Though Mrs. Leach has for many years spent her winters with one of her e sons in Philadelphia, she was long prominently identified with the social - and religious life of this summer re- • sort. She was a native of Massachusetts, as was her late husband, and ■ for many generations her ancestors - were identified with the history of that r commonwealth.

THE STEEL COACH— A TRAVEL SAFE GUARD The Pennsylvania Railroad now has in operation on - its lines east of Pittsburg over two hundred passenger coaches, ^ dining cars, baggage cars, and mail cars of the new all-steel type. The solid steel framework of these cars, designs to I resist shock and minimize the dangers of collision, is further strengthened by the steel sheathing enclosing the body of the car. In fret every, hing about the coach is steel, save the window frame.-, the cushions of the seats, and tjie flooring. Sueh little woodwork as enters into the in, me up <>f iii • coach the mush with which the car seats .ire covered ..mi iiui n.ur witw which they are stuffed is treaie'l to a n'eprootim. pn-cc-s whilst the floors ate cement, the ivnder.ng ilie r.-acn at once practically indestructible ami thorn. .giily < flrepio-il. ; i ItTs built like a battleship. The new coach is longer than the stau l.tr I car generally j in use on the railroads of this country, and has a comfortable seating capacity of sixty to ninety people according to style of the coach. The unusual weight of the coaches give to them a solidity that greatly increases the comfort of the passenger. The seats are adjusted to a more convenient space and angle, the coaches are all lighted with electricity and amply ventilated in winter as well as summer by new and thoroughly tested methods. The interior finish of the coach is plain though pleasing tb to the eye. The absence of ornamentation enhances the idea of strength and at the same time assures absolute cleanliness and thorough sanitation. Steel cars are now in use on the principal trains between New York, Philadelphia, Washington, and on the Main Line between Philadelphia and Pittsburg. The number of cars is constantly being increased as the finished product comes from the shops. - The -Pennsylvania SailroadVi eqaymeet xs recognized 4l as the Standard of America. Bl
