WOMANS
POINT OF VIEW

There is economy in spending money,
sometimes, like the dollar and a half
that goes TO the seamstress. each week
or TO the twenty cents an hour paid to
professional house cleaners. They mean
saving Of strength and time to the
busy mother Of family of children OF the
business woman. or the one who has tai
enfs that eat up the hours. II is not
economical to try the strength 10 the
breaking point or allow tasks 10 crowd
out all the joy OF existence. and some
extremely sensible women have known
it all their lives.
| know several families where "a seam
stress is employed one day each week all
the year through. She does the family
mendlng and spends whatever time IS LEFT
in cutting and fitting undergarments and
simple waists and skirts or retrimming
bodices- That single day OF each seven
keeps a family in pretty good condition
as regards clothing. and the cost is no
great addition 20 the weekly expenses.
At all events, 1t IS a wise investment
and If pinching IS necessary 70 have this
luxury. pinch cheerfully in any number
of places for it is quite worth while
Some women solve tie problem of good
dressing in easy fashion. The one with
nimble fingers and clever brain 10 di-
rect them has a lay figure exactly like
her own and by the aid Of paper patterns
and the sewing machine dresses stylishIy
on small allowance Another employs
the seamstress one day a week and gets
her simple frocks made cheaply and al
lows herself the extravaganza of one
good gown year made by a swell mo-
diste. She always looks as IL she had
unlimited pocket money and only a IA
vored few know her secrets
A smart woman with plenty OF time at
her disposal can do her own sewing with
out sacrificing either strength or recrea-
ton She can do the work in her little
home too. but such women are not in
the majority. We all have so many inter
ests that we have very little time at our
own disposal. and keeping a home neat
and wholesome is enough for any nor
nal woman. II is not wise TO sacrifice
a talent to do work that can he more cas-
lily done by others at a small cost: it is
scarcely sensible TO attempt TO carry
burdens out Of all proportion to the
strength.
How differently women manage, You

A Baton Rouge special to the

ing:
"The enthusiasm with which
many of the farmers. enter into

manifested in these fairs can be
imagined when 1T is known that
one farmer had a fine exhibit of
his product aud bis wife had
eighty varieties of preserves, jel-
lies, canned fruits. vegetables,
pickles, etc. 1t is hard to realize
that one farm could produce such
a variety, but it simply goes to
show what can be done on Louis
lana soil. There were several
fine exhibits of the same charac-
ter, one other reaching seventy
varieties.
"The cotton crops along the
routes travelled cannot be consid-
cred promising. In East Baton
Rouge. East and West Feliciana.
Avoyelles and Rapides, the leaves
are red, as If scared by winters
approach. and the entire plant
seems to have lost its chance for
a top crop. Through Grant, Red
River and Bossier the appearances
are altogether different, and were
it not for the fact that the crops
showd no white blooms one would
suppose that they were looking at
magnificent crops, but the absence
of blooms on such cotton is un-
mistakable evidence that the boil
weevil has done its work."
