THE RIPENINe OF CREAM

By the ripening of cream is meant
the changes it undergoes from the time
Of separation until it is added to the
churn. Upon these changes depends
very largely the quality of butter as
regards texture and flavor. The tenn
perature at which cream is held deter
mines the firmness or texture, while the
flavor is dependent upon the by-products
from the bacterial growth.
The purpose of ripening cream is
fundamentally that of giving the butter
the desired flavor and aroma, but in
addition it increases the ease and eff
cheney of churning. Cream is ripened
in one of two ways:
First, it sours or ripens as result of
the action of bacteria which are nor
mally present in milk and cream; or,
Second, it ripens as result of action
of certain kinds of bacteria which are
added in what is termed a starter"

as influenced by her desire to be chosen
as the secretary.
Miss Bresette debated seriously wheth-
er she should accept the position Of
secretary for several weeks after she
was Informed that the place was hers
if She would take it, and at times was
at the point of announcing that she pre-
ferred to continue as one Of the states
factory inspectors. She was much more
interested in seeing the Commission SO
organized as to make its work sue
cessfu than she was in landing a lob
for herself
Miss Bresette was appointed as a fac
tory inspector in 1913, after the legis
lature had decreed that Kansas should
employ woman to inspect factories
where women, girls and children work.
and look after the enforcement of the
child labor law. She was appointed as
Democrat, and be 1t known that she
Is a Democrat and knows why she is a
Democrat. But there was no trace of
politics in the way she took hold of
her work. and beyond any question she
accomplished more in short two years
than has ever been accomplished by any
one else connected with the State De-
partment of Labor and Industry. and
that has been a nightly useful state
department too
Miss Bresette was a teacher in the
public schools at Topeka before she be-
came identified with the Department of
Labor and she was a successful teacher,
as she has been successful state off
Ger. She has a ready sympathy with
all sorts and conditions of people. and
her success in the last two years has
been in large measure due to the com
mon sense way in which she adapts
herself to the level of whatever class of
people her work is with, a quick sense
Of humor and a consistent determination
not to take herself and her ideas too
seriously, however seriously she may
take her work

dustries of Kansas, and no one else has
50 firm a place in the confidence and es-
TEEN of the working women and girls
of the state. She is not dilettante,
actuated by vague yearnings to be doing
wonderful things for the submerged
classes, but rather an active, practical,
earnest young woman who realizes that
a great many things of which working
women and girls complain can be cor
rected through education of working
women and girls themselves. And she
undertakes to help educate them, not
by talking down at them but by getting
down and talking to them.
In her new position Miss Bresette will
need all of the tact, good humor and
ability with which she is so richly en-
lowed. 1t is a big job to set out to
fairly regulate the hours of work, wages
and working conditions of the women
and girls Of the state so that the women
and girls will be satisfied, and at the
same time avoid injury to the industries
of the state that viii bring all the en-
ployers out in opposition to her plans
But if any Kansas woman can do it,
Miss Bresette can. So Governor Capper
and the members Of the Industrial Com
mission are to be congratulated on Sc
curing the services Of an active ear
nest bright young woman who will
strive nightly to accomplish something
worth while, without losing her temper
or poise, and who will not bore every
one with whom she comes in contact by
assuming that the whole burden of the
states welfare rests on her shoulders

Farmer Browns Boy Finds
Mrs. Grouse.

Help is coming! Help is coming"
cried Sammy Jay as soon as he was
near enough for poor Mrs. Grouse to
hear him. But Mrs. Grouse was too
worn out by her struggles to be cheer
ed even by such good news as this
Indeed, she hardly understood what
Sammy was saying. You see she had
hung her head down for so long that
1t seemed as II her head would burst.
She had given up all hope. She felt
sure that she would hang there by one
leg from the cruel snare In which she
had been caught until she either
starved to death or some one found
her and killed her. So in spite of Sam
my's efforts to cheer her she wasn't
cheered. She knew that Sammy meant
well, but she couldn't see any way in
which 1t was possible for any Of her
friends and neighbors to help her. She
felt that she was quite beyond help.
Sammy Jay was much excited He
was SO excited he couldn't keep still
a minute. He kept flying from tree
to tree. back and forth and round and
round. all the time watching down the
hill. Presently he caught a glimpse of
. little spot Of red. It was coming
nearer and growing bigger every min
ute nc knew that It was Reddy Fox.
Help Is coming and 1t is most here!"
he cried.
Mrs. Grouse. swinging at the end of
the wire which fastened her to the
top of a little tree, was almost too
weak to lift her head to look But she
did finally. All she saw was Reddy
Fox running swiftly up the hill quite
as If he intended to keep right on and

that Sammy had managed to arouse in

the little brush fence which had led
Mrs. Grouse into this dreadful trouble.
He knew what 1t meant. Yes. sir. he
knewl Once upon a time he had built
just such little brush fences himself.
That was before he had learned to love
his little Wild neighbors and to under
stand them.

he exclaimed. I'd Just like to catch
them at 1t! I'd give them a piece Of my

Coats With Deep Yokes.

While all plaids will be in fashion.
black and white will be chosen by the
majority of women as safer than the
others. Knowing this, the designers
have used a good deal of originality in
putting together acceptable coats in
this design.
The sketch shows one Of the best.
It is a coat that can be worn through
out the entire country season, which
means that in all small towns 1t will
be acceptable. and it may be worn over
thin frock. The material is a black
and white check; the width Of the skirt
is ample: the belt is broad and placed
at the normal waist line: the feature

and that attention has resulted in orig
inality. effective styles and a growing
inclination for the topcoat.
With the exception of the black vel
vet and fur coats that were quite fash
ionable throughout the winter and
which became quite tiresome also, the
universal trend of this garment has
been toward the kind of thing one
wears to the race track. 1t seems
strange that when racing went out OF
Paris and came back to New York the
French designers laid stress on racing
togs. They may have caught a mentai
wireless from this country and acteo
on its suggestion. However, the truth
is that a greater number of race track
clothes, especially coats, have been Of
fered to the American woman IN the
last two years than ever before.
Although a wide variety Of colors
has been introduced into the topcoats
of the winter, the acceptance of these
has produced the old problem of har-
monizing a top covering with several
gowns that must be worn beneath.
Even the neutral shades of leather,
beige and stone gray did not assiml-
late easily with frocks of black, blue
or stripes. Even those women who put
large amount of money into their
choice of an admirable topcoat. believ-
ing 1t would serve all needs at all
times. found that its use was encom-
passed by limitations. Probably for
this reason the designers have seen ut
to bring out the new topcoats In
stripes and checks, rather than in
solid co1ors. One can wear plaid de-
sign with nearly every gown. espe-
cially if the plaid is black and white.

but one of fresh air and steady exer-
else.
Women who lead a routine urban life
have begun to wonder II all the fash
ions are going away from them. They
may insist to their dressmakers that
they do not go in for exercise of any
kind with or without music. and that
they want clothes that do not suggest
a life they do not lead: but the inva-
riable answer is that if one does not
90 in for sport, at least one must wear
the fashions that are designed for it.
The designers evidently have that
phase Of American life in mind at all
times.
