July 28, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 23 Back in Wilmette After 12 Months' Travel Around World Returned this week from a trip around the world, on which they de- parted practically a year ago, Thomas H. Eddy, Jr., of Evanston and William Robert Tobey of Wilmette have their own 'glorious adventure" to account and recall. They were met in New York City last Friday, when they arrived on the S. S. Olympia, by Mr. and Mrs. Eddy who went east to meet and greet them after their twelve travel. intending to spend the summer in quiet occupation, from the journeyings which, with wonderful adventuring as were, were at the same time strenu- ous. The resting two sailed last summer from San Francisco. They spent a fortnight | in Hawaii, visiting with friends, be- | fore going on to Japan where they | had the pleasure, denied the usual] tourist, of visiting in the home of | Japanese friends and being enter- | tained according to the custom of the | country as many tourists do not ex- | through | perience it. They traveled Korea to the Siberian border, then down to Peking where, on account of war, they were not permitted to deviate into the city's surrounding | confines. Their trip through China-- | covering visits to Hong Kong, Shang- hai, Canton and other cities--was hur- ried on account of these same war restrictions, but they succeeded in evading any actual danger in the country of turmoil and battle. From the Philippines they cruised through the Dutch Indies and the world, and motored through Java from end to end to take the boat to French Indo China and visit the "for- gotten" city of Angkor and inspect its highly interesting recent excavations. They visited the Malay Peninsula and spent Christmas in India before re- turning to Angkor for another visit, and enjoyed a hunting trip and travels in. northern India, particularly about Calcutta. They crossed the Persian Gulf to Basra, the Arabian seaport, visited Bagdad and motored through the mountains to Teheran, a part of the trip made in midwinter over high passes where blizzards and storms raged and cold was intense. Going back to Bagdad, they motored from there across the desert to Damascus and through Palestine, visiting the interesting American colony at Jerusalem, before going to Italy to join Mr. Tobey's mother, Mrs. Lansing B. Warner, and family and spending several weeks with them touring southern Europe. Leaving them, the two young men toured the Italian lake district and the lake dis- trict and Alpine regions of Switzer- land, then visited Austria, Germany and France by airplane before going into England for golf on various beau- tiful and historic courses there and in Scotland. They lingered here for several weeks, pursuing the sport for which they have particular enthus- iasm, and were fascinated by London and Edinburgh before sailing from the British Isles for home. WINS GOLF MATCH The woman's golf tournament at Indian Hill last Wednesdav--selected nine--was won by Mrs. Hobart Young with Mrs. Henry Tenney, second. The tournament next week will be a blind bogey. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Laser, 418 Provident avenue, are at their cot- tage at Pelican Lake, Wis., for ten days.
