CHE parted with her "woman's
~ browning glory" to gain freedoml
She is only a very little woman, a
child of IA, but the feminine love of
admiration begins early. 1t doubtless
took grim courage, perhaps even secret
sullen anger, to give the ugly clash of
the sharp shears that severed the first
long brown lock from the head of little
Helen Mcbride.
The city where Helen lives matters
little. The story of the child is one
that is too often heard In the great
rushing. hustling cities of our broad,
free land, out 1t is not every child
that has the courage to despoil her
fairness In her effort to be free.
The child is motherless. She lives
in an institution. That is all that
needs to be said to any heart that
throbs with sympathy.
There was to be a picnic, a gay, hap

to have free hours far from the con-

One of the duties of Helen is to care
for the babies of the institutional nur-
sery. 1t was all we'll enough to look
after ones own little brothers and SIS
ters when ones own true mother as
sures you that you are helping her.
But poor little Helen had not grown
to the universal spirit. She does not
known that all the babies in the world

the universal love should make her
want to do for them as for her very
own. So the day before the wonderful
picnic, her mind would wander to all
the mysteries hat the next day
held for her. 1t wandered so per-
sistently that she neglected the
babies, poor child, and for punishment

THE EVER USEFUL SAILOR
SUIT.

There is no costume that suits the
little girl as we'll as the one made In
sailor style. Here is one that can be
utilized for different materials and
different occasions. The straight
skirt can be either plated or
gathered, so that II Is adapted both to
the heavier and lighter weight mate
rails. The collar can be made round
or square and the shield with or
without a collar. In this case blue
serge is trimmed with white broad
cloth banded with black braid, and
that combination Is a handsome and
fashionable one, but dresses of this Kind
are made from many different ma
terials. A good many mothers like to
use washable material until very cold
weather, Inc linen. s~oft-f1nished pique
and mercerized poplin are admirable
made In this way. The blouse can be
made In the real sailor style with an
applied yoke or 1t can be made plain,
Just as liked. The front edges are
hemmed and the closing Is made with
buttons and buttonholes. The skirt Is
attached to an underwaist, which Is
faced to form the shield. Blue and
white are the sailors colors and are
perhaps the preferred ones for cos
tunes of this sort. but such models,
nevertheless, are utilized for various
colors as we'll as fabrics. White serge
with trimming of blue on collar.
shield and cuffs is exceedingly attrac-
tive. Color on white is being much
worn and the entire dress made of
white with collar and cuffs of blue will
be very pretty.
For a girl of 10 years of age will
be required 6 yards of material 27, Az
yards SO, or 3 yards A inches wide,
with "a yard 81 for shield and standing
collar, u yard 81 for sailor collar and

From a She; p
iOa illinn Dnllars

The above is the title of an in
tensely interesting story that will
appear soon in Farmer and Breed
er. 1t is the story of how poor
boy started out with a sheep as
his total assets, and becoming
farmer, built UP q fortune OF
over a million dollars, following
his chosen vocation. This man
lives about eighteen miles from
Sioux City, and incidentally he is
a regular subscriber to Farmer
and Breeder for eighteen copies
of the paper for himself and his
employees.
This is the first Of series of
inspiratiOnal articles that will ap-
pear in Farmer and Breeder dur
ing the coming year. Such ar
ticles as this will be effective in
inspiring farmers and breeders to
do better work.
Inspiration is of inestimable
value to the business man. 1t is
to him what steam is to the en-
gine--it spurs him on. lnspira-
ton, or in other words, enthu-
siasm, is as necessary to the
farmer as it is to the business
man. The purpose Of the above
mentioned articles, which deal
with the trials and triumphs Of
living farmers, is to furnish some
notable examples which will in
spire others to do still greater
and better work. These articles
will be invaluable to those who
are willing to profit by the eN-
periences of others. The young
men and women On the farm will
do well to follow the examples
that these articles supply.
