MISS CHAMBERS DAIRY

Miss Margaret Astor Chanler, one Of
the heirs to the Aston millions, has
gone into the dairy business. At her
model dairy at Berrytown- on-the-H ud-
son any fine day will find her super
vising the work Of her employees, and,
as she says herself, she is in the bust
ness to make profit. -. -. =. = -
=" Miss Chanler is direct descendant
of John Jacob Astor, her mother being
Margaret Astor Ward and her grand
mother Emily Astor, daughter of Will
liam B. Aston. The Berrytown estate
comprises some $50 acres, and Miss
Chanler has had constructed what is
said to be the finest model dairy in
the east. She owns $50 mich cows.
The stable is of stone with concrete
flooring and feed troughs. One cannot
enter this immaculate cow barn with
out wearing freshly laundered linen
coats. The milking is done by men who
are required to wear cotton gloves. A
quart bottle of milk from this dairy
sells for IS cents in New York.
II am in the dairy business because
| find it pleasant occupation and be-
cause [ believe there is money to be
made in it, - said Miss Chanler. II
have tried to make my dairy as near
to. the point Of perfection as is posi-
BILE, and not become extrayagant. I
have invented nothing, but I have col
lected the best equipment I could find.
The first thing to attend to in this bust
ness is to insure absolute cleanliness
and perfect sanitation. My. stable is
scrubbed with soap and water once a
day and the walls once week.
I Miss Chanler said that when she first
opened the dairy she had thirty-fve
cows. She found that she could not
make a profit on the quantity Of milk
they gave because Of heavy expenses.
She increased the number Of the herd
and her model dairy farm is now paying
handsome dividends.

DEATH TO THE MOTH

If you already have in mind the moth
and the merry summer heat, remember
that many methods that many women
rely upon for the safe summer keeping
of their winter fneries show ignorance
of the moth and his habits. Woolens
have been bundled up and packed away
in chests full Of tar or carbon or
camphor preparations with the belief
that they would be safe until autumn.
But in this process hundreds Of moth
eggs which, eventually hatch the grubs
have been wrapped in also. These odors
will never kill moth or destroy his
life germs.
Anything saturated with arsenic, or
creosote, or even salt impregnated with
sulphur, the moth or worm will not
touch. The use of these, however, is
dangerous to the colorings of fine tex
lures. It is discouraging indeed when
the housemistress shakes out her gay
garments, packs them painstakingly
into camphor trunk and sets them
away hopefully for the summer to find
that in autumn they are fairly riddled
The trouble is that she watched alto
gether for moths and the moths are
not at all destructive. It is the worm
that is Matched from the egg which
she should have searched for, and as the
egg.is scarcely perceptible to the naked
eye, mere white speck like the point
OF a pin, it is often passed unseen.
It is most difficult to destroy these
enthusiastically tiny eggs and difficult
also to eradicate the moth because of
his secretive habits. A benzine spray
is sure death, but there are many OBJ
jections to it's use and danger from it's
inf1ammable nature. However, if the
ordinary throat spray is filed with ben
zine and the vapor thrown into the
crevices against moth or eggs it will
destroy them. No light should be
brought into a room thus treated until
after it has been thoroly aired and the
odors dissipated.
After a thoro airing Of wooden

cealed moth, for the moth abhors light.

MISS MORRIS HELPS

Those who are skeptical as to
woman s qualifications to take really
active. part in the bitter struggles of
the business world might modify their
views if they got an insight into the
daily life Of Miss Morris, frail young
woman who is private secretary to John
Mitchell, president Of the United Mine
Workers Of America. Her counsel and
advice have helped the rugged mine
workers associated with him over many
an obstacle in negotiations with the coal
barons. Miss Morris duties are not
merely clerical, tho she is an expert
stenographer. She attended almost all
the meetings in the Ashland house,
where the mine workers have been hold
ing their councils of war behind closed
doors. More than one shrewd move
made in the diplomatic struggle had
its origin in the brain Of this little
woman. ~ Miss Morris is the embodi-
ment Of modesty, but the respect in
which she is held by all Mitchell's lieu
tenants permits her to move freely
among them without the slightest feel
ing of embarrassment.
