setting of rare charm is g chain OF
lakes that makes up what is called

shores of these lakes are beautiful roads
dotted with suburban homes as artistic
enthusiastically and with as graceful
settings as can be found in almost any
part Of America.
Tunumerabl bic canoes are on these lakes
with small sailcraft Of every kind and

found side by side on street and in hotel

Those in broad brimmed hats are smita-
