Then inside is written "Alice Cross Jones 1215 Medina Road Akron Ohio USA. Pondfield Crossways Bronxville New York." Alice came from a very wealthy and notable family her father being the Chairman New York Tunnel Authority and a graduate of Princeton University class of 1896. The diary has 85 pages of densely written small legible cursive of narrative and super illustrations concerning different trips important events and social activities concerning her life from 1920-1926. She was at the esteemed Bryn Mawr College and details some exam and classes she took. While her diary narrative is an 'A' sadly her marks are not at best the odd 'B' but many 'C's. Most of those are trips to Europe with even some wonderful drawings inside. The diary starts off with her boarding S.S. Venezuela on her way to Hawaii and so many more incredible places. Her writings leave little doubt that she is on a world tour: at the outset of the diary she has a list of places visited; Chicago San Francisco Honolulu Yamaha Tokyo Kyoto Kobe Shanghai Manila Hong Kong Singapore Java Ceylon Egypt France and London. She sailed on 6 different ships and the last one being the famous White Star Line "Olympic". She tours many of the battlefields of France as the war had just ended. After her trip she's got several entries about being at home and attending school sometimes summarizing her adventures. One summer she writes about spending it at Camp Yokum Becket Massachusetts. Then in 1926 she boards another famous ship the TSS "California" and heads on a trip to the United Kingdom.
