and many of them have but slight
acquaintance with the problems that
country women have TO meet
The farmers institute has been en-.
deavoring to organize women's insti.
tutes or clubs in the rural districts
partly for social purposes. and partly
for improvement in their home life
and domestic duties. Last year sep
arate Institutes for women we're held
in eight states TO the number OF 720.
These States wer Michigan, North
Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania.
South Carolina. Tennessee. Utah. and
Wisconsin. They cover a period OF
9l6 days. occupying 1875 halliday SEES
sions. The total attendance was 49,
116, an advance over the previous
year OF AIS Institutes, 796 sessions.
and 30.S14 in attendance. II is plain
that II the forty other States had or
ganized Institutes OF this character
there Is every reason 10 believe that
they would have been equally success
tul and that their progress would have
been equally remarkable. There Is
need for general awakening TO the
opportunity that the institute affords
for women ia the country districts.
and your committee could be OF great
service in stimulating effort in the
diretcior of organizing these local
clubs In the rural districts.
In the province OF Ontario. Canada
there were held in the year ending
June 90. 1912. G.976 women's insti-
tutes, with total attendance OF ia.
3i2. The average per session in at
tendance was twenty-five This won.
derful growth OF the women's insti-
tute movement in that province is a
demonstration OF the appreciation OF
farm women of efforts in the direstion
OF supplying them with better social
privileges and intellectual advantages.
Ny hope is that our women's or

When Your Child Gets
the Whooping Cough

Can the mother do anvthing to re-
lieve the paroXysms of whooping
cough?
There are various means OF re-
lieving the intense discomfort caused
by the attacks of coughing in this
disease. No one thing is certain,
but they should all be tried. Inhala-
lions of steam, either plain hot water
or some medieated vapor, should be
tried As the child should not he al
lowed to go out directly after an in
halation of this kind it should be
given at his naptime or at bedtime
A regular Group kettle is the best
way to give these limitations. but
sometimes a medicated liquid burned
in the room is helpful.
Medicines are sometimes quite help
full, but they must he ordered by the
doctor and not prescribed by the
mother or her neighbors. Injections
of serum have been tried and in some
cases have no doubt helped, says the
Ladies' Homo journal.
The loss of food caused by the Sc
we're attacks of coughing followed ny
vomiting is often a serious problem
and one which the mother is usually
called upon to meet. In the case OF
young infants the bottle may be
given at the close of an attack of
coughing, even if it is not the regular
mealtime, If the preceding meal has
been vomited. 1t is probable that
at least part of this meal will be alb
sorbed before another attack occurs.
In the case of older children where
there is great deal Of vomitinf
small quantities of easily digested
solids often will remain down better
than larger quantities of fluids.
Scraped beef sandwiches, junket,
soft baked custard, finely cut OF
scraped lamb chop or white meat of
chicken will many times be retained
better than milk and should be given
at the close of a paroXysm If the pre-
ceding meal has been Vomited. If
the child can be kept out in the open
air the cough will usually be lighter,
but If there is much bronchitis this
cannot be done to any great extent,
A change of air is often helpful in
shortening the disease. Usually i
tub bath may be given daily unless
bronchitis is present when a sponge
bal tn is better.

For Baby's Carriage

A very beautiful carriage robe for
the baby may be made of silk warp
flannel, decorated with an eight-inch
wreath of pink roses and green
leaves, cross stitched in the centre.
The robe should be lined with a soft
white silk.
The edges of the lining and robe
can either be bound with a narrow
satin ribbon or overhanded together
The lining can be applied by seam
ing it to the top on the wrong side
and then turning 1t.
The cross stitched wreath is made
over canvas, which is pulled out a
thread at a time after the work is
completed, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
When making a robe Of this kind
the embroidery should be done with
out soiI'ng the robe. If the flannel,
excepting the part being worked, is
kept covered with a piece of clean
muslin 1t will not become soiled.
The canvas protects the part being
embroidered, and after the work is
pressed it will look perfectly fresh
and clean.

MANY OF THE NEW SILKS ARE WONDERFULLY TRANSPAR-
EMF YET DURABLE

Sweet, fashioned patterns and
colors mark the new silks this season;
the violent shades and large designs
that were predicted late last season
have not met with the expected popu-
larity. Foulards are being used in
quaint patterns, such as sprigs and
leaves, tiny ovals, pin stripes, cris-
crosses and charming black and white
designs. Faille is a favored silk for
afternoon dresses and for blouses and
evening wear there are some very at
tractive chiffons, sheer to degree,
but remarkably durable. Some of
these figured and checked chlffons
might easily have been used In Marie
Antoinettes day, they are so quaint
and old-fashioned looking: these are
used for draperies and panniers
mostly, although now and then a
blouse is made up in one of them

Stove Polish" Ribbon

The new lacquered ribbon (com-
monty termed stove polish ribbon) is
the novelty of the hour, says the Dry
Goods Economist. This extreme idea,
recently introduced by prominent
Paris milliner, has caught on in this
market with a vim, especially in high
novelty lines. 1t is particularly sue
cessful as a garniture for the new
high-luster straw hats in black and
in bronze.
Black MORE is q general favorite
with practically all classes of trade.
In spite of the unusual prominence
given to the lacquered and black
MORE varieties, however. colored
moires, failles and velvet are all rep
resented. Old blue shades on the paon
order are among the leaders.
In the fancy ribbon field Romans
and plajds continue to the fore An
increased interest Is shown In dark
warp prints.

Variants Adventures
VOL. l.. NO. "a.

Varlan was an Arabian nomad, who
had never seen the inside of any busy
city and eagerly joined one of his
friends to make their living in Amer
lea on being promised a place in a
circus by its manager, who had Wis
tied Arabia. They saved enough
money for steerage passage to New
York city, where the manager was to
send them a weeks pay in advance
to keep themselves. When they ar
rived at the American metropolis they
marveled and wondered at the sights,
such a marked contrast to their des-
ert homeland, and, when an elevated
train rushed overhead and q bus
around the corner, followed by yelp-
ing dog, Varlan nearly went crazy
with excitement, while some lockers
on grinned when he sat down on the
sidewalk on a crate of eggs. They
went into a moving-picture show on
hearing that there was to be picture
of Arabia. They got along better
than the average foreigner, as they
were dressed in New York clothes
Both spoke English After being in
the show for five or six minutes they
rushed out, having seen themselves
in the picture of home-l life in Arabia,
having previously worked while In
Arabia for the company. This great
city seemed to them a place of I'M
speakable magic, the trains, tubes,
boats, electricity. etc, completely
Fascinated them. They had selected a
house to board and received money in
the evening from the circus manager,
as promised.
After supper they visited a museum
and an elevator ride frightened them
out of half their seven senses.
The next morning they got used to
the elevator and rode to the top of a
skyscraper, where Varlan's friend, in
his fright at being so high, dropped
his hat, which just missed the top OF
q lamp post.
After various accidents, such as be-
ing carried to a wrong destination,
they reached Pittsburgh, no more
green to city ways. In Pittsburgh
they Joined the circus, which seemed
the happiest day OF their lives.
