gold watch.

One package of common post-cards, with lead pencil
attached. The postals to take the place of
letters.

One package writing-paper and stamped envelopes,
if post-cards do not meet the needs.

One pocket-knife, a big, strong one, with
substantial, sharp, strong blades, for outdoor
work and to use at meals.

One loaded camera, in case which has secure
leather loops through which your belt can be
slipped to carry camera and hold it steady,
leaving the hands free and precluding danger of
smashing the instrument should a misstep on mossy
stone or a trip over unseen vine or root suddenly
throw you down and send the camera sailing on a
distance ahead. Such an accident befell a girl
camper who was too sure that her precious camera

camera well back that you may not fall on it

fishing is not to be a prominent feature of the

One tin cup, with open handle to slide over belt.
The cup will serve you with cool sparkling water,
with cocoa, coffee, or tea as the case may be, and
it will also be your soup bowl. Keep the inside of
the cup bright and shiny. While aluminum is much

aluminum because it is such a good conductor of
heat that those articles would be very apt to burn
your lips if used with hot foods.

One dinner knife, if you obj
