New York. Dec. 2o.-The latest and

After the year of experiments and
rent my cottage to visitors, enthusi-

economical comfort of my way of liv-

ital 1 had, in fitting up a couple of tiny
old homesteads and offering them for
rent. In ten days most desirable ten
ants were in residence. One was an
American authoress who wanted a
quiet place in which to do a summers
work; the other was a London artist
and his wife. Thew came to spend
three months and they stayed eight.
In the winter the cottages were
snapped UP by we'll to do young men
who wanted inexpensive shooting
boxes. Every summer now the artist
and the authoress come back to those
same cottages and so glibly did they
relate their village experience that be-
fore the second year was out l had six
cottages on my list, and four of them
were rented the year round to the
same people. Now that I own pretty
nearly all the village I've found it

OF the ancient and tiny Cock inn and
turn it into sort of picturesque club
house for cottage residents.

Multiply the above sum total by
fifty-two and you will find as we did
that the result is five hundred and
twenty dollars year, or two hundred
and sixty dollars apiece. Now, of course
considering what we had for this tiny
sum the purchasing powers Of five
hundred and twenty dollars seems I'M
believeable; but as 1 promised by say
ing, living in an English village is very
cheap and wages are most moderate.
The stout, strong, rosy, respectful
young woman who cooked and washed
for us and did all the heavy house work
was supremacy content with her eight
shillings a week and keep, and in the
kitchen, not a drop of grease nor
grain of salt went to waste. She baked
our bread in our brick oven twice a
week, turned the crusts into "totty' and
delicious buildings and saved every
meat bone for the season, when soap
boiling and beer brewing came around.
From May to October the price of
such food as we could not raise in our
garden or pigeon loft was absurdly
low. Butter the twelve months around
was twenty cents a pound, eighteen
eggs were sold for twenty-four cents,
a big roasting chicken was worth
forty-fve cents, a five cent fish gave
us a dainty dish for two meals, a
three cent caulifower provided an
ample dish for four persons and a
pennys worth OF mustard and cress
gave us more salad than we could eat

until Christmas kept us supplied with
admirable fresh vegetables and our
fruit bushes and trees bore such am
ME crops that we preserved enough

fine plums and pears from two es-

cart were going at a bargain. We
rushed forth to meet the bargain and
for five pounds or twenty-five dollars

pony is not much bigger than an over
sized Newfoundland dog, but his
strength and youth and cheerful good

The Actual Cost.
when we had taken on the pony and
cart, had a matched tea arbor built
for five dollars in one corner of the
flower garden and built and stocked
with pigeon loft on one end of the wall
of the cottage, we found that the cost
of our living per week was still amaz-
ingly small, and considering the COM
forts and conveniences we enjoyed
almost unbelievable. We kept our
own maid of all work and had in a
farmers boy, who gave two whole days
in the week to work the vegetable gar

Miss Bessie Marthall, an Oklahoma
girl, will be entertained at the White
House in January as the guest of the
Presidents eldest daughter, on the
invitation of Mrs. Roosevelt. The
President and Mrs. Roosevelt, it
would seem, prefer to establish
their own precedents rather than to
follow established ones. This last
innovation is likely to be as severe a
shock to the society leaders among
the ladies at the capital, as was the
