Camping Togs That Have Smartness As Well As
lnformality : Khaki Bloomer Suits Ideal for the
8 Woods Bright Colors Agreeable In Pictur-
esque Camping Raiment- Bathing Suits.

pumice should not be omitted for the
hands and nails suffer most, particu-
larly if cooking and cleaning are done
in camp. Usually a guide, procured
at the start, does most of this work,
but it will be well to take good care
of the hands during the camping out
season, and to let the complexion take
care of itself. The woman who fears
sun and wind had much better re-
main at home where her outings can
be taken under the shelter of veil and
parasol.
Another thing that may be neg
lected with profit, is the coiffure. The
two weeks in camp will be an excel
lent time to give the hair a splendid
airing and rest from hairpins, curling
irons and artificial tresses. Let the
hair have plenty of sun and air each
day and brush it thoroughly at night
before retiring. Do 1t up very simply
top of the head and keep back flying
ends under a black ribbon. tied in a
smart bow over the forehead.
Dressed in this way the hair is becom-
ing to the average woman and such a
coiffure can be put up in three min
utes or less. Young women, with
naturally beautiful hair are wont to
affect very girlish coiffures with in
formal camping garb. Sometimes
the locks are braided in two long
braids which are worn forward over
the shoulders, while narrow band
of ribbon is tied around the head,
Indian maid fashion, the soft locks
over temple and forehead being
pulled down under the ribbon band.
Indian Moccasins for Camp.
Another Indian maid wearable that
has been adopted by modern maids
for camp life, is the soft buckskin
moccasin. These moccasins are ideal
for wear around the camp during
early morning and evening hours.
They protect the feet from twigs,
stones or bits Of glass, and also from
dampness. They should never be
worn, however, away from camp. For
the days hike. fishing or other pur-
suit, stout-soled tan leather boots
should be donned; and the broader
of soul and lower of heel such boots
are. the better for comfort. If any
tramping through long grass is to be
done, or any climbing about on
mountain lodges, leather puttees
should be strapped over the trampina
boots to prevent possible injury from
snake bite.
Some women wear leather sandals
such as are worn by little children
around camp in the morning. These
sandals may be obtained in grown-up
sizes and they are supremely COM
Portable affairs. High heeled slip
pers should be left at home. At best
they will cut into the pine-needled
carpet or turf. and they may cause a
nasty fall and very possibly sprained
ankle on slippery rocks.
Worsted Sleeping Togs for Out-of-
Door Snoozing.
Some women take pajamas to camp
for cool nights. Others substitute
nightgowns of outing flannel for the
thin lingerie affair worn at home
but the woman who cannot bear tc
give up her dainty mull and lace
robes du mutt, may wear them in
camp If she purchases one of the
knitted shetland wool sleeping gar
ments which may be slipped on over
the thin nightdress. These sleeping
garments are fascinatingly pretty
afairsa They are knitted from fine
shetland wool. in pale blue or pink
! and are in simple kimono style. fall
