Suggestion: The Place of the
Present Organizations of Women.
Too little attention is given to or.
CARNATIONS of women. More and more
every woman is being drawn into some
sort OF club or association, and as a
result women are growing less morally
and mentally near-sighted.
Inc daily papers which lead us to be-
lieve that women foregather simply to
wage word war and display their mil
hnery are misleading, for those who
know can testify that such is not the
caSe-the war and the millinery being
only feminine characteristics of the most
superficial sort and signifying no more
than mems tobacco smoke
The women's organizations have done
much in moral and civic way, and their
work is marching on. For instance, the
American people possess Mount Vernon
as Mecca for patriotic pilgrims be-
cause OF devoted group of women, and
| they have to thank the Daughters of the
American Revolution for most of our
other historical landmarks. The buying
in OF Washington's headquarters at Val
ley Forge, which otherwise would have
gone under the, hammer, is instanced as
only one of their good works. They
carry on practical charity as well.
The Women's Christian Temperance
Union is one of the quieteSt but most eff
hclent OF women's organizations. What
they do for errlng girls-and to pre-
vent young girls from treading the dark
ways-is a beautiful story in itself, aside
from Their warfare against intemperance,
their work in the jails, etc.
The United Daughters of the Con-
federacy have largely been the cause of
the union, now so strongly cemented be-
tween the north and the south If 1.-THE
women of the south made the war;" as
they have been accused of doing, then
have they bound up the wounds they
caused.-The Delineator.

Needs of Walking Trip
Two summers ago | took walking
trip through the mountains of New York
with my husband, his college chum and
his college chum's sister, and ever since
my friends have deluged me with cues
tions about mountain climbing" a young
married woman whose husband is in
business in New York told the reporter.
While we don't look upon ourselves as
mountain climbers We enjoyed the tramp
so much that we are going to repeat it
this summer.
Instead of the mountains of New York
we are going to begin in North Carolina
and perhaps tramp through Virginia and
Maryland. And instead of my hus-
bands chum and his sister we are to
have the chum, his wife and the sister
and her husband. You see we must
have had a good time to be able to rope
III these two newcomers.
My husband, being a natural born
skinfiint, kept account of every cent
spent during the trip, so we ali know
that If it hadn't been for our stopping
over at hotels once in while we, the
four of us, would have seen the noun
tains of this state for less than s.
week. My husbands chum's sister and
L. being young and frivolous and only a
few years out of college, insisted on hav-
ing a trunk full of good clothes shipped
by express from place to place and on
spending at least one night at the best
hotel in each place and being allowed to
show our clothes.
I'VE are TO take trunks with us this
summer also, one for each family.
Though each woman will pack one gown
suitable for hotel wear, many of the
frivolities of two years ago will be left
behind. You see when we packed for
our first trip we had to depend on the
experience and advice of my husband
and the other girls brother. This time
we have experience of our own, which
makes it easier.
You mustn't imagine that because we
tramped with men we allowed them to
be the pack carriers. The first stipula-
ton | made after gaining my husband
consent to take me with him was THAI
| was to carry my own pack, which
should contain an even division of our
outfit.
"In the first place we had two tents.
These tents were carried by the men, so
their packs were or 6 pounds heavier
than those of the women. AS l now
remember, when he started ont the girls
pack-that is the way they We're deslg-
nated-weighed little less than 20
pounds, while those Of the men weighed
something more than p.
planning for our coming tramp we
are keeping in mind that strength and
comfort are the two requisites to be con-
sidered and that looks is the last point
to be thought about. Tramping through
a rugged country will test the strength
of the strongest clothing you can buy
For our men folks we are preparing
one pair of corduroy trousers, canvas or
leather leggings, an easy fitting coat,
light in weight, but warm, and heavy
gray or blue flannel shirt. AS head COW
ering they will wear soft hats, while for
their feet they have all had made wide,
soft walking shoes with extra heavy
soles and rubber heels.
For our own wear we three women
will have short golf skirts of dark wool
en- homespun or serge, flannel shirt
waists, knickerb0ckers of flannel or fine
serge union suits of cotton or Isle
thread canvas leggins, shoes similar TO
those of our husbands and soft felt hats
with bright colored scarfs.
I'VE shall rse the same tents as on our
first trip. with the addition of fly for
each. These, the two tents and the flies,
will be carried by the men. Otherwise
our outfit will be about equally dIstrlb-
uted into six packs, which we expect to
be few pounds lighter than those car
ried two summers ago.
Our knapsacks are made of very ilght
wood and rubber cloth. with waterproof
compartments for matches cameras,
films and other articles that might be IN
iured by getting wet. Our cooking uten-
sis consist of an aluminium frying pan
with a cover and rather large sauce
