to find a real horcstto- goodness fire
built in one corner of the big yard

primitive fashion. An iron crate was
placed over the fire on which to roa t
the good things to eat. The merry
party gathered quickly and without
undue ceremony around the flames to
roast sweet corn. potatoes and bacon
by means of long sticks.
The full moon gave a desirably
weird effect to the shadowy scene:
and if the refreshments didn't taste

never eat anything that does. After
everyone had enjoyed the fun outdoors
to the full, the happy crowd repaired
