Among the many summer camps
for girls in various parts Of the coun-

found anywhere than the Florida
girls at Indian Cave Park, Henderson,
IN. C. This camp is lecated high up
on Mt. Hebron at an altitude OF 1000
feet, and from It three different
states can be seen. The tents are
large and comfortably furnished.
Fried chicken and milk are in album
dance and the fact that all the girls
have acquired rosy cheeks and gain
ed from six 10 twelve pounds in the
first month Of camp, speaks wen.
Camp activities are va ried, and good
times enjoyed. Miss Marie Smith,

ltion committee, assisted by Miss Sally
May Sumner of st. Petersburg, and
Miss Elizabeth Williams, Of Jackson

have been taken this past month,
chief among them being the day spent
as the guests Of the boys at Campo
Kannga, Laurel Park, and the return
entertainment at Indian Cave Park.
