Writes of Trip
to the Land of
the Egyptians
Victor Purviance Tells of Interesting
Experience in One of the Old
est of World's Nations.
Mrs. A. D. Aseh brought us the
following letter from her great
nephew, now traveling to Mediter
ranean ports:
Haifa, Palestine, Asia.
May 2, 19.17.
While sight seeing in Xaples. I
went to Pompeii. Amalfi. and Sorento,
and a very beautiful trip it is. Was
not particularly impressed witli
Pompeii, as everything worth while
j has been taken from there, most of
iit to the Xational Museum at Xaples.
The Amalfi Drive is quite justly one
ot the most famous in the world, and
jl was with a brilliant professor of
the buildings as we went along.
Cairo was the big thrill, though.
I went down by plane, ninety miles
over the fabulously fertile Nile Delta,
and at times over the desert.- And
just after leading Emil Ludwig's

j Then a bee line over the desert, an
awful lot of it, and the motor at one s
elbow roars its contrast with the
I bugs of camels below, until Cairo
comes at one suddenly, and a sweep is
imade out toward the pyramids, as
' the pilot makes a circle of the field to
come up wind. It was a bang the
glamour wasn't gone for an instant.
In Cairo I know many of the hotel

'.very good friend Paul of the Metro-
i politan was marvelous to me. Eu
ropean hotel men are as tar aneau
of Americans as our hotels are ahead
physically.
I did not miss a thing. Saw the
National Museum, the Citadel of
Mahomet Ali, the prison of Joseph
(I went to the bottom of that, and
what a climb up), and of course a
camel to the pyramids. Fortunately
this one could run. and not merely
trot, and I felt properly "T. E. Law
rence." The Sphinx was what im
pressed me, my question being not
why Caesar sent his men on to be
alone with it, but why Napoleon shot
the off his nose! Also Mina House (Bar
bara Hutton had gone), and the Semi
Mmij where the potentates stay,
ghepherds native quarters, native

by men who know Hospitality in a
country where two pounds ($10.00)
is from! monev for native help. It is
j impossible to light one's own cig-
iarctte in hotels there. Attention and
service for all of one's wants.
The plane back, of course, had
shed its aura. But it saved three
hot. dirty hours on the train.
Pardon all the verbose letter, but
it was a real thrill.
