"didn't have to marry a rich bachelor,
or fall heir to the fortune of a rela-

Miss. Berggren heard a salesman tell
ing Of the opportunities in homesteads
in the West. Immediately she wrote
to friends in Montana, asking them
how to take a claim. They told her,
and she filed on 100 acres, which cost
her 1924. Later she took 100 acres
more, then bought 10 acres and finally
took another 160-acre tract. This
made a total of 493 acres in her pos
session, and now it can be sold for
$50 an acre.
War prices of farm products came
to the aid of Miss Berggren. She put
up her shack and made the necessary
improvements around the homestead.
She did most of the blowing and plant
ing herself, although neighbors helped
her some. Then her crop began to
ripen, and she soon was in a position
to travel back to Duluth as a wealthy
land owner.
The trip back to Duluth, however,
was for only a short vacation. Miss
Berggren hurried again to her home

By Helen Hunt Jackson

The golden rod is syellow
The corn is turning brown;
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down.
The gentian's bIuest fringes
Are curling in the sun;
In dusty pods the milkWeed
Its hidden silk has spun.
The sedges fIaunt their harvest
In every meadoWnook;
And asters by the brookside
Make asters in the brook.
From deWy lanes at morning
The grapes sweet odors rise;
Z At noon the roads all flutter
With yellow butterflies.
BY all these lovely tokens
September days are here, /.
With summers best of weather
And autumn's best of cheer.

A CONTRACTION

Through nm error which is sincerely
regretted, the handsome princess gown
pictured among other costumes for
wartime evening wear on the October
2eth page. was described as q Paoutn
model. when the gown should have
been credited to its rightful creator,
Madam Hosac. OF Chicago, In the
same fashion talk two other beautiful
evening gowns, one a stunning sun
burst model and the second a graceful
little debutante costume, were by mis-
take attributed to Paris couturiers
when as a matter of fact they were
the creations Of Miss Ann Ripley
whose charming frocks are we'll known
in Chicago and New York.
The error seems all the more de-
plerabla since these costumes-prod-
ucts OF American dressmak ers---were
more distinguished and compelling
than anything OF sartorial nature
that has come from Paris in some
months and were credit not only to
the American women who created
them but to America which can now
produce without outside inspiration

beauty
