JENNIE ACTON.
A Country Boy on Country Life.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-As you invite
those who appreciate the Chat to
write, I want to say I appreciate it
very much, and wish I could contri-
butte something of interest. Farm
boys do not WELD a pen very grace
fully, and do not find much time at
this season of the year for writing.
But after all, I reckon we get az
much real JOY out of life as our city
cousins. Oh, what fun to ramble
through field and forest till mid
night 'possum hunting, and, before
you feel like you have been in bed
half a n hour, have clad" yelling "get
up"
Sometimes we are cast down and
lonely; sometimes we think it is a
cruel fate that keeps us toiling from
early dawn till dark. But our de-
spondency is soon borne away on the
bosom of the wind and we are ready
to say:
We envy not the princely man
In city or in town,
Who wonders whether pumpkin vines
Turn up the hill or down.
We care not for his marble halls,
Nor yet his heaps of gold;
We would not own his sordid heart
For all his wealth twice told.
We are the favored ones of earth,
We breathe pure air each morn;
We sow, we reap, the golden grain,
We gather in the corn.
The world may never call us "pol-
ished" or gentlemen" but maybe we

and a third fell over in a dead faint.
I was frightened not so much at the
figure in white as at the possible
consequences of disturbing every
body in the building. Lilly, the
ghost, perceiving the havoc, dropped
her mask and sheet and bravely came

was lonely and homesick. LIS room
was next to mine. It was about nine
at night and I was trying to read
when, my window being open, sud
denly and mysteriously in flew a pill
low from outer space. I supposed
that all the girls we're in the chapel
studying, but I ran to the window
and called Lilly, believing she was
the guilty one. She had intended to
brighten me, but it was then her turn
to get frightened. Before her name
had hardly escaped my lips, she be-
gan begging me to hush, and I saw
that she had walked out on top of
the porch some distance from the
window and thrown the pillow at me
from there. Well, it cheered me,
and did no harm, but as it landed be-
yond the lamp from the window I
shuddered afterward at what might
have been a serious prank. [ "cross-

Some Schoolgirl Franks.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-The large fe-
male institutions have again thrown
their doors open for the reception
of students, and how I wish that I
could enter as one! Alas, "the mill
will never grind with the water that
has passed." I had a fine time in
school. My lessons were usually
right good, but my bad time came on
examination for my memory was
treacherous as to books. But I am
reminded of the july times we had,
cheering the homesick girls with in
nocent pranks. For instance, one
especially blue night, four of us girls
got permission to sit up and "work
examples" Well, we had been at
work some time Git was after eleven
o'clock and all were supposed to be
asleep on our foor) when the door to
the room swung noiselessly open and
we beheld one of the most hideous
faces it is possible to imagine, and
the figure was clad in pure white!
When we looked up, there sheer it
stood with arm extended toward
us. One girl few over the stove and
landed in the middle of the bed be-
yond it; another hid under the bed,

Aunt Jennie's Letter.

Did you ever feel that you must
talk when you really had nothing of
interest to relate? Well, that is just
my idea of myself this morning.
However, as the season is advancing
when ill the little folks must wear
shoes and stockings, I will tell the
mother, some short cuts in mending
those holes that persist in appearing
in the knees and heels. Basic a
piece of net over the hole inside the
stocking and far enough over the
edges to insure strength, then darn
back and forth through this netting
until all is covered. 1t not only
wears better than ordinary darning
but keeps the stocking in better
shape. If the stockings are black
and the netting white, color it by
dipping it in ink or black dye. L
have seen them mended by filing in
with a crochet-hook, using a rather
loose stitch, but many persons knit
a strip to fill the hole after ~raveling
back until they can catch a sufficient
number of stitches, then sew the new
strip down firmly all around the
opening. This method is best for
boys who are fond of playing la
bles and whose knees are out long
before the rest of the stocking is
much worn. One mother I know and
whose children look neat and we'll
~cared-for, cuts pieces from old stock
ings like those she intends to mend,
andpE5s the Piec inside the stock
ing and darns the edges down nicely
on the outside.
Our letters this week are interest
ing, but we would like also to hear
from Margaret. Silly Sue, Maybelle,
Chatting Joe, S. W. Garner, Mrs. H.
A. c., and Mrs. J. F. r. Please don't
wait to be called, as I am always glad

AUNT JENNIE.
A Defender of the Girls.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-I never like
to come out against a mans belief,
but our young friend Horton has
said some things about our girls that
are hard for me to believe. Now
what I shall attempt to say, is said
with all respect to the opinions of
others, and I hope that you will bear
in mind that what 7 say is only my
opinion.
The first thing that our girls are
accused of is nonsense. I can't ina
iine what the girls could find to say
about Shakespeare, if they should
spend their time in talking about
him. On the contrary of nonsense
the girls of our section seem to me to
be very sensible and use much good
Judgment. Sometimes I enter their
homes and find them busily engaged
in homework, and their homes are
made very attractive by the pretty
little additions of flowers, wall-pock-
cts, and everything kept to its place.
Again, we meet socially. Here they
are jolly, but always find more pleas
ure in sensible topics, music and
games, than IN slang.
And one thing that assures me
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1902-10-07

that they are not filled with nonsense,
is their love for the church. Our
church, here in the country, has
lately been painted, floor carpeted
and a new pulpit added, and most of
this was made possible by the girls
working up a play and making the
money.
Again, our girls are accused of
being vain. Our young friend cries
out call is vanityw and looks to the
future to see purer and better girls.
I feel sure that the girls are getting
better. More of them are getting to
be educated. Nearly every girl in
our neighborhood has the advantage
of a college education, and surely if
education means anything, it shows
the girls that God has a purpose in
this world, and it is their duty to
follow this purpose; it teaches them
that life is more than nonsense and
vanity, and gives them some idea of
the value of a true woman. I must
believe that our girls are coming to
see more and more each day what life
means, and they are striving to make
the most of it. One said to me only
a short time ago, "Our lives are too
short to be filed with quarrels and
fuses, but should be spent in max
ing ourselves and others happy"
Aunt Jennie, it does pain me to
have u girls called insincere. It
is true that I am young, but [ have
studied the girls some. I started at
one so near as a sister and studied
her as a sister, and hen in studying
other girls I have thought of them
as other brothers sisters.
I reach this conclusion, that if our
"young lad of nineteen" would OBJ
serve very closely his sister (if he
has one), then the other girls, remem-
boring that they have brothers, that
he would reach the conclusion that
the girls are better than he seems to
think them.
And let me add that if he can't
find one in his county to suit him, to
come to mine.
