SfenogrdpherS Good Farmers

cooking can save that way. Why, we
used to compare our expenses win
what they had been when we boarded
and feel as though we had been shame-
fully cheated. .o.
but when the time came for us to move
back into town none of us wanted TO go
After a. while we succeeded in getting
a man and his wife to take the two
rooms at the back of the house free or
rent for the sake of having some one
with us nights.
1--WE got him by giving him ten acres
of land free of rent. In return ne
worked the garden, cleaned up the
orchard, built chicken houses and did
the thousand and one things that make
the difference between a place and
home. That year we sold vegetables,
eggs. chickens and ten barrels of ap-
pies. s....,.
"Since then the produce of our farm
has been steadily increasing. Having
paid for the farm we are now making
it not only self-supporting but protit-
able. Last year we cleared $5lO on
chickens and eggs. $34O on apples, SIX
hundred odd dollars on vegetables ana
S156 on butter and milk. We have only
two COWS. The dairy and the orchard
are my province. The southern girl
devotes her time to the poultry, While
our western friend looks out for the
vegetables.
"Every department is run on strict
business principles. Each OF us Keeps
books that are open to the others at
any and all times. l know exactly how
much each batch of chickens hatcher
from the incubator costs, just as the
other girls know what the harvesting
of the apple crop amounted to-
oh farm the
roads out there were abominable and
there wasn't a trolley within several
miles. Now one of the finest automo-
bile roads in the country passes in
front of our gate and there is a trolley
within two minutes walk.
"This has not only increased the
value of our property, but it has
brought us nearer New York. We get
to our work in just half the time we
did that first year we made the break
from furnished rooms and oil stoves.
''I don't want you to think we have
not worked for all that we have. We
not only have had to work and deny
ourselves, but we had to keep at 1t for
two good long years before there was
even a glimmer of a chance of getting
out of the woods.
'Now that it is all over and we have
a good, comfortable home besides q
dividend producing piece of property,
we all feel that it is we'll worth all
that we have given up for it. If any
thing should happen and one of us
should lose her position in town she
would not be penniless. She would
have a home and third of the earn
ings of the farm.
"That is a great point to be consid-
cred, especially by women. Though We
are all earning good pay in pleasant
positions we are all looking forward
to the time when we will have laid up
enough to retire from business"

W HREE woman stenographers en-
ployed in New York went into
Il partnership about five years ago
and bought a farm of some twenty
acres in Connecticut. They began by
spending their vacations and week
ends on the farm. Now they are conf
muters and derive a little income from
apples, chickens and vegetables.
1.-TWO of us are from the west and the
other is a southerner," said one of the
three, quoted by the New York Sun. Il
think it was loneliness that first at
tracted us to each other.
I'VE had seen each other for several
months in a New York lunch room be-
fore either got up courage to speak to
the other You know how such things
progress. From speaking we got to
talking, then making dates with each
other and when the summer came we
managed to get our holiday at the same
time and go to the same place in the
country.
TT was only two short weeks and the
city seemed terribly dusty and hot
when we came back. From wishing we
could go into the country for the week
ends we finally began to think out
plans.
I'VE looked into the matter of rent
ing and buying small country places
near New York and all during the win
ter divided our energies between saving
our earnings and looking at places of
fered for sale. When the spring came
we had settled on a Connecticut farm
offered for $1,000 on almost any terms.
1.-The house was out of repair and
everything on the place had been
neglected. 1t belonged to the estate of
some wealthy woman who had taken it
in payment for a debt and no one had
ever cared enough about it even to
close the door of the dwelling house.
It's only occupants so far as we could
learn had for several years been stray
animals, generally goats.
"Well, we got the place by paying 5000
down and the balance in monthly I'M
stallments. After paying that 5000 there
wasn't another $100 between US. but we
all felt that once we owned the place
the rest was easy.
Il can't say it proved easy exactly,
but taken altogether it has proved both
pleasant and profitable. We didn't do
much that first year besides having the
place thoroughly cleaned and giving the
dwelling and outbuildings a good coat
Of whitewash.
at is surprising how pleasant saw
ing becomes when once you have a real
object to save for. The year before it
would have annoyed me very much not
to be able to have new hat or to have
to wear the same suit weekdays and
Sundays. These seemed very trivial
matters, indeed, compared with fitting
up our home.
THE three Of us used to comment
about different girls in our offices, how
silly they were to spend their wages for
such trifles. In order 10 be able to save
little more we took two furnished
rooms together and got our meals our
selves. 1t is surprising how much a
woman who knows the rudiments of

onions and canned tomatoes may be used
for this dish.

WHEN WILL WOMEN
BECOME cITIZENS7

When we wipe out conditions that
kill babies.
When we make it impossible for
any mother to be ignorant of infant
hygiene.
When we make it impossible for fac
tory, store or home work to unfit a
woman to save her baby.
When we get milk that is safe for
babies.
When we get clean air and use it.
When we eat.
When we can answer, Why do babies
die? and Why are mothers ignorant?
The vote alone cannot give us these
things, but doing these things will
give us the right to vote.-The De-
lineator

sEA.eoRN BUTTERFLIES

The Hamburg liner Amerika brought
into New York on Saturday some sea-
born butterflies. They were originally
concealed in the buds of several hya-
cinths that were taken aboard the liner
at Hamburg and put in the new palm
room of the Ritz-Carlton restaurant.
When the ship was three days out the
buds opened, and the butterflies ap-
peared. They were flying about the
palm room when the liner Gocked. SOME
of them were three inches across the
wings and were dark brown with red
and yelloWish markings.

Dainty Jobots Quickly Made

One woman is making a lot of her
friends happy with the dainty and or
iginal little jabots which she has sent
them. They are made of shaped
pieces of fine Persian lawn laid in
plaits. The novel part is the way in
which the edge is finished. 1t is rolled
by hand, then overcast with colored
mercerized cotton. After it has been
overcast once it is gone ovcS a second
time. making the stitches slant in the
opposite direction. Done in pale green
pink or blue, the result is decidedly
Frenchy and attractive. The jabots
can be pointed or rounding, and as they
are so easily made are ideal for small
gifts

The following method does away with
fshy dishes disagreeable odors, etc: Clean
and wash the fish thoroughly, salt, pepper,

roll in manila paper at least three times
Pinch the ends of the paper together, then
fold back, and pin securely, to prevent the
escape of the juices. Bake in moderate

Oyster Salad
If you have large oysters, cut each in
half, but by preference get small oysters
Drain the liquor from the oysters and to
each cup of these allow a cup of cut-up
celery. Sprinkle lightly with salt, mix well
and stir into all cup of mayonnaise dress

HINTS. FOR THE
HOME DRESSMAKER
with the Needle

A very pretty cushion is made oil hne
white lawn, on which wreath ot
roses is drawn or stamped. On the
wrong side of the lawn baste piece of
net, and outline. the design of roses on
the right side in buttonhole stitch with
white or pink silk, sewing through
both lawn and net.
The center of the roses should be
round and filled with French knots.
The lawn is then cut carefully from
the inside of the petals, leaving the
net beneath, which is held in place
with the buttonholing.
The cushion may then be lined with
pale, pink silk, and the effect will be
charming.

TWO SENSIBLE poN,rs

Don't wear unbecoming coiffures or
hats or gowns just because they are the
style. No one is so beautiful that she
can afford to be slavish follower of
fashion.
Don't try to look younger than you
are nor older than YOU are, nor as if
you had more money than YOU have.
The girl who apes womanly clothes is
as unlovely as the old woman who tries
TO be kittenish; while attempted finery
is hopelessly inartistic

A uat for summer Frocls

A charming hat for informal sum
mer wear was noticed this spring in
one of the local shops. 1t would be
ideal for midsummer mornings or for
wear at the seashore. The hat was a
large leghorn with graceful rolling
brim, faced with lavender crepe de
chine. The only trimming was of the
crepe de chine, arranged in very full
drape with a large bow at the side.
The effect was simple but extremely
stylish and could be copied to ad-
vantage in pale blue, yellow or rose
crepe de chine.

A Paris Idea

Three-quarter-inch white cotton
fringe, with loops instead of cut ends,
is used on several new Paris gowns,
and is an entirely possible trimming to
the amateur dressmaker.
It may be sewed to the edge of wide
tucks on a linen scrim gown, and is a
quite perfect decoration for the white
French crepe which is so popular. A
line of fringe down the outside of the
sleeve is a pleasing substitute for the
lace frill

HAD HEB WAY

One of the oldest named country homes is in
jackson county, Missouri. The name 1t ap-
pears at the front gate is ''Hadherway," and
never fails to attract attention from passersby.
For years the wife wanted to leave Kansas
City and go to farm, When the family finally
moved they named the home 'Hadherway."

For a Net Yoke

A good looking yoke can be made
from wash net by trimming it with
row after row of narrow braid, either
the same color or in a contrasting
tone. This is easily done, and stands
laundering well.
The braid can be evenly spaced or 1t
can be set on in groups of two and
three with a wider space between.
When used as a guimpe the net sleeves
should be braided to match the yoke
