tired to make an effort to live any
 longer. Looking back on it now. 1 can-
 not remember ever seeing my mother
 sit with folded hands. They said little
 of their hard lives, these brave women
 who helped build up the plains. They
 accepted it uncomplainingly. When
 our Country club met at our house last
 week, my aunt was there as a guest.
 We have 30 members in our club. Ten |of them drove their own automobiles.
 Al! but two live in modern houses with
 heat and water. We buy the latest thing in foot gear, which is the one sure sign of progress in a farm woman. lone of the members was humorously
 relating the trials of having a frozen
 water pipe mended, and Aunt Kish told of the days when she had to carry water la quarter of mile from creek. My
 aunt is gay old lady. and all the weight of her 70 years has not smoth- cred her resilient disposition. Her hus- band died after their third big wheat lcrop-drank himself to death celebrat- ing it in Kansas City--and she has had the first real time of her life ever since
 When she came to Kansas in the early fifties, she drove a team herself from St. Louis with a 10-months' old baby on the seat beside her. She and her husband took up claim 40 miles from a settlement. Wandering Indians were their only neighbors. and terrified her daily by their company. When they had been here less than year her hus band returned to Illinois and remained three months. She was left alone to look after the crops. shuck the corn, and take care of the place. While he was gone her third baby was born. Her only help was an Indian squaw, who had chanced in to beg loaf of S~ead and remained to help the young mother in her extremity.
 We didn't think anything of it. said my aunt We were too busy while lit was happening to think about it. We went through a lot those days; but, land of Goshen! we are making up for Iit now, with our furnaces, and our gaso- line engines for the churns and wash ling machines, and our automobiles"
