Automobile travel; United States -- Description and travel
The second day, nothing daunted by the heat, we went out to the St.
Clair Country Club for lunch and golf, about a twenty-mile run through
the suburbs. This is a comparatively small and new club, but our host
told us that they were soon to have a fine club-house and improve the
links. The location is attractive, and the luncheon was delicious. We
had brought our golf bags, tennis racquets, and bathing suits with
us, much to the amusement of our friends. After sitting in the car
day in and day out, I know of no better way to stretch your legs and
arms and to exercise your stiff muscles than to put in a few hours at
either game. My husband described this course thus: “You have to hold
on to a tree with one hand and drive with the other, the bally course
is so steep.” There are many more pretentious country clubs and golf
links about Pittsburgh, but this small one had charm and a homelike
atmosphere. Our last evening we were taken to the “New China,” the
last word in Chinese restaurants--beautiful, clean, and artistic! You
have your choice of American or Chinese dishes. As we were looking
for sensations, we ordered some marvelous dishes with impossible
names. One portion was sufficient for three hungry people. The other
two portions were untouched. I do not know what we ate, but it was
delicious. Truth compels me to state that we were all ill for three
days, and decided to patronize home cooking in the future.
We did not get away until noon the next day, as our auto top had been
torn in the garage, and the manager kept out of sight until noon, and
then, after considerable pressure had been brought to bear, he made a
cash settlement of fifteen dollars, wishing us all the bad luck his
“Mutt and Jeff” mind could conjure.
