The Cost of Tents.

A tent large enough and strong enough to shelter two people comfortably can be bought tor ten dollars. With care It will laat years. Add three or tour flies, at an expense of a dollar and a half to five or six dollars each, and you have a summer palace. A fly above the tent makes It rainproof. A fly stretched over the front entrance makes a spacious veranda. Another fly at the back furnishes a luxurious kitchen, and an extra fly to run along the windward side of the kitchen protects the Are from a too enthusiastic breeze. The veranda fly and the 3lde one for the kitchen can be home made, of unbleached muslin. The roof should be of heavy duck. — "Harper's Bazar.”
