weather has been enough 10 dampen
their ardor. but you can't tell about
campers.
The first time the average crowd
goes camping they carry along list
Of paraphernalia that would make
your head swim even to attempt to
read e..
The enthusiasm with which they
greet the woods can be oqualled only
by Teddy's smile The hrst evening
is passed In a state OF efferyescense
and not until next morning does the
regular introduction to nature take
place. by that time the small insect
lvia, that dnfect even the most pictur-
esque OF sylvan solitudes have located
your anatomy and individually and
collectively begin 10 make foraging
expeditions upon your spinal column.
You are forced at night to protect
yourself from the rayenous mosquito
by so saturatlng your pillow and cloth
Ing with pennyroyal, that you are com
pelled to hold your nose. before you
can go to sleep. Then you dream that
you and T. r., are hot after the pack
ers with both the big stick and the
muck rake. Nevertheless you have
a royal good time. When you get
home you talk about the camp so
much that the neighbors are driven
TO placing a fine on the subject, that
they may live In peace. The second
time you go camping you start with
redoubled enthusiasm. But somehow
from the beginning II doesn't seem the
same. You cut out half the luggage
you carried before. Even the woods
do not seem quite so green. and some
indefinable something Is lacking
about the entire crowd. But there Is
one thing that time cannot wither and
age decay. and the next morning
bright and early they resume their
line of attack upon your backbone-for
by that time camping out has made
YOU call a spade. a spade, when talk
ing to your companions and what was
on the first trip timidly referredto as
a spinal column, Is now backbone
without any frills or furbelows. The
entire outing has lost its charm and
everything seems as II were, warmed
over. except the redbugs and mosqui'
toes and they are warmer than ever
The third time-you don't go.
