MAKING PLANS FOR CAMPING |
Matter Of Appropriate Clothing M"St
Be Rec<oned az One OF High
Importance.

With the increased interest In
camping out as a part OF summer
life there are probably few girls who
have not tried It and many to whom
It Is a regular feature OF each year 9
pleasure.
II Is only the inveterate campers
who do not make mistakes In the
matter Of what It is best to take on
trip Of this kind. And the question
Of clothes has q great deal to DO with
ones enjoyment. With the right
clothes there is little need TO think
of them at all, but with the wrong
kind one II constantly hampered.
OF paramount Importance is the
question Of washing. and Its princi-
pal rule is, Take nothing that needs
ironing. White cotton crepe shirt
waists are good for warm days. be-
cause a girl can wash her own, shake
It out and hang 1t up to dry. and 1t
will be as good as new. Aside from
this, take only wooden clothes and no
light colored ones that will be easily
soiled. Mixed wooden skirts and coats
are the best, and flannel shirt waists
with q sailor collar. One cannot ex-
pect to wear very pretty or fancy
clothes and enjoy the free and easy
life Of a camp.
Even the underclothes must follow
the rule Of common sense and useful
ness, the daintlness Of home being left
behind. Union suits and woven cor
set covers are the kind to wear. They
can be washed by ones own hands
very easily. And especially will the
wise girl keep in mind that her usual
delicate and pretty night gowns are
entirely out Of place in a camp. Out
ing flannel night gowns are the only
kind to take, and very glad will the
girl be who remembers this rule when
she finds how cold It is at night in
tent.

SEEING THINGS BY DAY

Seeing things at night" is tame
compared with the way a boy sees
things with his eyes wide open, things
that are not so. at that. From the time
he is four or five years old that power
to see the unseen. to make images OF
Invisible things, is perfectly riotous.
Two facts about him seem to contra
dict each other. One is that his acute
senses make very accurate observa-
tions Of real things: the other. that
his active imagination knows no
bounds.
1t is not hard work, either; It does
Itself. In that case we call It passive
imagination. There is something In
him like wings and they insist on fly
ing. He does not yet care where they
take him. So they fit from point to
point. as they will. without restraint
or direction from reason or will. After
awhile he will be able to hold that
sight on an object as long as he
wishes and his imagination will enter
on a new phase. At first the things
he remembers attract him most and.
for that reason. some have called It
mere memory: yet II Is something
more. But when he begins to take
charge of It, we say II is active imagi-
nation. And perhaps here is where
we can appreciate Binet's remark that
1t is the faculty Of creating groups
OF Images which do not correspond to
any external reality" This day dream
ing is not wrong either. He has to do
1t, whether right or wrong. though he
may do 1t in right or a wrong way.
After he is seven or eight. he sees
things more In groups and connec-
tions; and still later. in his teens. his
reason and purpose take charge of the
aerial thing. Sometimes they succeed
In killing 1t and. in that case, he ~

imagination. for long time. So II IS
the magical power that begins. when
he Is very young. and stays with him
till he dies. or till his heart dies. 1t
Is his Aladdin's lamp whose rays dis
close all he wishes and changes
stones into crystals; ''Fortunatus'
purse that holds the treasures of the
universe"
It is the mother of his mirth. the
spring of his smiles. II is closely and
causally related to a saving sense of
humor. That is why boy In Kansas
City rose from his seat in a crowded
street car when fat woman entered
ana said: Gentlemen. will be one
OF three to get up and give this lady
a seat" Even his unconscious humor
flows from this source. as when the
teacher said: Tommy. why do you
think scold too much?" "'Cause you
git kinder fretful teaching school.
'nOse." was his honest reply.
