LAKE


The cottagers are making their ap-
pearance at the lake and the hunt for
houses is on. While there is no doubt
that many good houses are still for
rent, it is a fact not to be disputed
that the choicest bits in that line
have already been taken. AS soon as
the weather is settled and fair, there
will be the first exodus to the lake,
and that meal busy times.
Meadville Park this year shows a
number of changes. The two Newell
cottages have been sold, but Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank v. Haven, who occupied
one of the houses, will be out again
this season, and will open the cottage
some time in May. Mrs. s. P. Hold
ridge, who owned a house adjoining
her property, has sold it to MI. Powers,
who will move it back on his lake
property. The other cottage will remain
where it now stands, but the lot thus
vacated will be made an addition to
Mrs. Holdridge's pretty garden.

lot adjoins the Smith cottage. The
hall was torn down last winter, and
thu place will now be added as a gar.
den to the cottage. w. H. Wilson of
