Any camping club will supply you with lists of good camp- ing. sites and supply vou with valua- ble information on necessary equip- ment. Motor Camyping for Women. Realizing that it is an excellent way of deriving full benefit of a change o scenery and fresh air, especial short vacation, women in constantly increasing numbers a tor camping. A tent and a basket of camp equipment can be hired for a vacation. A n be stowed aw. securely in age car. Tents can be secured which can be fitted up by being attached to the car itself Collapsible camp equipment includes buckets that roll up into small | two short | a bed hung on s that keep it clear of the ground, and folding camp chairs. A board is placed over the baggage rack behind the car and this forms a table. It is sometimes difficult when camp- ng out to secure a place to pitch the tent. It may not be easy to get in touch with owners of land in the places which it is_intended to visit. When on t's is intend- ed in one I S best to Stop at a hotel. A good plan when stopping nights at_hotels is to take a lunch basket and have it filled each morning before starting out again. If your route lies through a large town, a large map of the district, as well as maps of the surrounding country, will be found very useful. Frequently delays are caused in finding way through a town. Tours are most enjoyable when a definite place is planned for. Pur- poseles 1dering, although it pos- sesses some attractions, scon proves tiresome. When dren, pin chil- to- small clothes traveling with each child’s gether with a large.safety pin a few | days before you to make the trip. Then in the rush of getting started each one can find his or her own clothes without asking mother where this or that garment is to be found. For instance, take your little boy's suit which you wish him to wear, his underwear, stockings, shoes, caps and coat and pin all together. When the time comes for him to dress he can do so with very little of moth- er's help. Auto Lunch Basket. For sandwiches—Cream cheese and herring; cooked chopped egg with mayonnaise dressing; broiled bacon on lettuce leaf; deviled ham and sifted yolks of eggs: pickled tongue sliced thin; chopped olives and chicken; creamed butter, grated cheese and anchovy essence paste, or chooped anchovies; a mixture of chopped chicken and ham _highly ned; cream cheese, chopped and pimentos dines picked olives chopped fine, cooked olks of eeggs sifted and highly sea- ed beef choped, and All these are good sandwich fllings. Other good foods for the basket— Cold boiled lamb chops, each care- fully wrapped In paper; cold legs of roasted chickens, cold pickled tongue | sliced_thin, and filled with chicken and salad, new apple turnovers, mon buns and hot coffee and cocoa in thermos bottles, or iced tea, iced coffee or lemonade. lls hollowed out celery yeast ro Picni Tt will not be a wa make a list of things needed before for a picnic the article: nec- for the day's outing. With- out such a list it is almost sure to result that something really neces- sary will be forgotten. The best taking to mo- | cinna- | ste of time to | Is Sought. way to make the list is to group to- (mether associated’ articles. For in- | stance, a can of fruit, can opener; Inext, meat, salt, pepper and mus- tard; tea, coffee or sugar and milk; salad and salad dressing. If this method is followed, there will be less chance of necessities being forgot- ten. When lighting a_picnic fire in a srong breeze, stand with your back o the breeze and light the side near- est to you. The breeze or wind will |then drive the flames into the kindling |wood and there will soon be a blaze. 'If you stood on the other side the flames would be blown outside and would not reach the kindling wood. Sticks placed haphazard on a fire will not burn as easily as when they e laid evenly on. Paper used for the foundation of a fire should be bunched loosely between the hands. The sticks must then be placed evenly on end with the tops meeting in the center and forming a cone- shaped pile. Dried leaves can be used as a substitute for paper. If bricks cannot be obtained for inclosing a fire, a shallow hole should be made in the ground and in this the fire can be built. See that the picnic basket is well tocked with a variety of food and plenty of it. Appetites will be keen and a few surprise packages should be included for the benefit of the children. One package could con- tain jelly which has been left solid, just as it was taken from the box and cut into cub Dates, from which the stones have been removed and replaced with nuts, are also well liked, and you can think of other surprises. . Nature's Guide Posts. Upon going Into an unfamiliar part of the country when on a hike it is an excellent plan to turn round occa- sionally to observe the scenery and characteristic signs of nature. Then when_the time comes for you to re- turn home that way the scenery and other signs will not be entirely un- familiar and a good deal of confu- sion will be avoided. Take a good look at everything in general and some things in particular. If you get lost some distance away from houses and roads in spite of all precautions, there are certain things you must remember. First, decide on the direction in which you think you ought to go, then proceed as far as possible to walk directly toward that point. Without a guide this is not at all an easy matter, especially in a rather wooded coun- try, but Nature has given certain signs by means of which it Is easy to find out the points of the com- pass wherever you may be. In the first place, examine the bark of trees and it will be found that the bark is harder, lighter and drier on the sopith side than on the north side. Usually there will be moss and lichen growing on the north side, which is the shady part. Pine trees have a curious way of bending the tips of their branches toward the south. If you come across the stump of a tree that has been chopped down, look at the rings of growth. These are thicker on the south side of the stump than they are on the north side. If there are no trees to give special indications, examine hedge banks or any rocks or stones. On the south side there will be little or no moss. The parts exposed to the north will have a luxuriant growth of mosses and probably ferns also. Of course, when facing the North, you 1l know that the West is at your :n_(ril and the East at your right hand side. To Avold Insect Stings. Many people dread to go on the river or out in the country because they suffer so severely from the at- tacks of stinging Insects. Fortunately there are certain substances which mosquitoes and gnats dislike extreme- ly, and when these are used there is generally little risk of being bitten. Ammonia will keep away most in- sects, but this is very volatile and has to be frequently renewed. A little oil of lavender has a more lasting ef- fect, and the fragrance, although dis- liked by insects, is agreeable to hu- man beings. A few drops may be attered on one's clothes and 6n the cushions in a boat, or on the rug which is spread on the ground when a picnic is in progress. Violet powder to which has been added just a trace of men- thol may be used as a dusting pow- and stockings. The protective action of this powder will last for hours and COLOR CUT-OUT ALADDIN'S LAMP, When the Grand Vizier saw how pleased the Sultan was with Aladdin’s gift he was worried, for he had hoped that his own son might marry the Princess. “Truly it is a wonderful gift,” he said, “but we know nothing of the fellow who has sent it. He may be only some beg rogue 0 has stolen the jewel ‘That is true " agreed the Sultan. Then turning to Aladdin’s mother, he said. “I am much sed with ‘the gift your son has sent. Go back and tell him I am inclined to give him the Princess for his wife, but first he must send me forty basins of gold filled with jewels like these. If he can do this he shall have the Princess.” (Color the Sulta robe purple trimmed with gold embroidery. Make his headdress and fan also gold.) (Copyright, 1925.) Kidney Omelet. Skin three or four small lamb's or sheep's kidneys, cut them in very small pleces, and fry over a quick fire in a frying pan with one heaping tablespoontul of butter, in which one tablespoontul of finely chopped onfon has been blended. Season with salt and peprer and add two tablespoon- fuls of brown sauce. Cook for eight minutes and keep hot. Break six eggs into a dish, season with pepper and salt, and beat well together.” Melt one tablespoonful of butter in an omelet pan. When hot, pour in the eggs, with one hand stir the contents, and shake the pan with the other hand over the fire until the eggs commence to set, then pat the kidneys in the center and shape into a cushion form. Allow to brown in the oven and turn it out onto a hot dish and serve at once. The process of making an ome- let is much easier than it sounds. All it _requires is a little practice, after which the process becomes quite easy. keep away even 'the most viclous in- sects. If you have received a sting in spite of all precautions, it is well to remem- ber the value of fresh tobacco ashes. If this is slightly warm, so much the better. It should be gently rubbed on the spot after it has been moistened with a little water. The alkali in the ash neutralizes-the acid of the poison inserted by the insect and an imme- diate feeling of relief 1s usually expe- rienced. Flies may be driven from a room in the following way: . Allow some pieces of brown paper to soak in a solution of saltpeter and let them dry. Tear the paper up into small scraps and then put them on a dish. With a match start the paper smoldering and scat- ter on it some dried lavender flowers. Most people find the fragrance of the burning lavender very agreeable, but der for one's arms and inside sleeves|it js much disliked by files. The in- sects quickly leave and will not soon return.

Zoloaga, the great Spanish artist, who has been painting portraits in this country, says that American women improve with age, and that they are better looking at 40, or even at 60, than they are at 20. The casual observer, and especially the casual masculine observer, will be inclined to dispute this statement. We are in the habit of thinking of beauty in terms of youth, of shining young eyes and glossy hair, of peaches- and-cream complexion and slim, lithe figures. It is the flappers that men find easy on their eyes. Not grandma. And women themselves are so sold to the theory that beauty is a sole prerogative of youth that they cling to their girlhood with a death grip and dread as they do the judgment day that awful hour when, their youth gone, they must take their places among the once-was. In reality, the time of life at which a woman is most beautiful depends entirely upon the woman, upon what is inside of her head as well as outside of it, and upon whether she has a heart, or just a pump in her body. It 1s foolish to deny that youth has a special beauty of its own. Al young animals, even pigs, are beautiful. They have a charm, a grace, a sprightliness, a softness that makes them alluring. Almost all young girls are pretty, and at 18 or 20, if a girl has any gift of coloring and if nature has been even moderately kind in modeling her bony structure, she is beautiful. This is the age at which the Dumb Doras are at their best, because nothing else is expected of them than the prettiness of youth and the cute ways of a kitten. The sparkle in a young girl's eyes may be lit by intelligence, or it may merely be the result of having a good digestion. Her vivacity may be the expression of an eager and seeking soul, or it may be just the high spirits of youth. So it happens that many a girl who is dull and drab within has her brief flare of beauty that lasts only as long as her youth lasts. It is of such women that we say, “How early they faded,” and we marvel that they should be such homely middle-aged women when they were such pretty girls. The beauty of the woman of intelligence lasts far longer than that of the stupid woman. If there were no other argument on earth for educating women, a sufficient one would be found in the fact that it makes them so much better looking and so much more agreeable to behold. e e e NO one can have traveled in orfental countries without having been appalled at the ugliness of the women whose minds are undeveloped. In very early youth they often have a luscious beauty, but by the time they are middle-aged—and age comes early to the ignorant—they are hideous hags, with dull, sodden, expressionless countenances. No intelligent woman is ever as homely as the stupid one, and often the woman who had no beauty in her girlhood grows better looking as she grows older. Brains can mold even lumpish features into finer lines. The eyes out of which an understanding soul shines may not be perfect in color or shape, but they have more appeal than any ox-like orb that ever languished at you with a meaningless stare. Moreover, beauty lies so much in the intangible matter of expression, and this so often casts a radiance upon a homely face that makes it more beautiful than any lving picture with nothing behind It but just its mere prettiness. Whether a woman is beautiful or ugly at middle age depends most of all upon her character. By that time life has stamped her history upon her face. If selfishness has hardened her eyes; if peevishness has etched little lines about her mouth; if cruelty has straightened her lips; if envy, and greed, and uncharitableness have set their seal upon her; if she has let her mind deteriorate until she is dull and stupid, then she is ugly past the power of any beautifier to cure. But if she has filled her life with love, and kindliness, and charity, and helpfulness, then she is made beautiful through the sheer power of her goodness. The soul shines through such women’s faces as a lamp shines through an alabaster vase. That is the beauty that our mothers have, and that we see in the faces of holy women who have lived apart from the world. And often that we see in some humble woman who has never even thought of herself as being good-looking at all. And there is the beauty of age. Often a woman's most beautiful hour is | almost her last. 1t is when she Is done with the worries and trouble of the world that there comes to her a serenity and a peace that enfold her with a beauty that is far more ethereal than any that youth ever knows. It takes maternity to bring out beauty in some women. You bave seen many an ordinary, commonplace woman's face transfigured as it bends with the madonna look over the babe upon her breast. And all women who love greatly are beautiful as brides. And, anyway, it is a comforting thought to women that the flappers don't monopolize pulchritude, and that so great an authority as the most famous portralt painter of our day thinks they get better looking as they get older.
