WORKED NEW VACATION IDEA
Western Woman "Hired Out" to Her
Husband, and Is Enthusiastic
Over the Result.

The following letter was written by
woman who lives on farm in Wyo-
ming:
To begin with, then, I'm a ranch
er's wife, and was a farmers daughter.
so I know what it means to get up
early and work TIL late. I've read 8
great deal about vacations, but not
much about vacations for the woman
on the ranch
Most women who live on ranch
know something about horses, and can
harness and drive team. Now every
one knows that to people who have
always worked with their hands idle
ness is not rest, and that recreation
comes quicker and surer from change
of work; so I hired out to my hus-
band

here In the west men are scarce and
wages are high, so | hired girl to do
the homework and take care of the
children, while I donned pair of
overails, jumper, broad-brimmed
hat and a pair of stout gloves, and
went forth to take my vacation.
"The first day I moved, and the
first night kicked levers and drove
horses all night. l wasn't so enthusi-
astic the second morning, but moved
some more, and raked some, and that
night | slept; and I slept every night
that followed during the harvest, for

4 was decidedly better woman,
for had gained Ave pounds of flesh,
stronger nerves, harder muscles, and
coat of tan that hasn't all worn off
yet.
IT told the girl that was not to be
consulted about anything, so I shifted
the whole responsibility Of the house
hold and did just as the men did;
washed. ate my meals, and then rest
ed till tine to start to work again.
my girl cost me four dollars per
week and made $12, which left me a
clear gain of eight dollars per week
in cash, besides the other good things.
felt so rested when I took up the
reins of the household again that
what had before been task was now
a pleasure. Really, it did seem good
to cook a meal once more, and / had
not thought it possible '-Woman's

with enthusiasm when their possibili
ties for the bridesmaid are considered
The ambition of the bride for original
touches in the costuming of her maids
has any number Of good chances for
fulfillment.
Chiffon taffeta for quaint, bouffant
gowns has sheen like pearls. Crepes
and voiles are made in the same pat
terms. Nothing could be prettier
Laces and nets of the flmiest sorts
are incredibly low in price, since they
are the product of machine work plus
the brains of their designers.
The smart bridesmaids costume
shown here is made of chiffon taffeta
in the palest of pink tones, with bout
FAINT nip drapery and a wide girdle
which falls below the waist line. The
sleeves are merely fall of wide shad-
ow lace, and there is a small chiffon
vest with lace over it at the front.
Eight yards of silk in the average

get-me-nots and button roses is tucked
in at the waist by way Of a finishing

The hat is a gold-colored leghorn

vet between them and big pink rose
with its foliage mounted at TIE front.
This combination of color is very

BIG FIRE AT WINTHROP HARBoR
Home of Geo. Kirk, President of vii
lage, Destroyed Sunday Afternoon.

Winthrop Harbor had one of the big.
gest fires in its history on Sunday af-
ternoon when the home of George Kirk.
president of the village and located N
the hill just north of the bridge lead
ing to the village, was completely de.
stroyed. The fire is supposed to have
been caused by sparks from the CHM
ney. Mr.. Kirk was not at home at the
time of the fire. His wife and daugh-
ter with the aid of the neighbors, man
aged to save some of the furniture in
the lower rooms of the house, but that
in the upper rooms was destroyed by
the blaze. A volunteer fire depart
ment organized among the people of
the village, made an effort to save the
house, but the blaze spread with such
rapidity that the FORK of these peo-
pie was without avail. The loss is es.
timated at between four and FIVE thous-
and dollars and i is partially covered
by insurance. The Kirk home was one
of the most modern homes on the lake
shore road and it had been rebuilt
only short time ago.

HIT BY VAGRANT BULLET.
James DeBartello at Work in Tannery
Yard Pinked by Bullet on Sunday.

James DeBartello, residing at 572
Middle street and working as yard
man at the plant of the n. R. Allen 5
Sons Company, was shot in the left
hip on Sunday afternoon. He was at
work in the plant at the time and it
lis not known where the bullet came
from or how the shooting occurred.
The bullet appeared to have been fred
from a twenty-five calibre rifle and it
entered the feshy portion of the hip
causing bad flesh wound. DIR. c. H.
Gephart was called to dress the wound
and later DeBartello was removed TO
his home. The police made an inves-
tigation but they were unable to find
any one who had been shooting in the
neighborhood. 1t is thought that the
injury of DeBartelIo was purely ac-
cidental.

THE story of children's hats used to
be a brief one until specialists
turned their attention to this particu-
lar kind of millinery. Now 1t is long
and fascinating and much more worth
while than ever before.
Looking to the ideas designed for
grown-ups for inspiration, and trans
1ating them into forms suited to little
wearers, has given us the greatest
variety of adorable bonnsts and hats
ever made ready for spring. BY spe-
ciatEing, designers have broadened
the field and are demonstrating that
1t was heretofore neglected. They
have created discrimination and dis
cernment by placing before mothers a
really wonderful array Of Juvenile
hats.
From the little lady of three years,
who looks like an angel in everything
put on her, to ''the awkward age"
when the girl rs harder to suit than
gAe ever was or ever viii be again,
the designers Of this millinery have
considered the needs OF children. This
gives the little ones a chance to ex-
ercise their tastes and preferences.
and 1T is amusing and surprising to
ind that they have very decided opin-
ions as to what they like or don't
like.
For a little girl OF six two models
are shown in the picture. The bon
net might be worn by Younger child

There is sash Of wide, soft mes

hemp in all the bright colors and
faced with partial facing of black

ed into the brim. 1t is trimmed with

AT first glance it seems almost a re-
plica of sailors made for grown-ups.
But there are little differences. The

Had Given Him Wrong Banner.


Charles R. Holden told the following
story at banquet given to some law
yers and their wives at Chicago:
"a prominent educator of a co-edu-
cational institution recently told with
evident appreciation the following
experience of a prominent professor
of a celebrated university in New York
city:
"The professor is blessed with par
ticularly energetic and progressive
wife, who is a leader in the suffra-
gette movement. When the recent
demonstrative procession was organ
lied in New York shc insisted upon
the professor adding his influence to
the movement by participating in the
procession. He yielded anG se1 out.
The wife's prominence in the move
ment gave her a place in the review
ing stand and she was MORALLY chag-
rined to see the professor, shame
faced, struggling along, carrying his
hammer in such a dropping and care
less way that she could not even see
what was upon it.
cat the first opportunity her re-
proaches fell fierce and fast on the
professor, who finally managed to
break in with, But, my dear, my dear,
you really must not blame me; I had
an awful time. What do you think
that banner was? Imagine! 1t was
a most horrible cartoon Of whisky
soaked and bedraggled bum with the
motto, "This man can vote, why can't
I?"'"
