nEAR PLAIN JANE: The other
day l wrote and told you about
the feminine foibles that come to light
at camp. From the way the men
made fun Of us up here it seems as
though we had all been cut out by
exactly the same pattern-plenty of
yearning for cretonne, a unanimous
aversion to putting worms on the
f1sh hook and tendency to read love
stories out loud. We'll. last night all
the femininity in these whereabouts
got together and decided there had
been a bit of duplicating when the
opposite sex was turned out. We have
discovered an amazing likeness among
all the men we have ever known.
-, What started things yesterday was
the freezing of the Ice cream. II
seems there's an old rule up here that
the men make the ice cream. Well,
things started out fine. There was a
regular campaign about it. Maple
syrup instead Of sugar for sweetening.
And then
DLAIN JANE, why is 1t men can't
i ever do anything for themselves?
The Ice cream freezer was just out
side the middle camp, and, honestly.
from the time they first put the eggs
in the mixture until the stuff got so
hard II was ready to set away, all the
women within radius Of three camps
were running madly about waiting on
those four men. They. the men. got
into their bathing suits to put over
this big stunt of theirs, and absolutely
all they did was to stand there, let
the breezes blow through them and
watch the electric freezer freeze the ice
cream. Yes, they had an electric
freezer. Imagine the hardship!
Can you picture 1t. Plain Jane? We
left them all alone in this middle
camp. This was upon orders from
