Under the leadership of Mrs. Lutte
Baker Gum. recently returned from
a Ioag soiourn in Boston, a pedestrian
club has been organized among some
OF the young women and young ma

Field and Forest club. For several
weeks they have been devOting one
morning each week 10 cross country
tramps. and their walks have varied
from FIVE 10 ten miles This week
they have planned a moonlight excur-
sion. Saturday evening the memfers,
now numbering about Is, will gather
at the street car station at o'clock.
They will take the car 10 Springbrook
and tramp from there through the
hills 20 Mishawaka Thursday morn

tramped TO Rum village TO gather wild
flowers.
The club is a new and wholesome
innovation in South Bend There are
several small organizations and crowds
in the city which have made excursions
into-the open at intervals but none
which have taken up pedestrianism
Systematically. In Boston, where Mrs.
Gum has been spending several
months such organizations are quite
common. One club. the Appalachian,
has l.e00 members, an the Boston
Field and Forest club has 200 mem

long are eager for a large membership.
