THE SUMMER GIRL
She is an American Product and as Sweet
Rose.


as a Rose.
The evolution of social types in Amer
lea has produced no more interesting
figure than the summer girl - the dar-
ling, the delight and despair of the sus-
ceptibie male heart. Young, blooming,
vivacious and gay, she epitomizes in
her delightful personality all that is
most charming in the charming sex at
the most charming season. Her happy
fortune it is to exist only when the
skies are bright. She is a summer girl
by virtue only of the year and her life
being both in the green leaf. Accord
ingly at the seaside, in the mountains,
visiting a friend in the country, or
boarding at farmhouse, she fits before
us, Joyous. bright, careless, with no
thought but to be lovely and to make
the most of the bewitching influences
of idle hours in the warm sunshine or
under the tender rays of summer moons.
The butterfly of her kind, her day is
short and she tastes of every flower.
Let her laugh while she may, for pres
emily comes the whitening October
wind to blast her fascinating summer
costumes, to drive her indoors, and
to metamorphose her into that sadly
uninteresting creature, the winter girl.
1t is much-disputed question at what
age the girl blossoms into the summer
girl, if, peradventure, she ever becomes
a summer girl at all-for it is not given
to all girls to attain that happy combi-
nation of physical and intellectual
charms that go to the making of the type
of perfection under consideration. IN
discriminating persons have held tRas
the summer girl stage of evolution
comedies with the age of sweet IL in
every case. Better authorities contend,
however, that only the sweet girl grad
uate ever bccomcsa summer girl at that
comparatively immature age. Eigh-
teen and even % are required at times
to produce the cultivation of intellect,
the poetic insight, taste in dress and
tact by which the summer girl is dis
tinguished from other pretty girls. For
intellectually, gentle as moonlight, is
one of her invariable qualities, without
other respects can for moment claim
to be classed with her
1t has been questioned whether the
summer girl is an annual, perishing at
the close of the first season, or has a
longer period. The weight of authority,
It seems, is with those who assert she is
biennial. Some assert, in fact, that in
exceptional cases she blooms out afresh
summer after summer, until the age of
80, after which, what with neuralgia
and rheumatism contracted in moon
light walks, she invariably retires. But
the summer girl at any age and any
where is as pretty as a picture and as
sweet as the sweetest flowers of June

HORSES FOR FARMERS.
Many Seek General Purpose Horse, Yet
Never Obtain 1t.

Never Obtain 1t.
Strictly speaking general purpose
horse is one that can do everything
that horse is called ON to do. 1t is
impossible in the nature of things for
horse to be so constructed that he
can do everything. A horse to be a
general purpose horse should combine
all the qualities OF a runner, trotter,
a PAGER. Il roadster, a coacher, a sad
dler, a hunter and draft horse, also a
ladies driving horse and children's
pony. The greatest value in a horse
comes from his possessing some partic-
ular quality, or combination of quail
tiles in the same line, and the ability
to do one thing and do it well. The
better adapted horse is to one thing,
the more valuable he is.
The view that farmers take of a gem
eral purpose horse Is one that will be
heavy and strong enough to do all the
work on the farm and at the same
time combine enough speed to make a
good road horse, both single and
double. No doubt such horse is val
liable ON farm. We have seen some
horses that would work with any
horse on the farm. draw two tons singly
on a good road and then, with a rest of
day or two. get out on the road and
travel eight miles an hour and mile
in three minutes or better. Such a
horse is an ideal farm horse for mos
eastern farmers. Not one farmer in
1000 owns such a horse and not
one horse in 100. 900 can do that. The
general purpose horse as found on
the farm is nearly worth
less in the great markets. They are
too light for any draft work, not fast
enough for roadsters, not large enough
for coachers and so they are sold for
500 or Sl25 to go on the street car or
grocery wagon. Put 200 pounds more
weight on him and he will do for draft
work and bring twice as much money.
Add two inches more to his height and
draw his head up little higher by
training when he is colt and he will
do for Il coachcr and bring three times
as much. [ Sc Il better sire and dam

a roadster.
The majority of farmers on a 100
acre farm keep three or more horses.
For farm horses they should secure
mares that weigh at least /, 100 pounds,
and 200 pounds or more is better. If
these mares are strictly of the draft
type, they should be bred to a pure
blooded draft stallion of good weight
and size, and the colts will be worth
something to sell. Or if the mares are
tall and not SO bloclSy they may be
bred to a good coach stallion with a
view of raising coachcrs. One or two
horses weighing 1000 or 1850 pounds
apiece could be kept to do the driving
and at the same time they would be
useful in drawing the moving ma
chine, hay rake, cultivator and doing
other light farm work. The sooner
farmers get out of the idea of trying
to raise a general purpose horse and
go in for a special purpose the more
money they will make from their farms

GOOD FORM.
A Few Items About the Correct Thing fl
Invitations, Calls, Etc.


According to the best social form
very young ladies do not invite guests,
especially gentlemen, in their own
names. If the mother is not living all
invitations should be written in the
fathers name. although an elderly sis
ter presiding over the house may issue
notes of invitation in her own name.
1t is not at all correct thing to in
vite lady to an lat home until after
you have first called on her in a forma.
manner, and the visit has been returned.
Calls made on reception days where a
guest is staying are not binding upon
the guest to return, and no separate
card is left for guest on a reception
day, although each caller leaves card
for the hostess, to serve as an after call.
This card is also necessary to assist the
hostess remembering all who have
called.
A young lady enters the room at the
right of her chaperon. In escorting
each other ladies never offer or take
the arm. The host and hostess retain
their post of reception during the whole
evening. After brief interchange of
salutations the guests pass on to give
place to others.
Invitations to sat homes do not re-
quire answer unless one is requested; in
this case an immediate reply must be
sent. No such words as regrets, :"
accepts etc, should be written on a
card; full reply should be written on
a sheet of note paper or on a card made
for the purpose.
A half hour is the conventional time
for the guests to remain at a reception.

What Scale Shall Bux1

This question is asked by many. Certain
It is that of all articles scale should be
honestly made and accurate. A low price
or what seems to be low, if it means an in
ferior implement, is a bad bargain.
Thereis scale-maker who has had long
and honorable career in the business. "He
pays the freight" You probably have
heard Of him. He says of his scale: "We
offer it on trial, guaranteeing it to be better
than any cheap Scale, and that no Scale
hi.gh-priced or low priced, is bitter than it.
With no travelling men, no high rents or nc
bribing of public weighers to throw out
some other Scale, our expenses are so low
that we can afford to sell a tirst-class Scale
at fair price"

was yellow, my head dull, and I had
such pains in my left side. In the

my breath became short, and I had

In putting cases of sections on hives
it is best not to be too fast, and to put
them on the strong colonies first. 1t is
worse than useless to put them on
hives where the bees are unable to
cover more than half their combs.
Keep close watch, and as fast as
hives become crowded put on the sec.
tions and add more as fast as needed.
There is not much need of hurry in
taking them of. Better leave them on
until all the cells are capped, but should
