that go with pitching your own tent
mean place where living condi-
tions are comfortable and good whole
some meals served, log fires built up
night and morning without help Of
the campers, and nothing to do all
day but enjoy the water. the tennis
courts, the lovely trails through the
woods, with time out for a good rest
after the midday meal. This sort
of camp life where one lives in a
bungalow or cabin, with a main lodge
house for meals and evening entertain
ment, is ideal for the person who
thoroughly enjoys the out-of doors,
and 1t builds up resistance against
Winter colds and city Ills and stacks
up store of pleasant memories that
will last until the next Summer.
CAMPERS can solve the clothes
problem for two weeks vacation
very easily by leaving most of their
city clothes at home and living in a
few comfortable and carefree sports
togs that need little or no attention
during that brief period.
OF course you will want to look
well when you arrive, so wear q
smart dark suit or dark sheer or
print with dark hat and shoes, and
lay them all away carefully the minute
you arrive. Then jump right into
your slacks and shirt and begin to
enjoy yourself It is we'll to take
several sweaters and at least one
pair of dark warm slacks, as the
mountains are always much colder
than you can possibly imagine on a
hot day in town when you are plan
ming your trip. Dark jersey in navy,
brown or wine looks well, and feels
good, and these slacks come both
separately and with matching shirts
OF various types If you prefer slacks
to culottes and expect to wear them
every day, you will probably want two
pairs. The second pair could be
cotton gabardine in dark or medium
blue, or the lighter faded blue denims.
Culottes are good also, especially
in the durable denims and jerseys.
Both slacks and culottes are fine for
hiking and working around boats,
although slacks will protect the legs
better along narrow trails. For tennis,
however, shorts are a happier choice
and in order to avoid the problem of
laundry on your vacation you might
like some finely striped corduroys in
beige or pearl gray that are beautifully
cut and make nice-looking outfits
with sweaters or sweat shirts.
Tops to 60 with any of these togs
are some lightweight sweaters that
we found at ST in lovely assortment
OF colors as we'll as in tWo-tone stripes.
If you have an old sports coat be
sure to take it, for you will need it
every night as soon as the sun drops
down. Don't take q nice white one
that you wear around town, for it
will be terribly out of place and not
warm enough anyway.
Then, as to shoes, leave all the good
ones at home, except those you travel
in. Have some sturdy sport shoes
with fiat tennis heels or what they

OF shoe is one with a rubber sole that
is insulated to keep the rubber from
coming in contact with the foot, one
that has good support under the
arch, such as built-in steel shank,
and is of a texture that sheds water
easily. These shoes come in most
attractive combinations of navy,
brown, green and red with white, and
IN moccasin, ghillie or kiltie models
Be sure to take two bathing suits,
SO that you will always have a dry
one ready to put on. 1t is better to
get two inexpensive suits and have
at least one of them of dressmaker
type, because these usually dry out
very quickly, and look so much like
a play suit that you can get a lot of
wear out of them.
You can save on slips and silk hose,
Tor you won't need either one very
much, although .At most places the
