LAKE HELEN.
The uncommon beauty of the place caught the
eye of wealthy visitors and immediately cottages
began to spring up on the shores of Lake Helen.
Queen Ann cottages, designed by Mace, the Ohio
architect, and roomy veranded dwellings, vie with
each other in beauty. These are painted in deli
cate and pretty shades-grays, drabs, creams
etc.,-with gables, towers, balconies and other
features in keeping with their style. In fact
everything about Lake Helen is ornamental.

way is to set the eggs, and within a week

at the remarkable regularity with which
they occurred.
