Travels On


whore we had been so delightfully."-
entertained during our stay with our
friends. The home itself is a three
story structure built of brick and
occupying an elevated position, near
tho du Pont boulevard, perhaps
quarter of a mile back from the
highway. The position it occupies
gives to a person a clear look OF the
surrounding country for many miles
away.
This home was built in the early
ages, when they built to last 1Is
massive walls while showing some
slight signs of decay, yet they stana
firm and erect, as when first erected
and will continue to stand for years
The front porch which stands
about three feet from the ground ana
runs the whole length of the build
ing and gives to one occupying this
elevation a view of not only the sur.
rounding country but clear we" 9l

Galore on every hand. We might say /

dies shopping; only the writer vlslteo
the city and had chats with old frlenos
he had not seen for several years.
Friday P. NJ. we intended to start lor
home, but our host and hostess prom
isced if we would stay until Saturday

took place on that Friday afternoon
trip will be the subject for a later com
Saturday morning, bright and early
we were up. After partaking Of an ele-
giant breakfast we prepared TO enter
our car and start for home. After bid
ding our host and hostess goodbye
thanking them for their kindness dur
ing our stay AS we passed out the
driveway, the chef who had been watch-
ing our departure, nodded his head as
m lch as to say. thank goodness thaI
crowd is gone at least.

to st. Georges At st. Georges we saw
51Adges at work digging the canal deep

IA and on to Smyrna, from Smyrna TO
Dover and as far south as Frederlca;
the highway was lined with booths
which were filled with apples. pumpkins
and occasionally a jug OF cider Wouio
como into view.
Til. label did not say whether it was
,weet or hard. We did not ask. MILFORD
soon came into view and where we hao '
