out. and the Meccas Of careworn mann
mas and whiting buds are no longer
interesting to us. True. we spent last
summer at Newport, but the inter
minable round of social functions and
the constant wear and tear OF toilet and
demi-toilet tired us out long before
the season had waned. When we re-
turned to town we We're positive

how mortified | was when overheard
stage whispers like: Dear Ethel it's
very sad; she's positively fading
away; THAT poor Mrs. Bronson looks
like ghost, "They say that George

OF delight and pledged her word that
she would induce Harry to join her

the camp by George Starkey, our Ad-
irondack guide. is in the little valley at
the foot Of Nj. st. Anthony. 1t is

Cecil was in raptures. Harry was
charmed. Walter gave vent to his sat

We brought very little baggage with
us. Cecil and wore plain travelling
dresses on the steamer, up to White
| hall and in the carryall that took us
over to Keeseville. Here we ceased
to wear long dresses, and took to our
| bicycle rigs. Slowed away in our tele-
scopes were half dozen shirt waists
four jackets, three bicycle skirts, our
mackintoshes and few articles of ap-
parel that are absolutely Indispensable
