“There is very little change here
.cud the weather Is about the same as
when 1 went away but there is noth­
ing like so much rain aa I had goi
, ten use to tn France. There it rains
almost all of the lime for about nine
months and the weather is usually
cold and a fire is always needed
The houses are all of stone, and there
I is only a fireplace with a small fire
burning threon as a source of heat
for all of the big room and many of
the rooms are large. As houses are
al) stone, there is no such a thing as
a wood-frame house. Many of the
stairways inside the houses are stone
also and you can readily see how
'that makes everything cold. Bath-
I rooms are a very scarce article and
bathing as we here in America know
' it. is unknown. In Paris of course
' there are Im th tube, but then that
city Is much like New York, only
' nothing like as good a place. There
are no street care In l*aris. Large
motor buses are run over the streets
and there are many taxicabs and they
are kept going all of the time. The
absence of street cars is not noticed
when it is so easy to get a taxicalc
and there are so many large motor
buses. Prices were high but not so
high as we here at home are com-
! ¡celled to ¡»ay for the things we must
buy. A good tneal could be bought
on a French dining car for a little
over a dollar while here the same
i things ordered in one of our dining

Ixiuella is in China, and she does
not think it compares at all with

are expensive for they ask 317 a day1
for one room in a hotel. How- Is that i
for a Chinaman asking pri'-es? Just
how they will make out they cannot
say now as they cannot Judge bus­
iness at this time. They were wait­

Chinese New Year, for after that they

but it is hard to get a Chinaman to
do business before the New Year.
