Many varied tales are being told
of the experiences of those who went
on the excursion to Luray, Virginia,

twenty-five hours ride in day coaches.
Long delays at many points of the

eat after arriving at the Southern
town. The time that was originally
scheduled to stay at Luray was cut
in half making the trip all the more
Unsatisfactory to those who went.

turn to the north.
