THE CATSKILLS, LAKE GEORGE AND GREEN MOUNTAINS.
In answer to the oft-repeated queries, “Did you have your journey
last summer?” and “Where did you go?” we reply, “Oh, yes; we had a

the sixth, we made ready, and at a fairly early hour in the morning
everything had found its own place in the phaeton and we were off.
As usual, we had made no plans, but our thoughts had traveled
Maineward, until at the last moment the Catskills were suggested.
The heat which often lingers about the Fourth was at its height, and
the thought of Princeton’s bracing air was so refreshing we gladly
started in that direction. We drove leisurely, taking in the pretty views
and gathering flowers, camped by the roadside two hours at noon,
and then on through Princeton to Rutland. We visited that pretty
town three years ago, when the Mauschopauge House was being
built, and we resolved then to spend a night some time under its
