Planning the Farm Home.

Something Of beauty, as we'll as Of

conditions Is needed to make a farm
home attractive. A wide sweep of
lawn between the house and the road,
a background Of trees and shrubbery,
low towering bushes planted close to
the foundation and serving, as 1t were,
to bind the house to the soil; vines
over the porch OF bordering the win
dow frames-all these do much to
beau.ify the house. From the erection
of the first house. however modest, the
homemaker should plan for the future

THE YOUNG BRIDES
FIRST DISCOVERY

Their wedding tour had ended, and
they entered their new home to settle
down to what they hoped to be one long
uninterrupted blissful honeymoon.
But, alas! the young brides troubles
soon begin, when she tried to reduce the
cost of living with cheap big can baking
powders.
She soon discovered that all she got
was a lot for her money, and it was not
all baking powder, for the bulk of it was
cheap materials which had no leavening
power. Such powders will not make light,
wholesome food. And because of the abb
sence of leavening gas, it requires from
two or three times as much to raise cakes
or biscuits as it does of Calumet Baking
Powder.
Thus, eventually, the actual cost to
you, of cheap baking powders, is more
than Calumet would be.
Cheap baking powders often leave the
bread bleached and acid, sometimes yell
low and alkaline, and often unpalatable.
They are not always of uniform strength
and quality.
Now the bride buys Calumet-the per-
fectly wholesome baking powder, moder-
ate in price, and always uniform and re-
liable. Calumet keeps indefinitely, makes
cooking easy. and is certainly the most
economical after all.

CHAPTER VII.
We Make an Omeiet.

II was Betty Mercer who said she
was hungry, and got us switched from
the delicate subject of which was the
thief to the quite as pressing subjecs
of which was to be the cook. Aunt
Selma had slept quietly through the
whole thing-we learned afterward
that she customarily slept on her left
side. which was on her good ear. We
gathered in the Lallas Browns room,
and Jimmy proposed a plan.
I'VE can have anything sent in that
we want" he suggested ~speciously,

some clothes anyhow. Then, we a

why not all the meals?" Max sug-
gested. 81 hope you're not going to be
small about things, Jimmy"
1T ought to be easy" Jim persisted,
ignoring the remark, for nine reason

and make coffee, which is all we need
for breakfast, with some fruit"
Mine of u.s." Dallas said w~ickedly,
looking at Tom HARRISON, who was
out of earshot, why nine of us? /
thought Kit here, otherwise known as
Bella, was going to show off her
housewifely skill"
1t ended, however, with Mr.. Harbi-
son writing out a lot of slips, cook,
scullery maid, chamber maid, parlor
main, furnace man, and butler, and as
that left two people over-we didn't
count Aunt Selina-he added another
furnace man and a trained nurse. Bet
ty Mercer drew the trained nurse slip,
and, of course, she was delighted. It
seems funny now to look back and
think what n dreadful time she really
had, for Aunt Selma took the grippe,
you know, that very day.
II was fate that | should go back
TO that awful kitchen, for Of course

than the coupons on mining stock.
Anne got the bedrooms, and Leila was
parlor maid. 1t was Jimmy who got
the scullery work, but he was quite
crushed by this time, and did not
protest at all.
Max was in a very bad temper: I
suppose he had not had enough sleep
no one had. But he zane over while
the lottery was going on and stood
over me and demanded unpleasantly,
in a whisper, that stop m~asquerading

making a fool of myself-which is the
way he put 1t. And l knew In my
heart hat he was right. and I hated
him for 1t.

them"
He looked at me for a minute, then
he turned on his heel and left me. 1t
looked as though Max might be going
to be difficult.

mother that she was old enough to

she was married before night to a
