Turkey Queen of Texas.

Miss Anita Martin is known
throughout Texas as the "turkey
queen" on account Of the many tur
icys which she has raised on her
anch IN that state. So great has
ieen the increase in Miss Martins
business since she started with four
lrkeys five years since that she now
mpl ys two women and boy to
help her take care of her 100 birds.
Hiss Martin sells the turkeys
10 regular customers, and claims to
AVE cleared So, 500 this year. The
most expensive birds are those
which feed on nuts and other fancy
hods, which render their flesh
Iweeter and more palatahle. All the
Eggs are Matched by incubators, and
he food which the turkeys eat is
.rown on the ranch, thus saving
much expense. Miss Martin heartily
'ecommepds women to enter the tur.

many people Of wealth undertook tc
have Sunday school for the children
OF these persons, because there was
some objection made to regular Sunday
school on the ground that it was oiled
with poor children from the tene
ments. But II was discovered that
there were In the whole parish only
Twenty-Five children of Sunday school
age from homes Of wealth, and FIVE OF
these were In one family. Family life
suffers intellectually from limitation OF
Its numbers. The maternal instinc,
even in wife who believes she lacks
1t, Is restless force that lea to many
dangerous quests and Is often. respon.
sible for conjugal alienation.
but not only Is the natural hunger
OF woman's nature satisfied by chill
dren. In taking care of them she has
a soothing and engrossing occupation IL
she will be truly a mother. Moreover,
when strain comes between husband
and herself she Is strong In the
strength OF her children. Their com.
partnership and their inspiration help
her to stand firm and to be patient and
without authority or love to do what
she considers her duty."-Rev. Percy

A Small Waist Beautiful.


Now OF course | am expected TO say
that a small waist is ugly, but on the
contrary | think that small waist is
beautiful, writes Ethelwyn Wetherald
In Good housekeeping. Not unnatural
ly small. not grotesquely and ridicu-
lously small, as those Of fashion plates
always are. but with the natural small.
ness OF an erect, healthy, full-chested
woman. To attain beautiful, natural
slenderness one needs not to compress
the waist but to develop the shoulders
and chest and to restrain and direct
the appetite, so that the stomach is not
filled with indigestible food which
bloats and distends the waist. A little
bag of bones" with a twenty-inch
waist Is a revolving spectacle; the same
bag of bones f1attened out into the
similitude of bedslat Is only a little
less repellent; huge woman who can
with difficulty achieve any waist at all
Is not attractlve; but the firm-feshed
girl with strong arms. solid shoulders,
full chest, and twenty-six inch waist
has a magnificent figure admired by
men and women. If she marries she
will have healthy children; II she re-
mains unmarried she is abundantly
able to take care of herself Her motto
Is not "Health before beauty" but
Health and beauty before ruinous
fashions"

GIRLS.

l00 or long ngo in this department
| JNI the question OF manners was
touched upon, the suggestions re-
lnting to the manners of the girls them
selves. There Is another side that still
deserves mention. This Is that young
women should be exacting In the mat
ter OF the manners OF the young men
who are their companions. Little lapses
OF manner should not go unrebuked.
In nm article in one Of the magazines
last winter the story was told of a
French princess rebuke Of the rude
playfulness of distinguished writer
He was guest In the drawing room of
the princess, and was enjoying n chat
with her when another gentleman
Joined the group. go way, you big
jealous person." said the first conner,
I've don't want you" The princess in
stantly resented and rebuked the IA
mlliarity. She rang for u servant, and
ON bis appearance, said, gravely: OR
der VI. About's carriage. He does not
dine here tonight" and NJ. About had
nothing to do but make his adieux and
pass out dinnerless and mortified. 1t
IL admitted that this rebuke was al.
most too radical, but the incident will
serve to emphasize the care all women.
and particularly young women, should
take to repress undue familiarity on the
part Of young men.
or course II Is conceded that the girl
requires little courage sometimes, and
the young woman breads to give Of
Tense or to have herself dubbed
naughty, but this should not deter her
from holding her associates of the other
sex to the standard Of manners which
she should set high. Some young men
have an abominable practice of touch
Ing young woman unwarrantably;
they will take her arm on the street
to help her over gutter or up stair
when there Is not the least need for the
assistance. 1t is only exceptionally ex-
pected nowadays that man need offer
his arm to lady with whom he is
walking at night At dance not long
ago young girl seated herself, fol-
lowing a waltz, In large armchair,
whereupon her partner perched himself
on the arm. Instantly the girl rose. and
not daring to say anything. rebuked
him by her look. The young man also
quickly stood up and begged her par
don. 1t is safe to say that his manners
will never be lax in the presence of that
girl again. Another girl at the same
dance was noticed permitting her part
ner to fan her with her fan, which was
attached to her belt by rather short
ribbon. She should have detached her
fan and handed 1t to him outright.
There Is not space in the limits of this
paragraph to multiply instances, only
to sum up, girls, that your manners
should not only be dignified In them.
selves, but command dignity from
those around you. Many young men
err through ignorance, and will be
grateful II they are the right kind of
young men, for little lessons given with
a deadly courtesy that Is yet unmistak.

An English Journalist, writing about
what he calls the Amerlcanizatlon OF
the world" gives full credit to the
work OF American women In this dlrec-
| ton. He quotes remark which the
late Lord Dufferln made some twenty
years ago: Few people have any idea
of the extent to which the diplomatic
service is Americanlzed by the lnfiu-
ence Of marriage. Nearly oil the att
taches Of the various embassies at
Washington are captured before their
term Of office expires by American
beauties and American heiresses. The
result Is that the diplomatic service,
the only service which Is really cosmo-
politan, Is Americanized through and
through" 70 show that our women
are doing corresponding work in the
field of business and finance, the En-
glish Journalist quotes Partisan edi-
tor who has advanced an interesting
theory, that through American mar
riages the titled houses of Europe are
postponing for n time the downfalli
which must follow the invasion Of
Yankee trade and democratic ideas.
Thus the daughters and sisters, by
means Of the millions earned by the
fathers and brothers, are temporarily
preserving state Of affairs which
those very millions have doomed. In
ternati0nal marriages have heretofore
been subject rather Of impertlnent
lest than of grave conSidera ton on
broad economic grounds. Contrary to
the general impression regarding these
marriages, they are usually happy, and
few Of them are brought about by
mercenary considerations. Moreover,
to think Of the American girl who mar
ries abroad as an agent in the "Amerl-
cnnlzing of the world" gives her an i'm
portance which her brothers seldom at
tain.

Food for Young Children.

to begin feeding their children solid

NJ. d., in Good Housekeeping. For a
child under Ia months 1t Is much the

all. 1t is true that many children seem
to he able to digest solid food at an
early age, but 1t is also true that giving
1t at this period Is frequently RESPONSE
