CITY GIRLS LEARN FARMING
After Period of Training They Are Taking Places of Men Who Are
 Needed in War Work.

There is a 200-acre farm in Vest chester county, New York, where 30 girls are learning to he farmers. As soon as they have knowledge of any kind of work they hire out to the neighboring farmers for 20 cents an hour, to take the place of the men, who are needed for other kind of work in this busy war time.
 An employment bureau to supply women for this kind of work in New York state is being established by the standing committee on agriculture of the mayors committee of women on national defense. and 1t has been proved that there Is not only demand but supply of woman farm workers.
 Some of the girls at the Westchester camp are college girls and they all wear blue shirts and overalls, except the dIeticfans from Teachers college, who wear white. They get their board md rooms at the Westchester farm while learning and 30 cents . day.

Briqadier General at Twenty.Eioh.

Brigadier General at Twenty-Eight.
 The war has seen some rapid pro- motions, but probably the most rapid is that of B. c. Freyburg, who, at twenty-eight years old, has been gazet- ted temporary brigadier general. Born in New Zealand, Freyberg was twice wounded in Gallipoli, where he won the distinguished service order for swimming ashore in the Gulf of Saros and was mentioned In dispatches deal- ing with the evacuation of that place. He won the Victoria Cross when lead ing the naval brigade at Beaucourt last November, was wounded four times during that battle and was in- jured at Antwerp.

French Music.

If democracy means something diff ferent to us here in the United States from what it means to Englishmen, 1t is because of our ancient friendship with France and because through that friendship we~have learned to respond to her ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity as Englishmen do not. So it is to France that we owe, and are likely in increasing measure in the future to owe, progress in the appreci- alton. in the performance, and in the creation of music.-Exchange.

 Sunday" in grunting protest, set ting lower under the covers.
 But, dear, it's almost nine," sitting up with disturbing energy
 "Only day I can sleep" shouldering back the bedclothes. Pull down those shades"
 Reluctantly Helen darkened the room and again lay down. The shrill- ing sparrows and the slit of yellow light beneath the shades were allur- ing notes of the sun-bathed morning.
 From down the street came the dangling rhythm of hand organ. Strident as was the tune, somehow it suggested a white-sanded beach, q deep blue, sun-glinted sea and the murmurous rush of frothing waves.
 What wonderful day for an out ing! But Warren's heavy regular breathing discouraged her holiday spirit. That he had had hard week, she knew. and Sunday was the only morning he could be in bed.
 For while she forced herself to lie still. Then, finding sleep impossible, noiselessly she slipped into her dress ing room.
 twill I start breakfast, ma'am?" Dora was dusting the dining room.
 "No, not yet! MT. Curtis wants to sleep"
 Yielding to an impulse to dress up to the day, Helen got out her daint- fest summer gown-a sheer blue or gandie with flounces of white net.
 Another lifting hand organ drew her to the window. Leaning out she drank in the sparkling air. Baby carriages and nursemaids, well-dressed strolling churchgoers and speeding motors filled with outing parties gave Sun- day festivity to the street.
 A quarter past ten, glancing back at the clock on her dresser. Warren must get up! It was Dora's afternoon off-she would want to get through with the work.
 Entering the darkened bedroom, Helen drew up the shades, laid out Warren's clean underclothes and q freshly pressed light gray suit. Then, perchlng on the cage or the bed, she smoothed his rumpled hair with a persuasive, Dear, it's after ten!"
 But Warren, in deep Sunday morn- ing coma. breathed on in audible con- tent.
 Sweetheart" laying her cool cheek against his sleep-heated face, you must get up"
 "Uh-h?" turning over to escape her disturbing caresses.
 "It's Dora's Sunday off-we musn't make her too late."
 "Ehy" yawningly. Then as the glar- ing sunlight blinded his sleep-blurred eyes: "Put down those shades. Don't want any breakfast"
 Look who's come to help get you up" as Pussy Purr-Mew, leaping on

 Once upon a time goats were more numerous in the city than they are now, and those that still dwell among us are usually seen in the outlying parts of the city.

Mrs. Stevens, feeling Helen's light pongee coat. "Will you be warm enough coming back tonight?"
 Tonight! Why, wei. be back be- fore dinner?"
 Before dinner We're to dine out therel We won't get back much be- fore midnight"
 "oh," blankly. q thought we were only going out for luncheon"
 Well, now, don't begin to worry about Warren. Do him good to have lonely Sunday. You can phone him from the club, if you want to-"
 Two Hundred and Thirty-fifth street, Two Hundred and Thirty sixth street, Two Hundred and Thirty seventh street. The last subway sta tion was at Two Hundred and Forty second. She could get out there-and be back home in less than an hour!
 Not until midnight What would Warren do for dinner? Where would he go? How would he spend the eve hing? Would he stay around home and read in lonely dreariness?
 What If he did want to lie in bed? Sunday was his one day to rest. And his work was so nerve-wearing, he re- quired sleep.
 Two Hundred and Thirty-ninth street-only three more blocks Lean- ing forward, she laid detaining hand on Mir. Stevens shoulder. a+ second street-Im going back on the subway! Oh, I know I'm foolish, but I can't leave Warren all day"
 A storm of protest followed this an- nouncement. Mrs. Stevens, exercis. ing the privilege of an old friend, de- nounced in scathing sarcasm Helen's lack of independence.
 "Yes, I know" helplessly, "but ] wouldn't enjoy 1t. I'd be perfectly wretched all day-I know I would"
 From the subway kiosk she waved them laughing good-by. Almost lightheartedly she ran down the steps to waiting express.
 It was not quite twelve when she reached their apartment. Noiselessly she closed the door and tiptoed through the hail. Warren should sleep as long as he wanted-but when he woke he would find her there.
 Passing the dining room, she stopped in startled amazement. Dora was clearing the breakfast table.
 "Yes, ma'am, Mir. Curtis had his breakfast, but he didn't eat nothin'- just a cup of coffee and bit ot toast"
 The next second Helen had darted into the library where Warren, in his shirt sleeves, his hands in his pockets, stood staring moodily out the window.
 It was only in that first glinting sec. ond that she saw his face light up. Then he shook the ashes from his cigar with a careless, Hello, kitten, what brought you back?"
 "Oh, they won't get home before midnight! They're to have dinner out there-and I-I couldn't stay that long without you!'' Drawing him to chair she crept into his lap. T made them let me out at the last subway sta. tiOn."

 "Oh, I'd love it!" excitedly. "Pd love it! !"

the bed, sniffed inquiringly at War ren's outstretched hand.
 ''See here !" with an angry f1ounce that shook the springs and sent Pussy Purr-Mew flying "I'll not get up till I'm good and ready! Now you get out of here and let me"
 But Helen had darted off to answer the insistent phone.
 Hello! - Yes" with eager ex- pectancy. "Oh, we'd love to go. - How soon? - Where're you now? - Downstairs I" in dis may. "Oh, Warren's not even up! - Wait, I'll ask him."
 Leaving the receiver off the hook, she rushed back to the bedroom.
 "The Stevenses are downstairs in the car" breathlessly. "They want us to go out to the Fieldbrook club, but they can only wait ten minutes. Hur- ry, dear-do hurry!"
 .Ten minutes? I guess not? If they can't wait half an hour-tell 'em to go on"
 "Oh, they can't! They've got to meet some people who're going out on the Il 80. Oh, dear, hurry-hurry," trying to drag him out of bed. Its a perfect day for FieldbroOk !"
 Say I'll be down in half an hour" as with maddening leisure he prepared to get up. "They can't expect us to be always ready to fall into their ma chine."
 Cant you wait twenty minutes" temporiZed Helen over the phone. He's dressing now-he'll hurry all he can. No, of course not-I wouldn't want you-to miss them. - Yes, I'm ready. Without War ren? Oh no, couldn't think of it."
 "Why not?" yelled Warren from the bedroom. "Go ahead if they want you! Thatll suit me fine."
 But, dear, wouldn't enjoy it with out you."
 "Why notT consistently. "Tll be mighty glad to put in good days snooze."
 More urgings by Mrs. Stevens over the phone, more gruff insistence from the bedroom and Helen reluctantly yielded.
 "Oh, don't like to go without you," when in long white coat and veil tied hat she lowered over Warren, who had gone back to bed
 Don't worry about me-Pll have the time of my life. Run along now if they're in such blooming hurry I"
 Downstairs the Stevenses greeted her joyously.

 ''Well, you're not going to stay in and pamper him day like this" Mrs. Stevens tucked the linen duster about her.
 At first, Helen gave herself up to the sheer physical joy of the glittering sunlight and soft-scented air. But soon thoughts of Warren shadowed her mind.
 Would he sleep all morning without either breakfast or lunch? In her hur- ry, she had forgotten to give Dora any orders. That she had had no break fast hardly occurred to her. But War ren should not miss his meals; any ir- regularity always upset him.
 The car shot on with even speed. They were at One Hundred and Eight ieth street now. With vague uneasi- ness, Helen was watching the numbers on the lamp-posts.
