DWIGHT-WIMAN CLUB.

Has it been noted any where, as yet, that among 

 other domestic features of our cosy Camp-house there 

 was a kitten ? •* What a happy thought was that to 

 have a kitten on the hearth for us," said D wight, in 

 reminding the writer that, when he and some friends 

 went up, a week later, along with the * deep-mouthed 

 welcome ' of the kennelled hounds, the voice of the 

 little puss saluted the tired and hungry campers. Billy 

 the cook was to thank for that. He had carried the 

 little creature in his bosom one Sunday, all the way 

 from Gouldie's. " We carefully brought the little thing 

 out with us over the portages through the deep snow 

 when we came away," continued D wight. 



But was not everything about that Muskoka camp 

 of ours * Altogether lovely ' ? Andrew Carnegie him- 

 self — long life to him, must have been delighted with 

 our life * under the greenwood tree.' We were a band 

 of brothers in search of game and fresh air ; we found 

 both. If any one did not get his fill of novelty and fun, 

 it may be said without risk of offense that the fault was 

 his own. It was a good opportunity for becoming 

 better acquainted with nature and each other, for " A 

 day spent (together) in the contemplation of nature 

 converts hours into years of intimacy," as Marciana and 

 Aisma found in Carl Vosmaer's beautiful story of 

 The Amazon. : , - - v
