HOME FROM EUROPE
Mr. and Mrs. J. L, Bats and Children
Hid a Delightful Trip,
THEY TRAVELED OVER 15,000 MILES
No Miabaps to Mar the Trip-Sigh tn and
Scenes Reviewed—A Btirf and
Burned Talk.
Mr. Joseph L. Bass, accompanied by
his wife .and two little daughters.
Misses Louise and Susie Bass, returned
yesterday afternoon from an extended
European trip.
They left Rome May 24 and returned
Sept. 18, having been gone four months
lacking six days.
In every respect the trip was most de
lightful and enjoyable. Nearly 15,000
miles were covered without missing
trains or mishaps or any delays. Mr.
Bass and his daughters never suffered
in the least from sea sickness, and Mrs.
Bass only slightly for about a day on the
return trip. The health of all was ex
cellent for the entire time they were
away.
They went over on the “City of
Rome” and returned on the famous
ocean greyhound “Campania,” of the
Cunard line.
The countries visited were Scotland,
England, Belgium, Germany, Austria,
Italy, Switzerland and France.
As Mr. Bass did not get in until after
5 o’clock, and had many people waiting
to sle him, and many affairs of his ex
tensive business interests demanding his
attention, the Tribune could only get a
brief talk with him.
He seemed to be more impressed with
Vienna than any city he saw.
‘‘Paris was magnificent, bur. Rome and
its antiquities impressed me more. We
also visited Pompeii and Mount Vesu
vius.”
Mr. Bass spoke with pleasure of the
trip on the Rhine from Cologne to
Mayence. The fourth of July was spent
in Berlin where the party saw Misses
Lester and Frances Snell, of Rome, who
are studying music.
“How do you think the stores and
merchants of the old world compare with
those of America?”
“The biggest store across the water is,
I understand, in Glasgow, but I did not
visit it. In London, Peter Robinson &
Co. do the biggest business. In Paris is
the Bon Marche about which everybody
knows.
"No, I don’t think their stores or
merchants equal ours.
*‘l was treated fairly everywhere
and 1 don’t believe any man who
stands up for bis rights will be robbed
in that country, but of course they
try to get all they can out of tourists.”
“How about getting along in coun
tries where you could not speak the
language?”
“Some times we found it difficult,
but we stopped at the best hotels and
found they always had interpreters.”
“Did you see the Queen’s Jubilee?”
“Yes, we were very fortunate and
got excellent seats near St. Paul’s ca
thedral at $5 each. These had pre
viously been offered at sls and S2O
each. The parade was the grandest
in tne world’s history of royalty. The
most interesting feature were the
troops from the South African and
Australasian colonies. We saw the
Queen on two different occasions.
The English people love and respect
her very highly and they can certain
ly say. “Long live the Queen,”
Mr. Bass, also, talked very interest
ingly about Carlsbad and its wonder
ful waters. It had about 30,000 visi
tors while he was there in July at the
heighth of the season. He took time
to buy some dress gdods Germany and
laces in Brussels and Venice for his
stores in Rome, Atlanta and Griffin,
and to ship them in time to avoid the
increased tariff of the Dingley bill.
! ‘I received The Tribune while gone,
and I read it with great enjoyment.
It kept me posted on affairs while I
was away.
“I return home prouder than ever
of America, and had rather live in
Home than any place 1 have seen.
