HISTORICAL SOCIETY HAS
INTERESTING PILGRIMAGE
Visits Points in Burlington and
Atlantic Counties.

Members and friends of the Allan
tic County Historical Society made
an interesting pilgrimage Thursday,
the 10th inst, visiting historic points
in Burlington and Atlantic counties.
Lunch was eaten on the veranda of
the famous Richards Mansion at Bats
to, after exploring the interior of the
mansion and climbing to the top of the
tower, where a magnificent view of
the country for miles vas obtained.
After leaving Batsto, the company
passed on to Atlantic County, visiting
the church at Pleasant Mills, which is
one of the five churches in Atlantic
County over one hundred years old.
An old bible from which Bishop As
bury had preached was viewed, in
scribed as follows: presented to the
Methodist Episcopal Church by Mrs.
Elizabeth Haskin, 1870" The book
was printed in Philadelphia in 1903.
On the wall is a bronze tablet, the
gift of the Kate Aylerford Chapter,
D. A. R., in memory of the soldiers
in the Revolution who are buried in
the church-yard.
The old mansion of revolution re-
nown was also visited. A silver ma
ple on the lawn, measuring thirteen
feet five inches in circumference, was
viewed with interest by the party.
The buttonwoods, three miles further
on, were next visited. Here in the
days of conflict a British spy was
hung from this massive tree, whose
charred trunk still survives the raw
ages of time, one hundred and forty
years after the colonies became free
and Independent states.
The location of the shipyard of
Timothy Henderson was pointed out,
where once many vessels were built
and sailed by men of the shore. Not
a vestige of this industry remains.
Altogether this was one of the most
enjoyable days the society has expert
enced in its various JOURNEYS.

States, and I'm going to help him
get it,
You know how simply like to
dress. Well l am more abstemious
in frocks than ever, but I never miss
them and Max says 1 am the pref
test woman in Paris when l stand
in book shop with q. rare edition
clasped to my breast as though it
were a child.
g However, we are not always
hunting book auctions and shops.
The other evening we went to one
of the cafes where they dance. At
first l could not believe my eyes, but
at last knew was looking at Jack
Waverly's mother dancing among the
habitues Of the Latin quarter.
The gOOd-natured, bold-headed
man who was dancing with her had
eyes only for her and, truly Margie,
she was "a fine figure of a woman"
She has grown thinner and she
has tinted her hair with henna.'"
Can you beat thatp' exclaimed
MOllie in Mortified tones.
"Tinting ones hair is not inn
moral, MOllie," reminded her.
mo, but just try to think of con-
ventional mother doing all these
things that she would have cut you
or Mary dead for doing"
Which just goes to show that
your mother is one of those conven-
tiOnally good women who believe in
doing in Rome what the Romans
do"
Then I laughed, little book. The
idea Of mother Waverly-Trent with
henna-tinted hair was too funny.
Mollie looked up with wet eyes
and truly felt sorry for her.
It must be heartbreaking to have
ones ideals of mother" shattered,
and yet 1 am not sure that do not
like Dicks mother better now, when
she at least is sincere, than 1 did
