Milford chronicle., 1925-09-04

Everywhere are seen artlSLS at
tempting to paint the natural pic
ture upon canvass. Provincetown
claims the largest artist colony in
this country. We spent one day here
and then went over to New Bedford
for the night.
Newport and Fall River were our
objective points the next morning.
The famous bathing beach at New
port with the ten mile drive around
and through the millionaire colony"
was interesting to look at-but we
felt no appeal to disport ourselves
in the Newport CascinO, for the edi-
fication of the natives; so we ferried
across to jamestown and drove to
the opposite side of the island,
where we took another ferry to
Saunderstown.
The fine highway along the Long
Island Sound is another beautiful
drive and we continued to roll along,
stopping for lunch at the Paul
Johns" tea house, and made New
Haven, Connecticut, our objective
point for that night.
We passed through Yale College
and I'll incidentally say, that we
have been taking quite a college
course on this trip. When we add to
the other colleges we passed through
the University of Pennsylvania and
the College at SwarthmOre in Penn
sylvania and the University of Del
aware, our education will have run
the gamut of about all that we can
assimilate for a long time to come.
Il hope that it will at least help my
spelling.)
Leaving New Haven we started
for Wallingsford, where we were to
make a call on Mrs. Bessie Gala
way-anOther Milford girl who has
been transplanted to New England.
Her urgent invitation to remain for
dinner we had to pass by because
we were running on schedule now
(the money was getting less plenty
and we were desiriOus of reaching
New York before dark set i'm so, we
retraced our road to New Haven
and started the IA mile drive, which
went as per schedule; stopping at
Bridgeport long enough to drive to
Sea Park and around its wonderful
drives along that coast, which P. T.
Barnum built and donated to that
city; which by the way, is yet the
winter quarters of the great circus
which was created by him.
Reaching Rye Beach we were de-
toured because of road construction
and incidentally, a big parade by
firemen, and finally reached New
York, through White Plains, just in
time to get mixed in with the heav-
lest traffic. That didn't faze our
driver bit. She sat there and drove
up Broadway and Fifth Avenue just
as if it was a daily part of her bus
mess, and landed us at our hotel
safe and sound, ready to eat and see
a good shOw-"Abies Irish Rose"
The next morning dawned dark,
with heavy clouds and we had a
wonderful rainy day. However, there
was work to be done by yours
truly" so I got busy buying Fall
Hats, while the other ladies played
around in the wonderful stores of
New York, shopping and just enjoy
ing themselves. But, none of the four
were too tired or hesitated about
going to another good show; so, we
spent that evening seeing, "Oh Lady
Be Good" and it was a scream of a
musical comedy. Do go see it when
you go to New York next time, for I
am sure it will run there forever;
it's so splendid.
Saturday dawned bright and beau
tiful and after much "iockeying for
place, we got over the ferry and into
New Jersey and reached good old
Philadelphia, where we passed that
night.
We had to celebrate our arrival
back in some way, so we again Sc
lected the theatre-(fOr country
