Primitive days

Ladies' Hall in the woods, from the Main, December
28, 1893
The wild forest in the primitive days of the early 80's
was "some place" to plant a ladies' dormitory .... It did happen
that girls venturing into the forest primeval lost their sense of direction
and spent an entire day finding their way back to civilization again.
That was before they hit upon the plan of tying white rags on the trees
to trace their way home.
