RECREATION CAMP. 



Summer home of Mr. M. L. Howes, on Lake Champlain. 



Being out of health last summer, I was 

 obliged to give up my business and get 

 away from the city. We went to Putnam, 

 N. Y., on Lake Champlain and built this 

 camp. The name was suggested by my 

 wife, and both of us being readers of Rec- 

 reation we agreed the name would be en- 

 tirely appropriate. 



This view was taken from the D. & H. 

 R. R. track, which crosses Mill bay in front 

 of our camp and from which the name on 

 the camp can be seen for nearly half a mile. 



This picture was made with the Bo Peep 

 camera you gave me as a premium, 2 years, 

 ago. Success to Recreation. 



M. L. Howes.
