A i" Wife Gardener"
Indiana Farmer,l

armer.l
There is no economy in a woman making
drudge out Of herself by doing all the work
for a large family when help can be secured
at a nominal price and paid for out of the
surplus which her efforts can produce in the
garden; and in addition to this it requires
little extra labor TO enable her to build up a
small bank account of her own and still have
ample time to ''store her mind with useful
knowledge, read the news of the day, and be
n companion for her husband and counselor
for her children"
We know whereof we speak. Six yearn
ago we located at Brookside. Ill health COM
PEELED us TO give up all laborious kinds of in
door work Exercise in the open air being
recommended as the only remedy for re-
storing health, and not being content to
play the drcne we chose the garden for our
field Of labor. We scarcely had sufficient
strength to lift either spade or hoe. much
less use them; but once fairly started in the
business found our spare time pleasantly and
proftably employed in planning and per-
forming the lighter work always necessary
to be done in the garden. Finding a
ready market for our surplus, we soon dis
covered that the garden could be made the
most profitable part of the farm. The help OF
an extra hand was proffered us when needed
Our boundaries were gradually extended,
and through the natural drift and force Of
circumstances we soon found ourselves
full-Aedged 'wife gardener" The plat we
now devote to the growing Of vegetables and
small fruits for home consumption and vii
lage market embraces an area of five acres.
We have just finished transplanting 10000
early cabbage plants, and do not feel half az
tired and worn out as we would have been
had we been engaged in getting out the
weeks washing. We keep strict account of
all receipts and expenditures, and know just
what the profits are and where they come in.
With all abundance Of vegetables laid by for
home use the grocer's bill is greatly dimin-
ished, and this forms no inconsiderable part
of the profits. ANY industrious farmer'f
wife, with necessary help, can do as well as
we have done, if she lives close to market;
and if so far away that it is not convenient
to grow and sell green vegetables, it can be
made equally profitable to grow such as are
marketed in a dry state-such crops as Lima
and navy beans, onions, onion sets, and pota-
toes. As many as 20 of the leading periodi-
Gals of the day are regular visitors at or
home, and we find plenty or time during the
week TO read and digest the greater part Of
them all.

ROATING a0wN

Some Of the bravest, brightest girls alive

full-chested, merry and active. For these
jolly souls here is an artistic gown that will
let their muscles have full play, and yet look
strikingly attractive. The blouse waist is
made Of cream-colored flannel The skirt,
cuffs and collar are Of cream-colored flannel,
striped with navy blue. Other colors or
materials may be substituted according to

Eating on Gold.

Mrs. Astor's supper to twenty Of her inti-
mate friends was given Monday night. On
this occasion the famous service Of solid gold
was used. These yellow dishes are seldom
brought out from the Astor vault. They
cost 100000 1t is said, though have heard
tho figures exaggerated to s250,OO0. Any
how, there is no great extravaganza in them,
for the metal can at any time be melted into
good bullion and only the workmanship lost,
l have attended many Of the Astor enter
tainments but never one when the gold
utensils were displayed. A friend who has
had that inestimable privilege declared that
she didn't enjoy the experiment very much,
after all -.
2In the first place, she said, 3the eatables
were completely overcome and dominated
by the plates on which they were served.
The daintiest morsels seemed to have no
flavor at all, and after awhile fancied that
they became impregnated with the peculiar
metallic taste. And then got it into my
head that the man sitting opposite to me was
a detective in disguise, placed there to see
that didn't slip a plate into my bodice. He
was afterward introduced to me. and had
reason to believe that his covert glances had
been purely sentimental. hut they spoiled
my supper, all the same. No, thank you,
fine china ware is good enough for me.

Boating Costumes.

We give this week two pretty and simple
patterns for dresses to be worn upon the
water. Nothing is more picturesque here
than a suitable costume. 1t makes pretty girl
look prettier and a plain woman handsome.
Moreover, and always, it is the duty OF men
and women both to look as we'll as they can on
all occasions They should not go beyond their
means, neither should they In dressing them
selves put on anything that will do them
injury, such as poisonous cosmetics, tight
boots, squeezing corsets, and over heavy gar
ments that make life a burden. But apart
from such as this, they should always take
pains to look well. Did not Shakespeare
himself say:
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy"
So we take pleasure in laying before our
readers costumes which, whether for lake,
river or sea, will be suitable this summer.
These pretty costumes, like some others that
we have given, were designed for this column

What an English Groom Said to - Yankee
HostIer.

When a horse comes in all wet with per-
spiration you let him stand in the stable and
dry with all the dirt on. In England we take
the horse as he comes in from a drive and
sprinkle blood-warm water all over him,
from his head to his feet Then we scrape
him down and blanket him, rubbing his legs
and face dry. Thus, in an hour he is clean
and dry and ready to take good feed, while
with your way he will stand and swelter for
hours, and finally dry sticky and dirty Our
horses never founder and never take cold
We never use a currycomb. You scratch
your horses too hard The only care neces-
sary is to have the water not very cold, then
bathe them instantly, while You are rubbing

Brass Crates.

A writer Of good taste in such matters
says: Don't put elaborate brass CRATES in
your rooms unless you intend to uss them.
A snowy brass CRATE unstained by smoke or
ashes suggests in all its glittoring nowness
showroom and not home. A fire place
not consecrated to fire, that has neither
warmth nor suggestion of warmth, is
dreadful sham; tits not artistic; It is not
decorative; it kills rather than gives

The moon shines bright,
And its clear mellow light,
Like flood, falls on country and town,
And the sparkling snow CLEANS

And the stars twinkle merrily down.

In sleigh side by side,
And the man has his sheltering arm
Round the maiden's trim waist,
And her lips he does taste,
And he VOWS he viii shield her from harm.
