back I might feel differently, but she's so rough and unladylike."

"Ethel, environments may have had much to do with that. She seems to love
your mother. But here comes Patty with young Kip."

"What a dandy site you have here for a Camp," said the young man. "Gee!
it's choice. It beats ours."

When dinner was ready how they ate! They pronounced it equal to the
best shore dinner ever prepared, and when finished there was nothing
left excepting clam shells and corn cobs.

That was Mrs. Hollister's last day in Camp. She had been with the girls
for two weeks. After leaving Camp she was to spend half of her time with
Kate's parents and the remaining with Aunt Susan.

Harvey and Teddy stayed until nearly five o'clock, and it was with regret
on both sides that they had to go.

The next day being Sunday, Kate read the prayers while they all sung
several hymns, after which each girl was left to do as she chose. Ethel
proposed to ride horseback. Several joined together and hired a buckboard
for the afternoon.

"We'll meet you at the Lake," they said to Ethel, and off they went.

It was a warm afternoon. The sky looked alternately bright, then cloudy,
but they started not minding though it rained.

Nora declined to join the buckboard party and strolled off by herself.
