HOW TO GIMP.

Here are a few things worth remember
ing if you are going to camp out this sum-
mer: Spread your tent out on the grass,
and if there are any holes mend them at
once. a few holes in a tent on a rainy
night can do more damage to the pro-
visions and bedding than can be easily
remedied.
If you have not got a canvas fly. get one
if possible. OF course, every one knows
that a fly is large piece of canvas for
stretching over the ridge pole of a tent
a sort of second roof or covering. There
should be about eight inches between the
sides of fly and the top of the tent. This
will allow plenty of air to circulate and
viii do much toward making a tent COM
Portable and cool.
If you don't know how TO cook meats
and vegetables go out in the kitchen and
study little frying pan science. Most. of
all learn how TO make soda biscuits. There
is nothing nicer with a good hot camp
supper than nicely Drowned soda biscuits.
If It is possible take an old-fashioned
Dutch oven on your trip. They are mex
pensive, and a Dutch oven and a frying
pan are about all the things needed for
a 1rst-class camp kitchen. Have the box
in which the provisions are packed one
that you can use as a cupboard.
Clean dishes and a place 10 keep them
are among the necessities of camp life.
In making up your party choose COM
panions who are not selfish. SeiashneSs
will rust the best kind of happiness in
camp. Go with the idea of making the
best of everything, and don't complain.

Whistler perceiVeS that Nature is not

BOOKS REVIEWED.

Literature for June Is contains a
readable article on destructive bacilli
that lurk insidiously in the literary at
mosphere. 1t holds up the mirror to
that pitiable figure, the man without
reverences. No one will quarrel with
his opinion that ink is a great deal
more dangerous to the public welfare
than drugs, and in the hands of an ir-
responsible person can do more wide
spread harm than an equal amount Of
cyanide of mercury.
Marion Wilcox, in a recent feuilleton,
dealing with the influences that compel
a man as he writes, wonders if any
work of character can be called pure
creation. The article breathes the
thought that things within take shape
by pressure from without. Shall 1

SUMMER CLOTHING.

How many women know how TO pre-
serve sweet and clean their summer
dresses, shoes. corsets, and so one? Not
many, I fancy.
As soon as the corset is taken off it
should be sprinkIed with peroxide Of hy-
drogen ard allowed to lie in the sun and
air for several hours. Ribbed corsets are
more difficult 10 manage, but at no time
should they be rolled up, nor hung IN a
heap into some tisht-shut drawer
There should be an alienation OF cor
sets, to do away with the putting on OF
the same one each day, and two or three
inexpensive ones treated this way Will
help TO make the summer endurable in
spite of the sun.
Shoes. if they are high. should, when
taken off. be placed. inners out. on the
window sill or in some breezy place to get
the sun and air. The tops should be turn
ed back and the air allowed 10 circulate
IN the CreVices and into the SOleS as far dS
it possibly can. This will not only pre-
serve the shape and contour of the shoe.
but il will help TO keep it from getting
'leathery." Shoes are porous skin them
selves and wonderfully susceptible to in
fluences of climate and heat.
Blouse waists should have the shields
rDped out al once, after removing from
the body. and they should be sponged
with alcohol and water and hung in the
air to dry. The sleeves of the waist
should be turned wrong side out and al
