days outing?s This was the awkward
manner in which a family man asked a
reporter last week for information which
d great many would like to possess at this
season Of the year. Jersey Citizens have
large and varied field to pick from in
the selection OF place for aslay's outing
Tue man who propounded this question
explained that he had one day week to
himself and wanted TO know where he
could spend 1t with his family and de-
rive satisfaction and comfort He wanted
to avoid the popular excursion resorts
and brass band Accomplishments. At first
il seemed an easy matter to pick out a
number Of places where day can be
pleasurab1y spent. but when the greater
number of ad iacent places wherein to
spend u holiday is thouyht of. iE Is really
adifIiculs matter to offer suggestions and
fully answer the question, therefore the
question will be but partly answered this

quiet day can be spent there. Ii it Is de-
sired the tourist can continue his journey
over the mountains, and at the end of an
hour find himself in as wild and pictur-
esque country as can be found this side
Of the Catskilts. If instead OF going up
South Orange avenue over the mountains
the tourist takes the Valley road toward
Maplewood, he will not have TO walk far
before he finds himself in quiet lanes or
besides a rippling brook, and will be
tempted TO temporarily soj0urn there for
a pleasant hour or two.

interesting. There are dozens of other
