THE JEFFERSONIAN, TOWSON, MARYLAND
Saturday, September 20, 1924—Page 9
ENGLISHMAN ON VISIT TO AMERICA FINDS
TOWSON MOST ALLURING SPOT IN EAST
Admires Arrangement Of Town And Says Women Here Dress Better
And Wear Nattier Looking Shoes Than
Those In London.
Towson women do not suffer by comparison with their English cousins across the sea. Or at least that is what Sewlyn Davis, of London, private secretary to the Rt. Honorable Viscount Wimborne, noted polo enthusiast, told a representative of The Jeffersonian when interviewed during a visit to Towson and Loch Raven.
"The women in Towson are better dressed than those of the United
Kingdom," Mr. Davis went on to state, "anad I have noticed that very ecellent shoes worn in your country. Judging, not from the money market, but only by the general appearance and manner of the people here I should say that America is far more prosperous. There is an air of independence and a sense of freedom about the States which is lacking abroad."
"I am impressed, too, with the

way Towson is planned," he said, "By this I mean the sweeps and spacaes of the town and the detachment and homelike look of the houses. The land privileges you enjoy in America seems very wonder-fu lafter the involved system with which England struggles."
Mr. Davis thinks the people of this locality closely resemble the English in semblence and reflect the Anglo Saxon race which has remained pure with practically no intermingling of alien strain since the Revolution. The accent of the people is charming, he says, and vastly different from the enunciation of the British, and he does not believe that the courtesy of manner he has found here could be surpassed elsewhere.
Arriving in Towson during one of the hottest periods of the season, Mr. Davis nevertheless expressed himself as being delighted with the climate. He would consider Maryland a close second to California, the latter being regarded by the English as having the most ideal location in the world.
The evenings here are more beautiful and the atmosphere more clear than in London, Mr. Davis declares, although the twilight is. shorter.
The peach orchards spreading on the outskirts of Towson hold a fascination for this loyal subject of the King. Peaches cannot be grown in his native land, he tells us, and when brought in they command a high price. In Picadilly one pays as much as two shillings, or fifty cents for one peach, he says. Fruit in England is not abundant as in Baltimore county.
"The churches in this town are magnificent," Mr. Davis hastened to add. "I do not know of any place in England of relative size where there are churches to compare with these."
Returning to New York a few days ago Mr. Davis joined Lord Wimborne, with whom he has been as secretary for twenty years, and in whose house he lives in London. Lord Wimborne is in America now for the International Polo Matches. He brought a team over in 1914 and won the cup for England at that time.

Hearing the sound of fire-engine bells, Moore and Marie, 6 and 5 years old respectively, ran from the steps of a vacant house at 1363 W. North avenue, Baltimore city, "to see the fire engine." A moment later fire engine No. 7 of the Ca-tonsville station of the Baltimore County Fire Department, crashed into the steps, demolishing them. Moore and Marie live at at 1361 W. North avenue.
WOMAN'S HAND CRUSHED IN WASHING MACHINE.

OVERLEA COUPLE WED FIFTY YEARS.
Celebration of the christening of two of their grandchildren marked the fiftieth wedding anniversary of Mr. anad Mrs. James Costir., Locust avenue, Overlea.
The couple were married September 15, 1874, by the Rev. William Koontz, of Catonsville.
This same pastor was present to perform the christening ceremonies. Thirty-three grandchildren and one great-grandchild attended.
Those christened were Aubrey Eugene Costin, one-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Costin, and Eugene Amelia Hopkins, three-week-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. LeRoy Hopkins.
James Costin passed his seventy-fourth birthday last week, while his wife, Madora E., is in her sixty-ninth year.
Recommending young men of today not to hurry into matrimony,
the husband said to a representative of The Jeffersonian:
"I was married at the age of twenty-four, which was quite young in my day. But it is worse than
that now. Boys at the age of eighteen or nineteen and sometimes younger take wives, and it is not a good way to do. I waited and have always been happy."
