 Days

New York, June tP,-Although she has resided within committing distance of New York city for al most half a century; has never seen a skyscraper nor ridden in the sub way, Miss Ellen Fully next Wednes- day will do something she has never done before-she will take her first trip on a railroad train.
 The occasion for the trip is that Miss E. Douglas Southwick, whom she has served since Miss Southwick was q babe in arms, is moving for the summer from Larchmont, N. Y. to Ogonquit. Me. But even then the tourney has been so arranged that the aged servant will not have to face the hustle of New York.
 "I knew the Grand Central termi- nal would simply prove too much of a shock for the start of her initial train ride" said Miss Southwick, who has arranged to have her party travel by automobile to Stamford. Conn. to board the train.
 Miss Pulley said she never had any desire to see the sights of New York. and the only impression She has of this citys famed skyline is the one she saw in landing from Ireland in 1882.
 As for her first train ride, she had only one question to ask, Do trains bump and wiggle when they roll >long the tracks?'
