MISS TARBELL AND
THE SIMPLE LIFE

Miss Ida TarbeIl, historian of the
Standard Oil Company and biographer
of Napoleon and Lincoln, is disciple
of the simple life. A writer who has
interviewed her at her country home
in Connecticut writes an amusing ac-
count of Miss Tarbelps life in the hills
and gives US many glimpses of her
personality. Instead of .austerity''
she discovered ingenious charm She
found her as simple in her tastes, as
unpretentious in her manner as if she
had but just emerged from the small
Pennsylvania town where she was
born. We quote from Good Health
(ApriD:
This farm home which Miss Tar
bell seeks at the close of long sum
mer days spent at the editorial desk
is an hour and quarters ride by
rail from great, teeming New York. It
is nestled in among densely wooded
Connecticut hills and is six miles from
the nearest railway station-quite far
lbut now far enough she asserts1 from
the haunts of man. Over it she is as
enthusiastic as a fond parent over her
first child. And small wonder.
There are forty rolling acres, with
fair meadows, babbling brook, wood
lot, and orchard where giant apple
trees put forth their fragrant pink
and white glory each May, wooing
blue-birds and robins to be their ten
ants. In describing it to me. Miss
TarbelI said: It was just an ordinary
little house, with a new room hung
on" every time they needed one But
it does not look so nondescript as that.
1t is full of New England individual
ity. Giant oaks and elms shade the
street in 'front.' and inside the garden
wall, which encloses it, there are guam
titles of old-fasIioned flowers and
shrubs-liiacs, peonies, monthly roses,
hollyhocks. trumpet vines, clumps Of
spicy pinks and lilies. There are shady
corners where ferns grow lovingly and
pansies do their purple best, and be-
yond the house is the garden, where
every summer morning before break
fast Miss Tarbel1 may be found, weed
ing. transplanting, hoeing, or gather
ing the vegetables and flowers that,
she says, are always surprising her by
the obliging way they have of grow

BEDTIME ON A SANTA rE TRAIN.

On a Santa Fe train coming out of
Kansas City one night was mother
and her brood of fye-four girls and
one boy. They were on their way 10
the new country, where fine husband
and father had claim. The Oldest girl
appeared fifteen, and from that age
down to the only boy, chubby little
fellow about four
Their dress showed that they had not
been reared in luxury, but they were
modern children, and clean. The moth
er was thin, her face haggard with the
long trip and the care of her flock.
Tt was bedtime when the train left
Kansas City, and the younger ones
were yawning and scarcely able to keep
awake; in fact, the pet of the family
had closed his eyes, while the next eld-
est tugged at him while she looked APP
pealingIy to her mother with an express

to sleep yet. Presently the cause of
all this excitement was made plant

gether at the long seat, the baby bow
ing his head with the rest and rubbing
with his chubby hands his eyes that
would hardly stay open, while the even
ing prayers were said. just for a mo-
ment, and then they arose. the children
were made as comfortable as possible
for the night. and soon all but the
mother fell asleep, while the moistened
eyes and quivering lips of the other
passengers, the travelling men with their
grips, the politician with his schemes.
the business man with his worries. paid
a silent but mighty tribute to the
greatest eivilizing agent of all ages. the
Christian religion. God save the moth

homes in safety and to their last home

proved practical or satisfactory, as they
suffer greatly from slush covered streets.
