Miss Adkins Has Fine Paper
Hammond Schoolteacher Tells Wednesday Night of Trip to Spain
Club Members
Miss Alta Adkins, principal of the
Irving school, last evening charmed a representative gathering at the Wednesdtv Night club with a paper
dealing with reminiscences, her own, of
Southern Spain. She visited the scenes,
of which she read about five years ago, Mr. and Mrs. M. Rothschild of this
city having also been In the party.
Upon the completion of her paper, both
Mr. and Mrs. Rothschild added some of their experiences and impressions
which they had received during their travels.
Miss Adkins began her reminiscences
with the landing at Gibraltar. Her
paper, although worthy of repetition
here, cannot be given in its entirety
for lack of room, but a few sentences from it here and there can b given to show the spirit which touched the visitors, and what some of the impres
sions were that should leave such reminiscences as to give a cultured audience as that of last evening such pleasure.
The Hook of (Jlbrnltar. "It is with the spirit of interest in tho beauties of nature and the life of man that we set forth from our own country to brave tho uncertainties of the briny deep. The firmness of Gibraltar affords unlimited satisfaction after nine days of tossing about. The ock lies there 1.500 feet, lion-like in its strength, unassailable by man and seemingly so by nature. A pass Is given by which we may enter the town and, with the assistance of a guide, a tour through some of the tunnels of the rock may be made. At short distances apart along the tunnel are openings in which cannon are placed, looking out over the broad blue sea Jealously guarding the interest of England. As we climb higher and higher Inside the rock views from the vantage point become more and more beautiful. A Spanish Kicine. "The Spaniards are fond of excus

that, when the English troops were

"We are glad our train goes slowly, we want time to see the scene is all 6o new. We are passing great vineyards, to whose fruitage many parts of the world look forward, and groves of fig trees, olive, almond pomgranate and cherries. Here and there we see a little stream, its sides lined with pink bushes of oleanders. There In the fields bright red poppies add their" charm. Fnnnlns la Primitive. "How small the fields of grain are, but such a heavy crops. At one moment for lack of area, perhaps. We can scarcely believe our eyes where there in a field we see men cutting wheat with scythes. They thrash it out by three donkeys, for we had seen one at It. In another field a man was using a wooden plow, what would they think if a Dakota threshing outfit were put down In their midst. "We see the tiny houses on the farms as we go by. They are of cement and have tile roofs, but no windows. Near the house is a little rounded heap of cement where the charcoal wherein the bread is baked. In a creek some women are washing olothes.
