An expert woodsman does not use
twigs or small sticks or little branches
that lie flat on the ground. Except in
times of drought, such material will
be damp on the side upon the ground.
AS a preliminary to starting this fire,
the experienced firemaker looks
around for tWigs or small sticks or
little branches that are completely dry.
He collects a handful of these, selects
the best three or four, and lays the
others by for the moment. With his
pocket knife he then proceeds to
feather" the three or four sticks.
"Feathering" means that he starts
near the bottom of the stick and whit.
ties the stick almost through in a
number Of places, but always leaves
the shavings attached. When the
sticks have thus been "feathered, ="
they are arranged in tripod fashion
so that the shavings curl down toward
the ground. The other dry sticks are
then placed around the tripod. Care
is used to leave openings so that suffl-
cient air can get In between the sticks
near the ground to create an upward
draft. Dry, larger sticks are then
gathered--the number and size de-
pending upon the use to which the
fire Is to be put--and are laid to one
side within convenient reaching dis
tance. -.-
Everything is now ready. Squat
down before your tepee of sticks,
strike your match. and quickly ignite
the shavings. Before you can say
Jack Robinson" you will have a
merry little blaze going. which you
can feed with the larger sticks laid
by and make as large as you may
desire.

great but fleeing vogue for royal
purple or indigo blue-colors that Ill
become most girls of the fiapper type
Whatever you may say against the
soft pastels that have been spread
so lavishly about this Spring and
Summer, you must admit that they
are usually very becoming to the inn
mature charms of the young girl.
Light. soft blues, pinks, fiower-petal
yellow, willow green, light violet
these are colors that most young girls
can wear to better advantage than
their mothers can.
1t is a popular notion to assume
that pure white is always becoming
to the young girl. but it is an as
sumption that doesn't always tally
with the facts. There are some girls
who look their best in light pink,
some who are never more becom-
ingly clad than when in cream or light
yellow. but who look all wrong in
pure white. And to inflict white on

comes to getting her. own hats. One
of the surest ways to impart to your
daughter look Of bad breeding is to
let her wear a hat that is too mature,
too sophisticated, too extreme in
fashion.
AT present the enormously wide
brimmed. hat may tempt her. but the
enormously wide-brimmed hat can be
borne with good effect by very few
very young heads. The extremely
close.fitting skull cap that so per-
fectly becomes the girl of 10 or 90
