While the mothers went on fish- ing trips or visited the surrounding places of interest she helped to make sand villages, took small children on voyages close to the shore or on walks to the berry fields. Since the girl in charge really enjoyed children, the work was not tedious to her, and the problem of expense took care of itself. lanager 5 Roof Ga MOTH .1 u... afeteria an from the "den. A typist sent' cards to all the hotels and cottages saying that she would answer business correspondence, make out hotel menus or send out letters ex- tolling the merits of the resort to pros- pective visitors. For the last-mention- ed work her services were sought be- cause she put human interest into her writing that did not appear in the usual descriptive circulars. One girl and her brother gave swim- ming lessons. Every morning and every afternoon they had large classes of persons who were eager to learn from some one who was' really expert. Another girl met her entire vacation expenses by taking, finishing and sell- ing small photographs. “Few vacation- ists get good pictures; either they don’t know how to gauge the lights on the water or they fail to pick out the really beautiful points of interest; maybe they want to be in the picture themselves; so I am always getting commissions to take pictures,” she ex-f plained. She did the finishing herself‘ and found that good snapshots were usually in great demand. Many resorts are a considerable disâ€" tance from the small town on which they depend for their supplies. People on vacation dislike to make trips to town, and so one girl seized the oppor- tunity to shop for the others. A slight YELLOW suggests warmth and the light of the sun and produces a feel- ing of comfort. Yellow paper renders a dark room bright and habitable. ORANGE has the same qualities as yellow. Curtains of this color in a bedroom have a stimulating effect on the nerves. - Some conclusions of a Central Euro- pean society which has made studies of the effects of color have been quoted in the Journal of the American Medi- cal Association. Among them are the following: RED is the color which represents the spontaneous joy of youth but it is also a color most hard on the eye. A neutral red causes a feeling of ener- vation. Persons subject to melan- cholla under the influence of red have their dark thoughts dissipated, but nervous people should avoid this color. TOâ€"DAY’S MY FRIEND. I don’t know much about To-morrow; I’ve never seen her yet. She may be very fair, To-morrow, But still I don’t regret That we have never met. To-day’s my friend, my comrade; she’s true blue. And in my heart I haven’t room for ‘two. Have you? When your vacation is done take stock of your abilities; plan your cam- paig'n- for the next year and when the time comes go forth confident that, if you are willing to give a part of your time to it, you can readily make a large share of your expenses. One woman who owned a fireless cooker kept its three compartments at work in the service of other cottagers who wished to spend their time on the water or in side trips and so was able to make the family vacation‘twice as long as she had expected it to be. Candy makers need only set up shop to be successful, because all vacationâ€" ists have a sweet tooth and the ordi- nary village store does not fill the deâ€" mand for sweets. Baking small cakes or frying doughnuts is another way to earn enough to extend the holiday. The right sort of girl can act as guide for a locality. If she knows the points of interest in the neighborhood, â€"the best fishing holes, the side trips and the berry patches,â€"she may find her services in steady demand. A girl who had had experience in teaching used her forenoons, or a part of them, in tutoring some children who had school work to make up. Her afternoons were free, and she spent all summer at the vacation resort instead of merely the three weeks that she had thought she could afford. payment from the cottager and a small commission from the merchants kept her in spending money all sum- mer. he EFFECTS OF COLOR ISSUE N0. 23â€"‘23 mfortin ‘ Lter wit HOT WEATHER DAINTIES.

Hardly anybody 'would deliberately endorse a movement for the increase of insects, yet that is what a vast ma- jority of Canadians are doing. The supporters of bird life are few in com~ parison. This situation is partially due to our relation with trees. We have been a nation of tree destroyers. Every per- son wino usveless‘ly destroys a tree is helping the hungry boards 0! insects in agriculture and forest depredations. On the other hand, every person who fights for the cause of tree conserva» tion is striking a blow to the suprem- acy of insects. Trees are the homes of birds and birds are the arch ene~ mies of insect life. No treesâ€"no RASPBERRY AND CURRANT ICEâ€"Boil two cups of sugar and four of water twenty minutes. Mash raspberries and currants separately and strain the juice through jelly bag. Add to the cooled syrup, and freeze. The adâ€" dition of the stiffly beaten whites of two eggs or a tablespoon of gelatine softened in cold water, and dissolved in the hot syrup, gives more body. These of course are general concluâ€" sions and may not prove true in all cases. Reactions to color vary with individuals and depend to some extent upon one’s previous association and experiences with color. But as a genâ€" eral rule bright colors excite and stimulate and Bark ones depfievsrs interior decoration of houses, and of rooms in hospitals. Birds vs. Insects. There’s time in the package Time to do the many things ordinarily put off on wash-day. For Rinso does not keep you standing over the wash-tub, rubbing until your back aches and your hands are red and sore. Rinso, an entirely different kincl‘of soap, soaks clothes clean. Rubbing and boiling are unnecessary. The big soapy Rinso suds gently loosen the most ground-in dirt without weakening a single thread. LEVER BROTHERS LIMITED TORONTO $uy a package today.

Why, revolvers were not invented in Columbus’s‘ time.” It is within bounds of probability that insects if unmo-lested could make this World a desert. Every kind of vegetation and domestic animal that man requires is a prey to insects. The loss to agriculture and the forests by insects is astounding. Tree protection is essential to wild life. There are more than 300,000 species of insects and new ones are being found daily. There are less than 1,000 kinds of birds in this country and some are rapidly being destroyed by unscrupulous hunters and the loss of natural breeding places â€" ornamental park and forest trees. It is said that bird life has decreased 75% in the last sixty years and that many species of migratory birds have been extermin- ated. This decrease in bird life has kept pace with the decrease in our forests.
