Decatur Girl Writes Interesting Letter On Recent Trip To Cuba

Following is a letter received by the Misses Martha Erma Butler, Barbara and Phyllis Krick from Miss Helena Rayl, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. C. C. Rayl of this city, who recently enjoyed a trip to Cuba. Miss Rayl is a student at Stephens College. Columbus, Missouri, and she with 100 other students of the college, made the student tour under the direction of Mr. Davis, associated with school and former ambassador to Panama, and Miss Jurz, dean of women at the college. The letter, which gives a fine description of the places visited, follows: "Dear Martie. Kricket and Phil, and all the gang: Well, here I am hack at school after the most exciting experience in my life. I had just a perfect time! I'm afraid the tropics have me! “We left ’ March 5 on the train for New Orleans. The next day we boarded the S. S. Contessa and started down the Mississippi. At about nine o’clock we hit the Gulf and it was rather rough. More fun! No one could walk straight and it ' Was the strangest feeling. “The Gulf is the most gorgeous color of dark blue I have ever seen. It was so much fun on the ship. We had it all to ourselves, ft seemed more like a private yacht. We could do anything we liked. There were games we could play; we could swim in the pool or sun bathe, and best of all we had 12 course meals. We had a couple nights of rough weather at which time the deck chairs were roped to the side and the side boards on the tables put up. “At 5 o’clock March 8 we saw the lights of Havana. It was so thrilling! We all went sight seeing in big open touring cars. Our driver, Beleachee, was a Cuban but he spoke English fairly well except when he became excited. The streets are just wide enough for one car and doors of wood and Iron open out on the walks. Even in the poorer districts, there is often Mosaic decorations on the floors and walls. They all have gorgeous iron work. The people in the slums are very black and they all yelled at us in Spanish. The homes out farther are regular palaces or mansions. I have never seen more beautiful homes anywhere! “In the afternoon we were taken to LaCasa Grande, the largest department store. However, it was] rather small in comparison to ours. | We stayed there a little while and

■, then decided to start out for the ' , . I famous Sloppy Joe's Bar. On the 1 j i i way down, one of the girls wanted. | .| to buy a toothbrush so we proced-! i , ed in trying to make the clerk un-, i ( derstand what we wanted. We , made all kinds of motions and be-!, . I fore it was over and the purchase < . I made, quite a large crowd had |' ’■gathered and everyone was talk-1 .ling at once. More fun! We finally! I got there just in time for a picture, j !! It is really nothing at all to look 1 i at —a long old fashioned bar, ' ' chairs and the wails lined with ; shelves of liquor. We waited until ’ 1 our pictures were developed and ■ then raced out to the Havana ‘ : Yacht Club, a very exclusive club. ! President Roosevelt’s daughter had [ I been there just the day before. It i 1 . ■ was quite an unexpected pleasure ' 1 and the only reason we got to go!' > ’ was because of Mr. Davis. He is ' very well known around there hei ' cause he was ambassador to Pana- ■' . ma a few years ago and is loved ;' I by everyone there. “It was a beautiful building and I ! the swimming was fine. However, ’ 1 . the salt was plenty strong. On the | 1 t way hack we stopped and bought . 1 lone dozen of roses for five cents. ;; “That night we had a formal din- ( : ner and went riding. Havana is so | romantic at night. We finally end-: . ed at San Sovie. an open night:' ■ club. It was so perfect. The trees i , were strung with lights, a little j ■ pond was at the side, and an al- 11 i most full moon and a Cuban orch- 1 ! estra. Cuban boys were introduc-1 1 . ed to us — some could hardly ; i speak English at all. , “We arrived in Cristobal, Pana- 1 • ma about 6:30 March 12 and went > sight seeing in the morning. The 1 ■ city is divided in half; one side 1 , called Cristobal — the American 1 ; side, and the other side Celon. — ’ - the Panama side. Panama as a ' whole is somewhat more modern ’ | than Havana although the slums < j are nearly the same. We got the I most gorgeous wild jasmin. The ' ■; driver got it along the road side. ' ! We also saw a rather large lizard 1 1 I equana. The people eat like chick1 ens. We visited the Panama Canal t I and saw a ship go through part i way, very interesting. It was being < cleaned oil one side and you really ' can’t realize how large it is. “After lunch we went by train t to Panama City and saw tha Pacif- s ic Ocean, glittering gold altar in t St. Joseph’s church and the ruins < of Old Panama. Some of my ances- f ! tors. Sir Henry Morgan’s work. t "President Arias of Panama is a ( * very good friend of Mr. Davis so v

he Invited us to his palace for a reception. It was a large stone building that looked more like a bank on the outside. Soldiers guarded the door. It was really a palace inside—a fountain, balconies, hanging .vines and trained birds. The reception room was all in gold. The President is a little man, very nice. We each met him personally and he talked to a group of us later. His 13 year old daughter and niece were also there. His daughter is adorable. And guess what — champaign was served! It was delicious! Os course Mr. Davis had not expected this but we just couldn’t refuse the president. “We then went to a reception for Mr. Davie at the Union club, an exclusive club for high society. It was lovely. I danced witn some of the high officers of something — very nice. “About 6 o’clock we raced over to the Central Hotel and put on our formals and came back for dinner or banquet. It was so heavenly thrre besides the ocean. The people followed us down to the train and waved goodby. Then we preceded back to Cristobal to the ship. : “The next morning we went ! shopping — shops were all foreign and you had to Jew everyone I down. The next day we arrived in i Peurto Cabigas, Nicaraugua. It is 1 a tiny stopping off place. The I country is dull, barren and deeo- ! late. ,1 should go cmzy living there. ' The buildings were all gray frames strung out along two mud roads. We walked to the Foreign Club, a larger building than the rest. Ev1 eryone had a day’s vacation because we came. Ships very seldom stop. There are only 18 white people there. Some of the girls stayed and danced, other went swimming and the rest of us went up town (if you could call it that). I bought a darling gold filagree ring. The natives make this jewelry inland and bring it to port, to sell. Some of it is gorgeous. We walked around and left in a couple of hours. "Friday we docked in Honduras, Ceiba. It is really the country of my dreams! It looked like a picture of the South Sea Islands. We went 25 miles inland by train through the jungle — real jungle. Tall trees, low underbrush entangled in vines. One could never get through so it seems. The posts they use for fences sprout roots and heavy the loveliest pink blossoms. The country side is beautiful — purple mountains in the distance. Suddenly 1 saw’ about five native women coming through the jungle carrying very large pails of water on their heads. It looked very strange. Soon we came to a

stop at a real native village. There was a group of mud huts with thatched roofs, naked, black children ran toward us. The only word they knew was "money.’’ The woui« men were rather short and stocky, many of them carrying large bundles of wood on their heads and when they saw us they ran, threw down their bundles and raced into their huts screaming at us. The women seemed to hale us und they ran everytime they saw a camera. We wandered around trying to take pictures of them when they were not looking. They had a perfect place to live, there in the Jungle, beside the ocean: white sand beach dushing waves, palm trees, so ideal. It was all exactly as I have seen in movies. I never realized such people existed. We went back to Cleba and walked through the stores which were fairly modern inside. "Saturday night we had a masquerade on the ship und a treasure hunt. Have quite a nice tun. Lund ed in New OtTeuns March 18, went through customs and sight seeing there for an hour. Very nice but kept comparing it with Havana. Was bad for New Orleans. 1 hated to leave that dear old Contessa after living in it for two weeks. It was all so perfect. I wish you all could have gone too. "I hope you enjoy this. At least it will give you a little idea of the beauties of the tropics. “Hope yon are all well. Write and tell me everything. Love. Helena.” o COUNCIL MAKES CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE ceived none.

Reggie On Spot In “Midnight” Suppose you Were foreman of u Jury. Through your itifluence, a woman la being sent to the electric chair for murder. Then your own daughter commits the identical crime. Will you condemn her also? Or will you try to evade the law to save her life? O. P. Heggie, the distinguished character actor, Is confronted with ■these questions in "Midnight," Universal'* exciting drama which comes to the Madison theatre for three days aturtlng Sunday. Heggie plays the role of an average American businessman, father of a family, who suddenly becomes notorius because of his action as jury foreman in a murder trial. He thinks he has acted rightly in helping convict the woman. But on the night she is to be electrocuted. hie own daughter confesses herself a murderess! How this unique situation turns out is skillfully revealed in "Midnight.” Besides O. P. Heggie, the east of stage and screen stars includes Sidney Fox. Henry Hull, Humphrey Bogart, Margaret Wycheriy and Lynn Overman. Under the directing hand of Chester Erskin, who produced the film, the suspense of the story builds up steadily to an original, startling climax. “Midnight" is the picturization of the famous Theatre Guild play, by Claire and Paul Sifton. —advt.
