DELIGHTFUL DRIvEs.-ABoUT THE LAX

DELIGHTFUL DRIvEs.-ABoUT THE LAKE.
That old Newtown is beautifully stu
ated among the hills is brought to mind
very fOrcibly each summer, as the large
number OF summer guests arrive at our
hotels and farmers dwellings. Perhaps
one of the most pleasant features and
drawing powers of this increasingly pop
ular summer resort are the many beauti-
full drives with which it is surrounded.
We who have spent our lives among
Newtown hills become so accustomed to
looking away in the distance and behold
ing spread out before US waving mead
ows and pasture lands, dotted here and
there with the cluster of farm buildings.
wooded hillsides at whose base runs the
winding and ever changing brooklet that
lends the picturesque to the scene, the
broad river running close at hand, and
the calm, serene lake nestled in among
the hills, that we forget to exclaim how
beautiful! until our city friends come to
see us and awaken in US the memory of
the time when we, too, first gazed on
these beautiful scenes which the good
God has spread out for our enjoyment.
One of the first drives that nine people
out Of 10 are advised to take when they
come to town is the one over Taunton
hill and around Taunton lake. Leaving
Newtown's elm bordered street by the
road running west and by the Congrega-
tional church, the climb of old Taunton
hill is first to engage attention. 1t is not
80 very steep, winding along the hillside
as it does by gradual ascent. At it's
top we pause to look back over beauti-
full piece of scenery. Newtown Street,
close at hand, looks very fine hid away
among the elms these summer days, and
stretching out in every direction the view
cannot fail to please the eye.
Then there is the castle, whose propri-
etor, Mr. Ronalds, has said that he Las
searched high and low for a bit of seem
cry that could excel the view from the
hill top, and failed to find anything that
was as pleasing to him. Continuing on
over the hill, Taunton lake soon arrests
attention; beautiful little lake a mile
in length, with shady roadway running
along it's west side. The last half of the
drive is not without interest, for from
many point as we are returning home
over Mt Pleasant the view is grand.
Only the prominent features of the drive
have been pointed out but it is doubtful
IL in all this section OF country there is
short drive that can begin to compare in
variety with this short trip around Taun-
ton lake.

peculiar interest to the people of the
country town. 1t ia pleasant and profit
able to have good people with plenty of
money come in the community for few
weeks or even for few days. Itrelieves
the monotony of quiet rural life, furnish
es new motives to activity, gives new
ideas, affords fresh pleasures, and if the
city people and the country folk do their
duty by each other there is no doubt
much mutual benefit in the temporary
relationship. 1t depends mutually upon
the people who come together.
Good people are good anywhere and
whether at home or abroad their il fluence

people 60 into the country for the sum-

of the country churches, they help de-

and to direct it toward better things, be-
cause good people magnify and beautify
the better and brighter side of life where
ever they may be. Good summer society
is good, not only for the city but for the
country. We welcome good people
everywhere.
But, summer society like everything
>lse, may be good or bad. 1t may be q
benz eft to the community or it may be an
injury. 1t depends. To some extent,
summer society is peculiar. 1t is not the

There is danger that the young people
of the country may become Discontinued
and form distorted ideals of social and
economic conditions by reason of this
temporary relationship.
Summer society with its more or less
promiseuous associations, voluntary
idleness and seeking of pleasure is no
doubt responsible for certain social
abuses. For instance, it cannot be other
wise than degrading for young men and
young women to amuse themselves by
trifiing with each others natural af-
fections. 1t cannot be that numerous

THROUGH THE GLEN.

Not to have seen 1.-THE Glen" is to have
missed seeing the most picturesque spot
of which oldsNewtown can boast. There
are two ways of getting to it, one up
through Hanover and enter il from the
lower side, or the more direct way of
going down to Sandy Hook and plunging
at once down the hills to its cooling
depths. The drive up through Hanover
is a very attractive one, but unless one
is accustomed to the roads he would al
most need guide to bring him safely to
the lower road to the Glen. By way of
Sandy Hook there can be no mistake as
to the right road and both the upper and
the lower roau through this romantic bit
of scenery can be easily followed. Take
a regular scorching July summer day for
this drive and then you can appreciate
more fully what charmingly cool spot
it is. Rising abruptly on the west side
of the road are the everlasting hills. and
from the formation Of their steep, rocky
and densely wooded sides, it almost seems
as IL they would tumble down into the
valley where runs the road beside the
Pootatuck brook. This stream lends its
attractions to the spot, though it cannor
be called pretty stream, for its waters
are sadly soiled before it has finished its
duties at the Dutch Rubber, which is
situated ON the stream just above. How
ever, it rushes on ard at one point forms
quite respectable cataract. There is
an abundance OF dense foliage overhang-
ing the roadway and it is only here and
there, by looking straight MP into the
sky that the azure depths of blue can be
seen. One feels alone with wonderful
display of God in nature as be beholds
the grand formation of the hills and val
ley which are SO charmingly brought
together in the short drive which Is prop
erIy known as 1.-THE Glen

gathered on it's porch discussing the
events of the day. AS the drive winds
down the river road there is scarcely a
moment that there is not some new scene
to engage attention, running close to the
river as it does all of the six miles be-
tween Rabbits Bridge and the bridge at
Sandy Hook. This 10 a delightful drive
and our summer guests will search long
way before finding its superior.
THROUGH BEDDING TO PUTNAM MEMORI-
AL PARK.
That all of the pleasant drives about
Newtown do not lie to the north and
east, is testified to by those whose good
fortune it has been to take the drive by
way Of Redding to Putnam Memorial
Park, which is situated about half way
bet tween Redding Center and Bethel.
Leaving Newtown by way of Sugar
Street, the road plunges Immediately in
to the woods, whose cooling shade is
most grateful should the day prove a
warm one. It is rather q lonely road to
Redding after leaving Sugar Street, there
being only few houses at Hopewell, in
all the six miles. But it is not uninterest
ing, for at many places there are pleas
ing bits of scenery, and more lovely
drive could not be selected during the
time that the laure1 is in bloom, for it
grows in great abundance down in the
Hopewell woods. If not afraid Of steep
hills it will pay to visit Redding Ridge
first, for it is slightly place and about
as high up as its neighbor, Redding Cen
ter, on the opposite hill top, although
between the two places there is a great
gulf Cor rather valley) fixed,and the hills
leading from one place to the other are
unusually steep.
Taking the north road from Redding
Center, a drive of about three miles
brings US to the Putnam Memorial Park,
which is the principal attraction of this
drive. The state has expended consid
cradle amount of money in making the
place attractive. Massive stone gateways
are at either entrance to the park and
dotted about here and there are monu-
ments and little log cabins which mark
spots of historic interest. The drive
ways are carefully laid out and nicely
cared for, there are rustic seats about the
grounds and down in the valley is pond
where boating can be INDUCED in if de-
sired. The drive home from the park is
generally through the southern portion
of Bethel and Elmwood, returning to
Newtown on the same road by which it
was left.
