In front of it are Out on the desert, God's broad plain, some fountains and a statue of Bismarck.

It is in memory of the To that sweet goal where love's dear race is won. victories won over the French. We walked from here down the Victory Avenue.

I was disappointed in this street, as I had heard so much abwut it and was expecting more than I got The trees look like they have just been put in lately, and are too small to give as much shade as is necessary to make it real pleasant. At the top of this street is an arch that was at one dme the gate to a wall. On top of this arch is a bronze chariot that rep resents victory. This chariot was captured by the French some years ago and placed on the Triumphal Arch in Paris but was later taken back to Germany. Next we went to the panorama and saw the destruction of Pore Arthur and a reguThere were about lar battle on the sea. twelve little war vessels about ten or twelve feet long. They were built just like war so and we got a pretty good idea of ships, naval battles. From there we got a car and took a lovely car ride through Grunewald, green forest, which is the piincipal residence part of the city. It is very pretty out there, and there are some lovely homes. On our way back we s opped at the Terrassen an Halensee, which is a large building built in the Egyptian style. It is real odd, but pntty, and of a summer resort. The building is a sort is used for a restaurant, the gardens are lovely and there is a large bathing pond near. The next day we went to the art galleries. First we went to the new art gallery, which is very nice and has some lovely pictures in it. Then we went to the old one which has mostly all statues in, there wasn't much to it, and I thought most of the statues were hideous. Then we went to the largest store in Germany. It was a lovely store and I saw lots of things which I wouldn't have minded having, but of course I couldn't have everything I wanted, and so I didn't buy anything. Next we went to the Art Exhibit. Most of the pictures there were the new art, and I liked some of them very much. They had rooms furnished in the new art furniture, and they were very interesting and pretty. I like the new art very much, especially the fun:iture and jewelry. The next day we went to Dresden and spent the day. We were most of the time in the art galleries and tbey are the finest I There are a great many have seen at all. noted pictures in these galleries and nearly every picture there is a perfect gem. After leaving there we went out to the summer residence of the King of Saxony It is built 011 the Japmese style and is very The gardens around odd, but picturesqueit are just lovely.
