Intending visitors often ask of Grand
Marais friends: "What shall we wear?''
Why not make the answer general, be.
cause it is hard to understand what such
enqrirers take this place to be. If you
have graces with which to charm the
savage breast wear breecb clou,s; OF her
wise, wear boomers. We're a peculiar
nomadic people here, with senses not
absolutely dull to things Of beauty.
