''Under the auspices of the Episcopal

tally, morally and physically. This So
cicty is designed especially for the
benefit OF working girls, but all girls
Of good character are eligible and many
members are from the first families In

The one requisite is that the members
are of good character.
'On admission girls are given a
badge al the service admitting them.
This service lis quite a solemn one, TAX
ing place before the altar in some
church. So long as they are true to
their VOWS they retain the badge, but
shoNld they do wrong this badge Is
taken from them. Naturally they look
upon it as badge of honor and are
proud of lis possession. j have never
Eearu or case Nncre III WAS HeceSsdiS

Summer Camp Feature.
''The crowning feature of the year S
work is the summer camp, now In oper-
alton in the Spanish Fork canyon. near
Thistle. A delightful spot was chosen
three wears ago and each year the camp
las been enlarged and comforts and
conveniences added, until now we have
eight large tents on the ground. with
well-cquipped culinary department, din
ing room under canopy and the like.
The tents vary in size, some holding
as high as ten cots at times. We can
therefore entertain large number al
one time, but prefer to limit the num-
Der 10 twenty-four. We have house

girls take care of the table and their
own tents

full hooks abound all up and down the
stream, where you will find groups of
girls scattered, all seeming thoroughly
to enjoy the freedom from restraint and
the outdoor life Some girls come to
us looking so wan and pale but return

and vieor, ready 10 meet the strenuous
and ofttimes difficult duties awaiting
them.
Camp Life Delightful.
"Tnerc are horses in the neighbor-
hood which the girls can hire for horse
back riding. Frequently in tie even
ings they take straw rides, which is
great fun. A special feature of the
camp life is the camp fire in the even
ings, when all assemble in a circle
around it, singing songs, telling stories
and giving rccitations, closing with
short prayer service.
''Surely no outing could be more con.
duciNc TO happiness, rest and health
than this Christian camp, under the
best possible moral influences. where a
girl is as safe as in her own home
Girls leaving camp are always carefully
chaperoncd.
''While the camp is designed pri-
Inarily for the members Of the Girls
Friendly society, any girl Of good char
acter Is welcome and there is no par
tiality shown, the nonmembers sharing
in every way the pleasures and COM

teachers. clerks and stenograpbcrs or
others will take advantage Of this op.
portunity to enjoy delightful outing.
