The woman who cannot, for any
reason, consider a full length fur coat,
will find comfort in the many pretty
short jackets Of fur that are to be the
smart thing this winter. These little
short coats are usually about the
length Of the fashionable suit jacket,
which is twenty-six to twenty-eight
inches, and they are modelled on much
the same lines. Etons Of fur are also
pretty and correct, taking the place o"
the large pereline, or fur scarf. These
short coats are usually of seal or Hud-
son seal. broad-tail, astrachan or
baby lamb with collars and cuffs, or
other trimmings, Of fuller, huffier fur.
The Etons are sometimes bordered all
about with contrasting fur, while the
Jackets show a great variety of large
shawl collars and revers Of raccoon,
fox or skunk. /
Sailor collars, even, are used on
fur coats, some in square, some in
and some in pointed effects.

casionally seen, and offer an excellent

POEMS THAT CHEER
LOVING WORDS.

Loving words will cost but little
Journeying up the hill of life,
But they make the weak and weary
Stronger, drawer for the strife.
Do you count them only trifies?
What TO earth are sun and rain?
Never was a kind word wasted;
Never one was said in vain.
When the cares of life are many,
And its burdens heavy grow,
For the ones who walk beside you,
If YOU love them, tell them so.
What you count of little value
Has an almost magic power,
And beneath that cheering sunshine
Hearts will blossom like a flower.
So. as up lifes hill we journey,
Let us scatter all the way
Kindly words, to be as sunshine
In the dark and cloudy day.
Grudge no loving word, my sister,
AS along through life you go,
To thu ones who journey with you.
If YOU love them, tell them so.

JANET WRITES FERPLExED.

Dear Sister Perplexed: You have my
sympathy, if your are Obliged to keep
house and feed and clothe a family of
five on nine dollars a week.
However, keep ZIP courage. dear,
for I believe you can do it; and who
knows but what it is a blessing in dis
guise. You certainly will never have
TO answer for the sin of extrava-
gance.
Think if I were compelled to live on
this amount should choose a little
home on the outskirts of the city
where rent would be cheap and sun
shine and fresh air plentiful.
| think husband and wife should
consult together to make every penny
go as far as possible. Do not worry if
you cannot have meat: that is a lux
ury you can live without, and enjoy as
good if not better health. There are
other foods that contain meat value
and do not cost nearly as much.
I think nearly everyone eats more
than is good for them. Look around
at some of your more wealthy friends.
You will generally find them complain
ing of some i'll or another. If you and
your family enjoy good health, thank
God for it, for You are richer than
they.
In summertime when fresh vegeta-
bles and eggs are cheap, it does not
cost much to live. In winter watch
the bargain sales for a good brand of
canned goods. Buy when they are
cheap. Condensed soups, especially
the tomato and vegetable can be
bought for s1.0S a dozen: and I dom
know but less. Good bananas can be
bought for ten cents a dozen: to be
sure, the skin has just commenced to
turn brown, but that is just the tnei
to eat them. Oranges can be bought
16 or 10 for a quarter. You can af-
ford to enjoy these little luxuries,, and
when the prices go up let them alone.
Good coarse breads can be made
very reasonably. and are more whole
some than the fine breads. Cakes and
doughnuts that require but one egg
you can have sometimes.
| will send YOU some recipes of good
wholesome dishes later. as I fear the
length of my letter already will try
the patience of our good editor

COLONY HOUSES
VS.. LONG HOUSES

Dear Sisters and Brothers: There is
no kind of poultry house that will
suit all. There is much disagreement
in the ideas of poultrymen regarding
poultry houses. The poultry house is
for the comfort of the hens mora than
the convenience of their owner.
have found that from Is to 80 birds
will do better in one house than put
ting 100 or more together For that
reason the colony plan has a good
many followers. The hens have free
range, the houses can be moved on to
fresh ground. the hens pick up a good
deal of their living. If dangerous
disease like cholera. or roup, breaks
out, as it seldom does, in a colony
house it can be confined to one house
Its disadvantages are that even in
pleasant weather it requires a good
deal of time to tend the scattered
focks, and in winter during bad
weather it is hard to care for them
and if they are moved too far from
the house thieves will find it easier to
steal them.
The long house has its advantages
In being easy to tend the flock, clean
the house. and takes less material to
build q house to keep the same num-
her of hens. as there are the sides ex-
ira on the colony houses. But the first
cost of the larger house is more. as the
email ones can be made of piano boxes
and short pieces and can be built by
The disadvanta ges of the long house
is If a disease breaks out it has been
found almost impossible to confine it
to that compartment. as the germs
travel in the air and are carried on the
feet. The majority of large poultry
plants are run on this plan. Most
poultrynen claim that the advantages
and drawbacks balance each other. and
that the extra care in the long houses
equals the labor of the colony house
plan.
A combination of the two methods is
good. but is not practiced much. The
colony house could be used for the
breeding stock and the long houses for
the hens for egg production.
I have one large house with cellar
under it. and four small ones. The
hens IN the smaller ones Jay better.
are out all the time. while those in the
long house. if they Were allowed to
have their own way would stay inside
and not lay as well. besides fighting
for a certain place on nests and roosts
and crowding.

the Sisters to send some little Christ

AS VIRGINIA VIEWS THE NEGRO.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corners
How many of us in the long, long ago
wrote in our copy books: MANY men
OF. many minds, Many birds of many
kinds?
How many of us keep in mind, tAlr
sorts and conditions of mem?
Now, these familiar quotations bring
me to Travellers side. The low. illit-
not problem to me. 1t is the edu-
Gated, refined negro. The question iss
or, [ may say the problem is, What
shall we do with them?
In the south. and among the class
of housekeepers you speak of, there
certainly must employ a cheap, low
lot of servants. No doubt you have
said we'll when you state they carry
home the scraps, perhaps, just what
eur northern housekeepers would put
into the swill pail.
Traveller, don't you know that ia
about as much as a cheap negro will
steal-something to eat? If those
housekeepers fed them and paid them
well they would not do it.
About that fish story-that is what
l call a trick | admit negroes are
tricky to a degree, but where under
the sun did they get it? Wasn't "Ole
Massa and Missy" tricky? 1t may in
some cases be in the blood. Couldn't
hey steal. too? Only the darkey, as
stated, will steal something to eat
or some old, trivial thing, while our
people will get away with a whole
bank.

| never be regained. Sometimes We
hear these words, in fact quite often:
4 don't realize how tired | am until
l stop"
The point is, if we snatch a few
moments each day for the desired rest
it will enable US to keep on hand a
surplus in our strength reserve, ready
to meet any emergency which may re-
Quire extra endurance.
Each individual knows best what
time of day is the most convenient Tor
resting. Between 1 and in the after
noon is a time when most women may
stop the household machinery for a
few moments, even if some task has
to wait till after the rest. Work is
only play when he feel rested.
If there are youngsters, require them
to either take maps or to be quiet while
mother takes her rest. This requires
much perseverance, but it can be done.
How to Rest-Lie fiat on the back,
arms relaxed at the side; take a few
deep breaths; then relax all the mus
cIes; close the eyes and think pleas
ant thoughts. If one only desires to
rest, then keep this position for 20
minutes; but if one desires to sleep,
after lying for 10 minutes on the back,
all muscles relaxed, turn on the right
side, and if a good sleeper you'll be in
Dreamland in jiffy.
When resting. keep one thought in
your mind, that you are alone with
yourself, and that you must rest, rest
rest.
Sisters. when you consider that the
above is not only a recipe for resting
but also for keeping young. believe me
you will find it worth trying.
Where is the woman, especially
Social Corner Sister who is rot anx
ious to keep youth with her as long a s
she can? Every woman can do it, it
she will take plenty of sleep and rest,
fresh air and sunshine
The rest recipe is for men and wom-
en-; therefore. whether our Corner Ed
itor is Mr.. Editor or Lady Editor, rest
is within reach. Who knows how
much patience and thought is required
to run Social Corner?

Editor Social Corner: Here are a few
hints that may help TIE sisters:
After washing and drying your WOOL
en- blankets hang them on a line in
the open air and beat well with a. car
pet-beater. They will appear like
new.
A tablespoonful of vinegar in ket-
tie of hot lard will prevent doughnEs
from a bsorbing fat.
One teaspoon sweet cream in FROST
ing prevents crumbling when cut
When making jelly and it does not
jell, clean a few carrots. cut them up
and put in jelly. Let boil 2 few min
utes until done.
To keep pumpkins: Gather them be-
fore ffosts. Coat the stems with seal
ing wax, and store in a dry place. Can
be kept in perfect flavor a long time.
To remove burnt fruit or other burnt
victuaIs from a kettle: Put a shovel of
ashes from the stove hearth into the
kettle. also g quart of water, and boil
In a few minutes all the burnt crust
may be easily washed off the kettle.
Custard Without Egss-New milk,
one quart, four tablespoons flour, two
tablespoons sugar; nutmeg or CHINA
mon, salt. Place milk over quick fire
as soon as it boils having rubbed the
flour smooth in cold milk. stir in as
soon as scalded; add sugar, spices, salt.
