These letters represent the impressions of a keen observer. On Board "Carmania" September 7, 1928 There are at present thousands of us homeward bound. I know that I speak for the great majority when I say that the summer's benefits can- not be measured; lifetime impressions have been gathered in; we've had a glorious time, but sandwiched in with the fun and queer adventures, have been experiences that will stay with us always. There are those who scoff at the "Stop-Watch Tourist," but I speak from personal experience. We turn gladly homeward, of course, but we know well, each of us, that some day when our bank accounts have gotten their second wind we shall seek out some of those happy places once more. You cannot feel the glory of the Alps, meditate for an hour or two at Notre Dame, or tramp the hills of Devonshire, without receiving impressions that leave you a somewhat different indiv- idual than you were when you left the old home town. The haphazard way in which you are constantly meeting interesting and worth while people is another of the delights of the tourist trail. One plea- sant experience was meeting at the dining table on the homeward bound steamer with Doctor Lucius Porter, Professor of Philosophy at Pekin Uni- versity. Dr. Porter is well known in Winnetka and has been kind enough to grant me an interview for the TALK, which is published elsewhere in this issue. Rollin Pease of Evanston, the well known singer, was another passenger who helped us to have a good time on the way home. Then too, there was my delightful encounter with our own Frederick Stock at the breakfast table on the channel boat from Holland. Be- fore leaving for America I had the privilege of visiting an English coun- try home in Devonshire near Plymouth. I spent many happy hours exploring the streets of the historic old town and rambling about the lovely coun- tryside. Plymouth is a beautifully sit- uated city well worth a visit, especially by Americans of Pilgrim blood. Ap- narently there is something about Eng- lish air that makes one inclined to grow poetical ; at any rate the following verses were the result of one travel- ler's mood, as our ship pulled away from the shores of England: SONG OF DEVON Oh, good green land of the rolling hills, And grey rocks down to the sea, There's many a voyager wand'ring far, And yearning a bit to be Where roses climb on the old stone walls, And clouds drift low 'gainst the blue; Quiet and strong is the spell you weave, Devon, your hearts are true. And never the traveller passing by, Spent from a weary mile, But finds there a welcome deep and warm, If he stop on the road a while. And strength from the moors shall the strong winds blow, And gardens abloom will say-- "Rest you--tomorrow is years away'-- Devon, here's love to vou! Mrs. Wilson A.
