BEFORE WE ENTER THE FOREST 



Forest will reveal to everj^ listener^ I will re- 

 peat what that forester said: 



*^I have just finished reading your admir- 

 able articles. Will you let me say I have read 

 them with the keenest pleasure. Their dainti- 

 ness, kindliness, originality, and charming 

 fancy have made me enjoy them very much in- 

 deed. I sincerely hope they may be published 

 and widely circulated, for they are far too good 

 to be suppressed. They will be read with profit 

 and delight.

And now, to the Forest Service for its pic- 

 tures of the woods, and to all who have helped 

 show me the way, let me gladly offer thanks, 

 before we enter the Forest,
