 Crouching uncomfortably on the ground to eat from a bag or box Is pleasant enough occasionally, but why do it for fortnight when folding chairs and tables take up so little room.
 In the food line also conveniences are permissible. There are folding shelves of canvas and ash slats on which hung out of the reach of inquisitive tn- sects and beasts, while a collapsible meat safe made of strong bobbinet that can be washed repeatedly suspended from a tree or in an cpeh tent, leaves meat and fish free to the air. yet out of reach of flies.

 For instance, there Is the eyesnip for that most trying of all fruit to prepare the pineapple. This Is nothing but a pair of scissors with a spoon on one side and a hollow blade into which it fits on the other.

 The problem of food. even Yin the wilds. is easily solved in these days of soup and bouillon tablets, dried eggs, onions and potatoes and other vegeta- oles, compressed milk, k,evaporateu fruits, cereals and sweet chocolate.

of glass. little old-fashioned panes have been put in, and these look quite quaint with the dainty swiss curtains against them. In the long ride of four or i've miles, that is the only house that stands out in my memory, the others all express so much sameness.
 The arrangement of the living room and the finishing touches are really what tell. There should be conn fortabIe chair for reading near the window. and one near the artificial light. The desk should be placed so as to have good light by day or night. The chairs should be arranged so as three little ones. There Should be one or two good ornaments and a few vases suitable for flowers, but no nick hacks. A few photographs about give a personal touch to room. which Is always desirable. as we want our Hv- ing room to be different from that Of a hotel.
 Have a plant or two and few flow CTS; and here let me remind you that there are lots of ways of arranging flowers, and individuality can be brought to bear in the arrangement Of flowers as much as in anything else. few long sprays of honeysuckle placed in a bowl on the top of a bookcase or mantle, and hanging over the coEner, are very effective; sprays from a WILLOW tree can be used in the same way: A great many people make tH6 uliSSaAo of putting too many mowers in one vase. Three roses, with lot of green. look infinitely prettier than a dozen or more. lightly punched together, so that the graceful lines of the flowers are hidden.
 Never have the table covers in your living room of light or fiimsy material; A pretty table cover can be easily ana quickly made of lattice cloth, which comes in beautiful shades Of golden brown, green and red. This cloth IS of a very coarse weave. Pull the threads so as to make two-lneh fringe all around. Knot two Of the threads together at intervals or about two inches, so as to prevent IL rom fraying, then work a simple design. such as the wall of Troy, with heavy embroidery thread. Pretty table covers can be made of reversible silk nnisheo off with a ball fringe.
 The pillows should not be too hsnt or they suggest the bedroom They can he made from almost anything, as IL is the colors that count in pillows. Often beautiful remnants of|cretonnes and tapestry can be bought for song, and will make very handsome plloW tops.

When placed straight against wall these pianos are ugly but when placed out in room or in bay window Gas in the iliustration) the effect Is rather like that of grand piano. and gives an imposing air to the room.
 The cozy corner shown is just a bed which was not in use. The end of the bed is put against the wall, and the green velour curtain goes over 1t and the pillows lean against it. The top of the bed was not used. for the end rests on two soap boxes.
