THE WOMAN
WHO FUSSES
How She UpSets EUerybodu
By
ELLEN ADATR

she raises her commotlon The sight Is
pathetic. but, at the same time, decidedly
entertaining.
She rushes along the platform dragging
sundry small infants by the hand, and
carrying numerous large packages. pre-
sumably supposed to contain nourlshing
supplies for the day Her voice has a high,
plaintlve note, and never ceases for one
single instant.
rs this really the right train for SUCH
and-such placer" she is calling out dis
tractedly, rs 1t the excursion train7
How many stations does Il stop at? How
long does It take? Is II safest to ride in
the centre OF the train? When does the
return train leave? How many hours
does one get by the scar" etc, etc. nd
nauseum.
The husband of the fussy woman is very
greatly to be pltied. For on all and every
occasion she unwlttngly makes him look
the fool he is not. He hates to SEQ his
wife make a laughing-stock of herself and
the whole family, but he is nearly always
powerless to stop her. For the cure of
fussiness IN women is exceedingly diff
cult. They won't adnht their fussIness,
you see.
However heard of one husband who
successfully cured his wife OF fussing. He
hit upon a splendid scheme to pay her
back in her own coin BY nature, he was
the mildest OF men. 1t literally wasn't
in him to rouse up commotion. But II
certainly was in his wlfoi That was the
trouble. She was the fusslest creature
imaginable.
One summer, when they were going
away for their annual Eortnight's visit TO
the sea, the wife he'd been particularly
trying. For about month previous 10
tho great event. she had done nothing
but fuss. The poor husband was quite cx-
hausted and worn out.
When they got down to the railroad sta
ton half OF the luggage got lost. This
was the husbands opportunity. lie didn't
give his wife time to begin, but started in
fusslng himself in the most wholehearted
way. Really, he carried the thing to ex-
cess. He stormed UP and down the plat
form, he swore at the porters. and hgura-
lively speaking, he raised Cain.
This gentle mood continued all through
the journey. He fused the whole day.
Not only that, but he fused for the whole
of the first three days at the seaside He
refused to allow either his wife or his
children out of his sight for single in
stant. They all really had a dreadful
time.
But this performance had one thorough
ly good effect. 1t cured the wife abso-
lutely and for evermore of "fusslng." So
the efforts of the far-seeIng husband were
not made in vain.

This fussiness is very bad for the chill

and children soon become infected with
that sort of thing. The woman who per-

IN THE GARDEN By JULIA coNLEY

Many people have tho mistaken idea
that to have dooryard garden Is an
expensive luxury and live on each year
knowing nothing of the pleasure It Is to
be able to pick baskets full of blossoms
for your house and to pass some on to
your nelghbors and friends.
Let me help you start your garden and
tell you how you can have a mass OF
bloom by the month of June.
Select your little patch of ground
a sunny spot in your yard-along the
fence, or close to the house, plan a
garden about four and one-half feet
wide-ts length, of course, depending on
your space
First prepare the soil-dlg out your
garden about two feet deep and put
some well-rotted manure on bottom;
now spade the dirt back over this, and
wait week or two before planting,
hoping in the meantime for Few show
ers, which help enrich the soil, and then
you are ready for planting.
Remember, this Is to be garden OF
annuals; so that you can have n Contin-
uous bloom all summer.

color arrangement, which always makes
