Fontainebleau, France.
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

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

this country allotted tfce Southern

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

I surely was glad to see it It did

the South Carolina Good .{loads Asso- -v
Ration, extending into e^ery county
In the atate, will be launched at once,
L. D. Jennings!' of Sumter, president 'ft
of the ^ssoclatfbn said today. An or- . ^
ganlzatlon will b^.'perfected In every,
county in the state jpnd an intensive
effort mnHp in gpnnrA- lftcriitlatlnn at
the next sesslo nof the general As
sembly liking to the' inauguration ot ' /
a program of road.buildfng on
scale in this state, he said.
"It is the decision of the officers of
the aBsociatfi>n that our first step y ..
must be organization," said Mr. Jennings,
"We want to enroll in our
organization every progressive map
and woman in South Carolina who\
feels that the state should have 'a Vjj
system of permanent Wgh waya?V.y a; ' .
"There are, as we see it, ten very
strong reasons why South Carolina
should have permanent state highways:
j '
. "First, because the, present ipgde? v i j
luate Rystem of public roads in 9tmth
Carolina constitutes our greatest eco.
lowic drain. Good roads are an as.
jet, bad roads are a liability.
"8ocond, because the success of the
tgriquiturai, industrial, economic and
jocial life of our state depends largey
upon transportation?railroads apd
itate highways. ;
"Third, the introduction of the autonobile
tad the motor truok lias rapid y
changed the character of travel.
Itate highways are absolutely heceslary
to meet these changed conditions.
"Fourth, state highways will mean
mnroved school facilities more
ihurches, better farms, quicker com.
ulurtication, reduction 'in cost of
ransportatlon and generally improV.
>d conditions?moral, social and
economical. , 'M
"Fifth, because a complete system
)f state highways wijl carry light ino
dark plaoes, build up and . improve
he morals of our citizens and Induce
rood people to settle in our midst.
"Sixth, because we toast l^bk be-^ &/L
rond the county line?state con.
itruotion and maintenance* make tor
>road vision and hfgh ideais. The
>iedmont section of the state should
3e linked with the .coastal section
ind the 'Pee Dee?we should i*ow
>ach other better. ' ''?/ ' v >; -;'
"Seventh, because highway/ conitructed
and maintained by tifre state
nean equal privielges to all,'special
privileges to and will lay the
foundation for the development of
. .. 'J -ijFi. . _ ,
>ur ruraji wwicir, rowos. ciow ami
commercial. -Renters.
"Eighth, because prosperity U headid
our way and it is absolute#- necjssary
that the state provide a fund '
for Federal aid to be able to take v|
idvanta^e of the government's offer
>f Federal aid. All other statejs are
Tia/Idng simple preparations glor.g
;hat line.
? " * > *
TNlnth, because more and *>etter
oads can be ^rollt an<$ pfroperjjr
Maintained by the state than through
ocal units. County umd townships
iVill never proyGfe a complete sysem,
such as is needed by the state.
"Tenth, because every individual
n the sthte of South parollna
jenefit directly or indirectly fum a
itate system of public roads and,
herefore, should conJtrtbute towards
heir construction.
"South Carolina must' go forward.
It cannot go forward without a state
system of. permanent fctj^rohya. W? ,
