Is not "camp life" the most alluring
thing? There is so much real pleasure in
getting near to nature, cooking out in the
open and sleeping under n star-lit canopy,
to say nothing of the ease with which one
can dispense with conventionalites and this
eternal dressing for luncheon and dinner,
that it is no wonder camps of all kinds are
becoming so much more popular each year.
Miss Blanche Lane. of 2j27 South Eight
eenth street. is one of merry party of
girls who have been camping along our
picturesque Schuylkll for the last month
Their pretty camp is out near Lafayette, and
although Miss Lane is expected to return
almost any day, the spot seems 50 fasci-
mating that no definite date for breaking
up camp" can possibly be decided upon by
the girls.
OF course, real camp life seems TO be
more the lot of men. since so many of them
must now take the business seriously to
heart. Mr.. Hayes Fernald, brother of
