A Cozy Porch By Marie Marot I
ND now has come the time when we move
ourselves and our social activities to the
front porch—that is. if we are one of
those fortunates who are the proud posessor of
such a luxury. For the afternoon bridge, or the
formal tea. and even for luncheons and break
fasts, the porch looms large when plannir.r the
Summer activities. Really, the possibilities of
the oozily furnished porch are lesion.
The decorator who planned the porch illu
strated, has taken into consideration all the
things that make for comfort, from the furni
ture to the color scheme. The wicker furniture
is painted in a coo! green, cushioned :n yellow,
orange and black. The rush rug embodies the
same colors. The lamp has a black glaze base
with orange parchment shade, and the plants are
in orange pots. Every available space is filled
with flowers, wild or cultivated, and a cool, in
viting “room" is the result.
The beauty of the color scheme utilized here
is, that it blends with anything, and you need
have no fear of a clashing of colors that will
jar instead of soothe the jaded nerves.
The hostess who can offer a porch for enter
tainment will find her teas and bridges more
than nopular and if will be a joy to hear the
delighted exciamntions of guests as they enter
such a cool, soothing spot on a hot Summer day.

orange ice were served cn decorated
trays to 20 guests.

TWO GIRL CAMPERS
AND BIG BROTHER BOB
He Was So Terribly Worried About Mary, But, You
See, Sayc Winifred Black In Telling the Story,
Helen Was Only His Sister—
By WINIFRED BLACK
Mary and Helen have gone camping.
Bless their hearts. Mary has a brand new little car built for two and
Helen has a brand new lunch kit, and that car and that lunch kit just
had to be used, that's all.
So Mary put on her . \ ing breeches and Helen
put on her camping clothes, and they loaded up
their car with bacon and a sack of potatoes and
loaves of bakers’ bread, and they put money in the
purse for gas and oil and what they insist on call
ing ' eats.” Mary took her camera and Helen took
records, also some extra sweaters—Helen tooted,
her ukelele—and would you believe it they put a
little ten-dollar phonograph in the car and some
Mary waved her hand and they were off.
They intend to make the foot hills by tonight
and make camp by a certain bubbling spring brook
—the one Bob is always talking about.
Only, just before they started. Bob came and
stood with his foot on the running board and he
said, said he:
Going to make Bubbling Spring tonight are

CARTER’S IEu PILLS
[■ And Bob made a hideous creep
ing motion with his hand and said
"B-R-R-R"
Helen turned as white as a sheet,
but Mary just made a face and off
they went.
I don't think Bob is very much
worried about Benjamin Buttler or
the little Buttlers. because half an
hour after the girls had tooted their
last toot and waved their last wave
I saw Bob out in the garage fussing
with his roadster. And he packed it
all up as if he were going camping
somewhere, too.
He grinned when I asked him
about it. #
"Well, you see." he said "there are
a lot of toughs out this time of i
the year and Mary is so darn pretty.
Oh. well I’ll tag along behind and
see that nothing happens to them.",
And Bob packed a ukulele, too.
and a lot more records and I sup
pose by this time every tree in the
mountains knows—"I’ll get by if
only I have you.”
But the queerest thing about it
all is what Bob said about Marv.
Oh. yes. Mary s well enough, she
has nice skin and pretty dancing
blue eyes, but Helen is reallv the
beauty of the two anbyodv will tell
you that.
Helen is Bob's sister, though, so
I suppose that makes the difference
don’t you?
