SWITCH ON THE MOON

The bewitching splendotirs of a summer cvening and an out-of-doors eanipI fire are lost in the winter evenings wheu we hara to have the affairs ittl doors. An elcctrieally lifi pyramid of

stickg certainly improves the atmosphere and makes the time far happier than if it was spent in the hall under the bare electric ligbt. This type of fire is so well known that there is no use in describing one. But here is an addition I read of the other day in The Scout. "What about the smoke?" you ask. Here are two ways of giving most realistiv results. Get from the chemist a few fumigators! These little cone-shaped objects are quite inexpensive and will smoulder for a long time without attention. Tell your chemist what you want them for and I have no .doubt that he will give you some that give off a very pleasant odour, and incidentally provide the required smoke. The ones I experimented with gave off a pleasant pine-wood srnell. If you placo them in a small tin beneath the fire they will be quite safc. The sccoud method is to use a piece of paper that has been soaked in a solution of saltpetre and allowed to dry. "BIG SMOKE."
