HE ought to be enough in sympathy

I heard a woman say once complain
ing that her husband was frequently
melancholy when she wanted to be
gay, and light-hearted when she felt
serious.
Apparently it never occurred to that
woman that her husband might think
she ought to be enough in sympathy
with him to fall in with his moods

fear that the answer is in the fact
that somewhere in either persons con-
duct there is a lack of good breeding.
Just because person is married is
certainly no excuse for neglect of the
ordinary social customs. Indeed, a
lapse of good manners in the behavior
70 married people always fills me with
disappointment and dread for the years
| in the far-away future.
| It is the first step that counts. Never
let yourself forget that you owe to
your husband a consideration and po-
likeness equal to, if not surprising.
that given to others; check your first
I impulse to answer him rudely; think
| twice before you act once when a wish
to be impolite arises.
There are many little rocks upon
which the happiness Of married life
comes to grief. First, there is the
question of letters. Now, a letter which
your husband receives belongs to two
persons; to him and to the writer. His
marriage has nothing to do with this,
and the conventional understanding
must not be undermined by a wife
reading her husbands correspondence
when the fancy strikes her. This rum
maging propensity is ill bred. The wife
who complains that her husband never
tells her anything will never win his
asked.
Frequently there is an exchange OF
condolences in the first weeks of mar
ried life in which every memory, every
past love affair and all friends and rel
atives are discussed. And frequently
these easily made condolences are re-
turned under the guise of chastise-
ments in moments of irritation. A suf-
ficient amount of reserve is lacking in
this mode of action, and reserve is the
sign Of good breeding. Every little
thing should not be told to the hus-
band or wife. Remember that an ac-.
count of past affairs involves the other
person.
Bad temper is an evidence of bad
manners in an aggravated form. Mar
ried people should exercise self control
just as carefully as those in single
bIessedness.
In closing, let me urge that polite
ness be emphasized in married life
with the same care that occurs in the
days before. A pardon should be
asked of ones husband just as quick
ly as of the grocer; an entrance to his
dressing room should be preceded by
a knock just as surely as that to a
guests room.
The great wheels of married life
will move infinitely more smoothly if
urbanity be the guiding thought Be
polite, even to your husband! Consid
er his feelings and his opinions as
carefully as you do those of his
nephew. Let there be an amiable man.
ner at breakfast when alone with him
as we'll as at dinner when guests are
present. Never allow the familiarity
of married life to breed a contempt for
good manners.

Letter

NEW YORK, Nov. 24-It is during
these nipping, frosty, crisp days that
women turn to furs. 1t is not alone
for the comfort they bring, but for
their elegance, the sumptuousness
they give to a toilette A little bit of
fur goes further toward making a cos
tune thing Of beauty than any other
form of trimming.
This season much fur will be seen
on the street as we'll as on the coat
and tiny narrow bands are being
worn on evening dresses, while a band
of fur outlining the train of a dinner
gown is most effective. Many of the
one-piece gowns are heavy enough for
wear without a coat and are made
appropriate to the season by the ad-
dition of fur trimmings; on very cold
days an extra wrap trimmed may
be worn. A costume carrying out the
same idea had a coat of the new seal
skin with a band of the same on the
skirt and the hat was partially trim
med with it.
1t is not alone the costume that is
decorated with fur. but in millinery
it has never been used to a greater
degree or better results as some of
the shapes, the turbans for instance,
are entirely of fIlr with LITTLE or M
trimming, and that little consisting OF
a knot or rosette of velvet or an or
nament made of gold or silver braid
or with a long aigrette or streame1
of marabocet or coque feathers
Again the hat may be of velvet with
a deep band of fur and a head or tai
or an ornament, or narrow bits of ful
may be used on the band and huge

forces a new and rapid growth.
The present is a good time for SOW
ing the new alfalfa field The late
rains have left the soil in good shape
for blowing, and if the seed is got in
early in the season the young plants
will be we'll rooted before the hot, DIR,
weather of spring overtakes us, and
will be sufficiently we'll established to
protect themselves against the hard
ships of the coming summer. Whether
it is best to use a nurse crop or not, is
an open question. Many of our most
successful alfalfa farmers sow the seed
with a light crop of barley, claiming
that the barley will protect the young
alfalfa until it gets well rooted and
is BENEFICIAL to it. On the other hand,
others claim that the alfalfa should
have the whole ground and that any
other crop grown with it is a positive
detriment instead of an assistance.
Probably in most cases the latter is
tru, and as a rule alfalfa should be
sown alone and sown as early in the
fall as the ground can be prepared for
it before the heavy winter rains set in.
Alfalfa is king of the forage plants,
it yields more heavily than any other,
is more easily cultivated, needs less
attention, and is eaten more generally
by stock than any other Cattle, horses
and hogs will thrive on alfalfa alone,
while chickens eat it with avidity.
There need be no fear of overstocking
the market, as the demand for it is
steadily increasing and it's methods of
use widening The introduction of
alfalfa meal has opened a new field Of
usefulness for it. If, in connection
with it, one has a good dairy herd, he
is assured of an independence which
is more secure than in any other pur-
suit we know of.

Five girls in my personal acquain-
lance have been married during the
past month And as that probably
means at least five thousand in my
newspaper acquaintance l am going to
make today's Chit-C just a little
talk to all those girls who have passed
through the portals of marriage and
are just entering upon one of the
hardest years of their lives.
''Hardest?" 1 hear those 5000 brides
echo Indignantly. You mean hap
piest"
Yes, perhaps do mean happiest too,
but 1 also mean hardest.
And 1 think I'll add most important.
For this is the year of adjustments
and according as you-and the man
manage it's adjustments, meet it's cris-
es, fulfill it's obligations and solve it's
difficulties you lay the foundation for
happy or unhappy married life.
All of us know that the brother and
sister who have been brought up in
the same house, with more or less the
same habits, the same tastes, the same
way of looking at things, the same in
innate little family customs quite fire.
quently have difficulty in getting along
together.
Is it any wonder then that two peo-
pie who have been brought up with to-
tally different tastes and customs and
habits and ways of looking at things,
| when they come to share a daily ex-
| istence should occasionally find points
on which they differ?
1t isn't any wonder at all. 1t is
simply inevitable.
And the only way to evolve out OF
such situation a happiness that will
not mean the complete submergence

We know of no more profitable crop,
take il one season with another, than
alfalfa. There is always a demand for
alfalfa hay, and the demand is
steadily growing one. Once started,
an alfalfa field will last for years and
WELD a crop as surely as the seasons
come 1t can be cut from three to five
times during the season, and will yield
up to two tons of hay to the acre to
each cutting, and it enriches instead of
impoverishing the soil. When an alfal-
ia field is abandoned and plowed up
for some other crop, it is in better
shape than it would have been had not
therefore, to the annual value Of its
output of hay, it is valuable as a fer
tilizer of the land upon which it grows.
The best soil for alfalfa is a deep
alluvium: the soil of our river bot
tomlands is ideal. In it's preparation,
it should be thoroughly and deeply
plowed, the surface finely pulverized
and leveled. If it is to be irrigated, the
field should be checked off for that
purpose. That is it should be laid off
in small squares, each surrounded with
a low leVee, so that water can be
turned in and retained until it sinks in
to the soil. In some of our naturally
moist lands, alfalfa can be grown with
out irrigation, but in a majority of
cases. even if not absolutely necessary,
irrigation is beneficial. The alfalfa
plant sends it's roots very deep to
reach water, and we have seen them 20
feet in length; but if this can be sup
piled after each cutting from the sur
face and allowed to reach the whole
root system, the new crop will more
rapidly grow and better returns be
had 1t is usual to flood the field i'm
mediately after each cutting, and this
