graduated ourselves on It's pleasures, although

but without seriously Interfering with tho en-

Life, here in this grand old woods ID really On
joyable to those who want quiet and rest. Iho
two-storv tents built by tho Association last year

homes are made to look cosy aud attractive, and

August when il is 80 desirable to get away from
the heat, aud dust, and hustle of city and-towD.
And then il can be had at comparatively small
cosv. The Association has put the two'story
tents at $40 to any family renting them for the
season. They will comfortably accommodate
Blk or eight, or even ten persons II they do not
mind being packed Il little. One large dry goods
box, would contain all the requisites for house
keeping, which could not DO put in trunks.
Bunks, and straw for beds, are furnished by the
Association. No more beautiful woods for
% camping out" can be found. There is no un-
dergrowth and tho air has free play Yet the
| trees are near enough to each other, generally,
| TO make an almost solid shade. The ground ~
| level, and sufficiently elevated to be dry and
| pleasant The water is very abundant, clear and
| soft
