Tn their article on "The Revolt oi
 the Farmers Wife" in Harper:
 Bazar for January, Mir. ~and Mrs
 Bruere take up social conditions on
 the farm.
 Here" said Aunt Serepta Ban
 croft, 'is something that will go
 with your old four-poster bed" and
 she pulled out from the blue-painted
 chest under the caves a wonderful
 basket-pattern quilt. "I remember so
 well when we made this" she said.
 Sister Julia was going to be mar ried, and Aunt Bess came over from
 St Helena, and Carrie and Eliza
 beth drove mp from the village, and the Pierce girls and Minnie West came across the valley on horse back, and we quilted all day, and when we finished we threw the quilt over Julia's head. It was her engagement party. There was so much work to be done and when ever there was anything that a lot of us could do together, like quilt ing or apple-paring, or husking, or barn-raising, we made 1t into a party It was the only chance we had, and 1t was lots better than nothing. But afterward-afterward."
 Aunt Serepta threw up exclama- tory hands. She and her five sisters had fled to the city when these plea sures that were work vanished away and left them in a social vacuum. For these old farms of recreation have disappeared. People do not make quilts any more, and few if any pare apples to dry for the winter, and although the modern farmers wife has leisure and plenty of money, no new amusements have come to take their place, and she is revolting against her loneliness and social emptiness"
