Things Dainty For Dainty Women.

By RENE DEvERAUx.

Truly there Is nothing so bewildering,
distracting, maddening. as New York
shopping during the last few days be-
fore Christmas. In the large shops and
ON the avenue the crowds are little
short of frenZied mobs, good natured,
to be sure. though one can scarcely
fancy any one really enjoying the crush
and excitement.
The New York woman who pushes
her way as she makes her purchases
thinks longingly of the sister down
south, perhaps. whose list she is filling,
or of the cousin or aunt in nearby
town. who orders by mail, to have just
what she wants arrive In the nicl; Of
time neatly packed and delivered ut her
door, without the fatigue of n tedious
selection.
That shopping crowds are admirably
taken care of in the well ordered de-
partment stores here cannot re denied,
however. and the systematic arrange
ment Of the various departments In
which things closely allied are display
ed. each price-marked, undoubtedly
simplfies the shoppers perplexties ex-
traordinarily.
To leave the general holiday crush
for moment to peep into the boxes OF
exquistely made lingerie is pleasure

E. H. Webster of the dairy division of
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
said, in the course of an interesting talk.
that while creameries should get all
the legitimate over-run they can, to
overdo this is great mistake. Surplus
moisture is to be avoided. The federal
government is making constant effort to
work out new and better methods In
dairy practice, one particular field for
experiment having been in relation to
the keeping qualities of butter and
cheese. The consumption OF butter Ia
on the increase, and not enough is be.
ing produced. Not enough cheese Is
eaten, and five or six times as much
ought to be consumed. The small
amount may be due to the quality pro-
duced. Good butter Is the best weapon
to fight oleomargariue with. II poor
butter is produced, 1t places the weapon
in the hands of the oleomargarine
manufacturers. What the Department
of Agriculture is able to do for the dairy
interests depends on the assistance 1t
gets from the dairymen.

were curious concerning her "errand
Of the previous evening and who pre-,
tended to believe that she had gone
to a dance or time" with some "feller''
unknown, she gave evasive but good
humOred replies. Captain Fri was on
his usual fishing trip. and after break
fast was over Perez departed to the
Barry place and Jerry to his beloved
schoolhouse. The sacrifice, whose I'M
pending matrimonial doom had not
been mentioned for some time by the
trio interested, was gradually becom-
ing his own garrulous self, and his
principal topic Of conversation recently
had been the coming marriage of the
upstairs teacher"-that Is. the lady
who presided over the grammar grade
Of the schOol-and the question of her
probable successor. In fact. this ques.
ton Of who the new teacher was to be
was the prevailing subject Of surmise
and conjecture in the village just then.
When Captain Jerry came back to
the house he went out to the barn to
feed Lorenzo and the hens and attend
to Daniels toilet. He was busy with
the currycomb when Elsie came in.
Captain Jerry" she said, you have
never told me just where you found
grandfather that night when he was
taken sick. On the hill back of the

"Yes, jest on the top. You see, he'd

He began the story Of his friends
observation-disclosures, but his companion
did not seem to pay much attention to
It. She went into the house soon after
and Captain Jerry, after considering
the matter, decided that she was prob
ably thinking Of HaZeitine. He de-
rived much comfort from the idea.
When he, too. entered the dining
room Elsie said to him:
"Oh, Captain Jerry! Please don't
tell the others that l asked about
grandfather. They would think that
was worrying, and I'm not, bit. You
won't mention it, will you? Just prom
ise, to please me-"
So the captain promised. although he
did not understand why it was asked
Of him.

II doubt If Mr.. Langley would be
happy anywhere else, and the other
men are married, most Of them. and
live over In the village"
Now there isn't any real reason why
Ills simple remark should have caused
halt in the conversation, but 1t did.
Miss Preston said, "Oh, indeed" rather
hurriedly, and her next speech was
concerning the height Of particularly
big wave. Mr.. Hazeltine answered
this commonplace somewhat absent
mindedly. He acted like man to
whom a startling idea had suddenly
occurred. Just then they heard Cap
tain Fri calling them.
The captain was standing on sand
dune near the station, shouting their
names through a speaking trumpet
formed by placing his hands about his
mouth. AS the pair came strolling
toward him he shifted his hands to his
trousers pockets and stood watching
the Young couple with a sort OF half
smile.
81 s'pose If Jerry was here now." he
unused, "he'd think his scheme was
workin'. Well, maybe tits. maybe It's.
You can't never tell. Well, swami"
The exclamation was called forth by
the sight of Captain Perez and Miss
Patience, who suddenly came into view
around the corner Of the station. The
captain was CALAMITY assisting his
companion over the rough places In the
path, and she was leaning upon his
arm in a manner that implied Implicit
confidence. Captain Fri glanced from
one couple to the other, and then
grinned broadly. The grin had not en-
tirely disappeared when Captain Perez
came up. and the latter rather crisply
asked what the joke was.
"Oh, nothin'w was the reply. Il was
lest thinkin' we must be playin' some
kind Of game, and was It."

zled.
"Why, YES. I'm kinder like 'Rastus

Then he'd set OH the settee all through

for Hull's vict'ry anyway. Seems 70
me I'm the only one that amt choosed

More fool you, that's all I've got to
say" replied Captain Perez stoutly.
Miss Patience laughed 30 heartily at
this rejolnder that Perez began to think
he had said very good thing indeed
and so repeated 1t for greater effect.
"You want to look out for him, MISS
Davis" said Captain Err. Hes the
most fascinatin' youngster OF his age

house to keep the girls away when he's

was necessary. "M'lissy Busteed"

Systematic Work With Moth Pests

Readers of the New England Home
stead have been kept closely in touch
with the brown-tail and gypsy moth
infestations, by frequent references in
these columns to the progress being
made. The situation, particularly in
Massachusetts,, is very we'll brought
down to date by the address of Prof.
A. H. Kirkland, superintendent of the
moth commission, at the annual meet
ing of the Massachusetts, association
for the suppression of the gypsy and
brown-tail moths. In part he said;
''In January, 1900, there were 359 square
miles of territory infested, which is
known as the zone of old infestatiOD.
In the past five years the gypsy moths
have multiplied sixfold and to-day there
are l2O cities and towns in eastern
Massachusetts more or less infested, the
area represented in the total infesta.
ton being roughly about one-quarter OF
the state.
practically all cities and towns are
now organized under local superin-
tendent, who is response BILE for the con.
dition of the territory under him. Az
the brown-tail moths are now spreading
from New Brunswick to Connecticut, it
has seemed unwise to me at this time to
devote large sums to the care OF this
species except in the residential sections
and to keep the parks, street shade
trees, etc., clear. Rather, we have de.
voted most Of our time to tho more
troublesome gypsy moth, as 1t is most
important to stop its spread at once. II
cannot be said what success the impor-
tation of the parasites will meet, and II
will probably be five years before their
value can be we'll established. There is
q most disquieting outlook in regard to
the woodlands of the state, for of the
$4,000 acres of infested woodland, IA, 600
are badly infested. We can hardly hope
to keep the streets and orchards clean
where the woods are 80 infested, and
that forms the disquieting feature OF the
task. New England Homestead.
