Last Thursday, Mrs.J. I. Maxwell, with
her touring car, came up from Hancock
Point and took party to Milbridge to dine.
The route was through the woods and
the ride was delightful, the road being in
good repair and its frequent turns pictur-
esque with overarching trees and in many
places bordered with immense ferns green
and clean. The winding drive al Fox
pond was particularly attractive, and the
abrupt elevation OF those old barren rocks
towering at intervals added to the charm.
1t is one OF the finest drives in this sec
ton. The Milbridge house was the OBJ
jective point. The cuisine at this hostelry
cannot be excelled. Before leaving for
the next stopping place, West Goulds-
boro, the hotel register contained the
names OF Mrs. j. T. Maxwell, Mrs. j. II.
