New York State owns 10000 acres In
the Catskll region, and movement has
been started at Kingston to enlarge this
tract very materially and form State
park like that which has been began IN
tho Adirondacks. "Mauy privaL, parks
have within recent years been established
in these mountains" says Gart>n and
Forest, "and despite the fact that they
were formed to accommodate colonies OF
summer visitors, the preservation OF the
forests has been helped, not hindered, by
them. The amount of forest which is
cleared for the building OF houses is very
small in comparison to that which mus
be preserved to perretuate the charm o
the neighborhood and outlook upon
which the value of the dwelling ue
pends."

Miss O'Brien, during childhood, was
bright, precocious, individual and indie
pendent, but not until her last years al

Will be Increased, and all the money
needed to push the paper forward to
