She may tell you that she just loves
to rough il, but believe her not. She
doesn't.
Women. ere this. have die for
men; but the most heroic test of Il
woman's devotion is to sleep outdoors
in. a blanket; perform her toilette in
a babbling brook and tell hubby she
likes it. The next in rank as a proof
OF undyins o is riding behind him
on a motorcycle and pretending she
likes it.
But thrilling as it may be to the
masculine heart to be suffered for.
do not put her too strenuously to the
test.
If you are intending to take a wo-
man n camp this summer. observe
two mighty facts:
When she says she likes to rough
1t. she really means that she likes
the clothes that go with it. She may
be willing to endure the camp if you
are willing to supply the summer girl
scenery. But don't ask her to
rough it.
Anyhow. YOU don't have to. They
are getting out camps this summer SO
luxurious that to live in them has not
the slightest suggestion of really
roughing it.
The Camp dc Luxe.
some OF these camps de luxe are
really wonderful. They have gas
heaters. gas cookers. thermos bottles
that keep your provisions hot or cold;
camp mirrors; there are camp cook
stoves with which you could prepare
a meal for a theater party but which
fold up small enough to put in a suit
case.
There are f%ireless cookers with
which o can literally cook as you
run. There are stoves with which you
can cook with the radiator of your
automobile as you travel.
There are camp beds that look like
which fold up into the space of a
couple of ten poles.
am almost afraid to tell you
about h silken boudoir that is low
cred from a tree at night with the
lady in the case dangling just off the
ground like a princess in a cage.
Now I'll whisper to you; this is
really the way women like to rough it.
log her up in some clothes that look
like the forest scene from a play;
surround her with hot and cold water,
house of her own, made of silk. and
she will come home having had a
reasonably good time. and tell all her
friends that a rough life in the open
air is Just what her nature Graves.
But if YOU take her into a regular
camp where you sleep on the ground
in a blanket and get ants In your ears
and sunburn You nose, you Just add
to the expense ccoun of your vaca-
ton the price of a first-class ready
made divorce. You'll need it when
You get back home.

not equipped for electric lights. an

means of a burner. OF course it would
not be practical to use gas for cook

reservation. where fires are not al
lowed. the gas burner is a handy thing
for boiling coffee or ever cooking a
touring-party meal.
Camp cots and chairs are now made
that fold up into very small pieces,
but are serviceable and very comfort
able.
The auto camp cooking outfit is
something that is worth its weight in
gold. but costs but IS. With this small
kitchen the cooking for a party of

The blankets are used as lap robes
when on tour, while the guns and
fishing tackle are taken down and
packed with the rest of the equip
ment.
All late-model cars are equipped
with a touring box. and the supplies
for several days may be carried in
these auto trunks.

camp equipment is the refrigerator
basket "A small light affair which is
very popular.
The running board of the car makes
a serviceable pantry and the tonneau
is an ideal s%toreroonl.
