Dear Mrs. Thompson: A number of
boys have formed a walking club and
we plan to take long walk every
week, usually Saturday or Sunday.
We want to give an outdoor party
and invite our girl friends. What
should We serve? THE BOYS.
That is jolly idea. Serve nothing
that you will need to have help in
getting. Make fine bonfire and when
you have a good bed of Goals put in a
couple of potatoes for each guest,
wrapped in wet clay an inch thick;
cover with Goals, make a good fire
above them and in three-quarters of
an hour-for medium sized potatoes
they will be done. Drag them out with
a big stick, strike the mud shell and
it will crumble away. Open the pota-
to at one end and eat it out of the
shell with a spoon, putting in salt and
pepper as you proceed Make coffee
get rolls and w;enies, roast the latter
over the fire on forked sticks. cut the
bun open and spread the toasted wienie
out inside, making a delicious sand
witch. Some people prefer bacon toast
ed over the fire and made into sand
witches. Both are fine. Doughnuts
would be cake enough and. of course,
pickles and cheese would be a more
complete menu. A lunch of this kind
is much more fun than any elaborate
preparations. If you take a pepper
and Crn, ii makes a delightful ending
to the feast to sit about the fire, pop
corn and tell stories.
Dear Mrs Thompson: I received a
letter from young man not long
ago and my father get it on: of the
box and opened it. He said if | was
corresponding with boys he wanted
to know what it was about Has he
any right to do this? ANGRY.
1t is the privilege of every person
to open his own mail. He has no legal
right 10 touch your letters and he is
very shCrtsighted to pursue such a
course. Probably he has your best
interest at heart Try having a plain, !
respectful talk with him, telling him
just how you feel about it and ask him
to. respect your letters If you can,
hand him your letters to read after
you have read them, to show him you
had nothing to conceal.
Lear MrS. L nOInpSOn: / nave sew
