French Woman Farmers.

Among the war recompenses that
will be handed down with greatest
pride from generation to generation In
French families are the diplomas, now
framed and hanging on the walls OF
many farmhouse attesting how the
peasant woman and farmers wives,
widows and daughters overcame war
difficulties.
The actual cash returns will equal n
record year in time of peace, though,
excepting oats and potatoes, the yield
was below the average.
This country of Brie, which Is gen.
orally second only TO the Beauce in
wheat production and first of all for
oats, stands at the head of both, yet
this crop was sown almost entirely
by women, girls and boys too young
or men too old to shoulder the rifle.
German prisoners Of war, volunteers
from the camps of interned civilian
Austrians and Germans, a few terri
torials on leave. a good many Partisan
schoolboys and. last. but not least, the
American self-blnder. helped with the
harvest; but with the exception OF
the self-binder. the help was available
only In scattered spots.

There are short, full sleeves of the
net, with n ruching of frayed taffeta
at the top Of the hem, making a pretty
decoration. The sleeves are set to the
bodice with band of lace insertion.
The taffeta OvcrbOdicc, which Is
merely Il very wide girdle, is adorned
with little sprays of embroidery.
Aside from this almost babyiSh decora-
tion, the frOck is allowed two frivolous
touches. One Of them is bit of net
drapcry ut one side, and the other Is
Il tiny bouquet suspended by baby rib
bon from the bodice. OF course they
have no excuse for being-cXcept that

Any Of the sheer cotton dress goods,

kind. But it is best To be perfect

than to risk experimenting.

Andrew Carr agreed TO take younl

office all upset. If she wants to marry
him let her stay home and make
home for him. If he persists I'm his
fool notions | suppose I'll have to part
with him" And the old man heaved
sigh Of regret.
Fred Erskine had begun work on a
very important case. 1t seemed rath-
er strange to him that Carr had en-
trusted him with such q big under
taking, only stipulating that he was to
be occasionally advised as to the prog
ress Of the affair, and consulted IL

He confided the matter to Edna Fer

of his career he confided everything.

Never mind. dear" she said consol-
ingly, after the manner of women.
though her own heart sank within her.
"Well bide our time. 1t will come"
Then Fred kissed her, and wondered
II there ever was another such a girl
IN the world.
Edna became so interested In the
case, she urged him to let her help
him, and so instead Of the ordinary
talk of two young people very much
In love with each other the evenings
were given up to points of common
law and Jurisprudence. The young
man became more and more impressed
with the clear thinking and logical
brain OF his counselor.
One day he confided to Edna :. II

A few days after this, Edna received
n telephone call to come To the Ben

with slight accident, and wished to
see her. Almost distracted. the girl
hurried to the hospital. She found the
