EUROPEAN TOUR
HAPPILY ENDED.
Miss Chase Gives Interesting Ac
count of he Sojourn in
Europe.
Wednesday morning at 8.30 Ex-sen
ator D. O. Chase, with a small party
of friends, boarrled the tug Media and
started for the Sandy Hook Lightship,
where they met the Holienzollern.
From there, they kept beside the big
ship until thoy reached Hoboken,
where Mr. Chase had the pleasure of
greeting his daughter Lulu personally
for tne first tiin« since June 6. All
along the way to Hoboken her friends
were calling out to her from the boat
across the deep. Mr. Chase was de
lighted to see his daughter, for he had
missed her greatly in his home, which
she had the entire management of be
fore going abroad.
Miss Chase had sailed from Italy on
the Princess Irene as tar as Gibraltar,
and from there on the Holienzollern.
The party on the tug Media met the
big ship at 12.30 and arrived from
their return trip at 6.30 p. m. in South
Amboy.
The correspondent was favored with
an interview Thursday evening at
Miss Chase's home and found her in
the midst of many handsome souvenirs
from the different countries she had
visited. Mr. Chase is a very pleasing
host, genial and courteous, making
one feel perfectly at ease and at home.
His daughter, Miss Lulu, is a very
charming young lady, a pretty blonde.
She was beautifully gowned in white
and wore a handsome white silk
shawl with fringe a foot in depth,
over her shoulders, one of the soi
venirs she had brought with her. She
said she had rough weather on the
voyages, but had been fortunate to
escape the terrible seasickness which
attacked most of the other voyagers,
and was able to go to the dining room
and partake of the several courses of
food and enjoy them. She had met
some charming people on the trips.
Miss Chase sailed on the Cimric the
fifth ot June and arrived at London,
England, first. She had a young lady
school friend with her and another
friend as chaperone, Mrs. F. Mason
Perkins, of Ciana, Italy.
They visited England, France, Bel
gium, Germany, Switzerland, Italy,
Greece and Spain. They also made a
little trip to Moravia. After they
arrived in Italy their chaperone’s
husband became ill and she was com
pelled to leave the young ladies witli
a party of seven friendB of the chaper
one, who joined them and went with
them to Greece and Spain. Miss
Chase was delighted with Italy and
Spain. She thought the people par
ticularly fascinating, the latter, espec
ially.
While at Madrid she 'witnessed a
bull fight and saw six bulls^ killed.
At first it seemed too horrible to be
enjoyed, but after a while its effect
irmol* r1omAi*oli'7inrf onil if cntn n 11 a f
lost its horror for her. She pitied the
poorjiorses more than she did the
bulls, for after being terribly gored,
they would be wrapped up and brought
out again. Altogether she had quite
^ an eventful trip. At the isthmus of
the Arabic Sea she witnessed the
wreck of the North German Lloyd
steamer among the arehipeligoes. She
also saw a violent eruption of Mount
Vesuvius, of which her description
was very graphic. While in Sicily
there was a severe earthquake, but
being in Syracuse, she only felt the
shock.
Mr. Chase was terribly alarmed at
that time, having read of it and know
ing his daughter was there, he was
looking for a cablegram with bad
news, but fortunatelv did not receive
any.
Whil# visiting Greece and Spain
. they remained on board of the boat,
■ e^ine and sleeping there instead of
1 da shore. They were on the boat two
weeks and delicious grapes and cur
rants wore brought on board which
were used for drying, as raisins, etc.
The souvenirs, which Miss Chase
brought with hor, consisted of very
beautiful Spanish lace and drawn
work, Majolica vases, bronze statu
ettes, Oriental embroidery, coral and
Venetian beans, Toledo damascene
work, Pompeian silver and glass,
antique lamps, and several other
articles. There was a musical instru
— ment made of turtle shell, wliicn the
natives at Angiers, Moravia, play on,
and tobaooo pouches, worn by natives,
silk bags. A large handmade tray,
copper work, and slippers for Mr.
Chase and herself, very handsome,
ga<jii as were worn in a Harem she
visited. The fans she brought were
very handsome. One, an immense
affair, was a souvenir of the bull
fight, which was in honor of the Vir
gin’s birthday. I had almost forgot
ten some old African swords which
she prized very highiy for their anti
quity and peculiarity ot shape. Mr.
Chase was perfectly delighted with
the souvenirs, and also at having his
daughter home with him, safe and
well.

partment and P. F. Eenah for assist

WEATHER IS FICKLE.
A great many of the borough resi
dents are suffering with heavy colds,
probably caused by the fluctuating
state of the weather. One day it is
cold enougli for overcoats and the
next day warm enough for one to
leave off undercoats even. Some
people have started from one Bide of
the borough very comfortable without
a wrap and when they reach the other
side shiver for want of one. There’s
no trusting the weather any more.
