white satin trimed with pearls and gold most exquisite in workmanship and French in atmosphere and every detail. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p199.jpg) In the evening Bob Bessie and I went over to the Exposition. I gr We went in a taxi to the grounds. I got into a wheeled chair the man took me about as the leg had to be cared for I had been having neuritis and Bob and Bessie walked beside We saw the artich archictrerue effe architectural effects of the exposition which are among its most pleasing features, the color fountains were also lovely. There was also some very ingeneous writing on a wall very done with electric lights. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p200.jpg) My leg did not permit me to see the exposition as I should have h liked but what I saw I greatly enjoyed. Aug 22, 1937 Saturday Aug. 21, 1937 Bessie went to the Gar du Nord Station with me. We left Paris about nine. I had a feeling that I should never see Paris again, consequently I said goodbye to the Grand Palaise the Pelut Palaise, the Place da La Concord and the opera on the and the place Vendome on the way ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p201.jpg) down to the opera station. The ride was pleasant through France. Before we got to the Channel we were told it was choppy. Most people think it well not to sail on an empty stomach so I ate as soon as I got on the boat. I soon wished I had not It has always been the same with me I am a good sailor on a calm sea but a very poor one on a choppy sea. I got down in the lounge where people ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p202.jpg) Sunday Aug 22. Amy told me that Dr. Bleakley had been made the new lie when they are sick; but I was sick and I ruined by Navy blue silk blouse that I had just had cleaned in Paris. The traffic was so heavy not only two two trains from Bolongne to Folkstone but also two boats. Instead of reaching London at 5 or near it it was seven o'clock. Some people say there have never been as many foreigners running about London since 1914 others say since 1929. Tourists Tourist offices have been ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p203.jpg) presiding elder. We went to meeting and saw him president Very modest and dignified Amy also spoke. unable to handle the crowd. It was estimated there were 15 hundred crossed Saturday 21. When I took a taxi and was soon at 5 Gordon Square. It looked like home. I brought Amy a box of dates we had bought on the exposition grounds and a nosegay. Monday Aug. 23 24 23 George D. Pyper Amy and I went to Robinson and Clever the great linen firm that owns a factory in Belfast and bought linen. We also went into another store that makes a specialty of ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p204.jpg) beautiful scarfs. It was a lot of fun buying the linen. Brother Pyper is such a dear. In the evening Brother Pyper gave his illustrated lecture to the elders and a number of Saints. Mr William Goudair also came. He seemed to enjoy it greatly and Brother Pyper was in good form. Reginald Brown the young fellow who helped with the make up work at Rochdale was there and seemed to enjoy everything. He told me that he had been baptized at Rochdale ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p205.jpg) Mr. Goodair invited Amy, Brother Brown, Bigham Young the 5th Brother Sorensen assisting with the Star and myself to visit the take tea with him at the Royal Automobile Club on Thursday afternoon at 5:15. Tuesday Aug. 24, 1937 Had a fine visit with Amy B. We have always been congenial. Now we see eye to eye about Edward. I was a little fearful being over her She might pick up the English way of thought but she did not. We lay side by side day after ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p206.jpg) and talked about what Bessie and Bob had said on this to that and the other. During the time I wrote another editorial. It is the I for the "Star." I think I called it The Church As A Socializing Factor. Wednesday Aug. 25, 1937. Amy and I visited and wrote letters I think I wrote some five or six letters as the mail was going out that night, that would catch a boat. Amy also said she thought that Friday would be the day for us to take our trip together ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p207.jpg) to Stratford On Awon and Warwick. Thursday Aug 26, 1937 In the morning I went to Cook's office pur and purchased our tickets for our Warwick Stratford on Avon trip. This I did at the American Express. The next morning Then I went over to Cooks to see if they knew anything of a guide connected with the University of London who conducted tours through literary London. They said they knew nothing of the man. I had made an attempt to trace ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p208.jpg) him first through the University of London, then through the American Express, and finally throught Cook's office but without success. I shall have to ask Elsie Carroll and Stella Rich how they got hold of him. I got home for luncheon t it was so good Gladys Jenkins is a good cook and all the meals have been so tasty at Amys. After luncheon I went and had Mr. Bird the man who dresses hair for our people in that vicinity fix my hair for the tea. It only needed ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p209.jpg) touching up. I wore my grey suit and my danty blue blouse at the tea. There were thirteen people there. First our host Mr William Godair, who looks after his guests just as an expert woman might; Mrs Mummery; the great-grand-daughter of King William the 4th; two other ladies Mr. Richard Goodhall; Mr W.R.H. Trowbridge a writer, who has written a life of Queen Alexandria, Amy Brown Lyman, Brigham Young the Fifth, ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p210.jpg) Parry Sorenson, Amy Katherine Lyman and myself. First Mr G They all talked about their holidays at first. Mr. Goodhall is a newspaper man, and is in touch with the theatres. He said he thought the reason the old guard did not let George Pyper into Drury Lane theatre was because they are rehearsing a play that they don't want the press to get an inkling of until they are ready to make announcements. I think the old guard was stupid just plain stupit. George Pyper ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p211.jpg) only wanted to look about and see if Drury Lane the Salt Lake theatre was patterned after Drury Lane theatre as Uncle James Evans had told him it was. Then Mr. Goodair brought Mr. Trowbridge to sit by me. First we talked about our American writer Trowbridge who lived at Arlington. I told him about Dr Winship's story that Arlington had a wr right to celebrate even if it was only 5 150 years old while ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p212.jpg) most Massachussetts towns waited to be 2 250 or 300 years before they celebrated. The people said Arlington was the home of Cyrus Dallin the Utah sculptor. Then we chatted about "Gone with the Wind", and about The Good Earth and Sons. I told him I had met Pearl Buck, the author, and how lovely she is. He said her style seemed convincing to him and that he though she knew what he was talking about. Then we got talking about the Duke of ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p213.jpg) Windsor; he was in sympathy. I told him as I had told Goodair and others, that I could not understand how England would let go a man so well known and so favorably know. He said he thought he had been treated shamefully. Then Amy came over and we had a good laugh together. Then along came Mr Goodair He quoted said something about Baldwin. Then Trowbridge said, Who is Baldwin? Goodair said he was the prime minister Yes. said Trowbridge ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p214.jpg) One of the things Mr Trowbridge said is that he believes Edwards enemies would have deposed but the Prime minister is not as important as the King. Then Trowbridge said I understand his mother writes to him every day. Goodair said his mother said "She did not wanted him to be King because she knew he could not do the job." Then Goodair talked about his carring state said he was hycocrite because while he pretended so much sympathy for the Welsh miners he dismissed all the help from the palaces. Trowbridge said if there was anyone ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p215.jpg) him & put him in a prison established a regency and he would never have been heard of again. in the world that were a group of good for nothing hangers on it was these people who had been about palaces all their lives. Then Goodair talked about his carrying state papers about in his pocket unsigned; Trowbridge said what he heard was he tried time and again to get the dispatches from the foreign office but the lazy Clerks of course he said clarks would not copy them. By that time Amy ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p216.jpg) and I were just doubled up with laughter. Goodair saw I us laughing so heartily and despite the fact that he was so serious he broke down and laughed with us. It was such fun. Then I went and chatted with one of the ladies; it was not Mrs Mummery, nor the rich lady with two names, but it was a sweet little creature who was saying that she did not believe for a moment that ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p217.jpg) there had been any illicit relations between Edward and Wallace, or he thinks he would not have married her. Then she said she sympathized with Edward because he had wished to marry other woman and his people had objected. Then Goodair talks about the daughter of Lord and lady Cavndish Cavindish, and this woman said that Cavindish said he would not have Edward for a son-in-law. Then Goodair says that was like the Earl of ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p218.jpg) Bucherk; he they wanted that is one of the royal princes wanted to marry his daughter and he said he did not care if they were royal princes, he would not have them in his family. It was a mighty interesting tea. This conversation on the Duke of Windsor began by my saying that there are people who think the economic bond would hold the Empire together were there no King. That was not Mr Trowbridges idea; he said economic conditions change, but ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p219.jpg) it was necessary to have some spiritual symbol and that the King is the spiritual symbol. Friday Aug. 27 Amy and I left the Paddington Station at 8:50 or near that time and reached Leamington Spa at about eleven o'clock. The ride through the country districts was beautiful as it always is. When we left the R.R. train we took a red coach and then went straight to Kenilworth Castle. The A part of the gate house still ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p220.jpg) stands. We visited that and then took a look at the ruins of Kenilworth. We were reminded that that is what happend to Castles when Oliver Cromwell was in power. We were also told that Amy Robshart never saw Kenilworth Castle that she was dead long before Elizabeth Lester at least a number of years before Lester figured in Kenilworth Castle. Elizabeth promised Lester that when he got his Castle fixed up She would visit him. She came and brought with her hundreds of retainers ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p221.jpg) and paid the Earl a good long visit. There was there a portrait of Henry the Eighth. Then we left Kenilworth and went on the Guy's Cliff. Guy's Cliff is on a knoll with a stretch of grass in front and at the edge of the grass a stream that runs a mill that grinds corn. On the cliff is a castle. It is called Gy Guy's Cliff because the given name of all Earls of Warwick is Guy. As we rode along through the beautiful country we came to the estate of Sir Thomas Lucy: the Lucy estate ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p222.jpg) that figures in Shakespear's life. The The young land lord was riding his horse about the estate. Fishes are seen in the coat of arms. They tell us there were no deer on the estate in Shakespear's time, that may be so but there are deer now as we saw one as we passed along. Then we came into Stratford. We visited first Ann Hathaways Cottage, then the Church and noted again for the second time this season the two lovely glass windows given by the Americans. The one ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p223.jpg) an attempt to depict the Seven Ages of Man with Biblical characters, such as the infant with Moses in the bullrushes, and the one in St. Peters Chapel. Then we went to the birthplace. Saw the first folio and quarto editions, of Shakespeare, and were told once more that had Shakespear published his plays during his life time no company would have played them. He did publish Lucrece and Venius Adonis, works not for the stage. After his death his friends published ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p224.jpg) his plays as the "stolen" editions were very bad indeed leaving out many lines at a time. Then his friends such as Ben Johnson made him beautiful and lasting tributes. Amy and I went into a little souvnir shop just opposite the birth place in Stratford. We each got to small broze busts of Shakespeare for which we paid two and three shillings each, she three two and I three as mine was some larger. I also purchase a little white bust like my Venius ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p225.jpg) de Milo at home. We bought a bar of Cadbury chocolate which we ate coming home. When we got home we had a glass of milk each and then went to bed. I got over to the Lucy place too soon in my story so that I must go back and say that after we left Guy's Cliff we went to Warwick, had our attention drawn to the two city gates through which people used to enter when Warwick was a walled city. We ate our dinner at the Porrage Pot. "Porrage ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p226.jpg) Pot," the name given to a restaurant in Warwick which takes its name from a huge black Porrage Pot in the castle in which food was cooked when the castle was full of men. After dinner we went to through the Castle, the second time this summer for me. Amy and I reveled in the lovely entrance as we made our way to the Castle; the painting of Henry the Eighth at Warick Castle is by Holbun. We looked out of the window near the Poridge Pot at Warwick's ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p227.jpg) Avon. Avon is a word meaning river. The big black Clay pot is used now only at the birth of an heir of the house. W Then they fill it with punch. It holds at least 120 gallons of punch. The present little fellow who will some day be Earl of Warwick is was three years three months and fifteen and one half days old the day we visited the Castle. Saturday Aug 28 Amy and I went down to Selfrige's together to shop. I got on a buying ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p228.jpg) spree the first one since I came. I bought a nice black satchel to carry my things home, some stockings and woolen strips. The most expensive thing purchased was a lovely night gown for Ruth Hardy. It cost 30 shillings. It is hand made Ruth was so sweet when I was ill at the house, she gave me her bed and I told her I would bring her home something lovely. We got home around two o'lock, were ready for our dinner which Gladys had already for us. Sunday August 29. Mrs Hinckley came over near four o'clock and ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p229.jpg) we went to Ravensly together. We were early for the evening meeting so we sat in a Park until about ten minutes then went over to the building and had our supper or tea then attended meeting. Brothers Parkingson and Parkinson and a young elder by the name of began with S. spoke. Monday Aug 30 Amy and I went out shopping to see if we could find some snuff bottles for Louise as she is making a collection. We tried Saturday but with no success. But on Saturday when we were rumaging about to try to find some ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p230.jpg) down in the Mew, a place where the stables used to be, a man told us to go to No 46 museum street to a shop kept by a man whose name was Norton. On our wa We started out after lunching, walked from 5 Gordon Square, through the British Museum, to passing the Coronation exhibition, which was very fine out of the front of the building, we entered at the back. to We went directly to Museum Street. My but those bottles were expensive, three pounds four pounds we only found one that sold for a pound two or three mere thirty shillings, ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p231.jpg) so we concluded we we hunt another place. We went to a second hand pawn shop where Amy had bought a broach. We got a little French one of silver and silver gilt which cost 12 shillings. We also got two bottles used for smelling salts, all these thing were 18 century - except the Japanese one, whose age we did not know. The s snuff bottle is French. We went to the Sheffield cutlery place bought nail scissors and and extra box of grape fruit spoons. Tuesday Aug 31. Had a bath then had my hair fixed by that man Bird who makes it look nice, but ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p232.jpg) Tuesday evening the [---] had a party for the Cannons, who had returned with it will not stay. Then we lunched. Early in the day I had been looking over four sketches to be published with John Brown Journal, it was they were brief sketches of himself, and his three wives, Elizabeth Crosby, Amy Snyder and Margaret Zimmerman Amy's mother. After luncheon I went over to Mrs Hinckleys. We went over to the British Museum looked particularly at the Coronation exhibition, the exhibit of Ben Johnson's tercentenary, some noted 19 century books went out the front door as we had entered the back way ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p233.jpg) the Presidents Party. They all spoke so well of Joe, and Maud. Brother Tanner presided. that being close to Molet Street where the new buildings of London University are being built, then came home President Grant, his secretary Brother Anderson, Richard, Lutie Grant Cannon Sister Beesley were all there earlier. Reuben and Lucy Savage Clarke, his wife, had come the day before. Tu Wednesday Sept. 1, 1937 This is the first day of the month. On the 10th leave London and Europe never more to return, I feel. But after all I have spent 2 two years and nine months of my ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p234.jpg) life here such happy and such profitable days. Two years and nine months in four trips. In other words I have been coming to London since 1906 or thirty-three years ago since I first came. Mrs. Hinckley and I went together to the Chesire Cheese the haunt of Samuel Johnson, Oliver Goldsmith James Boswell, and others of that period. We ate some of the pie that they talked off, then looked about. We saw Johnson's dictionary in two volumes, one a copy ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p235.jpg) of the first edition. That was up the little narrow stairs. Then we went down into the wine cellar. I bought a jug. We went into a side part which we could see from where we ate through a wall of glass windows. Johnosn's Goldsmith's Burns Burkes Scotts portraits were there Evidently then as now they did a lot of drinking about. Then we were looking in the second room we saw an ale jug with the Temple Square on it. Salt Lake City, the Temple standing out conspicuously. It would be interesting to know how ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p236.jpg) it got there. Then we went to the London Museum. The taxi driver did not know the way and took us first to the British Museum. The London Museum is a place where many things to do with royalty are there. It is in the Duke of Sutherland's home, which is really a palace. Victoria, Alexandra, and Queen Mary, have there coronation gowns there. The prettiest wedding gown of the group is Victorias. It is beautiful white or perhaps pearl satin, with a flounce ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p237.jpg) in front of lovely Brussells or perhaps dutchess lace. Its simplicity makes it beautiful. The coronation dress of Queen Mary is too elaborate, embrodered with all the symbols of the E kingdom and some of the empire: Englands rose, Scotlands, thistle, Ireland's Shamrock, and it looks as though India and some of the others had gotten it in. One of the interesting things is a clock exhibited in about 1851 at some great English Exhibition, it tells the time as usual then has six other clocks ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p238.jpg) that tell the time in New York, Calcutta, Shangi, and three other places. There is an exceedingly good exhibition of dressed worn the latter part of the 19 century and now in the 20th century. There is a little cradle lined with royal crimson that Queen Victoria used for her babies. There is also the Cradle that Queen Mary used for her children, but the museum has made it a memorial to Edward VIII, Duke of Windsor. During the evening ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p239.jpg) Mrs. Bleakley and her daughter Joyce and her young son called at the mission house. Mrs Bleakley is a very loveable woman, a very charming woman and looks young. Julie Grant Cannon and Clarissa Beesley were in the building holding a meeting with the M. I. A officers. Thursday Sept. 2, 1937 Went with Amy and Lucy Savage Clark to the Tate Gallery. At noon we assembled at the Cheser Cheese. The had This There were 11 guests. President and ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p240.jpg) 240 Mrs Clark Richard and Amy. President Grant and Lutie Grant Cannon Clarissa Beesley Joseph Cannon and wife Mona Wilcox Cannon Alice L Reynolds and Joseph Anderson the president's secretary. Some ate the steak pie others and I was one this time ate roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. We all had plum pie and cheeser cheese at the close of the meal. We had baked potatoes and green beans. After Mona took us to Samuel Johnson's House near that is near the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p241.jpg) 241 Cheeser Cheese. It is a Gorgian House with four floors and a garrett, mounted by the inevitable flights of stairs. The guide was particular enthusiastic quoting many lines from Johnson as she progressed and a goodly number of the definitions he uses in his dictionary. She made it quite clear that Johnson was very tender hearted and that he took care of a number of people who were down and out, grateful or ungrateful. Johnson did his work in the garrett of the house. His wife seemed to be a lovely ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p242.jpg) woman and he seemed to be very fond of her. Friday September 3, 1937 Went out with Lutie and Clarissa and Romona. We went down past the Selfridge store, took another look at it its marvelous decorations and then went to the Wallace Collection. The Wallace Collection is one of the finest in London one of the finest anywhere for that matter. It is one of the most superb fr French collections that I have ever seen. The wonderful French minitures and paintings, Two of the King of Rome exqusite, a Painting of Prudons, ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p243.jpg) An interesting Painting of Queen Victoria, in her Youth done by an American painter. an exquisite Madona with eyes looking into the future as if she wondered what was is in store might be in store for that son of hers. There was some armor with horses in armor. It would be a great mistake to miss the Wallace collection. Then we walked over to the Parliament Buildings saw West Minster Hall where the King's body, George V, lay in state. We walked up and down the Victorian Embankment on the Thames it was a lovely day, the sky clear clouds white. The House of ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p244.jpg) Lords with the tower and Big Ben is a noble piece of architecture and I enjoyed it very much. I stood opposite Big Ben, and looked and looked at it. The Thames and its embankment holds me now as it did at first in its grippe and facinates me greatly. Then I went to a Lyons restaurant and had my dinner, Then I took No 11 Bus down to Saint Paul's Cathedral. and enjoyed it greatly. Saw not only the monuments of Wellington and Nelson in the Cathedral but went down into the crypt and saw where ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p245.jpg) they are actually buried. Saw many others graves. There was a monument to Albert of Belgium, a large wreath on it, and a ribbon attached which said in Frech French His majesty King of Albert of the Belgians. Saw the monument to Sir Joshua Reynolds once more. There are monuments to other English painters. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p246.jpg) Saturday Sept 4, 1937 Went down to the station with Amy Mrs Hinckley to see [---] President Grant off. off also President Grant. The missionary boys were there and sang, as usual, and God be With You until We Meet again. Mrs Hinckley really looked happy to be on her way. After Amy Lyman and Amy Katherine went to Selfriges, I came home as I had been going hard for two days without a rest and now needed a rest. On my way back I met Marie Waldrum and her friend from Idaho a ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p247.jpg) teacher at the Pocaletta Junior College. I went up sairs stairs and rested, then when Amy came home we lay on the bed and rested. The evening before Amy had had, Mrs Cannon, President Grant Miss Beesley Mrs Hinckley and myself at dinner. Amy and I had about our last visit of any length las on Saturday afternoon Sept 4. Sunday Sept 5, 1937 Took a bath res Amy and I got my things together for packing. Amy and I went a way down into the basement and put the first things into the trunk. Then I came up had a bath ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p248.jpg) and about 4 pm 3:30 p.m. we started to Ravensley to attend meeting at the South Branch. We were late for We w Sunday School as it began at 4 o'clock rather than at 4:30 as we believed. Amy Brown Lyman had attended the one held in the building in the morning at 10 a.m with the missionaries. Dr Bleakly presided over the meeting. He is a fine man. We had a lovely meeting. Then we went in and had our supper which the English call tea attended the night meeting where Ramona and Joe Cannon ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p249.jpg) spoke then came home. Monday Sept. 6, 1937 Amy went in the morning to see Horace King and his wife. Mr. King teaches in the University of Michigan and belongs to the class of 95 Richard's class. She brought home a book by Brooks called "English Springs" or something of that sort, in any event a delightful books. She and I lay on the bed together and read all the material in in about Dorset, the Thomas Hardy country. Then she had to go to a meeting for Joe and Mona at the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p250.jpg) North branch. I stayed home continued to read the book. Went through the 100 poems that President Grant gives people, and read those I was not familiar with. There were not more than ten that I did not know well. I am writing the last part of this diary on shipboard, the good old ship Washington. It is just one week to day since these things happened this is Monday 13, an the breakfast bell is ringing, so away goes the fountain pen. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p251.jpg) Tuesday Sept. 7, 1937 Amy Brown Lyman, Mona Wilcox Cannon, Marie Waldrum and I assembled in the lower hall at No 5 Gordon Square. We were going to Dorchester and Brorth Brother Parry, the assistant editor of the "Mellenium Star" was driving us. When we open the door President Clark and Lucy were there in a car with Brother Christensen driving. Amy got into the Clark car, so that when we stared Mona Marie and I were in the car Brother Sorensen was driving. We went first to Salsbury ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p252.jpg) Just before we started on our trip I opened a letter from Harold and Milly that told and visited the Salsbury Cathedral. It is very large with some beautiful windows, but some stupid person had them take out the beautiful windows and put in something that is plain glass decorated a bit and it is such a pity. The main parts of the Cathedral are marked. The nave the chair the altar the chancel and the trancept clearly marked. The cl cloisters are the most largest and most pronounced of any I have seen in England. There is a place called a chapter house I think it is a prayer house. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p253.jpg) of Ethel's death and enclosed the Tribune clipping concerning it. What a relif it is as we would it was circular and had sixty subjects csulptored on its walls, it is a sort of Church were the Monks would meet. Then we went to Stonehenge great massive pillars a temple of the sun a[-]tedating the Druid worship in Great Britain. Done by a people from the Medteranean. It is interesting and connects itself with Tess of the Durbervills. At this point President and Mrs Clark left us. They provided the luncheon we ate in our cars which consisted of a delicious cheese sandwich and a very ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p254.jpg) 55 have it. Harold's letter said she died of Cerebrial Hemmorage. good sausage roll. They drove to Southampton where Lucy Savage's father was born. Our good friend of the Twentieth W. Charles R. Savage. From Stonehenge we went to Dorchester where Thomas Hardy was born lived and died. We visited the haunts of Judge Jeffries the old villain who tracted the people who supported the Duke of Monmouth. When Monmouth lost King James pursued all who had supported Monmouth's cause and put them to death banised them sent them into ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p255.jpg) The home of Hardy, where he died has a beautiful natural surroundings at looks out on a lovely moor abject slavery and did other cruel things. He was a tyrant and a merciless creature who was the cause of terrible suffering. We saw old China Then we about and other antiques such as peweter pewter etc. Then we went out to where Hardy lived and where his wife lies dying at the present. The people of Dorchester do not expect her to recover. From there we drove past the Hardy monument on the highway to his birth place. A sweet modest little place, his father was a carpenter, surrounded by trees and an attractive flower garden. It ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p256.jpg) We were interested in the names of Hotels going to Dorset, one was called The Cat and the is out a distance of perhaps three miles from the city. The people who live there are named Parry. We were impressed by the gentleman and his sweet modest wife. The little boy who was probably eight or nine years old called his mother "mummie." We walked though the modest living room, were in the kitchen a sort of kitchen and dining room combined where the baking is done. We went up stairs saw the room where Thomas Hardy was born, went from that into an adjoining room where his sister Kate told ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p257.jpg) Fiddle, another the White Herd and s[--]tt another the the some animal that was Red Lion. us he used to sit and look out into the garden. The only Thomas Hardy's present wife, who was his secretary has written the standard life of Hardy on two volumes. His Early Life, and his later life. His first wife was somewhat above him in the social reale and according to our host at the birthplace she always made him feel it. Mr Parry did not think him as cynical as some think him. He thinks he was disappointed that there were never any children in the home. When he bought the place for his home ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p258.jpg) he wish to built build it at the highest point so that he could get the view of the surrounding country, but they ran into a Roman House. There must have been a Roman city where Dorchester now stands. We went to a place were they were unearthing a Roman House. We saw the Mosaic on the floor. It was a large house and most interesting with some of the advantages of modern plumbing. The woman in the shop where we got the ginger ale mighty hot with [---] for a cold drink told us that of course Thomas ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p259.jpg) Hardy did seem like a very old man and he was how he went to sleep once when his wife was talking. Wednesday Sept 8, 1937 Amy and I finished the packing. We put my white coat and two dress up dresses and by grey suit in the long box I got from Makoff, fastened with a strap we bought in England. We straped my heavy coat and steamer rug together. Then we took the remaining thing down stairs put in the trunk. We fastened all the labels to them and I finished, practically so ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p260.jpg) packing my two suit cases up stairs and I wall all through packing. It was all so nice. I nice to be through. Then Marie Waldrum and I went to the theatre to see John Gillgood the Shakesp Shakesperian actor who is of the Terry family and made such a hit in New York last winter in Hamlet to see Richard Second. I do not care especially for that play but the setting and the costuming was good and Gilgood is a very fine actor, and it is always pleasing to see things done well. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p261.jpg) Thursday Sept 9, 1937 In the morning I had a nice chat with Richard Amy had started with the Clarks on a trip through Scotland. Richard and I had a nice chat about a number of things we wished to talk about. Later in the day I had my hair shampooed, tried to impress on Mr. Bird the man in London who did it to try to put it in in good shape so that it would not come out at once. Ate the last of Gladys's very good dinners such good [--]ast meat gravy cabbages ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p262.jpg) beats, potatoes and string beans and such delicious brown gravey and ice cream and cake. Between 2 pm and th 3, Jess called for me in her car Batten driving. We went past Regent Park arriving at St. John's Wood Park about ten minutes to three. When I We sat down together and read Harold's letter about Ethel and I gave her the clipping from the Tribune then we read Ted's letter and Polly's letter about Louise. Mrs Roughly came in and we had tea. I recalled Mrs. Roughly ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p263.jpg) from Harrow days. Francis and Jumbo, Bob Loaders wife and young son were supposed to come but the rain kept them away. We had tea. Later Peter Lester and his brother John Lester, Jessies boys who introduce her as their guardian came in. They are fine boys well behaved. I saw Miss Moon Lel's maid in the hall. Later we had dinner. Jess had fish and tartar sauce among other things because she knew I would like it. We had a fine visit and as I left she told me ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p264.jpg) She could not come to the Station as the train left too early for her. She told me to tell Louise she would like a visit from her. Peter rode home with me to S Gordon Square. My trunk & one bag had gone during the day Friday Friday Sept 10. Got up early in the morning took my bath and ate breakfast with Richard. We read over his editorial that had to do with the Coming Forth of the Book of Mormon it being 110 years the 22 of September since it was the plates were given to the propht Joseph Smith. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p265.jpg) Then he called a taxi and Amy Katherine. Gladys Richard and I went to the Waterton Station together. As I felt when riding through Paris to the Gar du Nord I felt that it would be the last ride I should ever have through London. The Cannons and Hugh Brown came later and the boys sang songs at the station, and finally, God Be With You Until We Meet Again, with "Spring Time in the Rockies" and the train pulled out of the Waterloo Station London for Southampton. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p266.jpg) After reaching Southampton we were soon on the boat. When I reached my room there was the loveliest possible bunch of roses. Two dozen beautiful pink buds from cousin Jess. A card wishes me a pleasant journey and a telegram from Bob and Bessie The sea pretty calm, and we are out at sea. Saturday Sept 11, 1936 Calm sea everything lovely We landed at Cobh Ireland today.

They keep improving all the time It is just thirty-one years this summer since I took my first trip, there has been much improvement since then. But the food is always good and plentiful, the waste troubles one. Tuesday Sept 14, 1937 This evening we had the gala dinner.

Then we heard the ships concert.

In the morning I turned the hot water tap and it kept running and running, finally the room stewart came in and told us that when they began shutting off the ships water supply or something or other that they do with the water mains preparatory to landing it often set the water to rimming and running.

The malace of ecclesiastical bigotry has pursued him abroad and political martinets have prevented the bridegroom's family from attending the ceremony, have forbidden the bride to assume a title her marriage bestows, have alienated a brother who is the beneficiary of the duke's devotion, have scratched names from the reception list with a pen of petty spite dipped in the ink of mysterious malevolence, ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F1_p286.jpg) have turned kinsmen into critics and persecutors - all in the names of Christ and the crown of the British empire.

I know no other piece of modern English prose or poetry in which there is so much told, as in these lines, of the Renaissance spirit - its worldliness, inconsistency, pride t hypocrisy, ignorance of itself, love of art, of luxury and of good Latin.

The book of Psalms sometimes called the Psalter was the hymnbook of the Second Temple. Collections of psalms were made at different times, but it was not until very late that the psalter was completed and arranged as we now have it. Very few of the psalms were written before the time of the exile. A few were composed during that period, but almost all were ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F2_p028.jpg) after the return. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F2_p029.jpg) Quoted from Emmerson concerning Cardinal Newman. "Who could resist the charm of that spiritual apparition, gliding in the dim afternoon light through the isles of St Marys, rising into the pulpit, and then in the most entrancing of voices, breaking the silence with words and thoughts which were a religious music - subtle, sweet mournful. I seem to hear him still saying: After the fever of life, ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F2_p030.jpg) after weariness and sickness, fightings and despondings, languor and fretfulness, struggling and succeeding. After all the changes and chances of this troubled unhealthy state, - at length comes death, at length the white throne of God, at length length the beatific vision." ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F2_p031.jpg) Taken from Lewis Browne's book "How Odd of God." "Whether the handicaps of the Jews are real or imaginary says Lewis Browne: "they goad us into exerting our intellects." We learn almost in the cradle that Jews must think twice as fast as Gentiles to get half as far in the world. We see that we must be ever vigilant to seize any stray opportunity and be unflaggingly energetic to exploit it to the full. Moreover, ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F2_p032.jpg) we learn that we dare not make mistakes, for if we do they are not forgiven us. Years ago, Professor Einstein bitterly remarked in an address at the Sorbonne: If my theory of relativity is proven true, then in Germany I shall be hailed as a German, and in France as a citizen of the world. But if it is proven false, then in France I shall be called a German, and in Germany a Jew" Professor Danes and Hughes writing in the British ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F2_p033.jpg) Journal of Psychology in 1927 declared that careful psy- chometric investigation revealed the Jewish sh school children in England as conspiciously superior to the non Jewish. A similar investigation made among the students of Columbia University by Professor H.E. Garrett in 1928, yielded a similar finding. Again when Professor Lewis M Terman, the foremost American authority on ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F2_p034.jpg) measurement of intelligence sought out the thousand most gifted in the state of California to furnish data for his renowned "Genetic Studies" in genius, he found that there were twice as many Jewish children among them as there proportion in the general population warrant warranted. Even in India according to the school reports I gathered there, the children of the native Bene - Israel show a distinct mental ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F2_p035.jpg) superiority to those of the Hindus." The Psalms are among the most popular pa as well as the most beautiful parts of the Bible. They are appropriate for many occassions. Read frequently at International Conferences where people are of many faiths and religious creeds. Gray, professor of English at Stanford University, and author of the book "Selections ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F2_p036.jpg) from Old Testament Literature" classifys the psalms under the following headings Personal Psalms. National Psalms Psalms to the Majesty and Glory of God. A Liturgical Psalm. The book of psalms was the hymn book of the second temple. Psalms of Asaph Psalms of the Sons of Korah. Psalms of Ascents and Psalms of David.

An elephant begins in an interesting way: wrinkled trunk, screwy eyes, moth-eaten ears. So does "Anthony Adverse:" innocent girl-wife dashing cavalier, orgish husband. Ye ardent bee gleefully runs his probascis into ye trembling flower: discovery follows; whereupon ye ogre gleefully runs ye cavalier thru ye guts. This is romance - with all the tang of stale ginge-ale. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F2_p038.jpg) From his neck to his backside, the elephant is nothing but size, and moves slowly but with C Cyclopean thumps. So is, and does "Anthony Adverse." Our hero is a broz bronze boy with a heart of gold, thump, who rides with good fortune over the prostrate bodies of his fellow-men thump (and women, thump thump) Then his luck changes; he becomes a millionaire. During a brief dissertation on the financial history of Europe, he tags tags around with Napoleon, Talleyrand, and an all-star cast. Thump. Suddenly he ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F2_p039.jpg) turns humanitarian: in New Orleans he ships oodles of impounded silver to France, so that Napoleon can go right on killing people. Thump. Also there are some very ne plus ultra descriptions of sexual experiences - but so beautifully written, my dear! There is fun for the kiddies too - a coach falls over a cliff. Thump. If I were an aesthete, which thank God I am not, I would remind you that an elephant's tale tail is funny because it is disproportionately short. So is the end of "Anthony Adverse:" his moral salvation has to be squeesed in like the last sardine in a ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F2_p040.jpg) can. Of course the poor boys house burns down with his wf wife and child, but this might have happened to anybody, whether he needed chastisement or not. And after being purged by a plunge into primitivism a la Connie Morgan, he just happens to run across a replacement for the afore- said wife incinerated. If I were a critic, which I again thank God I am not, I would be tempted to say that "Anthony Adverse" lacks aesthetic proportion. But hell - so does an elephant. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F2_p041.jpg) News Paper Comments on Annie Pike Greenwood's book - "We Sagebrush Folks." We Sagebrush Folks by Annie Pike Greenwood.

I arose from sleep, and went out of the city as soon as the gates were opened, crossed the brook Cedron, and went upon the Mount of Olives, and there, in solemn silence with pen, ink, and paper, just as I saw in the vision, offered up the following prayer to him who lives for ever and ever:- "O Thou! who art from everlasting to everlasting, eternally and unchangeably the same, even the God who rules in the heavens above, and controls the destinies of men on the earth, wilt Thou condescend through thine infinite goodness and royal favor favour to listen to the prayer of thy Servant servant which he this ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F2_p052.jpg) day offers up unto thee in the name of thy holy child Jesus, upon this land where the Sun of Righteousness sat in blood, and thine anointed one expired.

When her two oldest sons and her two oldest daughters were scrubbed and washed for Church, my mother always gave us parting instructions; "Don't lose your handkerchiefs, come straight home, Joe and let Joe or Fred sit in the aisle seat. No girl could have the aisle seat. It was for the men. If not the brothers, the papas got it. "Don't be strong-minded darlings, whatever you are!" my mother would say in dismayed contemplation of the frozen females who were beg- inning to fight for their rights. Be weakminded, be tearful, be helpless and dependent, said the mothers of that day. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F2_p058.jpg) This glimpse of yesterday's helpless girls is a preamble to my comment on the fact that there are no women geniuses. No woman ever painted a great picture. No woman ever composed even an average opera. No woman ever wrote any considerable musical composition of any sort. No woman ever wrote an immortal book, play poem. No woman ever made any important contribution to science, unless it was very recently, and that in con- junction with a husband similary interested. Those who point out these facts tell us that the old plea of her subjection to male domination does not wholly ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F2_p059.jpg) account for woman's ineffectualness. But I think they underestimate the accumulating weight of injustices down through the ages. To be enslaved, ignored, punished, unrewarded, scorned, belittled even for a few days, has a fearful effect even on a child. Thus heated, it may never rise to normal free development again. Why is this not true in a much wider and deeper sense of the sex that under all tribal laws and in all civilizations has been stamped as inferior? Forty years ago half the English novels dealt with the strange law of primogeniture. Sisters were born - three, seven, ten of them - to be increasingly reproached and scorned; if ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F2_p060.jpg) milord's family was to continue to possess the great fortune, there must be a boy! One m may easily gather that the courage, individuality, talents of the girls were not likely to flourish in that atsmophere. In a great part of Southern Europe today no woman may control her own property, although she is an heiress and her husband a beggar; no woman has legal claim on her child; no woman may bring a lawsuit under any condition, or cast a vote concerning property even though she owns it. In Europe today there are nations whose men strike, beat, abuse their women as a matter of course. There are nations whose men ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F2_p061.jpg) ride placidly on donkey backs, the women, carrying heavy loads on their heads, and often further burdened by approaching mother- hood, plodding wearily behind. In several states women are supposedly disgraced by child- bearing; they must creep away to barns and hedges, must be purified by religious rites after- ward. In several South American countries, a young wife is not allowed to speak in public for the first year. These instances are not far from the Orient; they are actual con- ditions controlling women of Christian nations. Centuries of this sort of thing, and much worse worse, have ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F2_p062.jpg) not lended to develop initiative, courage, originality, independence in the female. More than half the women in the world today are living living under the old restrictions of the Middle Ages and the Harem. harem. Women who have achieved fame have almost without exception been women whose lives morals, and policies men heartily disapproved. From the history-making immoralities of Cleopatra, Mary Stewart, Elizabeth, Catherine of Russia, George Eliot, and George Saud, down to the more moderate acts of Christina of Sweden, Anne of England, Mine de Maintennore, Mine de Staël, Isabela of Spain. Napoleon's Josephine, and Maria Thressa of Austria. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F2_p063.jpg) their stories are stories of long wars against ministers, critics moralists, conventions. As for Joan of Arc, leading men, judged by men, burned alive by men, raised by men to sainthood, now a fresh generation of men is attempting to prove that she was not a woman at all. One reason women gave the other sex the lead is physiological. For the greater part of their lives the women of yesterday were ill. Not only were they subjected to the physical tides that are matched by definite mental and spiritual reactions, but the conditions in which they lived, the burdens of child bearing before the young body had reached maturity and ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F2_p064.jpg) before anesthetics and sanitary care had made it comparatively safe had the effect of still further crippling the sex that was already crippled by laws and customs. Given this much start, the exultant male naturally came to his own conclusions about a "weaker sex." But as a matter of simple biological truth women never have been the weaker sex; women never stayed out of wars, feuds and vendettas, crusades and piracy and inquisitions, because they had not strenght to face face them! They kept away because they saw from the very beginning how stupid, wasteful, expensive ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F2_p065.jpg) and ridiculous all these things were; and today men - because of women's guidance - are beginning to see them that way, too. Let us take accout of those fields where women have shown themselves great. They have been great actresses, great singers and dancers; above all they have been great rulers. Under Catherine of Russia, Anne, Elizabeth, Victoria, nations have had there most prosperous days. Industry and husbandry, clinics and hospitals, shelters and schools all flourished under women rulers. Florence Nightingale did no more for today's soldiers than Elizabeth Fry did for the prisoners of all time, and Elizabeth Barrett ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F2_p066.jpg) for the children that might have been in our mines and are not there. Asking themselves surprisedly, "Why are men fools?" m women were awakening even the era of these women. Mary Shelley, Frances Willard, Emmeline Pankhurst, Sarah Hale, Harriet Stowe the story of their varied lives says but one thing: Why? Why slums and hunger and wars and prisons and slavery and drink? Most men never picture a world free from wars, poverty, slums, sweatshops, hunger and politics. But until these are gone, no woman will go in seriously for art. What men ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F2_p067.jpg) call masterpieces are not always important to women. To women who love children first of all, pictures, music, books, religious and national quarrels - all the things of which men have made the world - are less important than the humble creation of comfort where want and suffering have been, the putting of food before the hungry, the sheltering of a child's head under a shawl, men like music music, bands, and uniforms, flags, phrases like "debt of honor" for gambling bitts. Women are more practical. Mere pictures do not satisfy them in a world so bitterly in need of real food nursing, shelter, nursing cooking. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F2_p068.jpg) These things are woman's present form of self-expression. They seem urgent, all-absorbing to her. Women applaud Amelia Earhart and Edna Millay, but their passionate admiration is reserved for Jane Addams, and Catherine Booth. Our sex need not reproach itself if for those biological moments that are the next few centuries it finds something else with which to occupy its recently enfranchised powers. So, if there are no women geniuses, it is because we are not ready to compete just yet. But women are advancing ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F2_p069.jpg) toward the point where they will capture the last citabe citadel, meanwhile it is good to be old enough to contrast the position of the sex thirty-five years ago with that of the sex today. It is good to remember one's self as an office y clerk in 1900, dragging long skirts in muddy streets, chocked with a high stock, born in a times when there were no votes, no gyms, no health, no sensible clothing for women, when her salary was one-third of a man's, and a brother had to take her to the office in the morning all call for her at night lest she ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F2_p070.jpg) be attacked by wandering swains.

Rachel Crothers is probably the best known of all the contemporary women dramatists of either England or America. Merely as a craftsman, a master of neat and dextrous workman- ship in playmaking, scarcely any contemporary dramatist writing in English, either man or woman is her superior. She builds her plays so cleverly around an idea, her intention is so definite and her aim so sure, that the result is usually a beautifully contrived product which admirably fulfils its purpose. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F2_p080.jpg) Although her twenty-two plays are very unequal in merit, as is the case with all prolific dramatists, and some are of small importance, very few have failed on the stage, and several of them such as Mary the Third, were not only highly successful but are among the best American plays of their kind.

Among the Greeks she was designated as "The Poetess" just as Homer was called "The Poet." Her home (sixth century B.C.) was in the Aeolian Island of Lesbos, famed for its charm of nature and its greatness in art and for the cultivation of its people. The Greeks always regarded the poems of Sappho as the standard of perfection. Her melodious voice and the translucent quality of her ideas and the expression of them made her unquestionably the greatest woman poet the world has known. Professor Jebb writes: "The fragments of her poems are unique, both for their wonderful melody and for the intensity of passion ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F2_p154.jpg) which the musical words express" Most of the nine books of Sappho's poems are lost. One or two poems and several fragments are quoted by ancient writers; other fragments have recently been found buried in the sands of Egypt. All these fragments have been assembled with scrupulous care. Many English translations have been attempted. Note the poetic quality of the prose renderings that follow. These have been done by H.T. Wharton, with the exception of the first, which is a translation by J.W. Mackail. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F2_p155.jpg) 91 Swen O Nielson, 82 prominent sheep man and rancher who moved to Provo from June 10, 1936 92 Joh John Johnson 87, an ox-team pioneer and life long resident of Lake View and Provo, died at 1:30, June 10, 1936. 93 Swen L Swenson, 73, patriarch of the Timpanogos Stake, husband of Susie Brown Swenson.

How appropriate that the place where democracy's great pioneer first saw the light should now be made the stronghold of the democracy of the world, the capital of the league of nations! Byron says thus: Lake Leman woos me with its crystal face, The mirror where the stars and mountains view The stillness of their aspect in each trace Its clear depth yields of their fair height and hue. There, in a moment, we may plunge our years In fatal penitence, and in the blight Of our own soul, turn all our blood to tears And color things to come with hues of night. By the blue rushing of the arrowy Rhone, Or the pure bosom of its nursing lake. Here the self-torturing sophist, wild Rousseau, The apostle of affliction, he who threw Enchantment over passion, and from woe Wrung overwhelming eloquence, first drew The breath which made him wretched. For then he was inspired, and from him came, As from the Pythian's mystic cave of yore, Those oracles which set the world in flame, Nor ceased to burn till kingdoms were no more.

It was the age of Wordsworth and his contempories. What is meant by literary fashion? It has a likeness to all social and political changes. A literary change is like all other changes of fashion in some ways. A change in politics or manners leaves the past behind annuls it. A change of fashion in literature or painting does not annul what is left behind. It annuls the old fahsion as a dominant force but doesnt kill it alb altogether, (Illust) The difference between a Wordsworth and Pope did not mean the extinction of Pope. Old fashions of art are all still still alive in a sense to people of intelligence. We never can tell when an old fashion may reassert its influence on the present age. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p008.jpg) Shelley - Dowden Life of Shelley Hogg. Man and Poet Felix Rable. Poets & Poetry of the Century Miles. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p009.jpg) The history of literature, therefore, is much more complex than ordinary political history. History of literature besides being a history of change is also a history of things that do not change. In ordinary political history, we find the difficulty of reconciling history and biography in the lives of great men. The great man in any art is sometimes more than the school that he founds, something more than is represented by the results of his work. This is true also of a political man, a soldier (Cromwell is more than the results of Cromwell in the History of England.) But the importance of Cromwell is only to be gathered from historical records and speeches. The difference in kind between the history of Cromwell and the history of Shakespeare is that the works and days of Cromwell have to be recovered laboriously ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p011.jpg) as by Carlyle) while the works of Shakespeare are quite out of all comparison with the the work of reconstructing his life and personal character. History of literature would be simple, if it were merely a history of changes in the customs of the age. That sort of history does not give the work of the men of genius. Poems of Wordsworth and other authors oftentimes have an individual value. Value of Wordswort's poetry is not in the common Wordsworthian temper, but in itself. History of literature there is an attempt to describe in general terms, what is particular and individual Nevertheless the contradictions involved in literary history, while in one way insoluble, yet do not prevent a study of general tendencies. It is valuable to find out the things that are common to all at the same time. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p012.jpg) The Age of Wordsworth pub. by Bell.

There was a general change of taste in literature in favor of what used to be called Romance. The 18th Cent was conscious of itself as an ago age of reason. Great intellectual work of the 18 Cent. was the completion of the revival of learning "by pushing things in the form of Romanticism. Voltaire was as far as possible into Rationalism. Voltaire was representative man of the 18 Cent. That reason is hostile to poetry and imagination is an opinion that might be debated. In the 18 Cent itself the difference was felt. The difference was expressed in Hands Le Heines Letters on Chivalry and Romance 1762) in speaking of the change in that era.

The appetite for romance was a very strong motive in making a change in taste and fashion. The great change in the age of the 19th century points preceeded by attempts to feel imaginations on wonderful adventures, magic and the material fairy stories. In the 18th century stories, we see a predominence of reason, the absence of the fairy element. But there was a great deal of underground romance in the 18 Cent. For one thing, the old romances. (Sir Philip Sidney's Arcadia etc) were commonly read in the 18 Cent. and the literature of the middle ages was commonly read by children. The Arabian Nights were very popular. They had been translated into French at the beginning of the 18 Century. There was a good deal of trashy romance which has disappeared. That absurd Eastern school of which ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p017.jpg) Goldsmith made fun had something to do with Mac Pherson's Ossian. Germany helped English 18th Century tendency to romance for Germany was undergoing the same reaction againt against rationalism. German influence was recorded in various places, best of all in Miss Austin's Northanger Abbey. "Tales of Terror and tales of Wonder Ed. by Matt. Gregory Lewis show desire for romance (Scott conributed) It has a dull mechanical treatment of romantic material. Effect of this general tendency upon the great authors was various but considerable upon all of them. Wordsworth confesses it in The Prelude. He lead the romantic tendencies. Lecture II The chag change in fashion did not come from the great authors. The nature of the change was determined by them. The change came about before they began to write. They were subject to the fashion ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p018.jpg) "Peele Castle" has the lines. The light that never was on sea or land, The consecration and the poet's dream ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p019.jpg) before they took command of it. Much was made of the historical blackground, of antiquarian local color of foreign "local color." applied metaphorically to literature. All this would have prevailed without the great authors. The romances of Mrs Radcliff were published about this time. Stevensen says that the difference between Fielding and Scott. Scott introduced the background into fiction, but the change had really been made before him, it had been attempted by Mrs. Radcliff. In a way, it had been used by Horace Walpole in his Castle of Ortranto and by others. Mrs Radcliff was the most successful romance at the end of the 18th Century. The 18 Cent. interest in the picturesque is apparent. Taste for the beauties of nature comes again in Mrs Radcliff. Sensibility is another quality in Mrs R. The change of fashion from the Romantic consisted in the change ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p021.jpg) of field of literature and the increase in extreme appliances, the use of a variety of subjects, history, travel etc. 2. A change of sentiment, a greater play of emotion and intensive change in quality and degree. A heightening and intensifying of the emotional. In the 18 Cent. owing to the influence of Rousseau there was an increase in this kind of literature. This was a rebellion against the 18 Cent cannons of style. Partly through the influence of this fashion of sensibility, the great authors are free to express themselves. Colridge Scott and Byron are not ashamed to be effusive. Jane Austin's ideas on literat literary criticism are of interest. Her two two earliest novels Northanger Abbey and Sense and Sensibility show two of the main tendencies of the time, humorously satirically satirized. Northanger Abbey was written 1798 (The year of Lyrical Abbey ) ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p023.jpg) a sort of Don Quixote ie. the use of the plan in English in regard to different classes of fiction. Third Lecture. Something may be learned of this mechanical romance from the early novels of Balzac. While this demand might be satisfied to some extent by poor writers there was another demand that could only be satisfied by a new genius. The change in poetical fashion is very closely connected with the change in fiction. There was an impulse in the poetry which cannot be explained and described by the romantic school of fiction of the time. It was much freer more free and more subtle and affected only people of understanding, poets and their intelligent readers. This poetic revolution is sometimes described as a rebellion against Pope. But Pope was a representative of the old school - for the new movement was only ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p024.jpg) History of Poetic Diction Mr. Raleigh's notes on Milton Wordsworth's Preface Second Edition 2nd series Lyrical Ballads in 1800 Manley's Work gives ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p025.jpg) occasionally or accidentally against Pope. The new movement was in the broadest sense a movement for freedom. The subject matter of poetry had been too much restricted. The freedom sought was not only a larger variety of subjects but a freedom of expression. The utterance of poetry had come to be too pompous. The manifester of the new order is Wordsworth. In the preface of the 2nd Edition 2nd series of Lyrical Ballads in 1800 In this Wordsworth attacks the poetic diction of the 18 Cent. Wordsworth's theory is often difficult to understand. This poetic diction is an attempt to express ideas in a way different from ordinary prose. In Homer there is poetic diction in Chaucer there are many examples. Mass Omipotent is a type of poetic diction. Splendid words like omnipotent and its kindred may be used simply for decoration, and because they were so used in the 18 Cent. they were found ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p027.jpg) offensive. In Pope's most famous poems - in the fashioned heroine - The spiritual Quixote is found in the Methodists The spiritual Quixote of the time is found in the Methodists in the preaching of Wesley and Whitfield. Scott was not the original inventor and Colrig Colridge in his ancient Mariner was falling in with a taste for the super- natural. Many of the stories in Lewise's Tales of Terror and Tales of Wonder are rubbish. They are made up of an easy mechanical combination. There are a few of importance. An obvious thing is the dependance upon each other grimace in the book. It is interesting to see the dependence upon each other at this time. The Germans depend in a Romantic way upon the English. German translated into English Ballads came to have a similar effect upon English. The most amazing thing in this Romantic ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p029.jpg) matter is the confession of the variety of it all. It is burlesqued and satarized during its own vogue. The language of the satires are as plain as Wordsworth, nearer to Wordsorth's own. In Pope's Homer we find a great difference varying between the right & proper & the improper use of dignified words. The author whom Wordsworth probably bad in had in mind in his preface was Darwin. There were other authors who made a pharaphrasing use of poetic diction. A quick and lively mind a command of verse and a large vocabulary were needed for this work. The heoric couplet as used by Popes imatators was found montanous, long before the end of the century. The couplet with its limited mu number of variations was used by Darwin with out any scruple. Pope could not do this sort of thing excellently, but his real poetic energy was close to the life of his own time ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p031.jpg) and he rendered in unadorned diction. It was against this old form that Words- worth protested. He did not want as he said prosaic language for poetry but he wanted freedom and to get away from the stiffening influence of the time - but he needed as splendid a vocabulary as the ornamental poets he was attacking. He saw this later himself. This preface of Wordsworths was not the first stroke in the revolution. Pope himself in his essay on criticism ridicules the style of the conventional poets. The descriptive passages of landscape of Cowper in a Winter Walk at Morning and a Winter Walk at Noon" are significant. Although he made use of poetic diction in some poems. In Wordsworth's earlier poems we still find him under the influence of the old school. Cowper did not interrupt his lines by gaudy epithets. Cowper's pow poetry ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p032.jpg) Dowden with loud huzzas expresses a line used by Wordsworth in an earlier poem Taken from Gilispie who had adopted it from Burns. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p033.jpg) was diaphoneous in this way. It conveyed pleasant things to the mind without calling attention to the vehicle. There was another sort of poetry. His stiffened 18 Cent poetry was something like bad colored glass. Like a bad color interposed between the ideas instead of refining it. Burns had a very great effect in England. It is a mistake to suppose it was merely national. The people who appreciated him most were the English His directness and his power of explaining things without the use of a conventional literary vocabulary were important. Oct 18.10 That preface of 1800 can be interpeted in different ways. It showed his desire for a new practical expression. Wordsworth is not to be interpreted as a poet of the beauties of nature, of simple life, of undistinguished humanity. None of these separate things is the leading ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p035.jpg) motive. The difficulty with Wordsworth is that he can be interpreted in so many different ways. The study and appreciation of nature was common to his time. This pictorial interest was expressed in Gilispie whom Wordsworth read. As a rule Gilispie kept literature and appreciation of nature separate. Wordsworth was pleased with the particulars of nature. Wordsworth is not merely a poet of common life although he is so described but this belief in the dignity of common life may be held by many people in all sorts of ways. Neither can he be described as a physolophical poet although he meant and wanted to be. The excursion is one of a great physo philosophic whole which he had planned. His philosophy was never completed. The real understanding and appreciation of Wordsworth's genius as a poet comes when we see that he has a passionate desire of reality and of the expression of reality. It is this that ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p037.jpg) makes his quarrel with poetic diction. The Wordsworth genius and inspiration have a peculiar fitness in connection with Wordsworth. He has best described his life in Tintern Abbey. and in the Prelude. He brings out that his Worship of nature was at first as a natural thing, which became later meditative and reflective and lost much of its first force. Interesting to compare the story of Wordsworths youth in the Prelude (Written when he is master of his Style) with the earlier poems of interest. Study of the picturesque was one of Wordsworths half sucessful experiments. The treatment of common life which led to the Idiot Boy Goody Blake was also an agreement with some of the 18 Cent ideas. Of all the imperfect descriptions of Wordsworth this is the most satisfactory "A poet who saw the practical value of common things ordinary passages of experience But this does not give the individuality ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p038.jpg) Sestina Kipling look up the end words.

It is a peculiarity of Wordsworth's genius that everywhere, in all his experiences which is the source of poetry his poetry, he sees and experiences things in a keener way from other men. He is too often spoken of as a contemplative poet. Stephenson also dwells too much on the austerity of Wordsworth. The poet was misjudged partly through his own fault and partly through the suppression of the prelude all his life. Wordsworth's boyhood was filled with ordinary boyish adventures, then the adventurous war in 1870 1790 from Calais over the Alps into Italy. This brought him in contact with the French Revolution in its best hour. The fire of his youth increases in strength. This is shown later in his prose, when he wrote the Convention of Cintra." He gives a glorification of human passion. He thinks that it transends its object. This belief in human nature is more characteristic in him ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p040.jpg) Read Stepping Westward & a Highland Reaper.

The landscape is of value because it is living the common life, because it is full of energy. October 20. The value of Wordsworth's philosophy can not be separated from the poetic expression of it best seen in Tintern Abbey. They may easily become a dead formal thing a mere hypocricy. You can not appreciate Wordsworth if you keep to his philosophy. Dorothy Wordsworth's journal of the tour in Scotland in 1803 is the best introduction to Wordsworth. At this time W. had made some progress in poetical studies. The Scotch studies show Wordsworth's native style. It In them his style is at its best. It Stepping Westward the poet finds the soul of the passing moment.

In the lines about the cuckoo in the H.R. he is giving the essence of the old mythological imagan imagination about the renewing of the world. Mr. Sunburne's description of Wordsworth's poetic style and command of verse is worth our attention. L.B. of 1879 1798 contain most of Wordsworth's original examples of style. In 1800 there are many novelties. The "Brothers" and Michael are the great additions to the volume of 1800. They are blank verse Idylls. In the two volumes of 1807 his practice became much more regardless of the theory of diction. Wordsworth did not read a great deal. Did read considerably when he was young but did not care to read. In Vol. of 1803 we find some old stanza forms interestingly copied. The appearance of the sonnett in 1807 reached a difference between that and the earlier volume.

It In his earlier poems evening walk ect. he used it in the old fashioned way. In the "Happy Warrior, he used it in a free eloquent fashion. The courage of Wordsworth was recognized by many of his contempories. The sonnetts in praise of liberty show the recovery from the trial between his political idel idealism and English patriotism, which his sympathy with France had caused him to feel. Wordsworth found that the liberty he sought was to be gained by siding with England in the great war against Napoleon. The sonnetts prove this. Shelley and some of the younger men had attached him as a lost leader. The sonnetts are his reply. Oct 25 1910. This book is very nearly perfection in a certain line. Some remarkable essays on Colridge. Colridge ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p047.jpg) wrote an account of himself in the Biographia Literiria is what one comes back to. Life of Charles Lamb and his corespondance includes much of Colridges life. The friend- ship of Wordsworth and Colridge gives us one of the pleasantest passages in literary history. Colridge was a great mystifier and to not always to be trusted in telling stories. The alliance betwen Wordsworth and Colrig Colridge to one of the most interesting things in literary history. It shows the difficulty of finding learning between the lives of the poets and the spirit of the age. The work of Colridge & Wordsworth have so much in common, that one might think the soul of the world is speaking f through them. The value of Colrig Colridge and Wordsworth can not be gven in the philosophical meditations which they shared. The value of them is in their differences in ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p048.jpg) Letters of Chas Lamb give splendid glimpses of Colridge. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p049.jpg) their works. The preaching of Colridge was from different texts. He had the bent for philosophy in a way that Wordsworth never had. He was a metaphysician. He had the discoursive as well as the speculative habit. The preaching of Colridge differes from the preaching of Wordsworth in the Prelude and Excursion. Wordsworth's meditation has always something strong and definite at the base of it. Colridges are much more ordinary and that takes a good deal of value from his philosophical poetry. His poetic genius is more separated from his reflective writings than Wordsworths. He made an interesting experiment in imaginative criticism when he wrote the prose paraphrase of the ancient mariner Wordsworth and Colridge came to be acquainted throught poetry. Wordsworth was 27 and Col. was 25. Both had undergone some stress in political matters. Colridge had not been in the heat of a political storm as Wordsworth had but ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p051.jpg) he had had his own excitements. The passion for reforming the wol world which they shared in their youth was shared by Shelley later. Wordsworth and Colridge tried to divide the universe between them. Wordswoth was to give a romantic touch to common things and C. to take Romantic things and give them an air of reality. This their serious role began with a sort of game. The Ancient Mariner has an artificial quaintness in its imitation of old spelling. As the Ancient Mariner was originally written it reminds me one of the "Tales of Wonder and Terror." The office of all poetry for Wordsworth was to transmute natural things into wonder. Colridge succeeded absolutely in his aim in the Ancient Mariner, but it is not necessary for the life of poetry that this sort of poetry should be written It is necessary that Wordswoth's kind should be written. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p052.jpg) Introduction to Hutchinsons Sterlings.

There is a good deal of supernatural and romantic art which is simply successful because it keeps rather far away from reality. A human interest is sometimes in some kinds of art unnecessary. Illustration Keats Bell Dame San Merci. Tennyson takes up the story of Elaine, twice ie in the Idyl and in the Lady of Shalotte. The latter is the more beautiful for a similar reason. The Ancient Mariner is one of the most successful things in all romance. Strange arguments have been raised and many misunderstandings felt about this poem. Even Wordsworth missed the point in his criticism. The poem that most fully comes up to the ideal of poetry, the quintesence of poetry according to Poe is Colridge's Kubla Kahn. Cristabel might be thought of as a poem that fails as it departs from this ideal. It was written ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p055.jpg) about the same time as the Ancient Mariner and Kubla Kahn. It was not published until long afterwards and was never finished. It had a great effect upon other poets Long before it was published From a recitation Scott obtained the music for the Lay of the Last Ministrel. It is a romance with a midiaeval setting. In some ways it may be associated with the mere mechanical romances but this ought not to be allowed to interfer with the effect. However, it has other defects. It does not contain the logic and serious thought found in the Ancient Mariner. While the poem does give the idea of mingled terror and beauty it brings in some interests which are confusing and distracting In the Ancient Mariner the different elements are perfectly fussed fussed. In Cristabel they are not. It is because the poems above mentioned will stand the scrutiny of the mere ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p056.jpg) Prof. Ker has quoted the best passages of Criticism he knows on Scott in Chambers Encyclopedia. Compare Ancient Mariner & Christabel with Lay of Last Minstrel Marmion & the others. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p057.jpg) understanding, we are obliged to remember that Cristabel does not fulfil all the conditions. The Ancient Mariner is perhaps the greatest poetical result of Percy's reliquies of Ancient Poetry. Colridge & Wordswoth both lived in the long lived rhyming period. Colridge's blank verse usually sufferes in comparison with Wordswoths because of his fondness for preaching and discourse, but there are some fine examples. Nov. 8, 1910 There is a likeness in romantic manner between the poems of Colridge and Scott. Scott heard the poem Christabel repeated and used the metrical form in the Lay of the Last Minstrel. In Colridges romantic stories the mind of the personages is most important. In Scott the narrative is the most important. The meaning of the poem the Ancient Mariner is the changes of pain and pleasure in the soul of the Mariner. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p059.jpg) Scott's poetry is inferior to the Ancient Mariner Kubla Kahn but it is popular for it gives the effect that almost anyone can appreciate and understand. It is easy to understand the Lay of the Last Minstrel and Marmion's The Lady of the Lake. The author has no mysterious way of touching the mind. He tells the story in the old fashioned way of story telling, but its excellence is proved by the failure of all his competators. Scott says said that he gave up poetry because he was beaten by Byron on his own ground - but Byron won in the competition by providing something different in kind to Scott. More's Lallah Rookh might to placed in this competition of romantic poetry. The great limitation of Scott's poems romantic poems is that they are not properly dramatic. His novels are dramatic as his poems never are in the dialogue of the humorous characters - the comedy. Scott has received more praise and more blame than any ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p061.jpg) other poet of the same rank. He has been praised for his romantic work and not for his comedy. He has been blamed for superficiality as by (Carlyle, also for the variety of Mock Chivalry. (see Mark Twains Missippi Pilot.

The 18 century interest in the Middle Ages was often connected with an objection to Pope - with a criticism of the rationalists. This hostility was not carried very far by the 18 Cent critics.

Besides the reading of books Scoot had access the access to original traditional sources and this is what gives him so much strength of his strength. Waverly was first named, "Sixty Years Ago Since" and Scott knew by living speech of things that had happened in the Jacobite rising, which was really an adventure of the Middle Ages, an eruption of ancient clans. Scott absorbed also had access to the border traditions which carme came to him in all sorts of ways. The Story of the Bride of Lammermoor to an example of a modern romance, composed not unlike an Icelandic saga. The material came to Scott orally. The Saga's in their method of narrative and conversation conversations mixed the nearest approach to the modern novels that can be found in literary history. In addition to all these influences, Scott came into contact with the General literary influences which had the Medeaval spirit. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p064.jpg) Stephen Philips 1868 Ireland to P[--]stual Father Minster Enterd Queens College Cambige 1890, Prima Vera.

The vogue of the Highlands among tourists began a long time before the Lady of the Lake Many instances of travel there before Wordsworth his sister and Colridge traveled there. It was Mac Pherson's Ossion that first sent people there in search of romantic scenery. Scott greatly increased the interest. There is a difference in Scott's work when dealing with the Highlands where he was a stranger from the Border and Lowlands where he was at home. He is not so accurate in language when he is speaking of the Highlanders.

The Bride of Lammermoor was composed in agony that afterwards he could remember nothing about it. When he saw the opera of Ivanhoe in Paris, he remembered with amusement the cramp in the stomach with which it was composed. 1826 came his failure and reverses in fortunes. He earned much by his writings to pay his debts, and when less than 60 he was an old man. Went to Italy but gained little by the voyage. In spring of 1832 spent a short time at Rome, returned home and died at Abbotsford in Sept. 1832. the year of Goethe's death. There is a misconception as to narrative style both about Scott's poetry and prose. Stephen's makes some criticisms about Scott's style which are much to the point, but all this criticism is not complete ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p072.jpg) Narrative poetry a good theme for a an essay. Its difficulty has not been sufficiently recognized. Very few poets who are especially narrative poets.

Nov. 15, 1910 The difficulty about narrative poetry is that it is so very apt to turn into something else a series of risconary pictures, or arguments for some cause or other. The difficulty with the art of narrative is to keep the narrative from breaing its limits - especially true of poetic narrative. Scott's narrative poetry seldom breaks so called "rules" What has been sometimes made into a ground of blame viz: want of depth in the characters may be a proof that Scott understood the rules. Great difference between prose stories and recreative poems - is that poems all wanting in humor. But this could not be prevented.

In the variety of his lyrical poems no apology is needed by Scott. He scarcely understood his own genius and took his poetic work very lightly. There is perhaps as much poetical variety among Scotts poems as may be found in any poet. The playful quality is sometimes evident. Scott was helped by the amusement of imitation. Here Feb 22. In dealing with the ballads, Scott had various different policies, sometimes used a kind which is not particularly old oldfashioned. Best is the Ballad of Harlow which is put into the mouth of a character in The Antiquary. Scott uses a style similar to Dr. Johnson in "The Memorial Poem." in one of his poems Rebecca's hymn in Ivanhoe is a kind of lyric at which the 18 Cent. were good, but none were better than Scott. There were songs of many different kinds ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p079.jpg) Jack o' Hazeldean etc. Height of Scotts lyric poetry is reached in the incidental poems in some of his novels.

His mother Catherine Gordon was the heiress of an estate in Aberdeemline where she settled in 1890. 1790. In 1794 he succeeded to the title. His early life in Scotland is recorded in various poetic passages. Byron's scenery was not derived from literature nor from later foreign trovee, but was part of his childhood. Went to Trinity College Cambridge. In 1809 took his seat in the House of Lords. In that year he published his satire English Bards & Scotch Reneners, which is the last of the old form of satire.

Returned to London his mother died, and in 1812 Child Harold was published. In the next year following he lived in London among the dandies, a society which he liked better than that of the literary men. Scott & Byron met in London in 1815 and Scott became of one of Byron's best friends & his judgment of him had the most weight in it. Scott knew how to manage him even in his fits of depression and suspicion. Byron married Lady Milbank in January 1815. and she left him without explanation in Jan 1816. Public opinion was against Byron and he left the country traveled through Europe and met Shelley at Geneva. Later wrote the Prisoner of Chillon, Third canto of Child Harold & Manfred.

In 1820 we have an Italian mock poetic poem Ravenna. Then began to write tragedy. Later wrote the "mysterious poems" Heaven & Earth & Cain. In 1822 Byron's Vision of Judgement was published in "The Liberal," a remarkable periodical published by the brother of Leigh Hunt. July 22 Shelleys and his friends dead bodies were washed ashore. Greek war of Liberation broke out in 1821. In 1823 Byron with Trelawney's others sailed for Greece. In 22 Jan 22, he wrote the noblest of all his poems on his Thirty-sixth year.

Beally's Minstrel? is mentioned by Byron, is the last illustration of the sort of poem that just stops short of being successful. Resembles Byron's writing in some ways. Tales in Verse came directly after the first two cantos of Child Harolds Pilgrimage In some of these he uses an irregular verse that makes one think of Scott and Colridge. Many of Scott's characters are Byron's Marmion for instance. In Byron the interest is concentrated on the gloom, melancholy etc. - Things are forced ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p093.jpg) in this direction in Byron. The narrative is not neglected and it recalls the simple narrative of Scott in many respects. A comparative small part of Byron's poetry are in the Romantic verse. After Bride of Alydos? Byron went back to the good old heroic couplet. Byron's idea of blank verse is evidently much the same as Johnson's and Goldsmiths. Byron's critical opinions about poetry are quite different from those of the lyrical ballads. He make no revolutionary manifesto, on the other hand he champions the old school and objects to the manifesto of Keats againt the school of Borlean and Pope.

The earlier Child Harold was a sort of theatrical mash for the utterance of a theatrical sort of melancholy, and in the second part Byron is speaker speaking in his own character, without any attempt at concealment. There is a great difference in depth between the first and the second part of the poem. Two things contribute to this.

Nov. 24 Nature passages in the second part show the influence of Wordsworth. Illst. Description of Storm of on lake Geneva. Through Child Harold people were trained to appreciate Wordsworth, and he thus reached a larger audience. Byron befriended Colridge. His change in regard to Keats is one of the pleasantest things in his literary debates. After the second part of Child Harold, Byron gave up the Spenserian stanza. He used it not in Spenser's way nor in the way of many of his imitators but as a vehicle for nature.

This old and well recognized measure in English verse had been used by Berne in his version of an Italian poem and Byron took him as his model. Pulche, the comic popular poet of Florence was also and influence in determining Byron's style. An older English poet who used this kind of verse was Gray was G in his Epistle to Mr. Pope, after his return from Greece. Congrajulations on his translations of the Illiad. Fairfax wrote a translation in this form and Craslan in his. "Slaughter of the Innocence" used the stanza to greater effect than anywhere else in English. There is splendid rhetoric, strong imigination, and oratorical power in this poem to which Byron ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p101.jpg) never attains. In the translation of Pulche, and best of all in the Vision of Judgment he used this stanza. This poem may be regarded as his best. It is the most splendid attacking poem in the language. It is not a mere libel but a poetical fanciful attack. The glory of the poem is in its political and debating success, nerely. It is the combination of the two opposites ridicule and sublimity. Comic poetry is not mere laughter or ridicule but in the greatest form as in Aristophanes is a reconciliation of opposites. In the Vision of Judgement you get the same Aristophanic vision of laughter and sublimity. sublimity. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p103.jpg) Nov. 29. The lyrical verse of Byron is difficult to estimate. There is great variety but he followed bad models at first. The rejected addresses in 1812 contain some literary curiosities. The de la crosen of weak romantic poetry was followed by Byron in his literary addresses as it was followed by Shelley. It took some time for Byron to escape from that form of literary feeble anapestic verse and gain his later strength. There is a certain kind of meditative recitative poem where rhetoric is in place, but it is not always so. The poem where the qualities are most truly balanced is "The Isles of Greece," whice which comes in Don Juan. It is a poem that has lyrical energy in carrying on a distinct argument. On the other hand there are songs that are as truly songs ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p105.jpg) as anything in Burns. The lighter songs such as Maid of Athens, (not one of the finest poems) has nothing in it unsuited to the singing utterance. Byron has been severely criticised for bad versification by Mr Swinburne. Byron is not a great inventor of English verse like Sheeley or Keats, but apart from his command of the octave stanza, he has a great many plasant small devices which are sometimes overlooked by his critics. From Curran, the Irish poet Byron borrowed one of his lyric forms - one which is exactly fitted for the simple type of melody which one gets in Irish dance music. One of Swinburn's metrical successes was an 18 Century form used by Stenstone. Swinburne uses it with double rimes rhymes as in Dolares. Byron used it in ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p107.jpg) a partial form particularly in the song beginning "Enter thy garden of roses." The best of Byrons dramas is Menna? Some of his dramas descend into the lower regions of the romantic school and are specimes specimens of what was false and mechanical in the time. Merino Fallen, is a drama which has a dignified theme, which allows itself to be worked out under the limitations of which Byron set himself. It is one of the tragedies whose subject was taken up by Swinburne and treated in his own way. A comparison of the two dranas dramas of the same name would be interesting. More similarity between the two men than Swinburn realized. Shelley. Shelley was four years younger than Byron and about twenty ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p108.jpg) Jefferson's Hoggs life of Shelley. Special good early period. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p109.jpg) years younger than Wordsworth, Scott and Colridge. The early poems of Shelley are poor. It was sometimes before his mind was clear in regard even to the elements of verse. See Jefferson Hogg's Life of Shelley. We have a further account of Shelley's early life than we get of most poets. It is as true a presentation as that given by Boswell. Shelley down to the end of his life is led by abstract ideals and phases. His mind has a good deal of the character of the mob in it. Beside this there are a number of other less abstract motives. First meeting of Hogg's Shelley is interesting. The success of Hg Hoggs description is that although we know the weakness of Shelleys verse at that time, yet we feel through the description that the imiginative genus is there, and his work is like the ordinary ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p110.jpg) [Written upside-down] Bridges Laureate. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p111.jpg) work of undergraduates, but contains the singular brooding imigination which was to make poetical poetical wealth out of what might seem mere abstract ideas. Shelley himself supplements Hogg's account of those Oxford days. He speaks of the o extrordinary effect on his mind of an evening view near Oxford - Claiming that his mind was in the receptive brooding state of Wordsworth's in his youth so that ordinary happenings made an unusual effect upon him - gave him visions which might be called prophetic or symbolic. Through his biographical notes we have the state of a practical mind which already has the vision but has not yet learned the language. His want of style in his youth is really remarkable. He had one great advantage that of learning. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p112.jpg) Jos. Wharton's Essay on Pope both interesting and enlightening. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p113.jpg) He had little respect for authority but he took naturally to the ancient poets - particularly the Greek poets. He had nothing of the 18 cent respect for the rules of literature, but the examples of the great poets felt his imagination. He did not go to either for rules but the minds of the older poets kept him from from many varieties. His favorite studies were not literary th but philosophical - (also found fond of chemistry.) Dec 1, 1910 Shelley's reading makes one great difference between him and the other poets of the time. Scott and Byron were unphilosophical. Wordsworth was philosophical in his own way without any definite phylosophical training. Colridge was a metaphysician before he was a poet, but it did not affect all his poetry. He uses philosophical language but does not put philosophical doctrine into distinct ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p115.jpg) poetical form. With Shelley the philosophical reading is not kept separate from the poetic imigination. The different modes of thought can be distinguished, and in some of his poems there is no trace of the philosophical books. Adonais has some philosophical reflection - so "Prometheus Unbound" is a drama of Shelley's philosophy. Shelley's favorite authors were Plato Homer and Mr. Godwin. There is nothing surprising in his regard for Plato for he was naturally in sympathy, sympathy with him. It does seem strange at first to find Shelley among Homer among Shelley's favorite authors, for his philosophy seems fatal to poetical ideals such as Shelleys, but this prejudice against Homer may come from incomplete knowledge of Hormer or from the philosophy of later England. John ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p117.jpg) Stewart Mill etc. Homer's philosophy left no room for the crass of older philosophies. It was not spiritual. The author author who had most influence on Shelley's writings was Mr. Godwin whose "Political Justice" appeared in 1793. Its theory was that the human race was perfectable, that virtue is knowledge, all evils spring from ignorance and so as enlightment increases perfection approaches. Dec 6, 1910 One of the most important elements in Shelley's life is his abstract devotion to liberty. He has a prophetic or missionary purpose in his life which is by no means poetical. He distinguished between the scope of poetry and the scope of science and claims the right to use scientific prose when he needs it. The belief in poetry and the belief in the power of reason is equally strong throughout ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p119.jpg) Shelley's life. His faith in science and philosophy makes a great difference between Shelley and his contemporaries - at least in a biographical sense. Wordsworth's philosophy is inseparable from his pl poetry, and there is no poet of that age nor the next one that can be compared to Shelley in respect to this trust in philosophy. Shelley Shelley made a poor beginning as a poet. He had a violent passion for romance. Queen Mab was written when he was about twenty and shows a different from that of Prometheus Unbound. The verse which is irregular blank verse is iambic. The use of a more classical form than he had employed meant an increase of poetical strength. Shelley was always very willing to take lessons from other poets. In the choice of his measure ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p121.jpg) he was probably influenced by Southy. In 1816 he published "The Spirit of Solitude" and Other Poems." The influence of Wordsworth is evident in this. The influence of Wordsworth on Shelley is something like his influence on Byron, but there is also a difference. Byron got from Wordsworth a sense of the life of nature. It is this sense of the force of nature Nature which makes the difference between the first and the second parts of "Child Harold." Wordsworth affected Shelley through through his concentration of the real things those actually percieved - he brought Shelley out of his mythological idealism to a simpler mode of thought. The strange thing is that while Shelley acknowledged the power of Wordsworth, he refused to call it what it really was imigination imigination. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p122.jpg) Buxton Formacies Ed. of Shelley Complete Poetical work. handiest edition. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p123.jpg) Alastor, or the Spirit of Solitude, is in blank verse. It is remarkable how the cast of Europe and the West of Asia attracted both Shelley and Matthew Arnold. Probably the source of Alastor is in Aeschylus "Prometheus Bound." Dec 8, 1910 Alastor and other poems in 1816. A Revelation of the Golden City called Revolt of Islam 1818. Rosalina Helen and Other Poems in 1819. Promethus Unbound with other poems 1819 Epite[--]dion 1821 Adonias 1821. Hellos 1822 these are the most import- ant volumes published during the poets lifetime. Prometheus Unbound is one of the most splendid poetical productions of an old mythological theme to be found in modern poetry. The Greeks are more Gothic more Romatic than the tastes of the 17 Century would have them. Pope in his essay on ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p127.jpg) Homer escapes from the 18 Century and sees the glory of Homer in other respects than that of Bo[--]ean. The Tragedy of Promethus Bound is easier to read than most of Easchuylus, but it is difficult to understand because we do not understand the schemes. The story is not very much altered in Shelley's Promethus Unbound. In this Zeus of the Olympians have just succeeded the older generation of the domecites. Prometheus the ally of the new powers comes under the displeasure of the king through his love for man. (Promethus had given them fire and with it all the powers of humanity.) In the Greek tragedy) Zeus is represented as cruel and tyrannical, hostile to mankind and their helper, hence Prometheus is punished; All of which is in accordance with the temper of the modern romantic age. It contains the idea of progress ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p129.jpg) which seems unclassical and there is an extrordaniry use of scenery. It is the sort of poetry which may be called Miltonic. The personages in the play have something of the fairy beauty which i is unexpected in the Greek. From the tragedy Shelley took the idea of the reformer of mankind against the opposition of the Olympians. ie the opposition of Freedom & Tryrannical Law. The fairylike daughters of Oceanus became in the English poem the spiritual people in whom is personified the life in the world. This poem was written by Shelley when under the influence of the "Political Justice" of Wm M. Gordon, who advanced the theory that nothing is wanted but knowledge to cure the world of its sense sins. Shelley does not adopt the Greek names. His Jupiter corresponds in matter of fact to the Zeus of Aeschylus ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p130.jpg) Shelley's satire of on Peter Bell the Third should be read. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p131.jpg) He represents a tyrannical ignorant political force as oppossed oppossed to the knowledge which is Freedom. Jupiter in Shelley's play has a number of under meanings. He represents everything which is regarded as wrong and inexpedient in the philosophy of Godwin. The deliverance of Prometheus is the deliverance dreamed of by the leaders of the French Revolution. Godwin in his political "Political Justice" formulated and expounded what was at the bottom of the Revolutionary movement in a great many minds. Wordsworth had lived through the dissolution and reaction following the Revolution, but Shelley coming a generation later, escaped the lesson Wordsworth had learned through his own experience, and by reading and dreaming had reached the original spirit of the Revolutionary times. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p133.jpg) Shelley is as much of a political poet and satirist as Byron. The Godwinian philosop philosophy need not be judged judged on its merits in connection with Prometheus Unbound. Its philosophical value is nothing compared with its poetical value. Dec 13, 1910. There is a distinction in Shelleys poetry between the places where he introduces Paw and kindred spirits and imiginary spirits of his own. It is the difference between the personifica- tion of an idea and allegory. There is a sense in which this pecili peculiar of Shelley's own poetry as differing in scope from Wordsworths. Shel Shelley means something more that than perfect poetical creation although his art is lasting. His mind was content with the matter of experience, or with the transfiguration of experience which was Wordsworth Wordsworth's life and which ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p135.jpg) left the ordinary facts of experience unchanged for those who did not w wish they changed (as in stepping Westward & the Solitary Reaper. But Shelley is not content until he has translated the matter of experience in such a way that it is consumed. Hence co Hence comes the difference between the two poets, which Shelley himself put into words in the accusation that "Wordsworth wanted imagination." (chief passage in Peter Bell the Third - also in dedication to "The Witch of Atlas." The strange thing is that Shelley felt the power of Wordsworth. Shelley can not be to closely limited to any one theory or any one aim. In Shelley there is still a great deal of the old fashioned Plationism. In his poetry poetry there is the same false idealism as in Sir Philip Sidney. Shelley in his "Defense of Poetry" has a similar feeling to that Sir Joshua Reynolds ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p137.jpg) shows in his theories about painting. Shelley goes so far as to find fault with the heoric figures of Homer for those imperfections that make them human, dramatic, and interesting. He seems to admire an ideal beauty which would exclude anything personal. Against the spirit of Prometheus Unbound may be set the fine dramatic poetic poetry of Caenci. It has all the faults of the Elizabethan drama written in a later time, but its good points are obvious. Peter Bell the Third is a sitr satirical description of Wordsworth, a comic poem a criticism. Peter Bell the First was written by Keats friend, John Hamilton Reynolds. From this Shelley got his idea of Peter Bell the Third. A stanza of this was from Wordsworth's Peter Bell but it was left out in a later editions. Those who say that Shelley is wanting in humor should read this poem to appreciate his art. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p139.jpg) Shelley's critical grevience against Wordsworth was that he never could understand another situation than that wherein he stood. He It may be said, in summary that Wordswort's genius greatly impressed Shelley, who understood his poetry - but Shelley had a different mode of work and improved many ways and means in poetry which Wordsworth left out and they came to work at cross purposes. The lesson from this debate is, that it shows the difference between the imagination that translates experience in a spiritual way and the imagination that transfigures experience leaving the facts unalterable. Dec. 15, 1910 Shelleys Shorter Poems Matthew Arnold makes some disparaging remarks about Shelley's verse in his "Introduction to Wards Poets." But Shelley's finest poetry is in anepestic verse it is a mistake to speak ill of use of ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p140.jpg) Essay on English Verse by Coventry Patmore that kind of measure. "The Cloud," is not the deepest not the most truly - of Shelley's poems but it has awakened many to an appreciation of poetry. The words in it all thoughts and the images taken from life. It is a difficult kind of verse because it is so easy in that kind of verse to be discordant. One of the difficulties of anapestic verse in England is that so much of it is not anapestic. Brownings poem, "How They Brought the Good News" is an example of rough anapestic verse. "The Cloud," we do not find errors in the measure. There are true spondees in the verse - which it is difficult to find in Eng. verse. The harsher verse of "The Sensitive Plant is in a measure explained by the import of the poem. "The Cloud" and "Acethus" are poems showing Shelley's mastery of his subject, mastery of his own thoughts and there is more in the meaning of the poem than he can express. There is bad grammar as well as difficult construction in the poem. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p141.jpg) The Skylark and the Ode to the West Wind should be looked at for their verse. They are two of Shelley's finest inventions in poetical music and they are all but complete. The Ode is more symmetrical and nearer to the verse of Gray's Pindaric Odes. The Skylark belongs the to the Spenserian tradition - by the Alexandrine at the end of the verse. Gray's Hymn to Adversity, which was imitated by Wordsworth in his Ode to Italy is Miltonic and Spenseric all, so the stanza of the Skylark was probably suggested by Milton but its originality liss lies in the fact that he gives up the common harmony between the common heoric line of the Alexandrine. Spenser rather fills out the heroic line. Milton's Ode to Nativity is based on the realism between the 6 syllable line and the 10 s.l. The other is the rela relation of 4 or 8 l & 12 l. Shelley has worked out one of the most difficult things in verse, a union of troach trocaic & iambic verse where so that there is no incongruity between them. With the double line of the 18 & 3 lines, ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p142.jpg) we get a sort of imitation of the iambic measure. Shelley is so often regarded as a mere romantic poet, an incorrect poet that it is worth while to examine the structure of his poetry. The Ode to the West Wind is in un "narrative lectiarenia-" the verse of the Divine Comedy. It was the one Italian form of verse that Chaucer made, an attempt to imitate. After him it never succeeded in England although used by Thomas Wyatt in his true satires. Mrs Browning in "Casa Guidio" Mudons" and other moderns poets. The rhymes which are so important in Dante Dante, never seem to get then proper value in English. The Ode to the West Wind is perhaps the one exception. the result is gained by keeping the verse purely lyrical. The stanza is one of Shelleys great metrical inventions. "The Cloud," The "Skylark" and the Ode to the West Wind have this in common, they are not translations of nature into mythological thought, you do not ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p143.jpg) find, you do not find his dreams and ideas taking human semblance as in Prometheus Unbound." The Cloud is personified but in a way allowed by the most conventional school of poetry - there is nothing in it which is not taken from nature. In the Skylark we have all the gladness in the world which is not sicklied over by the pale cast of thought. In these poems Shelley's imagination came nearer the Wordsworth's than Shelley himself was willing to acknowledge. Dec 20, 1910. Matthew Arnold finds fault with Shelley for his choice of subjects - but the choice of subject does not matter, for poetry and pictures can not be judged by subjects alone. Poetical thought declares itself in a different way from philosophy, but like philosophy poetry is obliged to give solid thinking about realities. What is the nature of the thought in the mind of a painter when he is succeeding? It is not analysis but the holding together of the thing seen ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p144.jpg) so that in all its stations, it may make one impression on the mind of the spectator. He has to work analytically, at the same time. The poetical thinking is much the same in the Skylark and "The West Wind." The essence of the poetical ths thought is the concentration and energy with which the poem is created. The thought of the West Wind is less able to be translated into prose than that of the Skylark. The poetry thought is — in the verse to begin with. In the argument there are three main passages 1) Contains first three stanzas which are full of admiration, devotion enthusiasm to the life of the west wind. 2) Stanza 4 minds of the poet turns upon his own pains and sorrows. Stanza 5 gives a union of the other two elements, for the human soul of the poet is caught up, enlivened & inspired by the power to which the poem is addressed. It is that sort of movement which is poetic thought and it is in that sort of argument that Shelley excels There is much of it in Prometheus Unbound. Shelleys tragic drama the Cenci should be remembered for the poetic strength ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F3_p145.jpg) of the composition and the workmanship. Adonais is much less compact than the chief lyrical poems of Shelley. It is more diffuse in form but has the same sort of poetical thought in it, with a different mode of utterance. There is a lagre use in it of the tradition of mythology. Shelley is a learned poet, not with the weight of Ben Johnson, or the enormous reading of Samuel Butler & Robt Browning but he did read a great deal. The modesty and humility of his genius is not always appreciated. He did not have any ill tempered, selfish concentration which is sometimes found in great artists. The Adonais is filled with reminiscences. It depends upon Lycidas which again is filled with iluminescences and which is in Shelley's mind all through the poem. In a similar way the Greek poets were in Milton's mind when he wrote Lycidas. The preface to Adonais is one of the lively passages of Shelley's prose. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F4_p004.jpg) History Modern Europe Fyffes Modern Europe.

A modern representative body req represented the people without regard to classes, the medeaval legislature represented special classes. The South German legislature is a med[---]m between these two kinds. They do not repres- ent classes but interests. The landed classes were represented in Bovaria) the large landed classes the peasants and the cities.

The king of Prussia had issued a very important proclamation. He promised (1) The establishment of the Estates in the several provinces of Prussia. The king of Prussia had issued a very important proclamation. He p[---]ed the Establishment of the Estates in the several provinces of Prussia. There dicts existed they were to be adopted to modern times. in others they were to be established. (2) Upon the basis of these dicts a national legislature was to be formed, and it was to poceed from these local dicts. The concessions were made while Nap. was marching towards ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F4_p016.jpg) Prussia. The question was whether the King of Prussia would keep his promise. The promise was partially fulfilled in 1823, and fully in 1850. Reason of this delay in giving the people a truly national government. Methernich was much opposed to having a national gov. in Prussia. But the condition of Prussia had much to do with this delay. About one half of Prussia had been acquired lately. It had been belonged to other states. If national dicts had been established there was danger that particular elements would come in the [--]nt for the people had no experience. In 1818 an important edict ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F4_p017.jpg) was issued, it was an edict on custom houses. Custom houses were on the exterior of each provinces. The edict did away with the internal custom houses and such houses were to exist only on the border of Prussia, thus custom regulations were simplified. The law by which compul- sory military sevice was enacted. If the kind had had to consult a material parliament his purposes might have been thwarted. The king was not so great, he had great ministers. Prussia was organized and improved very much during this period. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F4_p018.jpg) Lecture III Feb 2/23 In the Treaty of Venna a statement was made to Prussia having dicts but it was so stated that it was Prussia will have not should have. The yong men of Prussia were in favor of a liberal constitution, but before this could take place Prussia had to be reorganized its elements unified. The representatives made by ministers to the king were confirmed in 1817 by two events the first of these was the Festival of Wartburg. Festival of Wartburg. After the close of the war Burschenschaften were established at the German universities. Jena was the first. At these meetings patroitic songs were sung. dreams of German unity ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F4_p019.jpg) were indulged in. Later another step was taken, the various societies were united with a German Burgschenschoft. To Meternucks these seemed a dangerous syste symptom he dreaded national associations even of students interested in their father-land. Oct 18, 1817 this German association held a meeting near Jeva which was in the territory of the Grand duke of Verona Wiliman. The students of Jena were in the majority but representa tives of the other universities were present. The professors made addresses. In the evening a festival was held in Escemnoch near by. A bon-fire was indulged in this was all legitimate. A number of students brought books of reactionary tendences ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F4_p020.jpg) and symbols of arbitrary government were thrown into the fire while appropriate speeches were made. The aroused excitement over all Germany. It was thought that this was the result of the Dukes liberal measures, so mesengers were sent to expostulate with him. It was feared the Fr. Rev. might break out again and it seemed as though it might break out in the Duke's territory. The Festival was celebrated in honor of the 300 anivesie of the posting of the Theses by Luther and the battle of Leipsie. Rotzeb[-]e was a literary man, he was regarded as a Prussian spy, affairs. The king of Prussia and Europe of Austria had an interview at Calsbad ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F4_p021.jpg) and then g agreement was called the Punctation of Teplitz. Aug. 1819. Carls bad D.

It might be supposed that a movement would be set on first to bring about the strengthening of the confederation. The first point agreed up was to decide upon some means of com- pulsion of making the decrees of the dict carried not in the states of the Confederation. 2 The questions of the establishment ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F4_p022.jpg) of dicts in the separate states of the Confederation. Meternuck and Fred. Will III held various interpretations of the dict. Meternuch said that the Mudent steste in which the aristocracy were strong were to have these dicts so the people would not be represented. He won Fredrick William III over to his side. William pledged not to introduce any dicts into his provinces until William Prussia had been recognized reorganized and then he would establish medeaval Estates, as the promised dicts. Some means were to be found by which the south German rulers would withdraw from the obligation or promises they had made ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F4_p023.jpg) and to take. 3 Freedom of Press. 4 Restrant of the Universities. The greater part of this pro- gram was carried out in Carls bad where a congress representative of the more important German states. Here the decrees of Carl bad were formulated. 1 What is known as a provision of execution dict. The resolutions of the dict were to be executed by a commission which was to be charged with the duty of seeing that the decrees of the dict were carried into effect. Moreover it was resolved that the dict was to be empowered to employ military force against a state which refused to cary out the decrees. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F4_p024.jpg) 2 The measures against the universities all of which were state universities, not stab governmental. The several states with universites were ordered to appoint commissioners who were to watch that the spirit of the instructions were g Sunday given in the right direction. This was done that German unity might be accomplished. Dangerous professors were to be removed and were not to be employ in other states. The German Buch Burschenshof was dissolved because it involved constant correspondance & communication between the students of the different universities. 3. Measures against the Press ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F4_p025.jpg) All papers and books over twenty sheets were to be subject to censor-ship. A publisher of a supposed paper was not be allowed to appea in any other state within five years. 4 The establishment of a commission for the investi- gation of demogogical intrigues. The commission met at Mayence & was there a long time. They could find nothing harmful.

[Resume original text] Knoxville, Tenn. 18 July 1912 My dear Alice Louis Reynolds:- It was altogether delightful to get your letter. Not to hear from you and not to know where to write you was not a satisfactory combination after last week. Firstly. It is the hottest imaginable here. I have not suffered from the heat so much for several year. It was not hot at all in Chicago. At least it did not "get me". I lecture once a day 10 to 11, but I have talked twice extra in small groups. There are 2400 enrolled & they all hear me ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F5_p030.jpg) apparently, at least the vast auditorium. Cla[-]ta[-]que style is full to the limit with a ex- ceptionally enthusiastic and appreciative crowd. It is i[-]te[--]ship. Many here when I know, and many more who have heard me elsewhere. I am perfectly well; only the heat has blistered me, but that is much better today. To-night To-morrow noon I leave for Cincinnati, then by night to Chicago the a long full day at Congress Hotel and by night to Kirksville. Mo. for Sunday & Monday & then to Cape Girardeau. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F5_p031.jpg) 2 [Letterhead] So much for self. Well, I was never so surprised in a audience. The president said that it was the largest of the week, that the upper balcony was the most filled up. There was never a decent last night audience before. In Boston two years ago it was disgracefully small. The Baroness was awful. Could not be heard by anybody. Was confined wholly to her notes, had to hold the paper close to her eyes, had to have many words pronounced for her by her prompter, but of course the audience did not know that. The ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F5_p032.jpg) audience was entirely respectful & not noisy and did not scatter. A bright little woman on "Camp Fire Girls" was the [--]jected and she was reasonably clever and the audience enjoyed her. Gulick closed. He was not at his best, far from it, was more or less con- fined to his notes which is wholly un- usual for him. He said to me after- wards that it was the first time that was ever thankful when he got through. It was - he was - too long, but the evening as a whole was not long. I would have given much had I dared to take a little more time. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F5_p033.jpg) 3 [Letterhead] What you say of my talk is most gratifying. The setting was not to my liking, of course. My the[-]e was cut out for a long address, but I caught President Pearse's intro- duction on the fly and had a chance to play on it a bit which was evi- dently pleasing to the audience. In- deed, I was assured over & over again that I was the only one in the week with the possible exception of Niley who played with the audience and enjoyed the people. They were deliciously responsive to look upon. You know that is great fun. Some upper balcony people said they ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F5_p034.jpg) heard every word and heard no one else. I was glad I thought to have that little introduction. It was quite necessary. The Chicago crowd was not expecting to be wholly happy with me, but it was after that start off. Mrs. Young and I have not spoke as we pass (theoretically) for some months and she has said some keen things about me to her principals but she sought me out after the evening and came as near gushing as she can. In- deed, she was almost effusive. Of course the Utah Hotel was a boquet to you. You knew it, no one else did. It was not [--]gged [---], came quite happily direct from the bat. Glad you caught it. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F5_p035.jpg) 4 [Letterhead] Pearse was greatly pleased with my summing up introduction. He said no one else could have said it at all & no one else would have said it so incidentally that it did not sound like a boquet. Glad you caught the mischievous- ness of the Presidents of the U.S. the audience caught it promptly. Of course that is the kind of a by play that I like. It was what was needed at that time. An au- dience, like an individual, likes to feel that you are enjoying them and are saying things just to the The [---] question was really the ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F5_p036.jpg) are approach to a master stroke. It ought to be said, It ought to be said then and there after the week's nonsense. I think I never said anything more entirely "wise and witty" than, "You're are causing us a lot of trouble." And them to rise to a real consideration of the part they are playing was a bit of art if I do say it. Of course I could have made a conventional speech that would have appeared more brilliant and it was a temptation but I did what I wanted to do, what I thought ought to be done, what no one else has ever done and what, I fancy no one else could have done ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F5_p037.jpg) [Letterhead] to the same number of minutes. Well, I think I never wrote so much about myself before. Really I shall never speak of that speech to anyone else so I have enjoyed the privilege. Faithfully and heartily A. E.

It has every facility for efficient service—a book carrier that acts with almost human intelligence, a hydraulic window closer, an underground book tunnel that carries books to the Capitol quicker than the fleetest messenger, and a clock system by which the elec- tric lights are put out. The building covers nearly three and a half acres has about two thousand windows and cost with site over $6,500,000. It is the only government building open to visitors until ten o'clock at night. In conception, design, and execution it is a product of American talent, art and workmanship. [The following is stamped over the previous paragraph "WASHINGTON MAY 5 12 M 1919"] Washington D.C.

On this limited front 400.000 French soldiers fell; 300.000 of whom, according to official records, will remain unidentified and can never be reclaimed by their families. [Image with the caption "Ossuary and light of Douaumont."] It is for these unidentified bodies that we plan to erect an Ossuary in the centre of this immense battlefield, upon the culminating point from which the eye can sweep it in all directions. The plan for this National Monument was the subject of a competition among ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F5_p078.jpg) [Column 1] French architects. Fifty-six took part in it. The jury composed of seventeen members, presided over by Marshal PÉTAIN, chose the design signed by Mr. AZEMA, First "Grand Prix de Rome", and Mr. HARDY," architecte diplômé par le Gouvernement". The monument will comprise an ossuary composed of twenty-six cells or mortuary chapels, each containing two tombs. These fifty-two sepulchres will enclose the bones of the unknown gathered from the fifty-two sectors designated the battlefield of Verdun. Thus the families who mourn a member disappeared, if they know approximately where he fell, can knell before a definite tomb with the hope that his remains rest there. [Image with the following caption "Cloister of the Ossuary of Douaumont."] The cells will open upon a cloister more than 180 metres long with a portal in the middle and a tower of 45 metres in height, crowned by the "beacon of Douaumont". The portal will give access to the Catholic Chapel. At the end of the cloister there will be an oratory for Protestant families. Sites are also reserved for Hebrew and Musulman commemorative monuments. The national cemetery will be laid out like an amphitheatre at the foot of the monument and will include at least 20.000 graves of unknown soldiers. These will make up the advance guard of the army of the innumerable unknown of the ossuary who were their brothers in arms during the combat and in death. A temporary ossuary, a simple shelter, was inaugurated with the benediction of [Column 2] His Eminence Cardinal DUBOIS, Archbishop of Paris and former Bishop of Verdun, September 4, 1919, and it is there that scattered bones have been transported as fast as they have been exhumed. About two hundred coffins containing them have already been placed there. A chaplain, M. l'Abbé NOEL, a former military chaplain, is in charge and assures the Offices of the Church. Every day come pilgrimages, societies, and foreign delegations, bringing their prayers and their offerings. We appeal to all Frenchmen. We know too well their generosity and their fidelity to the memory of the dead to doubt their support in this great work of national piety. As Marshal PÉTAIN said at the ceremony of August 22, 1920: "It is to the glory of these soldiers of Verdun and their sublime sacrifice that the monument, of which we have just laid the corner-stone, will render homage. Upon this hill already sacred, this monument will rise simple and sober like the soul of the soldier; vast and noble like the grandeur of the sacrifice; durable, imperishable even, like the memory of the heroes of Verdun." The names of all the benefactors will be written in a Golden Book which will be kept in the monument. At the head of the list will be the names of the founders, who have subscribed 500 francs or more. To all contributors of 10 francs will be given an artistic diploma by Georges SCOTT, attesting the interest they have taken in the work and reproducing the autograph of Marshal PÉTAIN. Already the families of identified soldiers and of the unkown fallen on the battlefield, groups or societies, also cities, may subscribe for a stone, for a tomb, or for a mortuary chapel. The subscription for a stone size 0,60 X 0,30 with the inscription of a soldier's name is 200 francs. For a pillar or a pilastre with the inscription of the name, the grade, the regiment, the age, 500 francs. For the tomb of a sector and the half of a mortuary chapel with plaques, 25,000 francs. For a mortuary chapel complete with its two tombs 50.000 francs. A bulletin, "L'Écho de l'Ossuaire de Douaumont", appearing every two months, describes the ceremonies that take place at the Ossuary, recounts the searches made on the battlefield, and gives the progress of the work. Subscription price 5 francs a year. Forward to the Treasurer at Verdun. [Image with caption "Ossuary of Douaumont.

My dear Alice:- I received your letters advising me of the change in your program, and while I regret that the children will not be able to see you, yet I am delighted to know that you are able to have this wonderful trip. I can readily appreciate how much you will enjoy it, especially your trip to the Holy Land be of great and absorbing interest to you. I certainly would like to make the trip myself, and to have the opportunity of seeing all of the historical places. I desire to thank you for making arrangements with Professor Barker for the children. I have heard from Karl, and he received your word about the situation in Paris, and I am sure they will avail themselves of the knowledge of Professor Barker and of the opportunities which he will afford them in carrying on their studies in Paris, and I am very glad that Miss Lyman will be so willing to aid, and at the same time care for Margaret. The children should be in Paris by this time. They expected to leave Germany on the 16th or 17th. I know they will be disappointed in not seeing you there, but the fact that they will be among friends and Utah people will make it very pleasant for them. I hope you have a very enjoyable trip, and that you will find time to write me a few lines occasionally advis- ing me of your welfare. I will forward another letter in a few days to you at Liverpool, sending the amount you suggest. I will give me a very great pleasure to do so, and if more is needed for your trip, let me know, and I will do all I can to aid you. Again thanking you for all of your kindnesses to the children, and with best wishes for your happiness and for a glorious trip, I am Yours sincerely, Samuel A King ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F5_p081.jpg) En route 20 Jany 1919 My dear Alice L.

I thought that you could quite easily come to Stockwell by the tube, but find such is not the case, and you will be obliged to make several changes. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F5_p089.jpg) I hope it may be a fine Wednesday and that nothing will prevent our meeting. If we should miss by any chance, don't stay at Herne Hill Station after 3.15 but enquire the way for Herne Hill, and our road is at the top on the right hand side just before you reach the shops. Trusting this cold weather has not caused any return of your weakness. Believe me Yours sincerely B. Janet Sinclair ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F5_p090.jpg) However, since you have crossed the Atlantic I suppose I need have no fear but that you can cross London quite well. The best way seems to be the train from Tottenham (Hale) at 2.3 for Liverpool Street, and arriving there at 2.22. From there you can walk to Moorgate Street and take the underground to Stockwell. At Stockwell there is a Motor bus which for one penny will bring you to Herne Hill Station, and there I had better meet you at the booking office, as much before 3. P.M as you can manage the journey. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F5_p091.jpg) Lehi. Dear Miss Reynolds. You will note I am visiting here with relatives.

It is also thought it would be quite a nice distinction to you prior to your trip to England. The idea is that the diff- erent families bring their dinner, play games at the park, and probably in the evening go to the Twenty-first Ward Recreational Hall for a program and some dancing. Personally I would rather have it a later date because I was anx- ious to use the Saturday with Monday holiday which will be Memor- ial Day and take the family on a little weekend outing. This date, however, seems to be most convenient for most of the members of the family. I do not believe that I congratulated you in the recognition that came to you in being chosen as one of the ten B.Y.U. Alumni who will be honored with the distinguished alumni award. Millie told me that you had called and invited us to the banquet, and it will be a pleasure, of course, for us to be there. We are all real proud of you and your fine accomplishments. I am attaching a few stamps. Should appreciate your returning to me duplicates that you have as I can make good use of them.

Dues received from members who are enrolled after the dues for the current year have been collected, should be forwarded to the stake secretary be- fore the ward books are closed in December, and the stake secretary should forward the portion due the General Board before the general books are closed for the year. If the dues are collected in December for the year following, such dues should not be entered in the December business, but should be held by the ward secretary-treasurer and entered in the January accounts.)

Dearest Aunt Alice: It is rather late, and I shoud'nt take time to write now, but I want to get at least a few lines off to you tonight. We have some big news, and I know you will be glad to hear it. The very day after you left Clark brot two teeth into view! I was so sorry you were not here to discover them, after all of your fruitless searches. Our boy is feeling fine, but he does miss his Aunt Alice. He jumps with joy when we approach your door, and he still calls for you in the mornings, and looks thru the bars of his crib for you. In a way I am glad you have not been here the last four days, tho, for you would have worried about his behavior. Last Sunday he decided that it was fun to spit, and every bit of food was squirt- ed out with amazing strength. He thot it was great fun and grinned wickedly after each offence. Of course, I had to take his food away, with the result that he had no more than a bottle of milk all day. Monday and Tuesday, he took his milk, but nothing more. He still persisted in his little trick, tho the grin was getting rather wan. Yesterday, I decided to combat the evil with a lesser one, so I let him sit in his swing and play while he was eating--I also gave him his solid foods first. Well, the novelty of the thing won him over and he is sitting in his high chair and eating like a little man now. He had me pretty upset, tho. ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F5_p108.jpg) Mamie left for Canada on Tuesday morning, and the Jarvis' leave in the morning. Things seem quite different around here, and I should probably be getting lonesome, if Gertrude were not here. I am certainly glad she is to be with me this summer, and I am sure we will have a fine time. De drove Lyman up to Camp last Sunday, and returned quite enthused over the outlook. He feels that Lyman is going to have a wonderful time up there. I hope we can get up to see him, tho it is quite a distance. We took the plant over to Olpins, and got your belt. I have already enclosed it in a package we sent to Ruth, along with your hose and comb and brush, You have no doubt received them by now. I am enclosing the only mail that has come for you. The long envelope was opened by me, by mistake. I received a circular in the same mail, and thot that was what I was opening. The weather has been delightful here, so we have dared hope you have had a pleasant and cool trip. I do hope so, for it can be rather uncomfortable when it heats up. Gertrude and I have been out to a luncheon at the Wylands today, and had a fine time. Ruby is planning to go to Chicago very soon, I thing, I will miss her, tho it will be easier to adjust with Gertrude here. She is fine company-and a lot of help, too. I think she is writing the folks so I am passing up my letter this week. I hopw Ruth got the 4th of July box we sent her for the young ones. I hope you enjoy yourself, and I know you will, the rest of the summer. It will no doubt seem wonderful to see the family and friends after your long absence. We miss you greatly, but consider ourselves very lucky to have had you for so long. Best love, Nell-De-Clark & Gertrude ----- new page (MSS120_S1_B2_F5_p109.jpg) The A.N.
