ADVICE FOR THE SUMNER CAMPERS.

of pocket money is permitted at Other
times. Always there is good food, with
ice cream and fresh fruit and other
treats frequently served, even when it
is necessary for the campers to turn
to to help prepare them. So. If you
have chosen your child'S camp wisely,
you can rest assured that the child is
well supplied with nourishing and at
tractive food.
OF course, the ideal thing would be
for you not to send any goodies from
home. But there are few mothers who
can so harden their hearts as to follow
this plan.
The. next best thing to do is to find
out, from the camp authorities. just
what goodies will be most acceptable.
If the child has a birthday. big birth
day cake, big enough to divide among
all the campers if the camp is small
might be sent. The camp master
should be notified of this cake before
hand. and then he can include that days
regular rationS.
One mother last summer sent her
son thirty big cakes of milk choco-
late. She knew that the boys were
allowed this delicacy on their long
hikes. and so she sent one for each boy.
But she forgot to tell the son to divide
them. and, although he was usually a
in his locker and gorged most greedily
on them all by himself. A suggestion
from his mother. with permission from
the camp master, would have made the
small boy the happy host oNa choco-
late party on one of the hikes.
When YOU visit the child's camp be
sure that you are willing to obey camp
laws. At some camps there are certain
hours for visitors, before and after
which nobody is received One hurried
father last year dropped in at his sons
camp at 9 at night to be informed by
the master that the son had gone to
bed and would not be allowed to re-
ceive visitors until 10 the next morn
ing, after morning camp duties were
completed. The father was angry, but
the camp master, whose camp was
large, did not break his rule. 1t would
have meant Generalization of all rules,
, as the father himself later admitted.
So IL you purpose visiting the camp
where your son or daughter is. send
word ahead of time and find out when
you will be welcome. And abide by the
visiting hours of the camp. Quite likely
you will be asked to look over the camp
and to be a guest at dinner and SO you
will see how camp life actually works
Most of the camps make specif1ca-
lions about the sort of clothes that
are required. By all means follow
these as exactly as possible. There
is no reason in the world why your
child camper should have better clothes
than the others, and the clothes speci-
fed have been chosen with special re-
gard to the service they must give.

AWAY FROM MRS. FEATHERLEGS.
he remembered that in a certain big
nest in a certain tall tree in the Green
Forest he had three hungry babies and
that before he ate they should be fed
He looked down at the little chicken,
clutched in the claws of one loot IL
was a very little chicken for three such
hungry youngsters as the three young
Redtails. In fact, it was SO little that
his claws closed almost around it with
out tearing it's tender flesh at all. He
hadn't killed the chicken. More than
this he hadn't seriously hurt it. 1t was
suffering. to be sure. but its suffering
was almost wholly from fright. 1t GER
tainly was frightened chicken. Yes.
sir. it certainly was frightened
chicken. L don't wonder. do you? How
do you suppose it felt as it was carried
higher and higher up in the blue, blue
sky, until down below all the things
which always had looked so big be-
came small and smaller? Danny
Meadow Mouse knows. He was carried
that way once by Hooty the Owl, and
since then Danny has been quite con-
tent with the ground. He no longer
, envies the birds.
On his way to his home in the Green
Forest Redtail flew over the home of
Farmer Browns Boy. 1t was just after
Farmer Browns Boy had gone into the
barn to milk the cows. Redtail, look
ing down with those wonderful eyes of

family of chickens He saw that those
were bigger chickens than the one he
already had, yet not so big but that he
could hold one with one foot. He had
one handful already, so to speak, but
why not fill the other?
Now, if Redtail hadn't yielded to
temptation in the first place he prob
ably wouldn't have the second time.
But it had been easy catching that
poor little chicken he was carrying
home that he thought it would be just
as easy to catch another.
There is no danger" thought he.
This is a very small chicken for such
a hungry family as / have got waiting
for me. Besides, l am half starved my
self. l may as well have two as one"
He dropped nearer and nearer to the
danger. There was none that he could

wings. shot down with the claws of the
empty foot spread to seize one of the
chickens.
But Redtail didn't know Mrs Feather
legs If he had known her then as he
does now he would have thought twice
before trying to catch one of her chick
ems. Instead of acting afraid, as hens
usually do when RedtaiI appears, Mrs
Featherlegs threw herself at Redtail
just as he was about to seize a chicken,
and 1t seemed as if Mrs. Featherlegs
was all pecking bill and scratching
claws and beating wings. 1t was so I'M

very much confused. Those wings flap

When the National Guard camps be-
gan to form, a few weeks ago, sug-
gestions to relatives of the guardsmen
were issued through the newspapers.
These suggestions asked relatives not
to make the guardsnien ridiculous. in eff
feet. Specifically. they suggested that
visits to camp to see guardsmen in uni
form were not welcome, that goodies
from home were taboo. and that camp
rules ought to be recognized by the
guardsmen's relatives as well as by the
guardsmen.
The same sort of suggestions to par
entS of children at summer camps-not
of the military order, but for recreation
and health-would be decidedly peril
tent at this time of year. Most of the
camps opened the list of July. and just
about now small sons and daughters
are feeling just a little lonesome for
home. no matter how much they enjoy
camp and wish to stay there. Fond
parents, too. are missing the children
most decidedly.
The result is often a sort of per-
Torrance that plays havoc with camp
discipline, and that brings. in the long
run. unhappiness to the child at camp.
AS the camp masters are paid for their
work in caring for the children and
managing the camp, they cannot speak
with the same freedom from restraint
that the officer feels. They must pro-
pitiate silly mothers, a rule. if their
next summers work Is to continue.
To be sure. the truly tactful camp
manager usually lays down hard and
fast rules. and enforces them. if posi-
BILE, without hurting anybody's feel
ings, but if necessary with regard to
nothing but the good of the camp and
the campers. He loses one or two
campers in the course of his whole ex-
perience in this way. but in the mean
time he keeps his camp up to par
probably above it.
Now, it is the duty of each fond
parent to help the camp master. If
the camp is not satisfactory. the parent
has the privilege of Withdrawing Susie
or Johnny from it, of course. But most
parents realize that the men and wom-
en- who have worked years perfect1n &
and carrying on young peoples camps
understand the best methods and
means.
Perhaps the gravest trouble in camps
concern things to eat from home. DIT
ferent methods for giving the children
treats are used at different camps. AT
one successful boys camp each camper
is allowed 25 cents on Saturday, and
with this he is allowed to buy just
what he pleases. Peanuts or ice cream
can be INDUCED in to the extent of
a quarters worth. At other camps the
expenditure of limited and set amount

As touch which gives novelty, the
designers place above the bertha and
it's ornamental shoulder band a cap of
thin lace over the top of each shoulder,
which squares the decolletage and
makes it more artistic.
The sleeves in this gown are of lace,
elbow length. and from present indica-

that was once an accessory of the deep

it rested and displayed its richness.
So far sleeves of all kinds merely
outline the arm. When they are long
they continue to be bell-shaped, but
fastened with row of buttons near
the arm; and when they are short they
are nothing but wisps of tulle or lace:
but they are placed In conventional

die and two shoulder straps. has given
