 Newark Girls Dream Trip.
 Miss Marion See who was the New ark, N. J., delegate elected from the Fidelity Union Trust company of that city has to say in an interview:
 Home again from an 5000 mile "dream trip" can hardly realize it. It was wonderful.
 Brittany, Normandy, the devastat- ed areas, the battlefelds-long rides in great autos over white roads-snt- tering Paris-just a long moving DIG ture of new sensations and interest ing pictures wish it had been SIX months instead of but six weeks.
 One fine thing about a trip to the other side is the value it sets on home. Paris is lauded as the home of pretty women and fash1onaole clothing But Broad street, New ark, can show more pretty faces in a block than the boasted avenues or Paris can show in a dozen. As TOT things like bathtubs, plumbing not water and all usual American com forts-they're hard to find abroad.
 Footprints of Mars.
 After, all. Paris is not France: What I particularly remember is the devastated regions, The war has mas been over for a long time, out the seen over a great area. l admired the industry of the peasants, thelr courage and their appreciation of American help.
 80, were just peaches. They made good companions and there was an esprit-de-corps that made the trip doubly enjoyable. LOOK at me taih- already.
 When the Rochambeau hove in sight of New York I realized that l was in the greatest country In tns world. There's lots of beautiful old things on the other side. but nothing gave me the pleasure that the skynne and the Statue of Liberty dld- Ana I had come from the country that presented the statue to the United States.
 Missed Couple of Meals.
 Going over very few of us were seasick But coming back there was little cargos in the hold because Of a harbor strike and missed couple Of days on deck.
 I want to thank the citizens of Newark and the suburbs for the dream trip o,a Ine s+a+ed dilleF Trance iSn and France, official and unofficial treated us royalty.
 Next summer there will be even larger delegation as there are so many cities that could no get in the first section-the time was too short and of course there is not a clIy III the entire country, large enougn to carry on the election, that will wan. to De left out and not be represented in this wonderful international honoT'
 The candidates so far are spielld1n r.i!,a Don't o w wait until the nominations are over and then regret it. Send In name now-today-this is the tlIne; 11s; Take this marvellous dream trlp snol(en so glowingly of by Miss See
