Horticulture and vegetable and fruit
raising are the branches of agriculture
that attract women mostly, though
many of them actually are now sue

general farms. Women who have been
graduated in agricultural or dairy
courses and have energy and common

The richest country in the world in

Belgium long since took up SERIOUSLY
the question of training women, scien-

In England there are a million more

beautiful. fascinating and public spir-

A dozen years ago the countess, then
Lady Brooke, was known as a leading
member of the PRINCE of Wales set,
with apparently no aspirations beyond
social ones. Yet all the while she was

was able to do what she liked. She es-

achieve. The needlework shop was
successful. Lady Warwick herself is

even more attractive than that seen in
other portions of the house. Take, for
instance, the white wicker chairs just
the right height for a small tot and so
prettily upholstered in pink and white
lowered cretonnes. The proper thing
nowadays is to paint the nursery walls
instead of papering them. This allows
them to be washed with a disinfectant
mixture in case the little ones indulge
in the luxury of measles, chickenpox,
and so on through the long, doleful list.
A pretty rose color is nice for a room
where there is not too much sun or
pale blue for one which has decided
southern exposure. Between the point
where the plain wall ends and the cell
ing begins there may be a rather wide
band of figure work, such as the ia
nous procession of comic animals or
Dutch figures. These friezes now come
in thing or in oilcloth, so that they, too,
may be cleaned when necessary. Win
dow boxes are a feature of the up to
date nursery. They are a source of
great amusement and some instruction
to a city bred child. They are usually
filled with hardy growing flowers, al
though know of one case where the
children took great delight in growing
the smaller kinds of vegetables in their
two roomy window boxes, much to the
delight of the cook, who used to sneak
up as often as possible to see how the
vegetables were coming on.
At this time of the year the window
boxes can be made pretty with foliage
plants and later on by evergreens and
tiny Christmas trees.
The main thing to remember about a
nursery is to omit the carpet. There
should be a bare, polished floor, with
rugs, because they can be beaten. but

THE FEMININE SEX
THE SUPERIOR ONE.

and W evolved e evsps one o OF tSe
peaceful industries that orig
inally cut out man from the gorilla and
ourang outang? 1t was woman, nobody
else. Primitive man spent all his days
in hunting and fishing, as the tiger and
shark do today, likewise the males of
surviving savage races. Primitive man,
unimpeded by the care of children,
skipped out and left woman to root for
herself and offspring or starve. Wo-
man fastened branches of trees togeth-
er to shelter her babes. That was the
beginning of architecture. Woman
pulled off the skin of the animal man
had slain, tanned it, divided it with in
finite pains into pieces which were
shaped to the semblance of the human
body, pierced holes in the bits of leath-
er and sewed them together with leath-
er thongs for thread. Thus the tailor
ing, dressmaking and the leather indus
try began.
Woman twisted and braided tender
grass hbers together into mats, cover
ings for the body and awnings for shell
ter. So the textile industry began,
strictly among women, and in the
hands of woman it has mostly remain
ed till within the memory of the pres
ent generation. Woman's Unborn in
stinct for decoration told her that the
grasses would be more beautiful if
stained according to regular patterns
by the juices of plants. So she origi-
mated the art of dyeing.
Woman found that certain grains are
good for food. She gathered these
grains for herself, her children and her
men. Later she learned that it was
wise to plant the seed of the grains and
care for them till the harvest. Man

part in this labor. So woman evolved
the art of agriculture. Next the race
found out by experiment that flesh
tasted better when it was subjected to
the heat of fire. Man was too busy
killing things to roast the game he had
killed. Woman had to do that. So wo-
man was the original cook. Woman
found early that the grains would be
| more palatable and easily chewed if
they were broken into fine bits. She
ground them in a stone mortar and
made the first meal. Thus woman in
vented the art of milling. Woman in
vented the vessels to hold the food
was thus the first potter.
When man had killed off the savage
beasts of the jungle and had killed also
all that he could of his own kind his
restless soul invaded woman's sphere.
He invented and devised machines to
take the place of handwork. And, mark
you, the very moment man took hold
of woman's occupations that moment
began fraud, cheating and cheapening
in every one of her noble, useful indus
tries for the feeding, clothing and shell
tering of the race. Deny it who can!

of farm work, even to currying a horse
Lady Warwick shows her faith in her
own sex by her works. Besides her
other work, she maintains in Essex
technical school for boys and girls and
an asylum for crippled children.
The school farm is called the Brooke
House hostel, and there is not in Eng
land better titled or more productive
rural place, although the women stu
dents do every part of the work, even
to blowing. The students have inva-
riably improved in health and comeli-
ness. Thorough instruction in dairying
and poultry and bee keeping is includ-
ed in the course. Lady Warwick has
become so intensely interested in the
Industrial training of women that she
declares herself quite gone mad" over
it, which calls up the thought that it
is a pity we have not in America one
or two millionaire ladies who are a lit
tie bit mad" in the matter of trying to
help their own sex toward industrial
opportunity.
Already Lady Warwiclx's influence
and her school are bringing about re-
suits. At the famous agricultural fairs
of England products of the women's
school have several times been exhib-
tied, although the institution is only
six years old. Many Englishw omen
the women students work and began
small farming, learning as they went
along. One of these, a market garden
er, now in the third year of her under
taking, clears $1,000 a year from three
and one-half acres.
Lady Warwick herself is one of the
most expert gardeners in Europe. Gar
dening is, in fact, her hobby, as she
herself declares. She is also a daring
and skillful automobilist. She was one
of the most interested attendants on
the recent women's congress at Berlin.
Immediately on her return from the
congress she presided at a meeting to
organize a society to forward the inter
ests of women farmers and gardeners.
Frances Evelyn Warwick's soul is an
eternal bubbling fountain of helpful
ness toward her own sex. Once more
the thought, pity there are not some
millionaire women in America with an
enthusiasm for really helping-not pat
tronizing-workers of their own sexi
