immediately after luncheon Mrs. Hoop
er ana Mrs. ChaDin set out for the mar
ket TO finish baying the supplies for ths
camping tRip.
ave determined to convert Henry to
The fdza OF dehydAated vegetables" said
Mrs. Hooper, because next year I in
tend 20 dry as many vegetables as / put
,up BIZ cold pack II he is satisfied that
they are Just as good. So l shall pro
vide him with a supply Of dehydated
vegetables so that be can experiment with
them hi salf@
'trhat will be a fine idea" said Mrs
Chaplin. my family are already used to
them. because, you see, I buy nearly all
Of my preserved vegetables and fruit for
the winter. I don't bother putting much

wastes sugar and fruit by being careless
about so many little things that go to
making home canning a success. l think
TIE dehydrated vegetables are quite as
GOOD % the others and they are so easy
to prepare"
"Nox here are these carrots and on
ions" said Mrs. Hooper, looking at the
pacsages the clerk had handed her. They
are ready for soup or a stew, with no
labor. and there is enough to serve Henry
ana the four children in one l5-cent
package
, eTbesa vegetables take up six or seven
finas their weight Of water, take foEty
minutes to cook and are sweet and fresh
in favor when they are served SAID
Mrs. Chaplin, and as they are chopped
rather fne. they could be creamed, as

Hooper felt inclined to make q fancy
dish for the camp dinner.
arm afraid be won't" laughed Mrs
Hooper. but shall take six packages
each CT the carrots, spinach and mixed
soup vegetables to begin with.
and on my list shall put six packages
o< onfous- string beans and cranberries,
added Mrs. Chaplin. The cranberries
make delicious sauce and Anne knows
how to prepare them"
.svyith a few well packed jars Of corn
and tomatoes from my preserve closet,
concluded Mrs. Hooper "our family VIII
have all the vegetables they need Toi
their two weeks trip
eve must have a dozen and han
cans Of unsweetened condensed milk,
several packages Of cereal. and bag Of
sugar" said Mrs. Hooper as they stopped
at the grocery counter. Also some salt,
pepper and cinnamon
what are they going to do about
braadf" asked Mrs. Chaplin DO you
suppose they can buy 1t at the nearest
town"
Il suppose that would be possible" re-
Piled Mrs. Hooper. land Billy could drive
IL with the ear very easily. But we have
little old Dutch oven in the attic. that
we used years ago, on trip, and Henry
knows how 70 bake bread perfectly we'll
] think we had better include a sman
bag Of G0ur and several yeast cakes so
that tnev won't have TO send into town
for bread every day.
Besides we VIII need rice and pancske
flour and sirup.- said Mrs. Chaplin.
-They win be so famished all the time
that only bulky things to eat viii sat
isfy them
Along that line" added Mrs Hooper,
I have here on my list macaroni, spa
Ghetti and egg noodles. Henry knows
how TO make an egg noodle dish with
leftover Gam, and combined with vege-
tables they make a wonderful meal that
Is particularly filing"
Also, we must have pruues and lem
ems, and coffee and tea" Mrs. Chaplin
went on, and some canned soups"
Henry warned me about buying too
many heavy things" said Mrs. Hooper.
because they won't have a great deal
OF packing space in that can after i've
people are fitted in"
But they must have some canned
SOUP" insisted Mrs. Chaplin. "and with
some peanut butter and a little Of the
Jam you are going To contribute it seems
to ME that ought TO about finish their
supplies"
at viii be quite all they can carry"
insisted Mrs. Hooper, and they can
get whatever extra they neal by sending
for it to town. They viii be able to get
eggs and a few other things from that
source, I am sune-"
These things must all be sent home
early IN the morning" said Mrs. Hooper
to the clerk to whom they had given
their order. THAT viii give rs time to
eheck them all up and If there IS any
thing missing we can send for it be-
fore the rush of packing begins on Sat
urday."
You certainly are the most fonehanded
woman, Mrs Hooper" said Mrs. Chaplin
laughing. Il don't suppose you have
ever IN your life been caught in 4 jam
as Mrs. Chaplin says"
''Oh. indeed. I have" acknowledged
Mrs. Hooper frankly. I've learned by
experience, though. how much easier II
makes ones life just to prevent as many
last-ninute catastrophes as possible by
allowing 4 leeway for the things that
usually do happen, in spite Of the incest
planning"
