AUNT ELLEN's GRIEVANCE.

The sun sank low across the level
of the swamp and 1 saw Aunt Ellen
turn in at the gate and trudge up the
avenue. As she shuf1ed a courtesy,
and dropped down on the topmost
step, in response to my invitation, |
perceived that something out of the
ordinary had banished the usual ex-
pansive grin from the broad yellow
face under the gay hued turban. 1t
was gravity itself. I waited.

"Not any better, Aunt Ellen. Now

"You know we needed that shovel,

MAKING MONEY AT HOME.

AS there are great many women
who, while not actually obliged to go
out into the world as bread-winners,
find it necessary to supplement a
scant income by turning to practical
account such skill as they may pos
sess, these are always glad of sug-
gestions that will make it possible at
home, and not, indeed, for mere pin
money.
Of course, the home industries that
must first be studied and practical un-
der trained teachers, such as the beau-
tiful new basket work, the Abnakee
rug weaving and the like, commend
themselve because of the excellent
remuneration but there are many
handicrafts that women learn from
each other quickly, not requiring to
attend classes for instruction, and
among the most profitable is lace
making.
A friend may spend an hour with
another friend and learn from her
how to make table centre of Batten-
berg, Renaissance, Venetian, Point,
Honiton or some other of the pre-
vailing braid laces, and by skill and
industry may make one in the spare
hours of couple of weeks or so that
will bring from IS to SIS, according
to size, workmanship and quality of
materials used.
Table centres of drawn work bring
from SIS to SIS, drawn work pin cush-
ions from 81 to $5, and ones in Bat
tenberg only little less.
These squares and round pieces are
used especially on handsome bare
tables between meals, even more now
than during the past, and have come
to almost supersede the embroidered
ones, also the doylies.
But table embroideries have not
"gone OUT by any means-it is one
of the very oldest arts, this, and only
changes in its expression. These
will always repay the worker whose
actual livelihood does not depend
upon it, especially if by showing a
sample of her work at the exchanges
can secure orders for them.
Not every one can do nice hem
stitching, and those who can may
also get orders for hemstitching table
cloths, napkins, tray cloths, sideboard
scarfs, towels, sheets and pillows.
Bnt most frequently the gentle
woman who seeks to add to very
restricted income by home industries
wishes to do only such work as may
be executed and sent to the place of
sale in an unnoticed way, and this is
easily done by making all sorts of
those small, dainty articles that mod
ern living has evolved as necessities,
and conhning herself to those which
sell quickest and most proftably.
of bags, pin cushions or little sacques
over and over again till staple de-
mand is made for their speciality,
finding that it pays better to make
the same article in large numbers,
after the demand is made, than taking
chances on a varied assortment.
One girl who used her brush with
water colors remarkably we'll made
fine little income doing dinner cards,
copying Gibson girls with the consent
of the artist, until the publishers IS
sued ban on all reproductions.
A clever girl can decorate tally
cards proftably--the are such stacks
of them matchmaking sketchy heads
in various studies of the whist wo-
man."

THE COLLEGE GIRL AND MARRIAGE.

There is undoubtedly much to be
said in favor of college education for
women, but there is also something
to be said againt it. Very indirectly,
of course, but not the less surely,
higher education for women is blow
at the home. The college girl for
four years has mighty pretty time
Of it. III girls colleges or co-educa-
tional institutions she is a young
queen. The institution is managed
solely in her interest; she is great
factor in its social life. Is 1T any won
der that she gets high idea of her
self and her mission in the world?
In college she meets the best minds
of today and of the old days. She
hobnobs Familiarity with Horace she
is taught that Macauley was poor
chap when it came to writing and
thinking. She could show Shelley
his mistakes as poet, and can tell
why Froude should not be taken too
seriously as a historian. Is it any
wonder that she gets high opinion
of herself? Is it any wonder that she
has no very correct conception of
value?
Shall she, one of the elect, marry
a plain man who has never read
"Quis multa gracilis ?" Shall she,
this young Diana Minerva, go into re-
tirement and teach an ordinary baby
to say "boo?" Can one blame her
much if, with her ideas, she hangs
back? And that she does hang back
statistics and your own experience
will prove to you.
The question is whether it is not
possible to keep to higher education
for women without driving them away
from their duties as mere members of
social organization. One way would
be to shorten the term required for
graduation. Another way seems to
be to urge on all woman as strongly
as possible the necessity Of seeing life
whole, and to show them that knowl-
edge and business are not always the
same thing. But the best way of all
would be to combine more common
sense education with the so-called
"higher." If girls were taught that
to know how to do the many little
things that make family happier is
better than being able to draw dia-
gram of the interior of cat, "high-
er" education would be more to the
purpose. 1t is important to impress
on these girl graduates the fact that
a woman who raises family is great
er than she who taketh city W0-
mans Home Companion.

threshing and the maturing of late crops.
Harvesting continues and the yield of
hay and grain is reported to be highly
satisfactory.
Potatoes are reported to be looking
well and promise a good yield.
Fall apples are coloring nicely and a
good crop Is in sight.
Threshing has commenced in the wes-

rado river, is sixteen miles long and at
the mill the elevation is 1900 feet below
the terminus at the mine. The maximum
grade is 5.35 per cent. The loaded train
runs dow by gravity and the fact that
the climb is maintained with empty GERS
makes the return trip easy. Each re-
turning train takes up a fiat car of wa
