carpet covered floors and stairs and
each state-room was furnished with
two berths, making room for three
persons. But for the terrible rocking

wonderful. This afternoon we went

The bridge is seven-eighth Of a mile
in length. Belle Isle is very beauti-

ground. being surrounded by the De-

and finally through a beautiful avenue
, or drive way, which is called Lovers
Lane" When starting down the
driveway our guide told us we were
expected to hold hands with our driv-

viewing the park thoroughly we were
driven back to the hotel and not at all
