Several prominent st. Louisans enjoyed
q unique outing this summer. which
proved so pleasant and novel that they
contemplate repeating It at the first OPP
portunity. Mr.. Charles H. Huttig. presi-
dent Of the Third National Bank. AND
Mrs. Huttig, Mr.. Isaac s. Orr OF the st.
Louis-Union Trust Company. and Mrs.
Orr. and Mr.. George s. Myers Of the
Iggett & Myers Tobacco Company spent
their vacation in the hills of Idaho. on
the crest of the great divide and quite
remote from the haunts Of men.
There. fifty miles from st. Anthony, and
r~eachable only by age are two hunt
ing lodges, about seven miles apart from
each other. One of these lodges is the
property OF Mr.. Myers. the other belongs
to Reid North-op. The Northrop lodge
was occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Huttig,
while Mr.. and Mrs. Orr were the guests
Of Mr.. Myers. The Myers lodge is a large
ten-room log house. with an immense re-
ception hall. at the end of which Is a
large decorative fireplace. IN which a
cheerful log fire is kept burning all the
time. Here Mr.. Myers lives ABOUT sixty
days of each year, enjoys the hunting and
fishing season and plays host to his
friends. who come TO see him in this de-
lightfui exile. The lodge is finely equipped
and exceedingly comfortable. A full corps
of servants and an excellent chef make
life a dream in this out-of-the-way place.
Mr.. and Mrs. Huttig. who were the
guests OF Mr.. Myers, declare that they
never sat down to as fine a meal. more
elegantly served. even at the Waldorf
Astoria. thai that which they enjoyed in
Mr.. Myers's hospitable wilderness. AS

shot a h~alf-dozen sage hens on the way
to I'll the iarder OF the new arrivals, and
then took them with him to his lodge.
The Northrop lodge. which Mr.. and Mrs.
Huttig occupied for a fortnight. is a COM
modious eight-room log house. finely To-
Gated, within a short distance of Snake
River. where good trout fishing can be
enjoyed all the time. In this sport Mrs
Huttig Joined her husband every day. and
soon acquired the knack of catching the
wary, elusive fab. Mr.. Huttig met with
good luck on the very outset OF his trip.
While driving from st. Anthony to the
lodge, a distance of fifty miles. the guide
discovered a gray wolf several hundred
feet ahead Of the trail and told Mr.. Hut
tig to shoot. His aim proved better than

middle Of the backbone. The skin. a fine
one, will be one of the trophies which win
decorate the new Huttig home in Wash

turned from their owe outing a week
ago. but Mr.. Myers and his guests. the
Orrs, are still following sage hens and
brook trout with rod and gun.

that the raris fashion Of the black veil
