The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-12-18
STAMFORD

Monday afternoon large touring
 car from Bridgeport came very near having a serious accident at the Gen.
 ter A Bridgeport woman was driving
 the car and she was evidently just
 learning to do so, as the chauffeur sat
 beside her guiding her. When she at-
 tempted to turn around 4n front of Bierce's store, she did not take
 sharp enough turn and the car went straight ahead for the post office. Not withstanding the fact that the curb
 was very high, the car went up on the sidewalk and stopped within a foot of the large window in the post off1ce as the rear wheels hit the curb It was not evident whether the woman did not realize what she was doing or could not stop the car. At any rate she turned to the chaurfeur and smiled as if to say, Well, what do you know about that?'' It was then plain to see that neither one of them was at all hurt The chauffeur then backed the car into the road and drove off Aside from the slight shaking up no damage was done, although it was a very -'c1ose shave
