WHAT'S A ROOKIE WITHOUT
HER GUN? M'LISS QUERIES
Novel Camp at Chevy Chase Teaches Women to
Cook and Sew and Have a Healthy
Time, But Not to Shoot
A'"1'. to .Mnk of lt After havltiB provided themselves with Jolly little
im Uttlforma' smart lesslngs, flannel shirts with soft collars nnd raklshly
military chapeaux. the female "roohles" enrolled at the Chevy Chase camp are
hot to b permitted to have any Run practice.
Instead of r fearfully cold blue six shooter, or a murderous looking (run, the
brayea will liae what? A needle, somo thread and bandaging, saucepans and
skillets and a cookbook! True, these can be potent weapons for either life or
death, but It must be dlscouragingly disillusioning to liavo to supplant one's
visions of a broadsword clanking mannlshly ngalnst one's cunning bloomers with
the more pacific Implements tof domesticity.
Not every woman who belloca that the women of the nation as well as Its
men should be capable of doing their part cfllclerttly In wartime Is so situated
as to bo able to enrol at this "Woman's I'lattsbUrg." And not every woman, 'it
may bo Written In tmilse. ncrrls tn lm Inllr-M tho klnrl nf nt-Annrnrtnoaa tlinl tl.n
lady "sojors" are going to learn. ' I
But thero are some of Us, doubtless the ctrli who are left behind whom the
Chevy Chase kind of training would do no harm. We can nil be prepared, een
though wo cannot go to camp.
I doubt very much If sewing and cooking for an army differs In Its prima
essentials from the sewing nnd cooking for a family. And as for administering
first aid to the Injured, It should be a part of every woman's equipment, oven
though she Is a fighting paelrtst and disbelieves heartily In war and all that
pertains to It.
"We who awaken on these gorgeous mornings to the prosalo and Insistent
tinkle of the alarm clock rather than to tho rousing and more romantic blare
of the reveille will doubtless have to suppress pangs of envy that we, too. are not
nmong those present at the camp. Chevy Chase, with Its rolling green hills nnd
vales, Is Indeed at all times an Idyllic spot and doubly bo at this time of the year,
with the trees alt Japancsy and blossomy nnd tho birds "in line voice," at the
musical reporter might say.
But the fact that camping out In tho Interest of preparedness must be an
exceedingly enjoynble frolic detracts In not the slightest degiee from Its praise
worthiness. It Is a splendid object lesson to those women who "did not raise their
boys to be soldiers" that such a movement as this should become nntlon-wlde
end that the camp enrolment will show before the season has terminated names
of recruits from virtually every State In tho Union.
I'm not so sure, however, that the Interest shown In tho movement Is not
attributable as much to the outdoor life that the training offers as to any spirit
of patriotism. Modern life consists In being caged most of tho time. Indeed, I
am afraid some of us are becoming so Inured to tho bars that, like canary birds,
when the door Is opened to us we are undecided whether or not wo want to
come out. j
"Camp" life?" wo query fretfully; "oh, think of the Inconvenience. There's
the danger of the night air, nnd mosquitoes. And then ono Is apt to have
trouble about one's dally bath, and changing beds Is risky. Ana, oh, do jou
think the game Is worth the candle?"
But tho "Woman's Plattsburg" from all accounts combines the Joys of out
door life with tho conveniences of Indoor and those who aro able to avail them
selves of the vacation that It offers are deservedly to be envied.

We spoke last week of the ushers at a
wedding and Just what they are supposed
to do The best man and maid of honor
also have their special work cut out for
them The best man accompanies tho
bridegroom when he comes from the chan
cel to meet the bride. He also keeps the
ring until It Is time for It to be used
In the ceremony, and, at the house. It Is
tho best man who Is with the bridegroom
when he Is ready to start for the carriage,
nnd who usually carries the luggage down
and Is supposed to protect thf bridal pair.
If nnsslhle. from the onslaught of rice
and confetti which Is usualty directed at
them Thr. maid of honor precedes the
bride up the aisle, takes her bouquet from
her at the altar, and when she turns to go
down the aisle gives It bsck to her and
then arranges her train for her The
bridesmaids have no sperlnl duties but to
look ns charming as possible Thev walk
up the nlsle two by two, after the ushers
and before the maid of honor Usually
they are dressed alike, and they carry
bouquets or bnskets of flowers The wed
ding pirty which Includes maid of honor,
bridesmaids nnd flower girls Is always
considered one of tho prettiest to have.

Poem of Grecn-Eycd Monster
"Qt OME time ago I saw a motion picture
O entitled The Green Eyed Monster' by
the William Fox Company I should like
so much to get the poem from which the
picture was produced. This would be in
easy task If I knew tho title of the poem.
Can you assist me?
"ALEXANDER W "
We pass your request alung the line
Some, perhaps many, of our readers, mav
be wiser than we as to the poem and the
pictures illustrating It. Tho subject Is old
enough, and but too common.
Market for Old Paper
"Please tell me what old paper and
magazines are worth per hundred pounds'
Also of an available market for them. I
Inclose a stamped and self-directed enve
lope for reply. 1 Jt
As you were told by mall, the Corner
has no knowledge of the value of papers
and magazines when sold by 'the pound
We have observed calls published In sev
eral papers upon householders in general
not to burn auch things as rubbish, but
to collect and send them to certain mllla
where they will be ground Into pulp for
future use. Will readers whose attention
has been particularly directed to this sub
ject give our correspondent an idea of
whether It is worth one's while to store
the dally papers, weeklies, and monthlies
Instead of consigning them to the flames
or the Junk shop?
Black Walnut Furniture
"I have heard that old black walnut
furniture is being bought at good prices.
Can you or any reader tell me the best
way to get Information about It? S C."
'Black walnut has gone clean out of
fashion." pronounced an expert In artis
tic furnishings to wjiom I referred your
query. "It. Is used now In offices and
such places, and may command a toler-
Buio price irom dealers in oftlce furniture
I doubt If It ever comes Into favor again
Yet what a rage there was for it 60-odd
years ago. Farmers were encouraged to
set out plantations of black walnut sap
lings In the confident expectation of find
ing n them bonanzas In the course of a
quarter ceptury. Ah, well, the trees maka
good firewood for the farmers' successors.
So wags the world " Jt may be true that
fashion has turned again In her tracks.
. What's a Slumber Party?
"Will you send me full information re
garding a slumber party? I have never
been to one, although I have had Invita
tions. Is it necessary that I stay all

Removing Paint From Oak
