One WOMAN'S SUCCESS
AT BACK-TO-FARMING"

For the past few years the man of
our family has had the back the
farm bee buzzing round in his head.
Last year he found a picturesque place
of 40 acres. with an excellent house
on it, situated on the railroad half a
mile from a small village and IL miles
from town. / had reached the point

away from everything and everybody
in the city-to climb hills and breathe
the fresh, pure air of the country,

tleman.
Our family numbers five; my hus
band, my brother, two boys aged five
and seven, and myself. We brought
with us in the way Of live stock a COW,
dog and IL chickens. We now have
in addition cat, two pigs and about
30 frying size chickens. We are not
dependent on hired help, as my brother
does the farming with what help my
husband can give.
But let me get at what | started to

We have tried to live on the products
of the farm. Our grocery bill con-
tains only such items as flour, sugar
meal, lard, coffee, averaging from two
to three dollars a week. Our menu is
varied and wholesome and the health
of the family seems proof that we
have had a balanced ration.

home decorations they would again
become attractive"
At the conclusion of his lecture In
answer to several questions that were
asked from the audience he said the
New York City Hall and the Wool
worth building were great structures.
but the Congressional Library is the
most ornate and has more bad taste
in it than any other building of which
he knew. The statue of Washington
in front of the treasury building on
Wall street is good piece of work,
he said. The great trouble, he said,
was that the architect, the sculptor
and builder did not get together
enough to accomplish a building.
Next Sunday night the meeting will
be under the auspices of the New
York Centre of the Drama League of
America. Charles Ram Kennedy,
dramatic writer of New York city,
will be the principal speaker His
subject will be "Plays and the Pub

fred II. Brown, of the Brooklyn In
stitute, who will speak on 1.-THE

being made to have Mrs. Kennedy,
who is an actress, to speak at the
meeting. At the close of the meeting
an effort will be made to form a
branch of the league in Montclair.

Members of the family remembered
the event with a specially prepared
table Saturday evening. Mr.. Hussey
was born in Broome street. New York
city. on January "a, 1924, his parents
being Massachusetts Quakers. His
recollectfons of his boyhood days are
very precious to him and interesting
to those who listen to them.
Only a few houses, widely scattered,
were about Union Square in his early
life, and a little northward he saw
many farm in operation. On one of
his trips to Philadelphia the time alb
sorbed was considerable. He Travelled
by boat from New York to South
Amboy. and thence by stage the re-
mainder of the route. He we'll re-
members the first trip of the steam
car to Philadelphia. People lined the
roadside almost the entire distance,
who gazed, awe-stricken, at the
diminutive contrivance called rail-
road train.
