OPEN AIR IS LATEST FAD
Scene in the forest, where
Once upon a time a little and swift
footed young hunter of royal blood
and kingly bearing stole his silent
way Into a glen of Arcadia. In the
shadow of leafy shelter suddenly he
paused. Upon his startled ears, deli
cately attuned to hear the slightest
footfall of quarry, fell the sound of
Jcy-giving music. There was a call,
a lure in the notes which he could not
resist. With steps yet silent, but
quickened with the eagerness to dance,
he made his way to a place where he
could see and not be seen. Before him
was staged a scene more charming
than mortal eye ever had looked upon
before. Pan was seated on a grassy
hummock, making melody on his pipes,
and around him, on sward close
cropped to ballroom smoothness by the
grazing of gentle deer, nymphs were
dancing. In a circle round about them
the wild things of the forest gathered
entranced. Our hunter was young. He
forgot his caution. He leaped into the
midst of the absorbed group, laughing
and seeking to clasp about the waist
the most beautiful of the nymphs as
his partner.
Instantly all disappeared; the youth
fdund himself prostrate in a barren.

Claude McColloch was wandering
over the? mountainside, looking over
the family properties near Baker.
Upon his startled ears fell the notes
of softly syncopated music, broken
now and again by the sounds of sil
very laughter. Quietly he stole to a
place where, behind a shelter of vine
maple, he could see without being
seen.
Upon a grassy spot a merry group
was dancing in the moonlight, and
their steps gained rhythm from the
canned music of a talking-machine.
Near by were automobiles that solved
the secret of their presence. Near by
the wild things of the woods the gray
diggers and the chipmunks and the
young rabbits watch fascinatedly. In
the dance and in the music there was
call, a lure. But our friend took
counsel of mythology. He resisted.
When . the record ended, he silently
stole away, but with an idea and a
plan for a party of his own with the
help of the contrivance that echoes
the pipes of Pan. '
