Bisbee daily review., 1911-11-03

you could iuNurlate TOT tnCSe two weeks in bloomers and blouses. or in wet bathing suits. without having to worry lest somebody accidentally see you. l used to count on it all winter, when l went around strapped into dresses that would have burst if had had another eighth of an inch of circumferencei
 ''Then. last year some of the girls men were going to camp near us. and we'd have 10 entertain them once in a while. Some of us baked, not so much at the entertaining once in a while as at the fact that there were going to be men in the neighborhood. IL meant that we'd have to think about our looks and that spoiled the camp ing!
 Well, we had 10 endure the infiic- ton. The men were there and when they weren't invited they came any way and sang silly songs under our windows
 The girls they knew thought 1t was SO romantic The rest of LIS. however. were simply disgusted and we told the girls so, too. But do you suppose 1t did any good? They just smiled sweetly and went and covered their faces with cold cream and powder be- fore going sailing for fear they'd get sunburnedl
 The rest of us made up our minds that we'd not be-shall I say bullied? into dressing up every evening. even if those who had callers did devote their mornings to ironing and washing to make themselves lovely. We deter mined to go on dressing as we had dressed before and merely to 5hun the men.
 But do you suppose we could? Mercyl Wed go for a stroll down by the bay and there we'd meet one Of OUT girls all in white with a man. We'd dart behind trees until they'd passed and then we'd go back along the path thinking that we'd get into a dark corner of the porch and have a good time talking But the darkest corners were always filled with couples and of course we couldn't sit in the light in cur bioomers! It was simply a case of dress up or go to bed, so we finally chose the former, for it was too hot to sweIter in bed. and the men came awfully earlyl
 This year, when we went out. the girls all promised faithfully that they wouldn't invite a single man. We were going to have a real old fashioned camp and. oh! how I was looking for. ward to it.
 Well, the very first evening who should happen to pass by in an auto mobile but Jack Strone! One of the girls called cut to him-and I just know she had been expecting him We all had to run in and dress in skirts. while he sat in his car and waited for us.
 "He took some of US for a ride. and before he left he asked if he couldn't bring out the whole party of fellows who were doing summer engineering near by! We had to say yes, after he'd given us a ride.
 "Tha. ended all the fun. There were enough young men 10 go around. and then some. and they came morning. noon and night! We had 70 wash and iron long after we ought 10 have been asleep. SO that we might be neat and fresh all day long, for fear some of them would come out to call. It was simply awful,
 q vowed that was never going again But the others seem to like it. and they're going to make a regular | house party of their camping next year."
 'Its too bad that Fred has 10 be away all summer, isn't it?" murmured a listener. cautiously. Now, if he'd"
 Yes" admitted the girl in the gray pongee. dreamily. If Fred had been there"
 A ripple of laughter aroused her and ! she biushed rosily.
