planned.
Travelling through Washington state
Miss Abrahamson said she was fortu-
nate in bring given lift" on her way
to Chic %. Particularly in going
through the desert. travelled all night
in the back of woboly old Ford. driven
by some friendly traveller along the
road"
1t took two weeks for her to reach
Chicago after leaving Seattle. Remain
ing there for a few days, she resumed
her trip, her objective being New York
A friend residing in Detroit took her
as far as Niagara Falls in an autonlo-
bile.
Although delighted with New York,
Miss AbrahamSon was disappointed in
the Metropolitan Opera House. 1.-THE
first thing / did in New York was to
attend the Boston Symphony and the
opera. OF course could only afford
balcony seats, but at least 1t gave me a
chance to- hear the music. I do not
think the opera in New York can touch
the way we put them on in San Fran
cisco at the auditorium. I do not think
the staging is as artistic nor the audi
ence as apprectatiVe.
Remaining in Washington for a few
days only, Miss Abrahamson will start
on her return Journey, hoping 70 reach
home before Christmas. She expects
to go via the southern route, stopping in
New Orleans, San Antonio and up to
California through New Mexico.
Miss AbrahamSon, while she has en-
joyed her method of travelling, admits
that it involves hazards and hardships
and she wishes to discourage others of
her sex who may entertain the idea OF
doing as she has done. ,.
Carrying on her back large KNAPP
sack, her luggage has consisted of two
pairs of breeches, light silk blouSes,
lightweight underwear, two pairs OF
boots, several pairs of hose. two felt
hats, toilet articles, a sweater, leather
coat and a kodak.
when I get the first glimpse of the
Pacific Ocean and a redwood tree, I
think it will be one of the -happiest
days of my life" she declared.
