 The ladies seem inclined to follow the men to the woods, 

 as tliey ha^(' on tlie l>icycl-:' and iLioIf <ii-oiinds. Tliey need 

 not fear the fatii;ne of a canoe trip over the waters of 

 Maine, as they wili find it far less fatiiinini»" tlian a season 

 s])ent at one of onr summer hotels; nor need they wait for 

 an escort, as in !he hands of the rei»ister(Ml i^uides of Maine
