fair to DO II largo one. The Piazza Club

and take IA daily dip into tho swimming
pool, others climb Mount Jefferson for
that superb view by day or moonlight
or explore the mysteries of the Isabella
Stairway. The most popular walk is
to the lovely glen where rushing

Lodges. its foaminE surface playing with
the overhanging branches and calming
itself in a quiet pool which mirrors
the chaste stems OF the maidcnhair.
And high over all is the great bridge
