two next to him are likely to share the
misfortune, because Of their close prox-
unity and the fact that they are not
On their guard. If the leader turns
aside sharply to escape an obstacle
those closely following it will be sure
to encounter it. They have neither
the time nor the presence Of mind to
do otherwise. It is estimated that

there is something new under the sun
after all, at least in the berry business.
The newcomer is called the wine berry
In shape and color it is not unlike the
raspberry, though it IS trife smaller
in size. It's taste and faver is com
biration Of the raspberry and the old
fashioned red currant. It is superior
to either Of the berries from which it
sprung, and has an advantage over
either in that it ships better and lasts
longer. It is a graft from the rasp-
berry and is the result Of considerable
study and experiment. It grows in eV-
cry respect like the red raspberry, and
is as prolific. Those that have been
sent to market so far this season do
not show up as well as they should for
the reason that there has been but lit

4 Woman AScicuIturist.

The number Of women entering agri-
cultural fields is constantly increasing.
Women are realizing that the nervous
temperament, with which most of the
sex are endowed, is greatly benefited
by living out in the open air. Hosts
of women throughout the land are now
conducting successful stock farms.
Mrs. Phebe Tabor WiIletts is the DOS
SCISSOR of a fancy stock farm at Roslyn,
Long Island. She started first TO make
butter, which found ready sale. But
size soon realized the necessity of bay-
ing first. class COWS to make frst-class
butter, so turned her attention to the
breeding and raising of Guernsey cat
tie. Mrs. Willetts now has one OF the
finest herds Oh Long Island. She has
found time as well to keep up her fine
house, rear several children and attend
personally to her household affairs.
"Old Brick" is the name OF the home

Of that part of the country. 1t was
the first brick house built in that sec

lawn. Near it is situated the old home

A Pretty Walk.

To be thoroughly graceful long
steps and quick, short steps should
be equally avoided, remarks q French
woman. A stiff walk is also very I'M
graceful, and that is the great fault of
English girls. They walk too stifiiy
and take too long strides.
Spanish women have very pretty
walk, naturally, as also have Italian
country girls and all accustomed to
carry weights on their heads.
To exercise walking a weight on the
head Isl very good lesson. You must
not be content, however, to walk
straight before you without letting
the weight fall from your lead. You
must turn backward and forward, and
from side to side, as italian country
girls do when they carry their water
Jars from the well and can turn in all
directions without drop OF water be-
ing spilled from the jar on their head.
More marriages are made up. at the
we'll in Italy than at any other public
place. Young rustic fellows stand by
the we'll to watch the girls fill their
jars and carry them; away on their
heads with grace given only to them;
and the most graceful among them
has the most admirers from whom to
choose l@r hrsbaad.
The French ate also very graceful
walkers.
Study youc walk. girls. Take
dancing Lessons to begin with and
then repeF your lessons before your
long toile glass. A pretty walk is
beauty IN itself, and everyone who
will ca acquire this beauty. Do it.
