 a mother is pondering earnestly over
 where she shall take her pretty young
 daughter-to see and be seen. With a
 cIeyerness born of experience, she saved all the printed gossip of the summer resorts of the last season,
 therefore she knows that the girls Of 1 this place had to dance with each other because of the dearth of men or the young women of another place all xied each other for the attention or the one solitary man who put in an
 appearance late in the season, and of 1 still another famous outing place 1 which boasted of twice as many men Ias women. but the girls and their mammas who hocked there found that they were all married-tf1e wives were l to swoop down upon the place later on.
 1 If nine girls out Of ten could have their way about it, no one should ac- icuse them of going husband hunting under the pretense of leaving home for a summer outing. They would go in for a season. Of camp life with all | it's free Iifegiving joys, letting the
 girls, who daMdle around hotel Epiazzas catch the Weakfish who r-.e ass eagerly intent upon heiress catching. V It's only within few years that girls have gone in for camp life dur ling their vacations. There are a doz-. Fen good reasons to champion it. In the first place, there's no fne expen- fsive new wardrobe to buy The win-s fter's half-wern- out blue serge skirt,
 with a few dark shirt waists, and the winter thick-soied boots, a sweater and wool tam o'shanter cap, with few needfu1 accessories, constitute the wardrobe outfit A crowd of happy.

 The girl who could only take cfloc- olate, toast and an egg the first morn ing after her arrival could eat a whole chicken and all the good things that go with 1t after she has led the ex- hIlarating life week. In camp where
 money is not considered cook is talk en along, but where young girls must count their pennies each girl takes her turn at getting the meals, show ing how expert she is in the culinary art, and she is pleased to do it Of course there isn't such a variety of good things but, then, camp eating does not extend to 571unching sweet cakes and berry pies. No one gru1rl bIes about making whole breakfast on honiny. with brook trout as an add ed luxury and for luncheon a baked potato cooked to turn in hot ashes
 and an egg and for dinner crackers.
 cheese and an apple and all the clear. cold sparkling water one can drink.
 There are marehing trips to some zoe farmhouse every day or SO which means all the milk they can drin k- gratis usually. and as many fine Evegetables for a dollar or so as they Iean carry back with them. They are fine. healthy, haspy g1rls when they break camp and come honnel No won
