AFive years ago I spent the summer
! camping In the Adirondacks, and again
last summer. On our tirst trip the cot
was something like 40 q month for the
mo OF us. Last summer It was lees. and
We had just as good an outing
The speaker was q woman whose hus-
band 10 employed in b large mercantile
hous9 on q small salary. 4
sYou know my husband hasn't the
very best health. and evary few year, hs
has to lay Oh for q few months and rest
up,- abe continued. THAT wa the reason
FOR our frst trip to the Adiroudacks.
AS I had to do all the buying | know
just what the outfit costs. At first
thought OF renting the two tents which
my husband said we're necessary. but
on finding that the rent YVES from $50
to 8 q week. whils the cost Of the Sms
tent new was only from ESQ to 80. l
decided 10 buy outright.
.Thres dollars would have bought IN
tho utensils We needed, but q We were
keeping house In = Dat I simply borrowed
from my own kitchen. Beeades i've ten
cent pie plates I took three din cups. three
knives aud a. many forks. teaspoons and
tablespoons. two frying pans, . broiler.
two kettles and two coffee pots.
.Hevins taken points frctn ny hue

trip, / decided that beyond tbs few art-
cIes OF canned food I was able TO pack In
with the tents and our clothes II would
he "A cheap and less trouble TO buy them
at the village nearest our camp. This
proved to be true.
.In selecting clothes for tbs e~xpediton
I followed the advice Of the salesman in

to take a. Few thinss e. posstuls: put %
