SUMMER GIRLS BRIGHT IDEA
Simple Scheme BY Which One Camper

Her Complexion.

II At the summer camp in the noun
tains last year there Was q young wo-
man whose color and complexion were
the envy and admiration of everyone.
She never appeared until about ten
o'clock, when the other campers.
after a leisurely breakfast and half an
hour or SO spent in waiting for the
mail, had gathered to receive It on
the steps of the lodge where they ate
and danced together. Then this girl
OF the lovely complexion would appear,
radiant, enthusiastic. fresh-dressed for
tennis golf. tramping or boating. K.
The secret Of her freshness lay in
an egg and an orange, Instead of eat.
ing breakfast In the usual way, she
ate an egg soft boiled over spirit
lamp and the juice of an orange. She
ate this meager but sustaining break
fast in her room and SO was not
tempted by the hot breads and cakes,
mullins and meat dishes which were
served in the camp dining room. Hence
her lovely complexion. Moreover. she
saved much time. She could eat her
breakfast slowly in ten minutes, and
she could eat it without dressing. Then
she had an hour or SO undisturbed In
which she could write letters, mend,
sew or do anything else which needed
daily attention. BY ten, freshly
dressed for the days sport. she would
make an appearance.
The other girls. who had perhaps
overeaten at breakfast, to their COM
plexions' harm, had wasted an hour or
SO idly waiting about for the mail.
Their mending and letter writing were

USE FOR WORN SILK HOSIERY
Clever Woman Devised Scheme to
Convert N aterlai Into inexpensive
Dainty Porch Pillows.

In spite Of the fact that silk stock
ings can be bought for fifty cents
pair, it takes courage to throw them
away when they have passed the high
shoe stage and refused to be darned
any longer. One woman has solved
her problem by selecting the white
and brown ones, cutting them into
strips as you would for rag carpet,
and sending them to a weaver.
The result Is q number OF porch Pill
lows. These have background OF
white with design Of brown running
through It. The weaving costs her
afty cents, and she has cover which
will stand any amount Of washing and
yet hold its color.
The strips Of stockings are sewed
loosely together, but they must be
woven soon after they are cut as they
are apt to ravel. When once made,
however, they are solid and will stand
any amount OF wear. and tear. They
are particularly suited to q porch a.
