Nothing makes a camper angrier than to come upon a once clean site and find it cluttered with debris from the last occupant. It takes hut a little work to dig a hole for tin cans and left-overs, and It helps keep campaign places in decent sanitary condition.

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT Tq RUTH BURKE, CONTINUED Karl Whitney stopped, abashed. “I beg your pardon,” he said. “I did not think I was interrupting anything private.” Mother turned to him. “Karl,” she said, “I want to ask you some questions.” Alice groveled at my mother's feet, pulling her dress. “Don’t tell him, mother, don’t tell him. I did It because I love him. Don't tell him. He will always hate me, if he knows.” Poor Karl, Ruth, stood there looking very uncomfortable. Mother raised Alice to her feet, but looked at her In horror. It seemed to me that my mother was looking at her daughter as though she were a total stranger. Finally she found words: “You’ll excuse me for a little while, Karl.” she said. “Then I will clear this matter entirely up to your satisfaction as well as my own. “Leslie, I am telegraphing for your husband to bring the baby over himself. I think it’s important that he should be here. I know your father will want to see him as soon as he’s able to see any one.” As soon as mother and Alice had left the room, Karl turned to me and said: "What does this mean. Leslie? What 1s the matter with Alice? She hasn’t been herself for quite a while. In fact, I came over today to find out what was wrong with her?” * “Im going to ask you a very pertinent question, Karl? Are you very fond of Alice?” Karl hesitated, turning red. then white. I “Yes, I think lam as fond of her jas I ever will be of any woman. I : suppose. Leslie. I am what they call ! a one-woman man, but that is all ' gone by. We won’t talk about it.” ding present?” “Ka -1, may I give those pearls you gave me back to Alice for awed- “ What is the matter? Is all this fuss being made about that foolish string of pearls again. Alice doesn'i want those pearls.” "Yes, she does, Karl—so much so that she Is perfectly willing to break up my home to get them.” "Leslie. I can’t bear this, even from you. You must be mad.” The nurse came ifi at this moment, saying that my father wanted me. I spent the whole afternoon with ! him, and so here the matter stands. I Mother has sent for Jack.

Local Business Woman Finds Club Work Develops Individuality
Mrs, Sarah Major Avery Is* Corsetiere of Unusual Personality, By JUNE WINONA SNYDER r— — NE of the successful business O women of Indianapolis who is an active club worker is j Mrs. Sarah Major Avery. Mrs I Avery is interested in all movements | tending toward the advancement of women. She is a charter member of the Women’s Rotary Club, and served on its board two years. She is at present a member of the board of the Women’s City Club. She is also active in the Business Women’s Section of the Department Club. "The progressive business woman of today finds club life a valuable help. Mingling with other persons furnishes an interchange of ideas, makes one alert to the needs of women, afford necessary social diversion, and lends that indefinable thing called charm. It furnishes an | impetus to a larger work, and helps j much to mold individuality,” says j Mrs. Avery. Mrs. Avery’s continued participai tion in club affairs and her natural ! amiability have well fitted her for I dealing with a fastidious clientele. I She is a woman of broad experience, j speaks French fluently, and studied : with master corsetieres in both Paris | and London. She is a devotee of horseback riding. Mrs. Avery received the greater I part of her practical business experience with local firms, but, like all progressive business women, she j desired the privilege of working on a larger scale than is accorded the I average employe, and eight years j ago went into business for herself. !

Martha Lee Says Families Take on New Aspect After Marriage
A girl may ignore the family of the man she loves, before she marries him. She cannot after the wedding. So, too, with a man. It is all very well for an ardent suitor to decLaim passionately, “But you are marrying me, not my family. What if my mother does not approve of you, and my sister and you always are at sword points? They’re sure to learn to love you. And, any Way, I love you encAigh to make up for anything like that.”
All that sounds beautiful. But, after,; the marriage, when the man finds j that his mother and his sister have not changed their opinions; when he must divide his allegiance and be an everlasting peacemaker and diplomat; when the first glamor of romance fades and he begins to see his wife’s faults and to blame her ; for lack of sympathy with his fam-! ily—then he must' swallow his pas- j sionate words. A family may be dismissed with j hardly a thought, before marriage. Once it has become “in-laws,” it can- j not be so easily disposed of. ‘Only Fascination Dear Miss Lee: lor the last year and a half I have gone with a iellow whom ! I thought I loved at first. I learned later that it was only fascination. His sister and I quarreled. Naturally she told her side of the story to her mother. Now his mother is set against me. I never have met her. "but have heard what she said about me. This fellow's family does not like me, and I like it no better. When I tell him this he says I am not marrying the family. but him. But I have heard these stories before. This woman who is to become my mother-in-law would be sure to cause trouble and his sister would try to influence him against me. too. This fellow loves me dearl.’. but I want to get rid of him. He talks of marriage all the time, but hasn't enough money to make his dreams come true Besides.

friend, very well; if he is not willing to accept friendship alone, you can use the stringent method of not being “at home” to him. You are right about “in-laws.” At the same time you seem to have been wrong in your attitude toward this family. Evidently you have not tried very hard to gain the mother's good will, since you have not even met her. Sixteen in Love Dea- Martha Lee: lam a girl 16 years of age. I have been going with a bunch of girls from six months to two years older than me. Consequently I act, feel and think as these giris do. For two months I have been going pretty steady with a fellow 22 years of age He is very nice and tells me he loves me, although he says he would never marry until he was able to support a wife comfortably. I love him and think he is right. > 1. Am I too young to go steady with this fellow? 2. Am I too young to know what love Is? * 3. Am I too young to think of marriage ? TROUBLED. 1. Yes. 2.
