IA NEW YORK TRIP | Miss Nola Snyder Writes of Delightful Journey Enjoyed by Herself and MISS HAZEL HANEY on ng Ladies Employed by Government in Washington Go Sight-seeing. Miss Nola Snyder writes from Wash ington. D. C. to her sister. Florence, regarding a delightful trip which she and her roommate, Miss Hazel Haney, I of this city, had to New York City recently. The letter: Dear Sister: —I am perfectly happy, i willing and eager to come home now, in six weeks for the things 1 wanted most to happen before I started home has happened. I have seen the wonderful city of New York! It really is a relief for 1 know 1 never would have been satisfied to go homo, without this visit. And it came about so suddenly it was over before I scarcely realiz-. ed it. I'll tell you all about it. Last Saturday morning I came down ( to breakfast, and Hazel who was already down said. “Nola. we’re going to New York tonight.” I thought she was joking for she was the one who had not wanted to go so I paid no attention. But she kept on talking ; about it and I learned there was to be an excursion and she really meant it. Os course I was tickled pink and, jumped up and down for joy and im- : mediately lost my appetite. That ' same noon I went down to the con-, solidated ticket office and bought two : tickets for New York. Think of it!': The excursion was made up of sever-. 1 al seclons which left at intervale be-! tween ten and twelve-thirty, at night. There were no berths on the train and we could only curl up in the seats and try to sleep as best we could. It was a long trip—from 10:30 till 7:30' the next morning. It should not have j taken us more than five hours but spent lots of time standing on, 1 switches. A couple of men In our ; coach had no seats and had to stand I the whole way. But I must hurry or I'll never get the whole trip related. Remember in that song about Paddy Mack where it says, “Anywhere from Harlem to a Jersey City pier?”G Well, we got off the B. & O. train at Jersey City and crossed the Hudson' river to New York on a ferry boat. 11 wonder if everybody who rides on a’' ferry boat is a fairy. Oh dear, I am going too much into detail. I think I’d better make use of the wings on! my feet like Mercury and speed up ! It was a wonderful day and we start ed it with a ride in the subway. Gee! We just tore through that, tunnel. It didn’t take us very long to get to Battery Park, I'll tell you. There we bought tickets for the ride out in the harbor to the Statue of Liberty. My, but she's a big lady. Her little finger is as big as I am! That’s no exaggeration. The elevator was not running and we started to climb up but decided not to after we got to the top of the monstrous foundation. We enpoyed the ride on the water so much that we decided to go for a trip up the Hudson river—a two hour ride. One surely gets a good idea of the vast amount, of business carried on in New York by the number of docks reaching out into the water. There we saw ships from all parts of the world. Many flages de did not recognize but there were English, French, Holland and many from our own ports, such us San Francisco. One of the most interesting ships was a great, black German passenger ship which is now being used to bring back our American buys. They are not built just as our ships are. We got. back from this ride at one o’clock. Elevated railways are interesting. Like the subways they have about half a dozen cars in a string and go whizzing along curving tracks. They are built upon trestle work that looks something like a bridge and are not as high as I expected them to be—just high enough so that cars and things on the street can pass under easily. Some of the streets are so narrow that it seems one could almost reach out across the sidewalks and touch the business houses. We rode on the elevated from Battery Park to Washington Square where we ( stood, in line for twenty minutes wait- . ing to get a seat in one of the sight- , seeing cars that stopped there every minute pr two. We waited so long to get a top seat. You have seen pictures of those buses with a stairway that leads up to the top where people sit on the roof, haven’t you Well.j that’s just what we did. We had a long long ride for ten cents, on i L Broadway, Fifth Avenue, out Riverside Drive, past Grant’s Tomb, and many of the skyscrapers which look exactly as I thought they would from

[the pictures I had seen Fifth Avenue, the business street of New York, was beautifully decorated for the 77th division which was to return. "Welcome Home" blazed out everywhere and carved arches were placed over the streets. They have the funniest street cars on Broadway. They are so lew, like underslung automobles, and the wheels are so covered for protection that they look like they’re just sliding along like yellow caterpillars, if you can imagine a caterpillar going fast. And, oh gee, there was a lady conductor on the car we rode on and she was quite the snappiest thing 1 ever heard. The car was crowded, of course, and she was so much in a hurry that she’d pinch the men’s coats in the door if they didn't get in just as quickly as she thought they should, which was double quick. And | she’d yell at people. I didn’t think much of heir myself. She wore a khaki colored uniform. After the sight teeing trip we found 'it was getting late and after buying a dinner at Child's Restaurant and we had to hurry down to the ferry for the return trip. When we,crossed the I \ river we got one final view of the Newi York sky line and the Statue of Liberty. After a wild rush in a madden ed crowd we. secured a seat and settled down for the long ride. You can | imagine how tired and sleepy we ( were when we finally got home at 21 o’clock. Although we wouldn’t have! missed the trip for anything, Hazel i and 1 decided that we woulrn’t go' next week again if some one would pay all our expenses and give U 4 $5, apiece besides. It was some trip I'll. tell you I didn’t enjoy Monday very' much. There now! 1 wonder if I’ve told you all the important things. I guess that will last you until I get home, which is only a little over five weeks now. What do Claude and Lucille say to spending their vacations in De--1 catur? I hope they can do it for it ■ surely would be nice to have a rei union once more. I haven't seen Claude since I came to Washington. The next time you write to me, Florence, will you please send me Anita’s and Mabel , Harb’s addresses. !you can get them by calling up their 1 mothers. I have lost track of them entirely. Anita moved and I moved and neither of us knows where .he : other is. I guess. I saw Mabel one day at the Food Administration where ' we both went for lunch but I didn t have time to ask her where she lived. I want to tell them I am coming home soon. They may want me to do somel thing for them. Don’t forget this, ' please. | 1 hope you will write me a longer letter next time. You ought to after this volume. 1 have some work to do ■ now so must bid you adieu. Give the I whole family, including Joli-Coeur. my regards. NOLA. o NOTICE.

Saratoga, Cal.—l am an engineer \ and overworked so I could not sleep, : was tired all the time. I could ! not get a man to fill my place so had \ to keep on working. My druggist ask- ; ed me to try Vinol and it built me up \ and strengthened me so I feel tine • and sleep all right.”—lsaac W. Brad- i ford. There is no secret about Vinol. It owes its success in such cases to beef and cod liver peptones, iron and manganese peptonates and glycerophosphates, the greatest body building and strength creating tonics. We strongly recommend Vinol. Sold by Smith, Yager & Falk, and . druggists everywhere.—advt. i P. S. —For itching, burning skin try Saxol Salve. Money back if it fails. | Celery plants, ten cents per dozen, and yam plants seventyfive cents per hundred at Ful- , lenkanip’s. Get yours. 126t3
