were the groundwork Of the pattern-the
men in their dark blue braided Elton
Jackets, the women with their red or
brown aprons. These are good to look at,
but there is better still. for the whole
countryside has come in with Its dogs
and its goats and its donkeys. There are
the knitting gypsy women who make
stockings, and never cease from knitting
as they walk up and down. With them is
a little barefoot, elfish girl, with a won
derfully dirty face and a tangle of black
hair, who looks at us out of the corners
OF her avage eyes. Then there are the
long bearded priests in their black gowns
and tall black hats. ragged, benevolent
and dignified. There is a sprinkling of
Turks In ~fezzes, and best of all there are
the shepherds. They wear white stock
ings, white kits, white Jerseys; round
their waists are red sashes;' round their
heads bright handkerchiefs; and they
carry their long slender crooks in their
hands. The shepherds do not appear to

among them one old man with a narrow
hawkish face, sunburnt and crinkled,
great flaps of ears and a long grey NOUS

in that face, but is II of cutting threats

where the children are chanting the

that small Greeks have to learn their
own alphabet; n they certainly seem
not to pronounce It as we'll as we do.
Over the way lives our friend whom we
call Alexander the Coppersmith. He sits
on a table by his big bellows. a copper
dish on his knees, while the wood smoke
curls up from his fire on the floor. On
other days he deals only in copper YES

graceful art. Today his shop has become

question; Spinach finish. Today salad"
But when we spurn the lettuce n garlic
that he wants to foist on US, he naively
produces a secret hoard where there is
spinach in plenty. He is, I believe, not
u~nreasonably dishonest. It is he, more
over, who, as interpreter, makes a bar
gain for US with the knitting gipsies. 1t Is
he who. by calling on the awful name of
the control post officer, strikes terror to
the heart Of a cheating mat seller. So
what matters a little short weight of
spinach?
Last and loveliest Of all are the shops
that are, with unconscious poetry, called
fancy ~shops--low and dark, with little
grabbed lattice windows, full of the most
beautiful things. / cannot tell what they
are, for these are fairy shops such as We
see only in dreams or, perhaps, once In a
lifetime as we fit in a car through a
sleepy southern country town at home. In
front of them the women gather thickly,
and come away bearing ribbons and trink-
cts, but we stand afar off, for we know
that II we looked too closely all the colors

WOMEN FARMING IN
WESTERN CANADA
Success Has Followed All Their
Efforts.

On the train from Edmonton TO Win.
nipeg the writer took n seat beside a
soldier who had returned from the
front. On his breast he wore the
beautiful distinguished service medal.
One coat sleeve was armless, and on
his left cheek he bore O scar that he
would carry to his grave. He had
served his country faithfully and well.
At the first call for soldiers in August,
1914, he FASTENED to the recruiting
Office, leaving his 32O-acre farm. with
Its crop ready for harvest, n full
equipment of farm implements, plenty
OF horses, and a wife. The wife should
not be last on the list for she proved
the master Of the situation, and 10y
ally took hold Of the question of pro-
duction, while her husband was on his
way to fight the Hun. And she sue
ceeded. In 1915 she succeeded, and
again In 1916, and when her husband
returned in 1917 she was able to show
some contemplated farm buildings
completed, the Indebtedness Of the farm
paid off, q considerable addition to the
stock, and the land ready for q 1917
crop. This was the story told by the
soldier, and wasn't he a proud man!
He was now ready to do what he could
to keep up the period of prosperity
and provide food for the allies. The
women Of Canada have done nobly
during the struggle.
Among the most successful farmers
Of the Oak Lake district, Manitoba,
are the Misses Clara and Beatrice For
ward, who, for the past fourteen years,
have farmed their own land; doing all
the regular work on the farm, such as
blowing, seeding, summer following
and reaping. They have been espe.
cially successful with stock, and have
a splendid herd Of shorthorns, both
purebred and grade. At the recent
Brandon sale they purchased q new
purebred stock bull for $700. Their
herd was last year increased by %
calves.
Miss r. NJ. Hillman of Keller, Sass
katchewan, Is another successful
woman farmer. She has gone in ex-
tensively for grain growing, and farms
1,120 acres. She also owns some of
the finest Percheron horses in Sas-
katchewan.
The prairie now boasts of many
women who have had more or less sue
cess, though few are farming on the
same large scale as Miss Hillman and
the Misses Forward. These women
have demonstrated, and are still DEM
onstrating, that q versatile woman
may be just as good and successful q
farmer as her brother.
There are other women, too, on the
Canadian prairies, who, though they
have not had thrown upon them the re-
spOnsibilities Of running a farm"
have been decided factors in making
the farm a success. They assist their
husbands by keeping the farm &C.

their management of the poultry and
