An interesting feature Of the Moose
head landscape this season will be one
hunting party, composed exclusively OF
women. All OF them have been in the
woods before, and sre accustomed 20
roughing il. But heretofore they have
been under masculine escort. They want
TO show their husbands that women can
20 about in the Maine woods with entire
safety, aud have far better time in 8
party by themselves than in company
with the men. Under the new guide law
ii is easy TO secure responsible men 20
conduct parties of this nature, and il is
likely that there will be other strictly
feminine excursions into the deep woods.
No danger Of their shooting men for
deer il spprehended.
