is spending her vacation at the Young
Womens Christian Association Camp
Canadohta, Pa. Miss Heise writes:
"Well, Emily and | are now safely
installed in Camp Canadohta, and are
beginning to feel like old timers,
which the majority of the girls up
here are, for they come every summer
and, indeed its worth it.
THE camp is a beautiful place
consisting of two large buildings
known as the Main Hall, which name
is descriptive of the same, and the
annex, in which we are located. We
are on the second floor-right wing
on the rear porch right adjoining the
bathroom, which is certainly luxury,
considering the number of bathrooms
and the number of girls to make the
last minute rush in the morning at
1880
There is also large boathouse to
the left, where the stunts are held
on stunt Night which is generally
Wednesday night
1.-The lake, which is a perfect
beauty, stretches all around the front
of the buildings and around the right
side. To the rear is forest, which. |
think, is mostly oak and pine, pine
trees pYedominating, which, OF course,
makes it fine to walk through as the
pine needles make such lovely car
pet 1t is full of nice, sweet, wild
Strawberries and raspberries, too, and
we are going to spend a whole after
noon in the woods some day for which
We get an honor, and when We have
five honors we get headband (black
satin with the word 'Canadohta' on it
in silver)
'Honors are earned in the following
manner. or other ways:

week; second, regular attendance at
