If you would escape the dangers of the city heat, take your children to the country. BUT BEWARE! Take no chances with cesspools, or polluted beaches. Select a place that is high and dry with pure air, pure water, perfect drainage, and above all, properly sewered. You will find all these advantages and many more com- bined at beautiful and healthful Morningside- on-the-Sound, reached by the New Hayen= Bridgeport trolley. This is a secluded private park, free from all nuisances, on the highest point along the shore line of the Sound. Cool breezes blow constantly across this headland, and there are beautiful shade trees and big grassy fields. There is perfect drainage, pure water and a $10,000 sanitary sewer system—no other like it on the shore. A colony of so- ciable, friendly people to welcome all desirable new-comers. Just enough amusements to pass the time pleasantly and not enough to tire. Ask the trolley conductor to let you off at Morn- ingside, or if traveling by auto follow the Morningside “arrow” signs along the road. You can get lunch at Morningside, and from the great lawn in front of the clubhouse you will enjoy one of the finest water views to be seen on any shore. And do not fail to call at the office on Ridgewood Drive for a chat with the manager, who can tell you more about Morningside than we have room to print.
