Mrs. Margaret Armer.
Re AnSora Queen

The number of things a woman cam not do in the industrial world is be- coming less year by year. woman has proved she can run a farm. print ing office ora blacksmith shop. In New Mexico. under conditions as dis couraging as possible to the agricuf- turist, another woman. Mrs. Margaret Armer, has not only made living for herself and six children, but actually become wealthy through the rearing of Angora goats.
 Mrs. Armer Is not very old yet, but she has brought the Angora goat en- terprise through the experimental stage to that of an established business. It is an industry growing in value and importance. few weeks ago 149 pure blooded Angoras. valued at $40.000. were brought into this country from South Africa. It Is claimed that they thrive there quite as we'll as in their native cline in Asia Minor. No more of the animals can now be got from South Africa. for the British govern- ment has forbidden the exportation of live stock from the colonies. It is all needed at home.
 The Angora goat is pretty creature with hair eight inches long hanging in curling ringlets down its sides. It's legs are covered also with the thick, shining hair. From 1t the firm textitc fabric called monair, now so popular, is made. A strong wool furniture plush. called mohair plush, is also made from the Angora goats fleece. Of recent years a demand has arisen In the Uni ted States for goats milk for the use of children and invalids. a demand which is steadily increasing and one that the supply cannot begin to meet.
 The milk of the Angora is preferred to that .of other goats, being milder and more palatable, As to Angora flesh. that of the kid is considered equal to lamb. while It Is told sub rosa that the meat of the fun grown goat Is bought and sold as mutton. There Is q growing market for the milk and flesh of the goat. The Angora Is thus far found to be the breed that fills these requirements and bears an exceeding ly valuable fleece besides. Finally. never since the world began has there been an agency for clearing the s9l of any region of the earth from weeds, brush and scrub growth equal to a small flock of healthy goats. Rough land is precisely what they thrive on.
 In our rapidly and radically changing industrial conditions women must more and more take, their places as bread

some departments of the live stock business are even more important l.an the great matters. As fast as she could get money Mrs. Armer bought full blooded Angoras. thus improving her flock. The lustrous mohair fieeces presently became the most valuable part of her product. fs4.fe
 Mrs. Armer informed harself in all ways concerning Angora goat rearing. She bought ,norey and more land and put more Angoras upon 1t. Now her ranch includes several thousand acres. The estate is called Silver rip. The human "kids' have been comfortably reared and educated from the products of the goat kids. Mrs. Armer has a beautiful home, which she built as soon as she could afford 1t. This house Is 11.ooo feet above the sea level. It has been about twelve years since she be- gan her enterprise.
 The real live stock enthusiast is not content with the mere training of ani- mals and selling them for money. It IS With him matter of pride and pub lic spirit to improve the live stock of country. Mrs. Armer possesses the spirit of the really alive stock man Her animals as they improved were entered for competition at the agricultural fairs.
 The Angora goat industry is increas- ing. especially in the southwest, and some time ago a goat show was held at Kansas City. There 2 one ds Mrs. Armer's exhibits won the first prize. After taking premiums at various oth- er affairs. Mrs Armer gathered num- Der of her best goats and entered them for competition at the worlds exposf- tion at St. Louis. They are among the finest Angoras ever seen in America. MARILLA WEAVER.

 It is to the girl who laughs that man is drawn at all times. Be she his friend, sweetheart or wife. he finds her company acting as a tonic on his state of mind and constitution. She seems to have a fund of merriment and humor which drives away all care and lightens the hea siest burdens.
 A woman Without a sense of humor would probably melt into tears if con- fronted with an emergency that had in 1t spice of danger as we'll as much that was disagreeable On the other hand. a girl who laughs would. so soon as she got used to things and had fe- covered from her first panic. probably almost enjoy the situation by reason of its humorous possibilities. The dif-
 ference between the two types of women, of course, lies in the fact that the woman with the sense of humor would gladly make light of difficul- ties by poking fun at herself, while the other would make herself and ev- cry one else miserable with self pity.

Another sea son, Mrs. Margaret Armer. however, she will have machine shearer worked by steam. Her hocks have become too great for hand shear ing. ,
 Even a wealthy woman would find healthfuI employment in the keeping or A flock of these fine creatures. It was not for recreation, however, that Mar saret Armer took up this industry at Kingston, Sierra county, N M. In that region goats are kept for their milk because they thrive better than cows and need less water. In some parts there seems to be not water enough TOT the milkman to mix with his cows product. Mrs. Armer had six children and she and her husband kept goats to furnish this numerous and interesting femily with milk and meat. Her nus band was a miner and they lived at q place called Saw Pit Gulch.
 At length Mir -Armcr died. There Margaret Arr1er was, then, a widow with no possessions beyond two hocks' one of goats, the other of children--a big flock of children as children go, very small flock of goats as goats go. i It was not a cheerful outlook.
 | But long ago it was said, ITO him l who wills ways will not be wanting, ! only it ought to be written 'her" in stead of him" to fit Margaret Armer. If you look at her picture you will see | that she has fine strong chin and steady clear looking eyes through l which shines splendid common sense. She counted the goats and children and took account of stock. The goats had maintained her family in meat and
 milk Why could they not be made to furnish meat and milk for other people Mrs. Armer determinel to make the experiment. If you look at her face in the little picture again you will see that 1t glows with a quiet energy that
 does not fuss and sputter, but moves
 on dead sure to the end the capable
 brain has marked out. When she be-
 gan her enterprise 1t Is told that a neighbor miner said, The widdy has two kinds of kids, and she says she'll

 Mrs. Armer sold goats milk and l cheese. She did not sell many kids be- cause she wished to keep them to en- large her flock. She increased the An gora strain in her goats as rapidly as possible because the mohair fleece was becoming more valuable. Mrs. Armer l also took great care of the Angora
 kids. Any kid is so stupid that 1t does not know its own mother, and Ango-
 ras are rather more delicate and diff- cult to rear than the offsrping of just
 a plain goat. Mrs. Armer attended per
 sonally to the very small details which women. do not overlook and which in

The Chiffon Veil.

It Is no use banishing the chiffon veil. It Is going to be worn this sum- mer as much as ever. Nothing sof- tens better the trim little sailor hat. the three cornered hat or even the envelope shape which is so smart You will see the latter in the sketch worn with a pongee driving or motor- ing coat.
 The hat Is made ot pure white straw turned up at the side and over on to the crown something like leaf of an apple turnover. The space around the crown Is simply filled in with white chiffon carclessly knotted. The coat is Of the heavier make of pongee known as gold cloth It is trimmed with taffeta. on which are appliaued curved patterings of narrow black and white braids. The long effect is given to the shoulders by the extended sleeve cap effect. under which the fun shirred sleeve appears. The coat Is further enriched by ap- pliqued taffeta bands of the same. col or as the pongee. only more lustrous. The fullness of the ungored back Is held loosely into a half belt. A coat of this description Is useful for the races and for dinner in the evening. not to speak of driving and the fact that 1t covers a multitude of defects in the costume during the trying warm months.
