Ladies of the household are addressed at "Gnadige Frau" 

 (Gracious lady) or "Gnadiges Fraulein" (Gracious Miss) ; if 

 in doubt whether married or unmarried, the address simply is 

 "Gnadigste." In France, "Madame" and "Mademoiselle" are used. 

 The older generation in Germany still address married ladies by 

 their husband's title — e. g. : "Frau Oberforstmeister", but 

 "Gnadige Frau" answers equally well and is always used in Aus- 

 tria, where however an equally strange custom persists among the 

 older generation — namely the address in the third person. Not, 

 e. g. : "Werden Sie mitgehen, Herr Hofrat?" (Will you go 

 along, Mr. Assistant Forester?) but "Werden Herr Hofrat mit- 

 gehen?" (Will the Mr. Forester go along?) This also persists 

 in letter writing, the common superscription being Euer (ab- 

 breviated "Ew.") Hochwohlgeboren" — (Your highly well born). 

 Among servants the address in the third person is everywhere 

 common. In France: "Quest-ce que Monsieur veut?" ("What 

 does Monsieur wish?") In German: "Was wiinscht der Herr?" 

 (What does the gentleman wish?") etc. 



Special Objects of Trip. European Forestry is too broad a 

 field to be covered thoroughly in a short trip. A general trip 

 is of great value and interest but the most good will result if the 

 visitor specializes along one or more lines in which he is particu- 

 larly interested. 



These particular lines may be roughly divided into : Education, 

 Forest Experiments, Administration, Silviculture (including 

 Planting), Forest Management (working plans), Forest Protec-
