and play, will ~overshadow all else at this
resort In the heart of the Adirondack
this season. for the 100 per cent loyalty
Of sojourners here was demonstrated last
summer. The Red Cross work will go
forward on an even more extensive scale
than last season, when the efforts OF the
Lake Placid branch of that organization.
which is headed by Mrs. George a.
Stevens. were supplemented by three
auxiliaries. BY one of these, the White
lace Inn auxiliary, In which Mrs. j. j..
Sweeney is active. an effort this ummer
will b made to excel its splendid record
Of last season when. in addition to Knit
ting and shipping hundreds Of articles. a
sum suficient to equip and place an
ambulance In the field was raised as a
result of card parties, dances, moonlight
AXE excursions and other events. On a
larger scale this policy Of turning social
events to practical account in war relief
work will be pursued by the Red Cross
hotel a%uxtliaries, with the result that
! Lake Placid will be more gay and
| delightfully entertaining than it has ever
| been before and every hour of work or
play will count for the boys over there
Camper and membe of the cot
tage colony are generally planning an
early return. George Hamlin. the Chi
cago tenor. who annually spends his
seasons here. has returned with his
family and opened his new Swiss chalet
on the slope of Signal Hill. Victor
Herbert will come up soon with MS
family and begin work on some new
productions for next winter. Many or
Mr.. Herbert's best light operas have
been worked out at his Camp Joyland on
the shore of Lake Placid. Marcella
Sembrich, who annually spends each
season here. will again return to her
cottage at the club, where she Is ex-
pected very soon.
Nv the members of the shore own
ers' association and the Adirondack
Camp ard Trial Club much has al
ready been accomplished toward put
ting the vicinity trials in conditioh
for use. The ascent of Marcy. WHITE
face and other giants Of the Adiron-
dacks are favorite hikes.
This gives promise of being an ex-
cellent fishing season in the waters
about Lake Placid. Already a number
of trout of good size have been brought
In and there is much speculation as TO
whose fortune 1t will be to hook the
big fellows for annually one or more
