With the approach of vacation sea-
son and the popularity of camping par
ties the appended advice and sugges-
lions are OF timely value:
The primary mistake of the novice
at camping is that he takes too much.
cooking outfit for two should consist
Of frying pan with detachable han
die. coffeepot, enameled ware kettle.
large spoon. hunting knife and fork
For table service carry three enameled
ware plates or dishes about an inch and
n half deep, two large cups of the same
material, two knives, two forks and
two spoons. The plates are deep enough
to hold soup or chowder.
The outfit should always include
small City bag. containing thread, nee
dies. pins. court plaster, buttons. stout
Irvine and n small pair Of scissors.
In camp n doctor is seldom available,
80 take a medicine chest along.
Your Camping Friends.
The personnel of a camping party
for the mountains is a most important
consideration. They should all be thor
oughly well acquainted and absolutely
congenial In spirit A camp far In the
woods is no place to become acquaint-
ed with any one. If he develop un-
pleasant traits you can't get away from
him.
No matter how good a friend a per-
son may be of yours, don't take him in
camp with you If he is kicker" A
man who will shirk or grumble at any
duty he is assigned to about q camp
will Set an entire party by the ears al
most before the tent Is up.
Don't have with you the fellow who
is always on the watch for an oppor-
tunity to get the best Of everything,
from the brownest trout at breakfast
to the most advantageous corner at
bedtime Then there is the man who
is always in unseemly haste to get at
the creek or lake first with his rod

Here's a tip TO the wise. the culinary
wise-buid a small fire for cooking.
With large fire the heat becomes I'M
bearable when you get near enough to
manage the pans and kettles. Food
burns before IL is properly cooked. The
surface of the frying pan heats un-
evenly. But with your little fire. with
it's clear flame. you can do what you
will. The pancakes brown 10 nicely.
The bacon sizzles merrily with no dam
ger that the flame will leap into the
pan.
To Tow Drowning Person.
To tow drowning person TO safety
the easiest method is to hold the back
of the head well down and swim on
the back with leg kick, keeping the
subject in n horizontal position.
Should he begin to twist and turn
change to IA position so that you hold
him around his chest with his head on
your chest and you still continue TO
swim on your back. This is the hard
est but safest method. as Ii is impos-
sible for the subject to clutch the res
cuer. n contingency that by every
means must be prevented, as fright
ened person is never to be trihed with.
Sometimes he will sink not only the
nails. but the fingers. into the flesh.
If the subject is amenable to reason
one may, when tired Of this position,
turn on the side and try the side
stroke, placing the upper arm under
the subjects armpit. still keeping him
on his back
An easy way TO save an educated
swimmer who has become exhausted
is to have the latter lie on his back.
With stiff elbows he simply keeps his
open hands on the rescuer's shout
ders as the rescuer pushes him toward
shore. 1t should not be tried If the
subject himself has not confidence in
the water.
Safety First For Hunters.
Always keep the gun pointed from
yourself and other persons.
In getting over logs and fences al
ways see that the gun is first put over
and In a solid position where II will
not fall. Then go to another place to
climb over.
Do not shoot into moving bushes or
In the direction of noise without be-
ing sure the desired game Is there and
seeing 1t for a certainty.
If you are going for fun only. it is all
right to take inexperienced friends. a
well filled lunch basket. literature and
target and go to the nearest grove.
II you are going for game go alone or
with experienced hunters only carry
what is essential; hunt with the back
TO the sun.

The gown was of ivory white serpentine
crepe and chiffon, with bands of white
stuffed embroidery for trimming. The
crepe was used for the slightly surpliced
portion of the corsage and for the draped
and trained skirt. The drapery was of
the simplest order, merely sweeping in
long lines from the left side OF the front
downward to the right where it melted
gradually into the train. The rest of the
skirt was quite plain.

Making Dish Mops.

Oiled floors and busting mops are now
considered a necessary part of every
household equipment. OF course. you
want one if YOU haven't one. and If You
do not want to pay the price. why not
make your own mops' Old stockings
make the best mops. as they do not
make lint.
Begin by taking strip of strong cloth
and cut it about two and one-half to
three inches wide and about ten inches
long Cut the old stockings in strips and
place the strips close beside each other in
a row, Place the cloth across the middle
of the stocking strips ard stitch along
each edge of the cloth on the machine.
When this is folded together there will
be a double row of stocking strips. OF
course the strips must he cut OF equal
length. You can now insert the mop for
a day or So in a good furniture polish. IN
til it has taken up all the oil possible:
squeeze dry and insert in your mop han

mop as many on the market. 1t goes
without saying that you must frequently
remove the mop and renew the oil.

treated with good quality of oil In the

When Mrs Dalton passed on Helen
was left with disquieting thoughts
Hoping to satisfy herself that she
could not have done better, she went
straight to McCarthys.
A Shock
She asked for the same thing-an
AFTERNOON gown in dull blue. To her
dlsmay, the first gown the girl brought
out she liked infinitely better than the
one she had bought. 1t required very
little alteration, and there was no
solled collar to be taken Off 1t was
RIGHT just as it was. and it had been
reduced from eighty-five to thirty two,
only seven dollars difference; she
would gladly have paid ten.
Feeling somewhat guilty for having
take the girls time to look at a gown
she had no intention of buying, Helen
thanked her and hurried away
Oh, why HADN'T she gone to McCar-
thy's first? The more she thought of
the gown she had bought the less she
felt she would like it. And the lace
after all, 1t would look put on"
Helen knew that the unity of a
gown was subtle thing, easily marreo
by any changes or additions
Before she reached home she was
fully convinced that the lace would
always look as though it did not "be-

no longer appealed to her, for there
was no economy in getting a thing she
would never like.
Promptly she conceived strong,
deep-rooted aversion to Rollins. She
would never buy another thing there!
The unreasoning injustice of this was
not apparent to Helen, for Helen was
essentially feminine. And it is
purely feminine privilege to form such
aversions without reason or cause.
