Twenty-Five Girls Open Camp At the Babcock Farm.

Dauntless, persevering and decided, in spite of the rain and regardless of all obstacles, with the elements against them and opposed by the cooler judgment of their sedate parents, about 25 young girls, swathed in endless yards of blankets and the like, left for Parr today, being driven out on hay ladders by one of J. L Babcock’s farm hands. The girls are all friends of Miss Edna Babcock and they will establish a camp in the woods near the Babcock home. Several tents have already been raised and furnished, awaiting their arrival. If they execute their plans with the same courage they started out with today, they will hold camp until Monday. It is understood they have invited several young men out as their guests for Sunday.
