there they met other travellers who
were not hiking but rather travelling
by automobile, and who gave them
what they called "a wonderful lift" by
bringing them to Skowhegan. These
fellow tourists, whose names they did
not know, were going to Newport,
Maine, and came to Skowhegan just to
bring them a little farther on their
way Miss Jaffin stated that her
young brother thought it was a crazy
idea to start on such long hike, but
now that they are putting it over in
such splendid style and standing 1t SO
well he writes that he'll take off his
hat to his sister and her travelling
companion. Miss Galomb said that her
mother went to the boat to see her off
and wish her luck on the trip, yet all
the time she knew that deep down in
her mothers heart she was wishing
she would give up the trip after few
days and return home.
Upon their arrival in Skowhegan
they were left at the local store of
the Atlantic and Pacific Co, and
there Mr.. Carl Tobey the popular
young manager made them feel q
warm Maine welcome and, Mr.. and
Mrs. Tobey entertained them over
Tuesday night in their home on Bush
street, where they surely felt the
warmth of a hospitable Skowhegan
home.
The left Wednesday morning, con-
tinuing on their way north as their
destination is Quebec and Montreal.
Canada from Skowhegan. They have
faith to believe that they will reach
Montreal as they stated that now
they were having their mail sent to
Montreal.
Misses Jaffin and sGalomb plan to
pass nearly the entire summer on the
hike, returning to New York in time
to resume their school work at the
beginning of the school year.
They were delightful young ladies
to meet, and gracious to the CORE
talking with them. They have a
camera with them and when in
SkoWhegan, stated that they had al
ready sent many dozen pictures to
New York to be finished. They were
not taking notes on the trip, but
stated that they had good memories
and when it was suggested, to them
that they publish an account of this
wonderful hike Miss Galomb admit

| journalism, and that although she
! had not thought of doing anything
! with the trip in a literary way. she
might do 50 and that they hoped to
| have many pictures which would

They were properly clothed for
| their long journey wearing Kahai
nickcrs and Jackets and close fitting
yet becoming hats and carried KNAPP
| sacks on their shoulders They
| looked we'll and seemed in the best
! of spirits.
