AT LONDON Many Things of Interest and Importance Seen Miss Hattie Studabaker Writes Another Interesting Letter from Fashionable London. London. July 11. 1905. Dear Dade: The last few weeks I have been so busy and nad so little time for letter writing. I believe 1 wrote to I David a few week ago. I have written you four or five letters and am sorry if you have not received them. 1 think I owe Lou a letter, but hope that from now on will have a little more time for letter writing. Margaret and I are alone .now. Mrs. Ribertson. Mrs UllI man and Miss Waldo sailed on the “Grosser Kerfurst ’ Sunday, the 9th. for N. Y. Mrs. Btrkis" husband came over and met her Saturday, anu they are going to stay several months, but we will nut see them again. Hilda Lane is at her brother's and Mrs. Hyat is visiting friends. We thought it best for M and llogo to a boarding house and Hilla s brother gave us the address lof the place where be boarded for three years before he was married. He went to see and found it such a nice place. He had told the land lady about us and given us a card of introduction She bad saved a loom for us until the day before, but thought we were not coming and had given it to some one else \Ve were so sorry. She gave us the address of har sister who lives a few squares away and keeps a boarding house, and here we are. I forgot to say that several days earlier we went to the address Dick gave me and found the bousa vacant. This house is comfortable and a very nice class of people are staying here, but it has not all the neatness we would like, and little variety ia and we have great app tites. There are about twenty I boarders here Several American families, tethers, mothers and daughters, two English families, a German, four Japs and ourselves | Two of the J ips are young ladies who have been attending college in the Unitel States, at Wellesley, and have stoppe i here on their way home. They aie quite like ameni uwo o-lleqe girls exespt forth nr

Every morning they take their Baedeker's guide book J and start out to tee the sight*, jnet a* M and Ido Tao Jap men are not with them but each I* engaged in business here We often think of “all Japs alike,’’ but each of these is quite different from the other. We like the girl* rather better It is all quite an exjierienoe for u» Sometime* v.e say to each other, alter leaving the table, where the English people have probably had a little conversation together. ’lt sounds ju*t like a book, don't it?" Thatj- it ie quite like the conversation in English bank*. The mannerism* in speech. But it is 0 >ming tn oontaot with the English psople and learning their habit* of thought. Every place we go in the town we Hud people obliging and kindly until we have come to think an Englishman is naturalv gn-'d natured. and it is the exception when be ie cross or illnatured I hope a further acquaintance will c infirm this opinion. We have had lovely weather, except some very hot days and several thunder showers Sunday I find I have written a long letter and not a word . about what 1 sat down to t-*ll you, but just got to telling you the little things and went on visting without . realizing it. Whit I wanted to tell about was ■ >nr attending memorial service for late Secretary John Hav at St. Paul's cathedral last Wednesday. The king sent a representative and went t> the race* at Henly) the Lord Mayor and staff in gorgeous regalia, foreign ambassadors and any notable people were present. About 3000 in all, manv Americans. The archbishop of Canterburv took part in the service. There was the most beautiful music. Also about our trip to Windsor, today. It 522 mil®* out.
