Writes Of Trip To England From West Bend Journal
The Rev and Mrs L E B Wardle and their daughter Joyce returned to Buffalo Center on September 6 after a 10,000 mile tour. They left New York May 30 aboard the Verengaria, visited Cherbourg and Southampton, saw Wesley Chapel in London, and toured eight English cities including Grimsby. They noted English social unrest and Bolshevist tendencies, observed a Columbus statue in Liverpool, then sailed to Montreal on the Cassandra, facing rough seas and icebergs before admiring the St Lawrence river. They praised Niagara Falls and Sandringham grounds, and contrasted royalty relics with American reverence for titles.

Drapery outlines are valued, with uneven hem lines on layered panels kept near ground. Coats and capes should be loose with wide sleeves and collars, and hats run from medium to small sizes.
