slowed by the Company Of Gardeners.

women gardeners in Sussex. and has been
principal Of 1t for twelve years. In re-
Spouse TO the toast at the banquet given
by the company in her honor she said, In
part. addressing the women:
"Will you tell all your friends that we
have big openings for women on the
land? II is the educated. thinking head,
to my mind. that is wanted 10 direct tho
workingman. Other countries are beat
ing us In competition. and | look to you
women to recommend gardening as a
profession for women"
She went on 10 point out that two quite
different training grounds are wanted for
educating women I'm horticulture. I'VE
have already a number OF schools for
such as farmers daughters. but schools
of q different type are wanted to train
well educated women Tor the higher
branches of the profession. 10 act AS ad-
yisory experts and to specialize in land
scape gardening, etc.
In the little Sussex village OF Henheld
is a flower farm run by two young women
who studied at Swanley College, where
gardening and all It's branches are taught.
DESPITE the picturesquoness Of the term
Glover farming" there is much stern
reality with which to contend. Digging
and trenching must be mastered, and the
work of digging by the spit" or spades

oil. Clad In short skirts OF sufficient
width TO allow freedom Of movement. the
novice practses digging until proficient
in that health giving but firing exercise.
Then follow gasshouse work, grading
and hacking for market. botany. rural
economy. chemistry Of the soil. entomol-
ogy. micology and bookkeeping.
When they finished the course they
searched over the greater part OF Sussex
until eventually a piece OF ground that
seemed suitable for their purpose was dis
covered. The soil. after careful examina-
ton having proved satisfactory. the cour-
ageous couple bought some three and d
t,ott acres of freehold land and began
work without delay. 1t must be borne In
mind that this kind OF enterprise cannot

THERE is VIRTUE IN GOTHAM
Manufacturers of This City First to Heed Call OF West
ern Clubwomen for Skirt That Cen
tewomen Can Wear

will wear those Observation-Disclosures 20
skirts? New York clubwomen who We're
approached yesterday seemed 10 think
that the size OF n woman's skirt didn't
matter, 1t was what she did for pure
milk or the sanctity Of tho homo or
woman suffrage or tho uplifting OF the
drama that was Of moment. and not her
skirt.
1T is so small" said Mrs. Mildred
Manly Easton. president Of the Life as
Fine Art club. $50 very small
The skirt?'' inquired the reporter.
mo; the question" said Mrs. Easton
1T is too small question for clubs 70
bother with. when there ara 50 many
great big things for them 10 do.
Personally I've never have any trouhl"
in getting as large skirt as ! Wish.
Yes. do wear tight skirts. but not 50
tight that ! can't board streetcar com
fortably. | make that the test. have
the salcswoman place box or stool
the height Of car step. and II l can
manage that without cracking the skirt
! know It's 4 safe one 10 buy.
THE skirts some women wear are GER
tainly awful. but then some women are
fools anyhow. They're fools about their
homes. and fools about their children. and
fools about men. and OF course they're
fools about clothes. There is no use
agitating or getting excited or trying 70
legislate about women's styles. because
STYLES are always changing anyhow The
desire for something new will doom the
hobble skirt; reformers needn't worry.
eft all comes back 10 the question Of
common sense in women. AS long as
there are fool women there VIII be 1901
clothes. Those women In Minnesota seem
10 have common sense. but | hope they
won't spend it all on skirts especially
now they've got what they wanted.
