 (b) "The Camp Fire Girls"
 Drum beats steal softly from oyer the hills. The militant figures of the Camp Fire Girls are approaching. Their ranks are increased by the girls who have been chopping wood and gather ing faggots. At a command from the guardian wood and underbrush are heaped and matches applied. A pillar of smoke ascends and soon after the fire is brightly burning. The girls unstrap their blankets, spread them on the ground and throw themselves in graceful abandon. The twilight shad- ows deepen into the night. A clear voice of one maiden is heard accom- pained by ukeleles. The strain is aught up by all the girls and at the close the sweet voice intones softly the closing cadence of the song and the camp is lulled to slumber.
