Forest leaves . s that afford beautiful drives; and smooth, broad trailsthat wind everywhere up and down the steep slopes, which, with thegeneral absence of underbrush, give these woods a park-like appearance.One would have to go a long way back in the mountains to find any darkand gloomy forest suggestive of evil spirits and goblins, such as we readof in the beautiful story of Undine. It may be well to note here that, although the percentage of wood-land in many European countries is great, or greater than in the Stateof New York, there are few large areas of contiguous forest such asexist in the Adirondacks and Catskills. This is because forestry opera-tions in the Old World are based on the fundamental principle that allland which is fit for agricultural purposes—which can supply food forthe people—must be used for that purpose; and that all land which willnot produce food must be used to supply wood for the wants i^i the.people. From the farm, people obtain food and clothing; from the forest, . Fagot Gathering in a Swiss Forest. 6 FOREST LEAVES their houses and shelter. Both needs must be supplied. Hence, throughout Europe the valleys and fertile lands are cultivated by the farmer;the mountain slopes and sand plains by the forester. The summer hotels and sanitariums in the European forests are notscattered in isolated positions, as is the case with many of our Adirondackresorts. They are grouped in localities that possess natural attractions, scenic or sanitary, favorable to the development of hotel business. In thisrespect they are like the farmers in Europe, who seldom live on theiifarms, but collect themselves in a hamlet or dorf, whence they walk eachday to their respective fields. Now the hotelkeepers, like the farmers, aregregarious. This enables the hotels to maintain in common a large centralbuilding—Casino, Conversatiunhaus. Trinkhalle or Kurhaus, as it is vari-ously called—where all the guests can gather to visit, drink the waters, and hear the ba
