A SMART SHIRTWAIST

Boys are sure to like this shirt
waist, for it is essentially masculine
in it's suggestion. The box plat at
the front and the tucks at each side
are quite like the shirts worn by
grown men and the perfectly plain
sleeves also are mannish. At the
wrists these sleeves are made with
openings and overlaps and can be
finished either with rolled-oyer or
straight cuffs. White linen is the ma
terial shown here, and it is one of the
best and handsomest for such use,
but the boys who are going to play
ball or enter into such sports will like
them made of percale, madras and
such simple, sturdy materials. There
iss neckband that finishes the neck
edge and over this can be adjusted
the collar illustrated or any preferred
one. The waist-band is supplied with
buttons. by means of which it can be
buttoned to any trousers.
For the ten-year size the waist will
require three yards of material p or
rs yards SO inches wide.
The May Manton pattern of the
shirtwaist 1882 is cut in sizes for boys
from to u years of age. 1t will be
mailed to any address by the fashion
department of this paper on receipt
OF ten cents.

There are some vocations for which
Women are born cooks, born nurses,
and 1t must be admitted born
chicken raisers For many reasons
women take to chicken raising as
naturally as duck takes to water
or turkey takes to the woods.
On the old-fashioned farms the
chicken department was left entire
ly TO the women. There was a rea-
son for this, although perhaps
the farmer nor his wife ever stopped
to put the reason into words. 1t was
such a well-understood, long-estab-
liished custom that no one ever
thought of the why or wherefore,
but as an actual fact the good wife
raised the chickens because she could
raise them better than her husband,
says Woman's World.
| Now there are male cooks-the
great artists generally are men. To-
day there are well-known chicken
farmers-the best-known chicken
raisers in the country are men. But
considering the average man and the
average woman we must admit that
temperamentally woman is better
fitted for chicken raising than her
husband or brother.
In the old days the wife had a
monopoly on the knowledge of chick
ems. She handled the chicken de-
partment of the farm because she
knew chickens from their feet up.
The farmer might have been able to
acquire an equal amount of wisdom
but because of the pressure OF his
work or dissemination he didn't &C
quire such knowledge.
This knowledge of chicken lore was
gained from experience rather than
from reading. In the present day OF
chicken libraries the man also is be-
coming wise; but woman always mas
been fitted by nature for chicken rails
ing. Take the business from the start
to finish and you will see what
mean.
A woman is patient. Watch any
wife while her husband is making
fool of himself and deny this II you
can. For instance, she will set a hen,
but the hen won't stay set. Mrs. Bid
dy wanders away to pastures anew,
leaving the eggs to spoil. A man
would give Madame Hen swift xxx
or knock her in the head with a club
for this performance, but a woman
calmly will set another hen and then
find out why the first one didn't re-
main on the nest.
Woman is better mother than a
man--which hardly can be denied.

WELL, children. are we ready to

first place you must choose
the time TO go into the kitchen when
it viii be the least trouble to mother
or the cook. In fact. you are going
to be a help and not d nuisance ana
hindrance. This is one of the rooms
in the house where there must be
perfect order; that is. have your
recipe pasted or printed or written
on a card and thumb-tacked on the
wall, where you can see to read it..
When you and mother have decided
just what you are going to make
look the recipe over and be sure all
the materials are in the kitchen TO
make it. When ready TO begin get
out all the necessary utensils first,
then the materials, and as fast as
used put into the sink TO soak in
cold water. As soon as the cooking
s finished or the baking in the oven,
wash the soiled dishes and put them
and all materials used away, Just
where you found them. Leave the
kitchen as you found il, and neither
mother nor cook will object to your
working in it.

Raise Chickens for Pin Money

her heart goes out to them as il does
| to any baby creature. To look after
the tender little things is labor of
love for her. Some men also have this
feeling for downy chicks, but all
women have it.
Women are masters-or mistresses
of detail. They will watch the
small things in a business better than
man. A woman-of course there are
eKceptions-can run small school
store, stationery store, candy store,
or any business where the small de-
tails are of prime Importance, but
when she gets into the bigger things
she Is lost. A man looks after de-
tails only under protest. He looks
ahead to the big things and is i'm
patient with the petty present both
ers.
The chicken business is a business
of small details. From the time the
chickens are Matched until they are
sold there is a constant succession
of TRIES to be looked after and look
ing after these trifies properly is
what makes the business profitable.
A week old chicken dies. A woman
| wants to know why it dies and, learn
ing why. saves the next one. A man
says, "Oh, pshawl" or something
stronger, what is one little chicken
more or less?''
Mother hen hides her nest and the
eggs spoil or the rats get them. A
woman tries to prevent such a thing
happening again. A man doesn't give
a whoop.
Pile all these details on top of each
other and you have the chicken busi-
ness.
Generally-a woman is better bar
gamer in small matters than man.
From the shell to the market
woman naturally is fitted for ham
ding chickens better than a man.
