A Budget of Interesting Things From Switzerland Third Travelog From Pen of Mrs. T. Dowdney Clark WRITER VISITS MANY HISTORIC PLACES AND I^AS HONOR OF SITTING IN JOHN CALVIN'S CHAIR. CLIMBS THE CELEBRATED JUNGFKAU INTO THE ICE GROTTO

Every week letters are received from readers of the Sentinel, exprssinft the pleasure In the perusal of the charming travelogs from the versatile pen' of Mrs. T. "Dowdney Clark. Mrs. Clark's letters arc deservine.uf all the praise bestowed. *11 with oift exception show high literary merit, a keen observant mind arid a wonderfully sympathetic heart. This week Mrs. Clark .writes from Switzerland. Her description of Geneva, and the historic chapel I in which John Calvin's chair is pre- . served is delightful and Instructive. J We lead Mrs. Clark's log notes of her travels and observations, as! , she passes through the devastated regions of France with tearful eyes. Wc have indeed learned ' more of what France suffered' through the war, from Mrs. Clnrk's letters than wc have from many a; dollar volume. Mrs. Clark's next letter we await with eager anticipation. The ' lady goes to Italy, and being a gifted and cultured musician, her epistle from the birth-place of the opera will be Instructive. Interlaken, SwitaeriW:- i July 10. l?2». i Editor, Ocean City Sentinel:- :i Soon after I wrote my Paris let- i ter, we visited the Chateau countr j ! I of France, making the trip in larqa ; | sight-seeing busses, each one holn- : < ing twenty people. We were got.o 1 } five days and covered a-i area ->f , five hundred and fifty miles, each , night stopping at a different hotel. { *Ve visited many chateau.-., r.rjj castles of kings and queens, ixt-ng | ) back to the ninth century; and tsjd we walked through the spacious I d and magnificient corridors and j t rooms- we could easilv imagine {g them (talking to and fri, clad in i gorgeous apparel. Back of it all, t! we could also imagine the heu\ y _ taxation and oppression of the people, to maintain all this splendor, waste, and extravagance. I will not write more fully i pen this subject now however, but reaerve it for a soedil letter later on, as there is so much to write about " As we rattled and clattered with horn 'blowing, through the narrow streets of the village, wej created quite a coinm itlcn -and the j villagers everywhere greeted' ui by I laughter, shouting and waving of! hands. But how strange it did seem, not to see hardly any young jB

ed men. There were the old ;ieoplc, : x- and thoso of middle life, also the i al young women a:i I children; but in he the five hundred and fifty miles of sy our journey. I only saw seven young men. Through the beautiful v- rolling country, in the fields so ill luxuriant with the harvest of vegetables, fruits and grains, their abtd sence was very noticeable- and my ic heart was filled with deep sadness, j for I remembered where they were, 1 »s . these sons of France, who had i.i ! answered the call of their country. 1 el They had indeed made the supreme ' r- j sacrifice, and now they lay very 1 e. | still under* the sod, while the red ' if | poppies bloom on, while every- ! is where the women in black are al- 3 •I ways a mute, but eloquent remind- ' d cr of these dear French boys. The ' d old folks, the young women and 1 d children Have taken up thei- vr«rk ' s and are indeed "carrying on." c a I must tell you about our visit s ! ill Switzerland. We left Paris (as 0 0 wc returned there from our Chau- s e teau trip), one night at nine-thirty " » I for Geneva on the "sleeper" nnd I r want to say here .that they are t s very different care from ours. A o little passage runs along one side 'I • of the car, and there are little c • with two lierths. one above H the other and a tiny dressing room h - attached, while a door opens into t! ' : the main room from the aisle. Any F • looking respectable, wheth- ii - man or woman, can buy a berth, ' just imagine a woman traveling U alone who goes into the room, un- t] 1 dresses- gets into her berth, and g feels quite secure, when suddenly t« a strange man comes along, puts tl baggage in qntl proceeds to un- s I dress, after shutting or locking the T and gets into his berth, and w - there you are, not a curtain of any m i kind in front to give you privacy, te the conductor or guard is in car, but still your door is shut, fii

I was simply amazed at this con dition of affairs, and amazed ii the superlative degree, when : young lady in our party, was Voh a man .was to have the lower bertl and she had her choice, either ti stay there, or go in the next ca | and sit up all night, (dressed) Ii a sleeping chair, which alternatlvi you "can imagine she did. J I never rocked and rolled s< | much in a sleeper before; but however, at last the night was over am p | early in the morning, we were call(ed to dress and next hustled out in | the rain to have our gaggage and passports examined on the Swiss -border. At last after many allays we. were through; hustled back, , i mighty hungry into our train, and then on to Geneva. „ We reached our hotel Metropole 1 at ten A. M.- and had some hot „ coffee, rolls and jam. Ofahow we ,1 did enjoy this fine hotel, and our u big rooms that did not rock and . roll, ami we upper berth folks, . were glad to dress upon our feet, >• instead of our knees, and mightily pleased to have a pin tray to put , our pins in, instead of our mouths. I There's a lesson right here, — we don't appreciate odr blessings- . until we lose them, then how big . and important thy become; these I everyday blessing*. But let me add, rejoice and a^Jn rejoice, that . are an American, ../or truly it . is the land of comforts'," convtn- , ionces and privileges, and a place where after all the fine fancy living of these big foreign hotels, you look straight at an car of sweet corn, a big sweet fcotatoe, and a quart of good lima beans and say, "here let me eat and here let me live." 1 could not help .wbndering though how one young fellow made out at the border, because one of custom officials found a pile of cigarettes, about a foot thick, in! baggage, and the last view I had was two officers had him by arms, covering him with talk, while he was protestand answering in English. Another older man, in the bot- ■ of whose trunk they had found boxes of cigars, expressed great surprise and said his daugh- 1 must have put them .there; but 1 replied it was very strange ' she had. put them in the bottom. 1 followed a terrific .fusilade of words, so I wonder also how this made out. History alone can tell. We just loved Geneva, it was so : and when the afternoon of our
