LONDON. Sept. l.-To the Editor of
The Bee: After three weeks of Jaunting
about through Scotland, England, Ireland
and Wales we are again In London.
While we do not make much difference to
London. It makes a lot of difference to
us where we are. and we are heartily glad
to be her.
A tour of the "British Isles" used to
mean a trip to England, possibly Scotland;
but It now means Ireland, too. and raized
with tbe thousands of Americans who go
over are many English people, who "run
across." as they call It, Just to look at
their "small child." But Ireland Is no
longer a "small child." It Is a buxom and
"aspiring eolleen," who, having shaken off
the "rags and tatters" of a too long
adored past. Is strpplng out Into the
calcium light of a new era, and with a
cheerful face trying to utilise Its oppor
tunities. The people- of Ireland, especially the
hotel men, are beginning to "expect" the
"breesy folks from the States" and with
rare Instinct are making "coffee" that so
nearly resembles the old-fashioned "home
brew" that the cronlo grumbler who will
go to Europe has to resort to the
"weather" to unload his woes. The
weather, I regret to record, seems to be
always "on top" and ready upon all oc
easlons). The real fact Is, there la a wide
choice of beverages, any one of which
can be bad to start the day with, and la
always brought cheerfully aired with a
blessing, so that if one does not like Ire
land It must be their own fault
A Stormy Voyage.
W crossed the channel at Stranraer,
landing at Lame, 'Twas night and storm
ing, and the boat rolled like a bucket and
for a oouple of hours there was very little
conversation. After landing at Lame we
had forty-five minutes on a train to Belfast,
and the little cars wriggled about like a
cork on the Irish sea, so that when we were
at our hotel there were reasons for being
thankful.
We liked Belfast. It Is clean and a brisk
business city, representing the Industries of
Ireland. The distilleries are very extensive
and well worth a visit; the rope works, the
greatest anywhere and wonderful; (he
linen weaving and "manufacture of muslin
and woolen prints" is very interesting, and
the embroideries and lace very artistic, ani
all alive and going ahead with a quickened
Interest, which Is an Indication of Ireland's
progress.
The fine embroideries are done almost
wholly In the homes, and under conditions
that would dishtarten an American girl who
had her living to make, for the little
"shacks" in which most of Ireland's poor
abide have none of the necessities, not to
speak of comforts of home, from an Amer
ican standpoint. The wonder of It all Is
that such beautiful work can be done un
der such adverse conditions. But, thanks
to some of England's most noble women,
there are movements on foot to Improve
these conditions. Schools are being estab
Ushel all through the east and south of the
Island, where the girls can be more properly
taught, and may do their work under more
favorable circumstances.
Life la Dahlia.
Dublin is a sort of Washington city for
Ireland, and when Parliament Is In session
It gathers together there Its "beauty and
Its chivalry," and It la said that gaelly
nelgns supreme. During our stay we turned
our attention to ths city Itself and found
It satisfactory. The liver LJffey cuts the
town In two. and the publlo buildings, which
compare favorably with any In the King
dom, are on either aide of the stream, Ttv.
streets are broad and well paved and the
mansions and rows, as the residences are
called, are well built and many of tbem
magnificent. One of the most attractive
things about the entire country over here
is the moss-covered walls that shut out the
publlo everywhere.
Dublin Is modern, more so than on
might expect to find It, from Its antiquity,
and le bo enchanting in many ways that
one forgets their disappointment that the
rows of old buildings are not made of
"wattles and mud." While no technical de
scription of a building can make one real
ize the effect produced by a sight of Its
architectural beauty, old "Trinity college"
looked like a fine pile of buildings, and the
front, opposite the Parliament, is the best.
The entrance porticos are of Ionic order,
and the chapel, theater, examination halls,
dining halls and library, are all Interesting
in their way. The library contains 200,000
volumes, some of them rare editions, all
well preserved. Two of Trinity's Illustrious
graduates, well known to fame, are repre
sented In marble, and adorn the front en
closureOliver Ooldsmlth and Edmund
Burke.
If any on likes looking through fine
buildings, the Royal Exchange, Christ
Church cathedral, the Four Courts. Cus
tom House, Postoffice or National Gallery,
all of which are splendid buildings, will
repay any Interest taken or effort made
and one gets the "glad hand" in any of
them, for tbe Irish people like Americana
and believe In demonstrating it while we
are alive.
The Nelson Pillar is in feet high. If you
climb up you will be glad of it afterward,
tor the view la very One. The Wicklow
hills, and the coast line, way below Bray's
Head, are easily discerned, and Dublin
bay la wonderfully beautiful from there.
I looked In upon No. 30 Merrlan Row,
where the duke of Wellington was born,
and In the Royal academy saw Patrick's
bell and many other antiquities, drove
through Phoenix park, and left Dublin
with more regret than a year ago. but with
a bop that I might make another "fare
well visit."
For natural loveliness ut teener, (nixed
with stories of Interest and unfailing
charm, there Is nothing In Ireland to sur
pass the tour to the lakes of Killarney,
no matter which route one takes. At this
season It Is simply glorious. The hay Is
being stacked and small grains threshed
out, and the golden fields and green pas
tures, alternating with fields of vegetables
and flowers, with the hills covered with
the heather In full bloom, presents a
moslac, and whether seen from car, coach
top or carriage window. Is like a moving
picture, and for real beauty could not be
exceeded anywhere. It is so replete with
scenic charm that It cannot be described
within the limits of an ordinary letter, but
as some one has said, "It Is a good thing
to use your eyes," Incessantly.
The weather over here is very much like
we have at home at times and we have
seen the beauties of Ireland In a pouring
rain, many times "chilled to the bone,"
hungry and cross, but were nearly always
Jostled Into a good humor, and our Interest
always exceeded any discomfort The drive
from Killarney to Glengaiiff is the finest
In "his majesty's dominions," 'tis said, and
'tis true, for here nature has been lavish
with its gifts and beauty confronts one
everywhere. Upon the surface of the water
the mountains are reflected, and Upon the
bills some ruin, with Its ages of moss and
Ivy, recalls the tales of the O'Sulllvans
and O'Learya, and the whole scene Is rich
with associations, adventure and daring.
The Gap of Dunloe, with Its overhanging
rocks, out of which trees and shrubs,
mosses and Ivy grow In such abundance,
la one of the sights of this drive, and the
Kenmare estate, one of the largest In Ire
land, near the town of Kenmare, la on the
way.
In one of the many tunnels through which
our drive took us we narrowly escaped a
catastrophe. The system of etlquet that Is
now In use by the tourists and drivers la
that the "first one Into a tunnel Is to give
a 'whoop' and Is to keep It up until he la
fairly In sight oa the other side," and our
driver not only complied w.lth the rule,
"yelling" out In a shrill tenor, but was re
inforced by a chorus of eighteen frightened
women, some In men's clothing, but the
geatluuaa from Chicago and his "showfer"
rushed right in and scraped the sides of
our coach as he crushed through. Had
our driver not been cool-headed he could
not have controlled the four horses. How
ever, there was not a line of profanity,
none of the women fainted and nothing was
lost, except the number of the motor car.
When we were fairly out of the hill "we
all took tea," which was banded to us by
a smiling "colleen," and were soon on our
way to Cork.
Activity of Cork.
The county of Cork certainly lives up to
one's expectations of it and seems to be
rolling in plenty and improving In many
ways. The whole county of Cork Is under
one government, the city of Cork being the
center and the lord mayor the head of the
town council. It Is the best lighted town
In the kingdom and has a splendid street
car service, from which we concluded that
the two members of Parliament from Cork
represented their constituency tolerably
well, as well as Improved their own prop
erties. Cork grows rapidly and Is an up-to-date
town. Queen's college, overlooking the
sea. has an Imposing situation. The build
ing is after the old "Tudor style" and tho
residents of Cork are very proud of this
tine old school. It Is open to all without
reference to their religion, and embraces,
besides the elementary branches of study,
those of the classics, science, law, medicine
and engineering, and has excellent apart
ments and halls for study.
Am Irish Kltcaea.
We drove out to Blarney, and while
others of the party explored the castle and
sought the far-famed stone, I walked about
the village and sought an opportunity to
get a look Into a real typical Irish kitchen,
which is the whole thing when one speaks
of an Irish home.
Blarney 1 built around a little square
called the "Green," which Is fenced In by
an Iron railing, and almost every house la
a shop at which one can buy something. I
Invested a few pennies In apongecak and
postal cards and was Invited to look Into
tbe house, which vaa a privilege I had
sought. Tbe open cubbara- with Its rows of
old-fasbloned plates and pitchers would
look like a lot of Junk anywhere else, but
her they wsr all right. The floor was of
stones laid upon the ground, wet In places,
and not too clean, and the walls were black
with smoke. Fiom the ceiling a cage bung
and a bird twittered In a friendly tone, ex
changing greetings with a hen that had
brought her "brood of broilers" In out of
the rain, and with them had huddled to
gether In the middle of the place. There
was an old picture on one side of the wall,
as black as a Rembrandt and as homely as
Henry VIII, which my hostess assured me
waa "her great-great-grandfather," who
had onre been "keeper of the keys of the
castle" In the time of the MacCarthys. The
story waa interestingly told and all suited
the place.
I shall not soon forget that old kitchen.
The fireplace and old warped fender and
bits of smouldering peat and the queer
looking little black pots, an old "dual
table," a wooden bench, a low stool qr
two, and the bit of muslin curtain stretched
across tho one window, and the hen und
her chickens chattering so sociably In the
middle of the floor, made a homely pic
ture. I inquired "where they slept" and
waa told that the beds were put upon the
floor usually, but when it was "wet" they
made "other arrangements,'' and In a tone
without a shade of discontent.
As we drove back to town, I tried
to recall what I knew of Cork
beside the Blarney and remembered that It
was noted for "good butter," and It is only
fair' to say there is "none better" any
where. I can understand now how Dr.
Livingstone came to find a "butter hogs
head" In the Interior of Africa marked
"From Cork."
We lived at the Imperial hotel, and upon
Its register are found the names of Mr.
and Mrs. Howard Mould, Mr. Vanderbllt.
Mr. Chauncey Depew and H. R. H. Prince
Ft rices of Teik, H. R. II. Duke of Con
naught and H. R. H. Crown Princess of
Austria, who had stopped there one time
or another. And yet it Is a good hotel.
We left Cork for Dublin and crossed the
Irish sea to Holyhead, spent a few days
at Chester, one at 8tratford-on-Avon, and
Wortck, another at Leamington and Kenll
worth, on at Oxford, and will remain in
Loudon a few days, before going to Hol
land. Will sail for New York about Octo
ber 1.
Mr. William Paxton, who Is at the Cecil,
called upon us In the morning. He sails
on Saturday for New York. Mr. and Mrs.
Whitmore and Miss Eugenie are at the
Victoria, and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Mc
Connell are at Morley'a hotel, Trafalgar
Square. ROSE E. STRAWN.
