c a m ping Out.

Has your dinner lost its SAVIOR?
Has your greeting lost its cheer?
Is your daily stunt a burden?
Is your laughter half sheer?
There's medicine to cure you,
There's way to lift your load,
With horse and saddle and mile of open road.
Is your .eyeball growing bilious?
Is your temper getting short?
Is this life blind delusion,
Or grim, unlovely sport?
There's a world of health and beauty,
There's heap that cannot fail,
In day behind the burros dusty mountain trail
Come out, old man, we're going
To a land that's free and large,
Where the rainless skies resting
On snowy mountain marge.
When camp in Gods own country,
You will find yourself again,
With fire and blanket and the stars upon the plain!

Charming Spzing Weaz

Rough materials for everyday wear
that is, for the short tailor costume-are
fashionable, but for smarter gowns the
smooth cloths and smooth effects in all
materials are tHe most in demand. Chit
fon cloth is In favor again. while light
weight cloths and serges of all kinds
are very smart. In fact, says Harper S
Bazaar, to have at least two serge cos
tunes in the summer outfit is thought
necessary, and the white serge and blue
serge gowns that are always so useful
will be tremendously smart this season
Silks of all kinds. excepting figured fou-
lards, will again be in style.S but here
again the plain effects and the change
able are preferred, although there are
some little narrow hair lines of contrast
Ing color in the light silks that are very
effective. Strange to say, the popular
shepherds plaid has not met with the
violent death that was predicted for 1t
last year after the terrible epidemic of

appeared in cloth and silk simply for
the useful short gown with coat to
match or in the silk shirtwaist gown.

The Modern Kitchen

The kitchen must be well ventilated,
lighted and fitted with perfect cooking
apparatus, whether coal. gas, or cleo
tricity.
Proper plumbing and drainage are i'm
portant. both for health and convent
cnce sake. says the Philadelphia In
Quirer.
A wainscoting of tile, with wall above
painted a dull blue or gray, is the most
durable and easily cared for finish fer
the kitchen, and also the cheapest in the
! end, as it seldom requires renovation
Bother than that of washing down.
An expensive and invaluable appoint
ment is the hot metal table" which is
constructed in a manner to be heated by
pipes which are laid back and forth -un-
der Its bed and in connection with the
range boiler, the water turned off and
on at pleasure. Different sizes rende:
this table available in kitchens of vari-
Gus sizes.
The kitchen should be without odors
by virtue of a range hood which gathers
them.
