nR. AND MRS. c. G. wADEs TRIP
BY Mr.. c. G. Wade
Continued from last week.

Leaving Washington with u feeling.
that our minds had simply taken i
snapshot, and that somehow, neither
chemist nor psychologist would ever
be able t. develop the negative, be-
cause we had not exposed it long
enough, we headed northeast, at 7:30
A. m, bound for Philadelphia, by way
ef Baltimore.
One hundred and thirty three miles
over excellent roads brought us to
Moylan, Pa, suburb Of Philadelphia,
where we We're booked to make our
headquarters with Mr.. and Mrs.
Bertram Hopeman. Mrs. Hopeman is
Mrs. Wade's cousin. She was known
to Wauwatosans as Cornelia Wheeler
born and brought up here-dauph-
ter of John Wheeler. Her mother
was a sister of Luther and J. d. War
ren.
They have a large well furnished
home on five acres of land. Maple
trees almost conceal the stone house
from the road, but are not crowded,
9na do not darken the house with its
ample screened in porehes. Al coiored
(black) man and wife live over the
stone garage and take care of the
garden, orchard, cows, chickens, and
dogs, while a young married copple
live in the home and serve in their
several capacities to the end that
guests need not feel that they are
burdening their host.
A five acre home lot isn't half bad
with plenty Of servants to do the
work; and fresh clean milk, testing
6ao butter fat, leaves such a smooth
taste in ones mouth, and the quart
can they gave us when we left was
'over stuffed" too, I'm sure. Speak
ing of dogs, they have several intelli-
gent, well trained, police dogs, and
Mr.. Hopeman, putting Jack through
his various stunts, said: "lIow kiss
the Misses"
He was supposed to kiss Mrs.
Hopeman, but being very intelligent
and wishing to contribute to the pleas
ure of the guests, he stood right up,
quick as se1C or little quicker, and
landed kiss on my wife's face. Now
there be those who have missed some
thing in their bringing up, and such
maintain that they do not care to get
too close to nature. | actually believe
she squirmed worse than she did the
first time | kissed her; and she said
something on the impulse of the mo-
ment that the dog did not understand;
but the other Misses" explained that
this lady does not love dogs. Where
upon he cooked his head to one side
and wondered how that could be.
Mr.. Hopeman took us to Chester,
where his firm had just finished the
remodeling of great ocean liner that
was ready to pull out for New York
next day. 1t was the Great North
ern. 1t had had all the staterooms re-
moved to make it more efficient in
transporting our boys to the front
during the war In times of peace
they ride in state, but we didn't send
them to the front in staterooms, and
the class of people who always ride
in state have delayed that bonus
some, but the boys have it coming a
little later.
After the close Of the war, H. M.
Alexander purchased the Great North
ern and was having the his her priced
staterooms finished in mahogany and
other expensive hard woods. / sup
pose he paid the Government such a
high price for this old transport that
he will have to have a ship subsidy to
enable him to run it without having
to charge productive rates to passen-
gers.
Throughout all ages the seafarinp
craft has inspired poets, and lovers o.
art and adventure. There is something
so dignifed and independent abou
even a sail boat, seyenely overcoming
the otherwise impossible barrier, am
this feeling of admiration and wonder
Is only intensified by modern skill ane
unlimited means--a modern ocean-go
ing passenger boat actually being
great city hotel made to float AMI n
