Concerning ''Tenting Tonight"

II noticed an inquiry in the Corner anent
the old song 'Tenting on the Old Camp
Ground II was written by New England
Yankee, Walter Kittredge. 1 saw him many
years ago at New Hampshire fair. and
heard him sing this song and others OF
his own composition. He wrote many
songs which were popular during the war,
especially with the soldiers in the field
Kittredge played his own accompaniment
on what looked like an old melodeon, and
which he carried under his arm and held on
his knees while playing. 1 believe that
during large part OF the war he was
at the front with the soldiers visiting from
camp to camp, singing his songs They
have what we would call a heart interest
II is easy to imagine the hold his songs
had upon the hearts and minds of the SOL
diers, away from home and friends

In few minutes the wax will be cool and
the basket is solid. Don't try to shape II

one Is obliged to redlp the basket The
intense summer heat may soften the wax,
but mine have never changed shape. OF
course, IL may be reshaped again while
soft. This is the neatest and best way
ever heard Of doing. Should the basket
become soiled from long standing 1t may be
dipped again in wax, and it will become

some heat that she didn't sit around in an
attitude similar to Robins masterpiece:
that circumstances did not permit her to
set aside a number OF hours each day
for the purpose of meditation and concen.
ehe had allowed her mental apparatus
entirely to atrophy.
To make a sweeping statement that
women do not think is ridiculous To
overhear the porch conversation of the
rocking chair brigade at any summer
resort Is to be inclined to make such a
ridiculous statement.
Women's thoughts exemplified in their
conversation do not show a very devious
or interesting process of reasoning or
philosophizing. Here's a sample OF the
verbal gems dropped on the veranda of
any summer hotel.
"Mary's got nice complexion. won-
