OUT OF THE FARM.

The urban conception of the farm
I'm winter is one of snug comfort and
drowsy ease, its external appearance
showing. as in the familiar pictorial
ideal of a snow-bound farmhouse, with
a shoveled path leading through a
gate to a radiant window, through
which one peers in fancy and discerns
a happy family clustered round a
lamp, says the Philadelphia Press. The
idea is that the farmer has little or
nothing to do in the daytime but sit
inside his homo and feed the stock;
the wife knits; the children go to
school. 1t is a charming picture, not
always true to life. There is no time
In the year when there is cessation
from toll on farm 1t is different In
winter; that is all. The days are
shorter; the work rougher. OF course,
much depends upon the character Of
the farm; considerable leisure is pos
sible where few cattle are kept and
general trucking done. But always
there are the chores" A remarkably
elastic expression that - doing
chores" 1t may mean much or little.
Some dairy farmers. for instance.
whose serious business In life is milk
ing cows, may potter around the farm
after the mornings milking and ia
king the mornings milk to the cream
cry or railroad station, eat their noon
dinners. mend some fence, look over
the harness or haul out manure, pot
ter around some more, and then say:
Guess It's about time to do the
chores" meaning to milk two dozen
cows or so-the real hard work of the
day.

Fear of Badness Frightens Many
of Gentle Sex.
Excessive Use Of Puffs, Rats, Switches
and Other Artificial Formations
Exclude Air From Scalp
tho Cause.

New York.-Uneasy lies the head
that wears the browning glory" in
New York just at this psychological
moment Thrones totter and crowns
fail to At. and the latest rumor from
the front IL that unless the nonvoting
section of the population mends it's
ways the bald woman will soon be the
rule rather than the exception.
Let no one gather from this that
hair-pulling Ia on the increase. The
facts are that the view of London hair
dressers, coiffeuesses and beauty ply
sicians is sadly accepted by the pro-
fession here as the horrible truth.
Thanks to puffs. rats, wigs. switches
and other artificial formations that ex-
clude the air from the scalp, they say
the glorious tresses Of the American
woman are fading away like mists be-
fore the sun.
The most remarkable feature of the
situation, as seen here, is that while
those who pay their rent by dressing
the hair, supplying those artificial. or
recently human, filaments which COM
pose that attractive overhanging ledge
on the feminine capital, and the like,
live In constant dread of seeing a
woman come down the street with
nothing to pin her hat to, the business
men who manufacture and supply the
air-excluding accessories see no such
danger at all.
At Hepner's 1t was said recently:
THE idea that Transformations and
other coiffures press upon the scalp
and impede the circulation of the
blood to such an extent that the hair
roots are killed is ridiculous. 1t would
take much harder pressure than that
to have any effect on the hair. espe-
cially as these artificial aids have
nothing to do with the main portion of
the scalp. They generally are built
upon masses of real hair and have no
contact with the scalp"
There are several hairdressing es-
Establishments in Twenty-fourth and
Sixteenth streets where this attitude
is not accepted. There is also one un-
der the sign of the Red Parasol, In
Sixth avenue. Just above Twenty-first
street, where tall woman, far, far
from bald, told a reporter that New
York women are rapidly losing their
hair.
And it's all the fault of the trans
formations and puffs they are wear
ing" she said. IF they would bring
their natural hair to establishments
such as this and let it be treated nat
urally there would be no trouble"

New York Instructor Says Children
Play "Postoffice," But Elders
Should Refrain.

Chicago.-Chicago children need
more kissing games. according to Pro-
lessor Percival Chubb of New York
university and head of the depart
ment Of English and pageants in the
ethical school of New York, who lee
tured the other night at the Henry
Booth settlement house under the
auspices of the Chicago Ethical So
ciety.

dren. are harmless" he continued.
Drop the handkerchief. postoffice.
clap In and clap out. and dozen
more games of the same sort hurt no
one.
Mind you. don't advise them for
the elders. but before the young peo-
pie have reached The age Of sixteen
they are all right"
Professor Chubb declares that old
er people. too. have forgotten how to
play.
The old time play spirit Is gone, :"
he continued. THE children no longer
play games at parties and their eld-
ers play bridge most of the time.
The Sunday comic papers are
among the chief offenders against
children. In, the schools. for exam
pie, we work to develop certain
standard of literary and esthetic
tastes in children. Constantly. In
school and out of school. the Sunday
supplement works against any edu-
cative efforts. In place of better quail
ties, in the trough of the comic sheets
children learn smartness. vulgarity.
money tricks and irreverence.
Besides establishing bad habits of
taste. the Sunday supplements make
for 'scatter-brain' state Of mind
among children The habit Of sus-
tanned attention is lost. l for one
would prohibit these papers to chill
dren until they are sixteen years old.
The whole environment of the
child is that of the adult. On the
streets. for example. the advertise
ments greet him. Some Of them sug-
gest that, child as he rs. one brand
of whisky would be good fer him. An
other sign suggests that II he has
