It was the early days of the electric tram, the cars could hold twenty people only; much less when there were mothers with a pram, often, I saw people who looked quite lonely ! I was dressed up in my new frock and hat, the reason for this trip was my birthday; on the bench seating mom and auntie sat, I stood as the tram would bounce and sway ! I loved watching the downtown scenes going by, we (Mom and Auntie) were going shopping; on this lovely, beautiful, sunny day in July, oh, some of the things I saw were quite eye-popping ! I seldom had a chance to go downtown, sometimes, the tram would slow down then speed up; when we arrived I wanted to see all the stores around, then, we would have tea served in a fancy cup ! A man holding a cute pup was not allowed on, and an old man was stopped who looked real poor; I paid the three cents so the old man could come-on, the conductor said- I was a nice girl and a real kind-doer !
