A letter from George Steele, assistant headmaster at the Choate School, Wallingford, Conn., contains a paragraph on his European trip, as follows: "As a matter of fact, I rather imagine it would be hard to duplicate. The three of us were very congenial, found Paris as interesting as ever, and then started for Switzerland. I still have your trip as you outlined it for me. That will hold when I become more a gentleman of leisure than I am at present. Of course nothing is more marvelous than arriving at Venice at midnight, approaching the Danelli in a gondola—and in the moonlight! How- ever, that which made a very real appeal was a gorgeous motor trip through the Dolmites and the Bavarian Alps on the way from Venice to Oberammergau. There we became real American tourists, saw the Passion Play, and mighty glad that I have it as a memorynothing could be more worth while. Then we went modern and flew from city to city over Germany—enjoying Munich and its beer—not to mention its yodellers, Nuremberg and Rothenberg with their sheer charm, and a fortnight in Berlin. Berlin was doubly interesting because we had friends living there. That meant contacts a bit different than one can ordinarily make on a trip. All in all it was a mighty good time; and in this year of depression I think I'll stay in the old U. S. A."

Some of us are still busy, as shown by the following paragraph from Pop Warren in Orange, Mass.: "I am still on the job trying to devise ways and means to make Minute Tapioca in forty-five instead of sixty seconds.
