The following letter was received
by Consul H. B. Miller, from his
daughter Winifred, who is on her way
home from Chins. : '
Naples, May 23, 1904.
We reached here tired, and weary
on. the eve of the 19th, coming by
train from Brindisi. We left the
Chiua at Port Said, and took the fast
mail steamer Clsis for Brindisi.
First day we did not have much
pleasure, as tho Clsis tossed a great
deal, but the second day was lovely,
perfect, and we saw many of the
mythologigcal islands. It was rather
a rest to get off the China and away
from the noisy crowd and to be one
among 13, instead of one among 300.
The trip from Brindisi here by rati
was tedious and took from 7 a. m. to
5 pm. I never- was in a train that
jolted so, it went slowly and yet toss
ed yon abont from one side to the
other in a dreadful manuer. We en
joyed it, though, in spite of physical
torture, for tha country we passed
through was beautifu! green fields
dotted with red poppies &ud yellow
flowers. I do wish yon could see it
and could have been with ns to have
enjoyed it Then we passed through
beautiful mountain country ai.d saw
in the distance old ruins which look
ed like deserted castles and old Vesu
vius loomed in sight.
And here we are at the Hotel
Bristol. Mamma and I have been
taking a rest and yesterday was a day
off after the long trip over the sea.
The day before, we went to Cook's,
with whom wo aro making arrange
ments for tho rest of our trip, and
drove abont Naples, going to the
museum, had only a glimpse, so re
turned thero today to study the
bronzes and tho statuary. It is splen
did and olio wishes for weeks instead
of hours to spend in the museum and
for the numerous trips about Naples.
Then the eto of the 20th we went for
a long drive. I saw somothiug of
the life of "the people; they live out
in the open and the ladies bow and
work in front of their houses. There
are children everywhere, pleasant
looking people and children, and moH
attractive little beggars as fur as
manners go and expression, but their
olothes are European, so not very
picturesque. We have a beantiful
view of Vesnvius and tho bay of
Naples from our window. Vesuvius
is smoking hard and coi.tinuonsly.
Forgot, to tell you about seeing
fruits, strawberries, cherries, oranges,
apples, etc., and fresh vegetables in
abundance. Flowers are everywhere
and wondrlul carnations yon see at
evry corner, and so cheap; I wish I
could send yon some.
I think we shall spend six or seven
da) s hero. Tomorrow we want to go
to Pompeii, the next day to Vesnvius
and then to Sorrento and to Capri.
There is so much to do and see, one
hardly knows which to do first.
Then about Weduesday or Thursday,
we shall depart for Rome. I know
you would love it all but tho dirt.
Our hotel is beautifully clean, and I
think it must have been an old palace
for it has all marble and tiled floors
and the meals aro very good.
I must dress now to go for a short
excursion or laigo walk, if mamma
and I feel equal to It, for thero arc
ninny interesting places near hero to
see churches and monasteries
abound.
Me.cca.boes Picnic at Greenback.
On August in, 11M4, the long looked
for time, the Lady Maccabees, on this
delightful morning began to gather on
the chosen ground, a spot near Green
back mine, overhung by large, droop
ing trees, with a beautiful stream
of ch ar, mountain water, and be
gan to preparo for tho great feast.
By 12 o'clock soma 200 people had
gathered on this delightful spot, there
to enjoy the picnic and a picnio it
was lor everybody. When the writer
aisared on the scene, five minutes
after 12 o'clock, his eyes were met
by swings, hammocks, and tro's
highly decorated in colors and about
KM) children seated beside a long
table. It was children's day and to
have seen those little children en
joying themselves' one wonld have
thought it was chilrdens' day. A
day never to be forgotten by those
present. Much of the afternoon was
passed in recitations and songs by thf
children. It was a pleasant affair in
general ; the spirit of harmony and
good will prevailed. Tlm-o were
smiles on every face, even those who,
pcrhajM, had not smiled for 20 years.
It is to the Ladv Maccabees that we
are indebted loi this grand end
pleasant occasion, and we extend to
them our heartfelt thanks for the
effort which they have put forth to
gladden the hearts of those little
children and for their effort to bring
sunshine and gladuess Into the homes.
