Excerpt from Bethlehem and Its Surroundings With increase of travelers has come a change for the better in the attempts to estab lish familiar relations with natural scenery. This is especially true of White Mountain travel. Instead of hastening from one point of interest to another, jaded in body and wearied in mind, the greater number of mount ain pilgrims establish themselves in boarding houses, farm-houses, and cottages, and from these temporary homes sally forth in mount ain wagons, carryalls, and buck boards, to enjoy in a comfortable and leisurely way the grand old hills. As a result of this change of fashion, farm-houses are enlarged and modern ized, new villages spring up as by enchant ment, and old ones enlarge their bounds.
