MEN MEMBERS.

"'Females unattended or with each other are expressly forbidden to
wander off bounds; that is, off the three trails which pass near
this camp.

"'Picnics are forbidden without male attendants.'"

"Dear me," interrupted Billie, "aren't there any laws for the men to
follow? These are all against women."

"They are merely for your protection, my dear."

"That's what the men always say when they begin to trample on women's
rights," declared Billie.

"All right, Miss Suffragette, just wait a minute. There'll be a few for
the men.

"Fashions change with the times and manners, my boy," said Miss
Campbell. "But do give us the rules for the men of this household before
