The Hotel del Monte, or "Hotel of the Forest," one of the most comfortable, best-kept, and moderate-priced hotels of America, lies amid bluegrass lawns and exquisite grounds, in some ways recalling the parks of England's gentry, though including among its noble trees such un-English specimens as the sprawling and moss-draped live-oaks and the curious Monterey pines and cypresses.
You could afford to take a moderate-priced tour." Hephzy laughed over her knitting. "I guess," she said, "I haven't gone for the reason you haven't, Hosy. You could afford, it, too you know you could. But how could I go and leave you?
The basis of successful work is a good lens, which is really the eye of the camera. In selecting it we should get just as good a one as we can afford.
