One Of the most delightful of the
mountain camps is that of Edward
Silent, Frank Thomas, Allen Balch and
DR.. John r. Haynes, in the San Fer
nando canyon. The road leading up to
the camp winds through the mountain
pass, up through the Topanga wash,
and at last leads to the most beautiful
glade with a clear, cold stream of wa
ter trickling down between banks of
ferns. 1t is necessary TO walk for
about a mile after leaving the auto
mobiles, and when the camp is sighted
an exclamation of surprise escapes one,
for there is a most charming group of
cottages built of dark red canvas.
There is an enormous porch rooted over
and we'll supplied with great co2y
couches and tables for bridge. All the
various cottages are connected by
plank bridges. There is an artificial
rain" which when turned on sprinkles
the roofs and cools the atmosphere
when the air is too warm. In each of
the cottages is a shower bath and run
ming water, and there is also a most
delightful swimming pool, where the
water is sparkling and inVigorating.
Up the raVine is the dining room, built
in a clearing banked with rocks and
filled in, and the lice box a Wide
stream Of ice-cold water keeps the
butter hard and the melons cool The
day l was there Mr.. Silent had just
brought in two deer, and the Venison
steaks were simply delicious. There is
also a winter house of cement, with
large fireplace, where enormous logs
are burned when the fail days are on
and one cannot be comfortable in the
canvas houses. The path up to the din
ing room is lighted by japanese Ian
terms, and as there are no mosquitoes
the lights are kept burning early and
late. | know Of no more delightful
place for the week end, and the charm
ing hosts are most generous with their
hospitality.
