WHEN THE CHILDREN GROW UP.

He was 81, had Just bought a farm, and
was running it, the ~neighbors said, re-
markably we'll for one of his years. But
his mother who hadn't seen him for some
months, questioned infinitely about every
thing he did, told him how to do farming
in all its branches, objected to many of
his methods. He was a good son, but at
times he looked plainly annoyed. She
couldn't have given him more specific di-
rections, in many instances, If he had been
only six years old. The trouble was, she
could not realize he had grown up.
It Is a fault of many parents and one
that causes mvch friction between old
folks and youns folks.
1t is hard for a mother to realize that
her child has grown up, that he can think
and plan and work quite as we'll as her
self. It is difficult for old folks to get
young folks viewpoint. But these things
are essential if one is to retain the con-
fidence Of the young people, If a breach is
not to be made between them that grows
wider with the years.
If older folks would enter into the in
terests and work Of the young people SYM
pathetically, the young would welcome,
not resent, their advice. But few elders
go hand in hand with the younger gener-
alton. Their attitude is apt to be that Of
one who stands off and criticises, and be-
cause Of greater knowledge and expert
ence, insists ,.pon their directions being
obeyed to the letter. Hasty and impulsive
youth. full of optimism and inexperieace,
objects to this dogmatic interference, and
there is rouble.

How to Plant shrubberv.

Beauty Your Country Home by
Shrubbery," is the keynote Of f. P. Pow
els article in Outing. Mr.. Powell Of
fers some very timely advice on the sub
'ect. He says:
Never plant your shrubs in rows, I'M
less it be for Withdrawals, or bordering
straight drives. Seek variety in all your
grouping. Low-growing shrubs should be
planted in front of taller. Grow as a
rule in the sod, of course forking an
nually around each plant: I mean by this
that formal walks should be avoided. If
your shrubbery Is large enough. YOU
should arrange it SO that you may lose
y" Srself when strolling about of an even
ins or a morning. Your mondays should
be spent under the shade Of the lawn
trees or In the orchard.
Shrubs that are suitable for hedges are
rare, because most of them are liable to
lean over too far, like most of the sp.reas.
while others are constantly dying out in
twigs that deface the hedge. The very fin
est of all shrubs for this purpose is the
Tartarian or bush honey-suckle. This
shrub appears with red flowers. with
white, and with pink. The pink-fowerinR
is a little rcore sturdy in growth and
might fairly be selected for a hedge.

AS COLLEGE GIRLS VIEW DRESS AND MATRIMoMY.

The commandments of the past
month at women's colleges have been
productive of much thought. Seen in
review, they indicate some very pleas
ing changes in womcn's view toward
some of the vital things of life.
One thing to be noted in passing Is
the vast number of girls graduated
from college nowadays. 1t would seem
recognizing the value and helpfulness
Of a broad, liberal education, and bend
ing all energy to acquiring it. This is
in itself a hopeful sign. for the nation
will advance mentally and spiritually
as its population develops, and when
approximately one-hal is progressing
by strides, the national life cannot but
show the effect of the uplift.
But aside from this general effect,
one or two things in particular are
quite noticeable.
Radcliffe college, for instance, the an
mex of Harvard, posted a set of rules
for the commencement dress. Next to
the bridal dress, perhaps the COM
menCement dress is dearest to the girl
ish heart. When it can be regulated by
rule, Womankind is taking a long step
forward out OF the realm Of within and
impulse and Observation-Disclosures into the
steady and stable world Of reason and
common sense Not only was this step
taken, but this was the dress pre-
scribed: Plain white shirtwaists with
long sleeves, linen Ollar with uniform
ties. plain white skirts. entirely without
trimming, three inches from the
ground, black hatpins to fasten the
mortarboard, and no bows on the hair,
no jeWelry or fancy combs Inc bar
The citizen-Republican. (Scotland, Bon Homme County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1910-07-28

Parents should grow up with their chf1-
dfen. They should retain the young, en-
thuslastic heart that feels as the young
people feel, and then they should draw
upon their Storehouse of wisdom and ex.
perlence for guidance and offer it in such
a sympathetic, observation-disclosures
Observation-Disclosures that it at once
attracts, not antagonizes.
Young folks have good ideas and meth-
DDS, even though they may not have ex-
perience. If everything was done as our
fathers and grandfathers did it, the world
would stand still. On the other hand. old
folks have tried some things out and know
they won't work. They have been right
over the road Upon which the Younger
generation may be starting, and thew feel
they must warn.
There needs to be concession and con-
sideration on both sides. The old should
admit that possibly the young can improve
on their methods; the young should realize
that their elders are giving advice and in
struction because Of their love and genu-
Inc desire to set young feet on light paths.
If old and young would get together in
this spirit, they could help each other
vastly. 1t is worth while for the old to
keep young; it is decidedly worth while
for the young to have the advantage OF
older counsel and experience which thew
are at liberty to use or not as they wish
without wounded feelings ensuing. The
children grow up fast. They are men and
women almost before we know it. Let us
keep step with them in all the perplexities
and problems life brings them, not sit far
off in

THE HOUSE THAT is A HOME.

when is a house not a homer" sounds
like a conundrum. But 1t is not a bit of
pleasantly. 1t is really a question for the
woman who conscientiously wants to make
a home to ponder over.
Margaret Fuller Ossoli says, "a home is
no home unless it contains food and fire
for the mind as well as for the body" and
this sentence seems to give the answer in
a nutshell.
We all know houses where there is food
and fire for the body. We eat our meals
in them. sleep there, pass in and out, but
they are little more nan places of shelter,
hostelries, in a word.
But what a difference In the atmosphere
of the real home, the place where, In ad-
dition to food and fire for the body, are
food and fire for the mind! Men and
women grow in a home. They merely ex-
list in a house.
A house may be furnished ever so ar
tistically. the meals planned and cooked
with the utmost regard to the laws OF
chemistry, while economy and neatness
are the housewives hand-maidens, yet the
place not be a home in the true sense OF
the word. What then shall the mistress
of it do to transform it into a home?
She must needs provide refreshment for
the inner man, as it were, food that will
nouris mind and spirit. She must search
the realms of literature, music, art, for
their best, and furnish these to her fam.
lily, If she would have a home and not
merely a house. She must, as well, cult
vate that atmosphere in which they will
be appreciated. She must enlist the in.
terest of every member of the family; fol
all must help make a home, one cannot
do it.
In choosing this food and fire for the
mind, she must choose wisely, or there
will not be healthy growth. Books thai
are thought productive and an Inspiration

rettes. Oxford ties In black and plain
black stockings completed the require
ments.
No thinking woman need to be told
of the money, time and energy wasted
upon woman's dress Of today. Anything
that helps to set more sensible stand
ards of dress is welcome. This is ono
of the things which the commencements
of the past month have set one think-
ing about.
At the class day exercises of Barnard
college, the annex Of Columbia univer-
slty, New York city, the class day sta
tistician told of many questions she had
asked the graduates and of their an
sWers. One was. What kind of man
do o want to marry?" The c]oncensus
of opinion vas that he must nave a
sense of humor.
This, too, is a decided improvement
upon W~omankind's view in the past of
this important matter. The girl of to-
day studies character and demands GER
tain essentials. rather than mere good
looks or fine manners. She is not
averse to a handsome man, and charm
of manner appeals to her. But there
must be character, solid worth back of
the appearance and ann or they
have no value. She is q good Judge of
the real things of life, ]pinchbeck can
not longer be passed as gold.
These w things alone which the
commandments of the past month have
brought to light are most significant,
They mark a decided step forward in
Woman's realm, for they touch upon
two of it's most vital matters, dress and
matrimony. and both, by this new at
titude of college girls toward them.

to greater effort or better living should

zines, as well, that keep one in touch with
all the big, vital problems of the day. The
mental atmosphere of the home should

Music and pictures should be selected

These things will awaken an interest

1t is a work, too, surely worth a wom-

as much service to the world as she is in

Cottonwood Falls Correspondence in the
Kansas City Times.
Farmers in this country who raised
kaff1r corn last year and are just now
completing the work Of threshing it
nave found out what a big appetite
the little English sparrow and his
numerous feathered brethren really
have. Practically none Of the crop
was threshed last fall and very little
was headed or put under cover. All
winter long the birds had free u to
1t, and many of the farmers relate
when they went to thresh the crop a
few weeks ago that on the top and
outside of every shock where the kafHr
corn heads were exposed the SEED was
picked off as clean as if it had been
run through a threshing machine.
