Another popular game is one that
originated at Camp Joie de Vie
Birds have feathers" Just what es-
pecial species was favorite one can't
say. Perhaps, the red bird, the wren,
the nightingale; ah yes! And, per-
haps, that favorite of the Goddess Min
erva-the emblem of wisdom-the OWL
had its admirers or followers, for at
Camp Joie de Vie they certainly can
put you wise about this game.
Then that good old contest, going

that chased dull care away, while the
happy contestants chased each other
around the chairs.
Fishing good? ASK Miss Matte Sue
Taylor Patience has it's own reward!

We hear that after three days fishing,
when Miss Taylor, in despair, eXclaim>

bite, he CALAMITY remarked. "Oh, now,
come, we're not disappointed, you
know-We aren't looking for fish; We
are looking for shaded" Whereupon
the fish, in spite, gave them nibble,
the nibble became a bite" and next
thing they knew, Miss Taylor had
hooked her game-an cell Over which
size became so excited she promptly
lost her balance, and in she went

Mother came and caught her.
And whipped her little daughter.
