The Children Of the
Retired Farmer.

| AS SSWAO 0hu VAAA06So Va ShS
corn belt are reasonably we'll
filled with retired farmers. Some,
past the period of actual work
and even of choring, are living
in comfort on a well-earned in
come. Others were driven to
town because of the impossibility
of securing help in the home.
There are others whose main OBJ
ject is to give their children an
education which will give them
a better chance in life than their
parents had.
In nearly all sections of the
corn belt these retired farmers
are men who came to the country
with little but their bare hands
and stont hearts. Some of them
were immigrants from northern
Europe and the British Isles,
some farmers sons from the more
eastern states, and others sons of
the first settlers, who had ac-
quired satisfactory fortunes.
From whatever section they came,
the outside world thought their
lives hard and regarded them as
only farmers. While their
work was hard and their leisure
small and luxuries few, they had
nevertheless opportunities which
seldom fall to mortals, and such
as will not be given to any gen.
eration in the corn belt for the
next thousand or ten. thousand
years; in fact, while the world
stands. They had the opportun.
Iity to secure at 4 nominal price
a piece of land in the most fer
tile portion of the world. Hav-
ling for the most part had but
few educational advantages, they
aim to give their children an ed
ucation that will make them
masters of any situation in which
they may be placed, or at least
give them a better chance than
ever fell to the lot of their par
ents.
Will they be disappointed in
this? Will the children of these
retired farmers be any better
fitted for the work of life than if
they had stayed on the farm?
Will they be as we'll off as if the
parents had stayed on the farm
and done their part to secure a
better school system in the coun-
try? ..
To begin with, these children
of the retired farmer have lost
the chance to continue the edu-
cation which the farm itself
gives. The opportunity of work
suitable to their age, the habit
of economy, the saving grace, u
the close contact with nature,
the incentive and opportunity |
for close and accurate observa-I
ton, these in themselves are no
small part of a liberal education.
Nothing that they will ever learn
in town will altogether make upl
for this lack.
The great defect of life in the
ordinary small town is the lack
of opportunity for young folks to
work. The work there is in the
stores, butcher shop, bakery, and
is generally secured BY the sons
of native townsmeu, the prOprie-
tors of the business. There is
work on nearby farms in harvest
time; but these boys are out of
touch with the spirit of the farm
and unaccustOmed to the heat
and the work.
Does the education in the or
binary high school in the town
fit them for life1 That depends
on the life they expect to lead.
If these boys and girls intend to
be preachers, doctors, lawyers,
teachers, the town high school
fits them to enter college aud
there prepare for their future

FASHION NOTES.

Square sailor collars finish most
of the coats for young girls this
spring, and, indeed, this style Of col
lar is especially becoming, and
should be retained for school girls,
even if given up by older persons.
The more white near the face the
more attractive will the spring Co.'S
tune appear and the wide washable
collar is a fashion both intensely
practical and extremely smart.
It's width varies somewhat &C
cording to the figure of the wearer,
since for some girls a narrow, rather
dep collar will be more becoming
than a wide, shorter shape, and vice
versa.
The shape in the front should be
carefully planned, so as not to give
a narrow look to the thin child or too
broad look to the stout girl
Butterfly effects are quite a craze
this season and promise to continue
popular all summer. Butterflies
appear in the designs of summer ma
terials, while lovely designs are seen
in the jewelers. work.
Butterflies form paras0l tops, on
hats, as trimming or as hatpins
The winged creatures are used as
shoe buckles and for ornaments for
the hair, and a novelty is black satin
and black velvet butterfly bows edged
with brilliants or colOred stones.
Black velvet ribbon is having a
wonderful vogue, and if one would
be fashionable, the costume should
have a garnishing of black velvet
somehow, somewhere.

THE SECRET OF YOUTH.

Some one asked a woman how it

she was so years old, and her ener-

for her heart was still young in
sympathy and interests. And this

And weaving April sunbeams across
the dingy street.
But out on the hillside, she passed
me like a shadow,
Arbutus at her girdle, and it's fra
GRANGE filled the air;
And I heard her laughing softly by
the ice imprisoned waters,
With silver pussy-willows in her bios

Low DER the hillsides, before the
twilight's falling,
She swung her silver lantern through
the smoke filled sunset haze;
And through the budding birches
where her vagrant footsteps wan

The first shy windflowers nodded

CHIFFON BAGS AS HAIR RE
CEIVERS
CEIVERS.

A Chiffon bag for combings is one
of the novelties offered in the toll
cite department and although the
finished article is rather expensive,
the clever needle woman can easily
copy it with little trouble and ex-
pense, and develop it quite as pref
tily as the bought article.
The bottom is made of cardboard,
cut round and about five inches in
diameter. This is covered with silk
and then recovered with chiffon.
The bag itself is made of two thick
nesses of chiffon, the lining con-
trasting with the outer covering.
The top of the bag is gathered
around a small embroidery hoop,
both the top and bottom being finish
ed with a double frill
A good plan would be to make a
lining of thin lawn or sheer linen,
attaching it to the opening of the bag
with few stitches so that it could
readily be taken out and laundered
at any time.
A loop of silk cord is attached to
one side of the bag by which to hang
it up.
This bag could be made of almost
any material, silk ribbon, or even
lawn, organdy, pique, linen, & etc.,
but made in chiffon and with a de-
tachable lining of lawn it is novel in
appearance and absolutely clean at
the same time.
This is much more convenient
than the small glass or china hair
receiver which stands on the aver
age girls dressing table and which

A Novel Plan.

A friend of mine who always ex-
cites much admiration for her pretty,
dainty colored lingerie dresses, man
ages this way. When white dress
is Numbered, she has it dipped in
water colored with vegetable dye
(the kind used in cakes and candy
instead of bluing. AS a result the
dress is delicate pink or green or
whatever shade she wishes. The
color is easily washed out, and the
next time she may have it the origi-
nal white or however it suits her
fancy. Thus she has a seemingly
great variety of dresses-Harper's
Bazaar.
