1t was certainly an ideal spot and very
attractive with its many invitingly
comfortable looking hammocks swung
to the breezes, whispering through the
mountain pines; and fortunate the one
who found on that signpost the name
of some friend, for Camp Enchantment
welcomed him with open arms. A
casual observer might have supposed
too, that he had run into the headquar-

display of American flags.
1t was really one of the most delight

Mrs. Frances Moeller has returned
from two months visit to Pacific
