We  visited  Peterhof  on  our  return,  as  we  had  planned,
and  found  it  a  delightfully  situated  and  very  beautiful
imperial  residence.  It  was  built  by  Peter  the  Great,  but
has  been  greatly  added  to  by  successive  sovereigns.  From
there  we  steamed  back  to  St.  Petersburg,  and  to  a  sumptu-
ous dinner  with  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Greger  at  Donon's,  the
famous  Delmonico's  of  St.  Petersburg,  which  served  to
close  most  delightfully  as  cheerful  and  pleasant  a  day's
picnicking  as  one  could  well  imagine.
