LAKE MAXINKUCKEE, Sept. 81.
The beautiful fall season urges
many cottagers to lengthen their
stays at Lake Maxinkuckee. When
the wind begins to blow over Maxim
kuckee, the cottagers realize that
this usually mild gale will continue
for three days. 1t rarely fails and
so it has been during the latter part
of this week. The gardens of the
cottagers are unusually colorful
making rainbow color contrasts with
the autumn leaves Of the trees and
shrubs.
Across the back of Roy E. Shane
berger's summer home, The Ship
House, dahlias, asterS. and mari
Colds bloom along the walks
through the yard. Another lovely
walk is the one leading from the
Lake-dr to the summer home Of
Mrs. C. G. Perry. The whole length
is in bloom.
Vests Return
While some cottagers find interest
in their gardens, others take ad-
vantage of this season of the year
for building and repairing. This de-
lightful weather we are having
brought the Herbert B. Vests back

building of a new garage which is

summer home, completed last spring.
