LARGE AND SMALL FAMILIES.

Where the population is largely agri-
cultural and isolated. and where labor
IL scarce, the husbandman is proud to
raise large family, for the boys In
time Will help to lift the labor from his
shoulders, and also there is always
plenty of work for the girls to do about
the farm. Moreover, food is plentiful
and other desires are few. But no such
stimulus for large family exists in
urban life, where 1t is often necessary
TO live in fat, the very limitations of
which point to the inadvisability of a
numerous progeny, says Indianapolis
Star. Moreover. as the individual
rises in the social scale former desires
become present needs. The coming of
numerous children would mean the
sacrifice Of these needs by the parents,
the descent to lower standard Of liv-
ing, and the parents will not consent.
Finally science has shown that a
small family well taken care of makes
a better showing in future generations

FOR BELTS AND HANDBAGS
These, and Sometimes Parasols, Are
Made of Same Material as
Linen Costumes.

Some ultra women this year have
had handbags and parasols, as well as
leather finished belts made of the
same linen as their costumes. Belts,
however, are often the sole point OF
color which is introduced upon the
one-tone tailored gown and all sorts
of old favorites are coming back into
favor again, including linked metal
and fine leather, beaded and fancy
elastic articles.
With linen tailored dresses, as with
the soft, long, one-piece forms, mar
row silk underskirt is worn, generally
of the same color as the gown. This
skirt is made with messaline top
and rufhe, possibly. though not neces-
sarily, of shot taffeta. Batiste or lawn
skirts are made up with the same pro-
portions and general shape, the idea
being to have the garment as thin as
possible and without a bit OF super.
nuous fullness around the hipa-Har.

persons who dislike the usual sweet
accomplishments of women's teas. and
if there happens to be man in the
crowd he is certain to be pleased. Cut
rye, gluten and graham bread in the
manner described. leaving them with

a layer of Spanish onion cut very thin
and sprinkled lightly with salt. Put
between the buttered gluten slices a
delicate leaf of lettuce covered with
dab of mayonnaise. or sour cream
beaten up thickly. Put between the
graham slices thin fakes OF crisp GU
cumber or a thick slice of tomato sea-
soned with salt and lemon juice. Wrap
the sandwiches in oiled paper and
serve them in that way.

A Rhode Island travelling agent who
was disappointed in the demand in a
certain section for the fireless cookers
which ID was offering, discovered that
the farmers of Little Rhody" have
taken to the use of their incubators for
summer coking. Like the discovery Of
roast pig in China, this utilization of
the incubator was the result of acct
dent. A husband who had forgotten to
put on the pork and beans in accord
ance with a promise to a wife "out
shopping" dashed the beans into an in
cubator, thus saving his bacon at the
expense of few chicks which were
called out to death in fervent pork
and-beans atmosphere. The idea of
both raising and cooking chickens in
incubators is depressing to the manu-.
facturers of fireless cookers.

The aggregate of such Withdrawals
now reaches over 71,5OO,OOO acres
This means that the enormous area in
