toad, who was to be my bed.fellow for
the night. Again tried to get wink
and lying half awake and half asleep
to the various sounds of the Coyotes,
mountain lion, Badger, Lynx and etc.
After several rights of this torture
began to get used to my surroundings
and began to like my wild western life.
The only recreation the ranchers and
cow-punchers have from regular farm
life is to go to dance once a month in
the nearest towns. On these occasions
men and women ride for miles to at
tend, and one of the most inspiring and
beautiful sights is TO see twenty or
thirty cow-girls and boys galloping to or
from dance along the country road on
a moonlight night dressed in high heel
boots, sleeps and spurs and the women
in khaki and somboreos and short skirts
riding astride. The dance begins with
lone fiddler and continues till three in
the morning. The party breaks up in
time to get back to the ranches to do
the morning chores. Our dances here
are round dances only.
A little romance comes in about hers:

my feet and preparing myself for
Mexican cattle rustlers, was surprised
TO see sender girl astride a fine bron-
cho approaching in gallop. AS she
came up she handed me something and

wishing for. After several trips of this
kind we became better acquainted aud

Wonder Balls.

German mothers encourage their lit
tie girls to knit by supplying them
with a ball OF wool called a wonder
ball because IL contains many little
gifts hidden therein by the mothers
fingers as she winds the worsted. AS
the gift at the center Of the ball will
be found last, that is usually the best
and might be little gold ring or any
bit of child's jewesry. At another
time the little knitter finds silver
coin and again something for her dol
ly. A silver thimble gives great de-
light. The method stimulates perse-
verance and lessons the drudgery of
learning 10 knit.

SeasonabIe Table Linen.

The finest damask, shining like satin,
has largely supplemented the lace
pieces that for awhile were exclusively
popular.
So great is the craze for beautiful
damask that even monograms are held
to detract from the beauty Of its de-
sign and are not allowed.
Thus one set of centerpieces and
tumbler and plate doiles is simply of
damask bordered with hand embrod-
cred scallons.
The all over tablecloth at luncheon
is hopelessly old fashioned. the polish
ed wood must show somewhere.
The patterns of these damasks are
many and novel. Some are of the
(period of Louis Quinze-ribbons and
baskets of flowers. stripes and spots
and flower clusters and single blossoms

or two for publication to give YOU ar

in the wild and woody west.
Our eastern friends, living in Ken

benefit and beauty in this land of sun
shine and flowers; foremost of all,
c ilifornia, the city of San Diego with
its beautiful bay and its most equatible
climate of the whole world, neither hot
nor cold, no electric storms and never
freezes. For example, the newsboys

town siXty-hve miles northeast of San
Diego, called Julian, which is 1900 feet
above sea level. Julian is an old
mining town with a population of
about 200; one blacksmith shop, two
groceries, post Office, two blind pigs,
one hotel and many abandoned gold
mines, about 100 acres of the finest
fruit bearing trees, especially apples,

trees, which was i0xl7 it; and this was

miles away from home among perfect
