I guess the main reason for such a feeling was that I didn't know whether I was going to meet my dream girl or just a bunch of ordinary girls. I had three of the best boys of the class to room with, but still I felt that I wanted to associate with some real nice girl part of the time. With this sub' ject on my mind I boarded the train. They say the first hundred miles are the easiest, but I d-on't know as I agree. Here's the reason why. The morning had gone rather slowly and every time I thought of the hours to come I felt a little chill run up my back. Soon I heard that lunch 'was to be served at twelve thirty. That sounded better than anything I had heard since I left Pittsburgh. I had it all planned that I was going to be one of the first to eat, because our car was right next to the diner, but-it was not so to be. After being disappointed by not getting to eat first, I flopped into the first seat I saw, and def termined to stand my ground and not be the last at any rate. Just then a gang came into our coach from some other school, so my room mate and hopped right up to the door of the diner and decided to wait until someone came out and then slip in. We had to stand in line for about half an hour, I think. Everybody else was feel' ing happy, but you can bet your last penny I wasn't Finally two tables were emptied. We were first in line so I knew we were to eat next. At last we were seated and what do you think happened? The table across from us had been vacant, so one of the boys of the trio which was left, fone member of our quartet had already found his ideal girl, j sat at this table and the other sat with me at a table for two. Now is the point at which the story becomes interesting. Three girls came in and sat down at the table with our friend. Right away I noticed a change in the atmosphere. The sun seemed to shine more brightly, the train seemed to be going much more smoothly and in fact every thing seemed different. Perhaps you are wondering why? In case you haven't guessed I'll tell you. One of these Girls was a wonder! Luckily none of the others picked the same girl as I did. Soon a con versation was started and I knew that from then on this was going to be a Hne trip I don't want you to think that we three good little boys did anything radical to get acquainted with these girls, because we didn't. Understand, everyone was very friendly on the trip, and you had to look out for yourself, so do you blame me? By the time we had finished our meal we had all become pretty friendly It happened that the other boys thought the other two girls very interesting, too Wasn't that nice? Oh Boy! Was it a grand and glorious feeling? Try it some time and find out. We told our latest acquaintances that as their coach was behind ours we would come back and see them some time in the afternoon. Here we parted, but not for long. You wonder why? Well here's the whole reason. We thought we had met the three nicest girls on the train and we certainly didn't want any other boys to gain the inside track. NVe stayed away for a little while. Gee! -it seemed like agessbecause you know it never pays to let a girl know you like her a lot. After we had waited until it seemed impossible to wait any longer, we went back to the last coach-not to see them of course, but merely to get a view from the observation car They must have thought of the same thing, because when we got there they were out looking hack towards home. Really I wasn't a bit disappointed anyhow. We greeted them with ,FL smile and the first thing you know we were talking about school Can you imagineit? After much conversation we got tired standing and someone suggested we go in and sit down-a very good suggestion by the way. Now every one knows, that six cant sit in one seat in an t Then the individual friendships started. It seems very queer, but we all acted as t Y rain so we divided into couples hough we had known each other -mile' i 'fav , . A :itz ,ff ,WW

We arrived in Harrisburg at about three o'cloek and we fellows, greatly taken with our kflames, asked if we could accompany them around Harrisburg. All three girls said they would be glad to have us. We were due back at five-ten so that gave us two hours to roam around. We went to the Capitol, saw all there was to see, and were back on the train at five-five. After about an hour's ride we atc dinner-with the girl friends, to be sure! Oh my! How things had changed in the last six hours! We were with the girls until we arrived in Washington at eight thirty, and we had made arrangements to see them at their Hotel just as soon as we could get uspruced up a little. I don't think it fair that I should tell you all that happened, but you can take it from me-we had a wonderful time!
