GIRLS' NATIONAL HONOR GUARD PLANS SUMMER CAMP BY THE SEA ON PRACTICAL PLAN
Dresoirgc
In
gue
AH activities art putting a large
sized crimp In apc-rts clothes. It
not seemly, little one, to have
the appearance of being a no account
, gad, about. Every other woman one
'.'sea, is perambulating- about with a
r heap bis; knitting; bag dangling from
her arm. If she la knitting a sweater
fop herownest self she hates to con
fess It, for by all humane principles
' ah should be knitting things for the
soldiers, though we rather rancy that
' soma of the eueer looking socks that
' - are coins; through the hand knitting
' ' mills will be a bit bumpy and bruisy
ti la the seam a Furthermore, the young
i' person wrestling with five needles is
I likely to -stab herself full of small
t- dents, but the occasion justifies the
f risk. -
V ' To- return to sports clothes: like
v every other good fashion note, they
have been yodcled about too stren
uously. Colors were a bit too vivid
and styles a bit too rash. Therefore,
we are getting down now to practical
tones and are electing hats and suits
i that will not look like the circus pa
. f rade. We have neither the time nor
f Of the day. We do be as wa is. that's
. SH .
' The result Is that every woman has
- M t,y out for utilitarian attire. There
a la no special slacking up that simply
, t won't do but there is less Interest
in the fluff stuffs and the bizarre. It
to letting to be the fashion to be un
fashionable. But that won't last long:.
Styles have changed from the day of
- cardan aprons, apples and. snaaes to
the present moment when the lemale
of the species trims her hat with burnt
4 . .
' . Sports coats of glove silk and eatlns
are among the new duds designed for
- midsummer wear and most of them
ara cut rather plain and display soft
; . girdles or narrow baits.
.. Frocks of serge, Polret twill and
gabardine are having a vogue that U
, u n usual. They are trimmed rather
simply, and the special restive toucn
is contributed by the addition or ex
e.ulslte neckwear, fichu effects, wide
aallor collars, surplice draperies that
,tle at the back, or collar and cuff
. cats of organdy Or batiste trimmed
4. with filet or val. There is interest
' In "fins needlework, and in no way can
one wear embroideries and laces to
- such good effect an when they are er-
Tanged In the form of neckwear.
' We notice that skirts are cut nar
- rower,' and the prospects are that we
are getting- back to the nice little
V tube cjt. This is economy, since the
.1 output. rf dress fabrics Is scarce, ow
. .ing to the fact that the mills are turn
. ing out quantities of khaki and top-
,v coat stuff for the soldier boys.

Military Discipline Will Prevail and Opportunity May Be Afforded Each Member of the
Camp to Acquire Information Along Useful Lines While Enjoykig a Wholesome
Summer Outing at the Seashore; Columbia Beach Is' Chosen Location.
At latl What arery girt baa b-sni
wanting to take a part in a camp for
girls at Columbia beach, toy the sea, to
be held under the auspices of the Girls'
National Honor Guard, from July 1 to
September 15. A week or two weeks
is the length of the sojourn of each
girl; the quarters, a cot in one corner
of a tent. Army life, or as near a
replica of It as possible, military dis
cipline, army mesa and military drill
sre all features of this most unique, in
structive, and yet enjoyable camp. A
splendid placa to spend a summer va
cation, cost most nominal (5.50 a
week for room and board, or, more
properly, "cot and mess.1 Hound trip
ticket for the season XI. Not only an
opportunity for frolic will be found
here, but also a chance to learn by ex
perience the fundamentals of camp
life, camp nygleno and. Incidentally,
camp discomforts, giving a broader vi
sion pf what onr "boys" must go
through, and What might be required
of the glri In event of their perform
ing actual servloe in this conflict.
Girls wanting to know how much
-roughing tt" thay an stand, and just
what value they wonld be In an emer
gency ara vrgad to attend the Honor
Guard camp
To tha Xaarthfnl Ufa
Th camp will be of particular value
in that it combine a compulsory pro
gram especially adapted to the need
of wartime, with tha usual vacation
activities. Tha hygienlo life which the
girls will lead, with tha ragular hours
for arising and retiring, well prepared,
wholesome food and the proper amount
of exerclsa and rest will serve to put
them In fit condition for tha strenuous
times which await us all next winter.
Military discipline will prevail, and
by the and of tha cummer the girls, as
well as the boys, will have learned the
importance of obedience and respect
for orders. A sergeant will be sta
tioned in each tent, and to her falls the
direct responsibility for the good con
duct of her tentmates. Officers will
also have charge of the registration of
those on leave, and every girl In camp
111 be assigned special duties. A
traveling library of 75 books has been
attained, and during library hours an
officer will be put in charge of this
department. Opportunity for leader
ship in at least one line will be given
to all, the aim being to train the girls
both to lead and to follow, thus mak
ing of them citlsens who can be de
pended upon to perform small duties
efficiently as well as to take the in
itiative in larger tasks.
Competemtt Instruction Assured
It is the Honor Guards' ambition to
have the camp conducted almost en
tirely by their own girls, and, owing to
their large membership, this can un
doubtedly fee dona Military drill will
ba taught by girls who proved espe
cially efficient in the drilling classes
given this winter. Competent play
ground instructors will have charge of
the swimming classes, folk dancing,
hikes and athletic oporta. College
graduates, who have specialised in hy
giena will give lectures in that subject,
and others will lecture on current
events and educational problems aris
ing from the war. Girls who havo
worked under the supervision of the
Red Cross will take over tha sewing
for that organization and the classes
in knitting. There will be no courses
In first aid or Red Cross, since the one
or two weeks which each girl will
spend at the camp is considered too
short a time for adequate Instructions
in such oomprehenslve work. Various
all day hikes or excursions will be
planned at least once a week, and in
structions in night hiking will be giv
en as welL Girls in the French contin
gent will have the advantage of Frenco
lessons from a college graduate well
qualified to give them. Evening enter
tainments will be provided, bonfire
parties will be frequent, and a large
auditorium is at their service for -lectures
and dancing; in fact, everything
that goes to make a summer vacation
enjoyable and Instructive.
ZTo Uniform Dress
There will be no uniform dress worn.
but the girls are requested to confine
their wardrobes to serviceable outin
clothes and to bring no superfluous
baggage. Their equipment should con
sist of a short woolen skirt, woolen and
cotton middies, hiking boots and wool
en hose, a sweater or heavy coat
bloomers, gym shoes and a bathing
suit and outing hat Bach girl must
furnish her own sewing materials, 1. e..
needles, thread, scissors and knitting
needles or crochet hooks. For hiking.
canteens and knapsacks will be useful,
and musical instruments will help to
make tha evenings pleasant. The fish
erman will have abundant opportunity
to show her ability providing she has
a fisherman's equipment for the Nea-
coxie is well stocked with fish. Ten
nis fiends must bring their own balls
and raquets.
Girls wishing to attend the first of
July should sign up at once, and reser
vations for - August must be made
early, as only SO can be accommodated
at one time. Applications are received
at 312 Selling building, and final ar
rangements will be made at the Honor
Guard meeting to be held Tuesday eve

AVOID NAGGING
Wast of Nervous Energy
of your generous mind is to steer
clear of the deadly sin of nagging.
Of course you want to be open and
frank and sot beat any of the birds
about the bushes, for these actions
always look suspicious and under
handed. But In your "making over"
what yon want to fear as you would
the evil of the ages is that you might
get into the habit of nagging.
There Is nothing more perilous to
your friendship than continual picking
and everlasting fault finding. It is
enough to make one want to flee the
country to have to be nagged at. If
there was something ln the marriage
ceremony against this lndicretlon it
would do much to hold a good many of
the hands which have been joined to
gether from being put asunder. Nag
ging wives are blots on the escutcheon
of any man, and a nagging husband Is
unendurable. A family In which chil
dren are nagged is a miserable insti
tution. With Rosseau, let us all agree
that it were better to place the chil
dren at once fn orphan asylums. There
at least they have no parents to scold
snd harass them from morning till
bedtime.
Nagging is a time waster. More
than' this, it is harder on the nerves
than the boll weevil to the cotton. K
man can live with a continually fault
finding wife, no matter how calm of
disposition he is sooner or later the
nagging gets on his nerves and he
either loses all self-dignity and an
swers back with sarcasm or he grows
sullen and silent or he leaves home for
the club or the saloon.

try to persuade them to change their
course or mend their ways or do what
they should do to put themselves ln
the right light.
But above all else remember that
if you value friendships at all you
must go at your busineses of correct
ing and suggesting and persuading
and pleading with such delicate tact
snd softness of manner that your
friends will hardly be aware of the
missionary work which you are carry
ing on. There are ways and wave or
making your corrections, ah oi tnese
ways are tempered with study snd
forethought, so that what you have
to say or do will not in the least rile
your friends or irritate them or injure
them. There is no business in mis
world where diplomacy is more needed
and demanded than in thla business
of trying to make them over.
If the job can't be done smoothly
and quietly it might lust as well not
ba attempted. In fact. It were better
far to leave your friends just as they
ara than to atart something which Is
going to break off diplomatic relations.

Frightened the Irishman
In certain parts of the West Indies
the negroes speak English with a broad
brogue. They are probably descended
from the slaves of the Irish adventur
ers who accompanied the Spanish
settlers.
A gentleman from Dublin upon ar
riving at a West Indian port was ac
costed by a burly negro fruit vender
with, Th top uv th' mornlr.' to ye.
an' would ye be after wantln to buy
a bit o' fruit, orT?"
Th irishman stared at him In

"And how long have ye been hereT
he finally asked.
XJoln' on three months, yer honor."
said the vender, thinking of the time
since he bad left his inland home.
"Three months. Is it? Only tbrea
months an' as black as thot? Faith,
I'll not land!"
