FOR THE GIRL WHO CAMPS

Some Things That Will Add to ths Pleasure of the Summer Outing. Take along a good supply of stories to tell. Around the campfire at night a good story teller is an acquisition. Not only is a supply of jokes good; but weird stories, ghost stories, anima) stories will all be listened to with avidity. Not all evenings will be spent around the campfire, but some will and the good talker will add much to the evening’s pleasure. The girl who can make a good fudge or any other kind of good candy is usually voted a brick on a camping trip. If you are not expert, practice a hit beforehand; and remember that in camp you won't have all the conveniences for candy-making that you have at home. A hot water bottle, ready-made mustard plasters, arnica, remedies for scratches and bruises and blistered feet and mosquito bites —this doesn’t sound like a hilarious time, but there’ll be a good time just the same—all such things are liable to be in demand. •
