July l!?2i. This is just the most wonderful old place I have ever seen. " I do wish i you could see It. I cannot describe it In the first place, it is so very, very large, simply huge. The wing of the place )u which we live is a very big thing by itself.^ but there is ever so much more of the palace. We have a room on the fourth floor. There | are two others in it besides myself, | Emilie Rose Knox and a |fiss Kathleen McCallister, who sjngp. It is a .nice big room, and we have a hig | closet. We have a plana in our room also. Only the girls live in the palace. The men live in various places out in town, but they have their meals I down nere ana pracute acre, uuu can stay until ten o'clock. The food is real good. We have breakfast at eight, lunch at twelve-thirty and din. ner at seven. The grounds are perfectly marvelous, lakes, flowers, tree&, and luvns and everything is kept so perfectly. 'I wtll send you some pictures. Mr. Chad wick took some flne ones with! his kodak, and I want to get some of them I wish I could describe it so that yon oould .get some idea of the place, but I cannot Mr. Casaresus speaks very little English, but he is just as nice as he can be. His son speaks Bnglish very well. I took a walk Sunday afternoon. I went In the Chinese Museum, which Is in the palace, and also the art gallery. They have quite a large collection of pictures. Monday morning I took a walk in Fontalnebleau. I went into the forest, and through town. etc. It is really quite a large place They have street cars here, too. The palace is right close to the business part of town, bat of course has a big fence around It, and part of the way a big wall. We have to be inside what they call the English Gardens altar nine oc'clock, and in. side the building after ten jp. m. It is light until nine o'clock; I guess It la because they ase^Uyligbt saving time. It was real -funny the way we had to keep turning our watches up to keep up with the time on the boat coming oter. ' - . . We got to Havre late Friday afternoon. We spent Friday ntght on the boat, and went to Paris Saturday morning. . We got there about one o'colck. They said we could not get our trunks until 3 o'clock. We went to the American Woman's Club in Paris, and then some of as went out a - A _ i. ana goi mncn at a uoin m r?u, We went down to the station to see about our trunks, and they told us we could not get them until Ave o'colck. We went back to the American Woman's Club, and later had tea there. One of the girls. Miss Lamunt went out to look for a friend In Paris. Somebody had told another one of the girls that it wonld probably be .six before we could get our trunks, so we did not hurry to get back down to the station. After having tea, we found out that the six-fifteen train was the last one out to Fontainebleau that night. Some of the girls started out walking to the station to see about their baggage. You see we had to change stations, and so we would'have had to transfer our trunks to the other station and check them to Fontainebleau. Well,- Miss Waite, Miss Knox and myself were still at the American Woman's Club. It was five-thirty, at least, and Miss Lamont had not returned. Miss Waite said she would not go off and leave her. Eipilie Rose and I got in a taxi, and started out for the other station. 1 left my trunk check with Miss Waite so that, if possible, ishe could get it and bring it when she came. Well, Emilie Rose and I just did catch the 6:15 train and after we were on it we did not know what station would be Fontainebleau. You see, the trains over here are different from our. They are divided up Into separate compartments for nine or ten people; instead of having a conductor come in and get your ticket, it is taken up after you leave the train. You should have seen Emille Rose asking some Frenchmen in French how many stations oerore KontaineDieau, or what was the last ODe before Fon(tain?bVeau. j She made !'iim under, stand, and he told us it was Bols le Roi. Finally one man ?aM he would be on and would let us know. We were in a third-class car, and it was packed. They helped us out and put our bags off 'or us, and we were in the city of Foutainebleau. There was a sign up telling students of this school to consult the "chef de sta tion.'.' Emilie Rose looked for him, but could not find hiu>. We got in a taxi and came to tbe palace. Mr. Casadesus came to greet us, also his son, and two ladles, who have charge \ '' ' Lad If* Auxiliary Pres.

Quite a large number were present to enjoy a very Interesting program, arranged and carried out by Circle No. 4. Mrs. M. H. Finney, leader. Business, Including roll call, minutes of the last 'meeting, treasurer's report, etc., was qiuckly disposed of, the president calling attention to funds collected by different circles as posted on the blackboard/ The young ladies' circle I No. 5 leading In the amount After a short scripture reading by Mrs. M. H. Finney followed by the Lord's Prayer and a hymn, Mrs. Robt. Chapman gave a splendid map study 'on Korea, pointing out the section of this country allotted tfce Southern Presbyterian church for evangel iza. tfon, and showing the location of the five Mission Schools under the supervision of this church. Her talk wab a most interesting one,, and was thoroughly enjoyed by tbe Auxiliary. A group of short witty paragraphs, depicting the characteristics and habits of the Koreans, given by six or eight members of this circle, was very amusing and entertaining. After a vocal solo, rendered by Mrs. Joe Lindsay, Miss Laura Inglis .read a letter written by a missionary to Korea, as published in one of the. church papers. Miss Ipglis, who al-j ways reads well, seemed in better form than t&ual, and all enjoyed her part of the program. The meeting was closed with pray er Dy Mrs. ueo. Mauoy. Birthday Party.

Well, it was fun Q n-vtuo V ? .. - , The other girls got here at mid night that night. Mlas Lament stayed over in 'Paris with her friend, so Mi&s W"aite left my trunk check with her. When Miss Lamont came on Sunday, she brought my trunk and I surely was glad to see it It did not occur to me to leave my trunk key with her, and she had quite a time getting it by the customs officer without having a key to open It. I think it was kwfully nice of her to gfi it?for me. July 7. It IT very cool here. Of course it gets warm in the middle of the day, ^ut in the morning and at night it ii almost cold.

It was called an examination, but all we had to do was to play for him so he could see what we could do. Of course there were several of us in there at the same time, and he took us one at a time.
