of the temple which forms a canopy

Amy one wandering in the vicinity of
Saylor's Lake last week might have
stumbled upon picturesque little village
of tents, romantically situated near the
waters of the lake, where the pleasures of
social friendly intercourse prevailed and
shut out the rough existence beyond the
line. In this temporary village of pleasure
under the appropriate title of "Camp limo
cents Abroad" our popular young friends
Levi Horn, Charles Goth, w. f. BieTy and
Austin Boyer might have been found, as
could also County Supt. T. A. Snyder and
famiiy,and the estimable Miss Aggie, John
and Willie Hauk, who were titled Camp
Tourists" The other camps were. known
as "Malgabach," #" "Laziness," "We Are"
and "Comfort, F" and their occupants hailed
from Stroudsburg, Easton, Scranton and
other towns, making coterie of intel,i.
gent and accomplished people as seldom
assemblies under similar circumstances.
The pleasures of the weekiwere programmed
in pleasant little gatherings and concluded
Sunday evening with farewell reception
by the "Innocents Abroad' at Camp
Malgabach,' where a delightful little sup
per was served consisting of ice cream,
lemonade and cake. During the evening
pertinent addresses we're made by Squire
Boyer, of Weissport, and Representative
Evans, Of Easton, and the ladies responded
in recitation and song. Camp Innocents
are loud in their praise of Camp Malgabacl
the latter being composed of ladies, anC
the name "Malgabach" being a combina
tion of the first letter of their given names
The ladies are of Stroudsburg's elite socie
ty, esteemed, accomplished and beautiful
and of whom that staid old town can fee
more than proud, There are many pleas
ant little incidents connected with tn
camp that will long be a source of pleasur
to recall, for instance Biery was duhbel
Lazyness, because 1t took him two hour
TO go for milk which soured before he re
turned; Levi was known as the 'deyote
or model darkey driYer" Goth as the dud
and Squire Boyer as the Chinaman. Bu
we take mp too much room. STROLLER
