made much study Of the subject, is
something new to ponder over.

the cold and won their living by
their physical activity. Those blondg

love action and danger. Most sail
ors are blue-eyed. The brunets, on
the other hand, are the descendants
of the southern dwellers. They en-
dured no extreme of climate except
the heat, which made them naturally
inactive.
From this ancestry of color there
is no escape, says the doctor. Sooner

Making Good
Soup
BY Loretto 9. Lynch.

DERHAPS one Of the most har-
assing problems Of the young
\ housekeeper is that OF provid-

= reason or another some folks prefer
the freshly made home cooked
soups.

ancient slogan, yet since so many

Of salt. Cook slowly for half an
hour. This may be varied by the
addition of two teaspOonfuls OF raw
rice after the first fifteen minutes
or a similar quantity OF barley. 4
tablespoonful OF leftover cooked
peas or carrots may be added or

fine noodles or some rice may be
cooked in thiS.
Then there are the meatless

buys a two and one-half pound

delicious chicken soup.

old-fashioned furniture whose
solidity, however, was proof against

several generations Of boarders

and the artificial flowers in the
vases.

He was a man about nifty years

mingled with silver threads gave an
appearance Of impressive import

man.
The latter rose, and coming for

"Yes, I am Baron Plucke."
'You asked for me, sir?'
With a gracious gesture his visi-

him.
Then. when both were seated, he

Farming as a Business


selves as a business with good
results.
This fact is evident in examining
the work Of the women who have
made farming pay. Almost without
exception they have specialized. The
woman farmer apparently does not
find it practical to attempt farming
huge areas with q large variety Of
produce-anythinG from peaches
to potatoes. Either she can't under
take to get sufficient help, or II
does not appeal sufficiently to her
imagination, or the bulk of such
variety of farm products appallS
her.
Usually. she likes to specialize on
one OF two things-either small
fruits. fancy vegetables, like as
paragus, mushrooms, Brussels
sprouts. or such items, or special
lied poultry, fancy eggs, or bees.
In this way she can make n con-
centrated study Of just one or two
things and become an expert in
her line.
This sort Of scientific specializa-
tion is fascinating and educational
and enables the worker 10 con-
tribute something TO the advance
ment OF her branch of agriculture.
However, il is not practical to
take the plunge alone without eN-
perience. Either have some one as
sociated with you who has had eX-
perience in farU work Of the kind
you wish to und ftakc, or otherwise
il is much better to go on farm
as a helper and learn from the
daily practice Of the experienced
farmer what to do and what to
avoid.
II, in continuation OF the practice
OF wartimes, many married women
with little families are to continue
to earn a livelihood, certainly il
seems that the farm offers many
advantages as a paying occupation.
1t enables the woman to be at work.
and yet to keep an eye on her chill
dren, and provides them with
healthy living conditions.
The Washington times., 1919-02-01
By Eleanor Gilbert.

n ECENTIY Ihave received some
X letters from women who
wish seriously to enter farm
ing as a permanent occupation. In
spired by patriotic motives to help
food production, or the vision OF
wholesome bucolic existence, many
tired business women are casting
longing eyes at the country as a
means of earning a livelihood.
What are the profitable farming
occupations? Can woman with
absolutely no experience make a
success. Of truck farming or bee
keeping, or dairying? These are
the questions which come, and
which are sometimes very difficult
to answer. Making a farm pay is
no easier than any other work: yet
so many women have gone into it
with success that there is no rea-
son why a determined woman with
health can't go and do likewise.
There is one woman who has a
farm of several hundred acres near
New 1Ork ana VINO specialiZeS on
fruit-raising. Another has de-
veloped a scheme Of supplying city
folk with hampers of assorted
vegetables, and this direct-to-the-
consumer method OF marketing
farm produce has been a great
service in getting fresh vegetables
to the city folk at moderate prices
and has proved successful as a
business venture.
There are a few women who
have made a success in a small way
of Bookkeeping. This is no easy
matter-in spite of the fact that
bees, unlike other farm producers,
feed and care for themselves with
out outside assistance.
Raising fancy poultry, mushroom
growing, berry raising are a few
OF the other farm specialties to
which women have devoted them

Puss in Boots
Jr.
By David Corv.


NIoU remember in the last story
that Puss and his good gray
horse had camped in a grove
Of trees for the night. Well, just
as Puss was about to curl up and
take a little trip to dreamland he
heard a voice singing:
Little Boy Blue,
Come leave your toys,
It's time to wash hands
For little boys.
Supper is ready,
You must not wait.
Tuck in your napkin
And don't tip your plate.
Oh, where is Boy Blue?
Let's all take a peep
He's there on the sofa
Fast asleep.
Puss looked around and saw a
little light twinkling through the
trees. So he got up and went to-
ward it to find that it shone from
a window in a small cottage. And
then she knocked on the door, for,
he thought, may be asked to spend
the night and that will be much
more comfortable than sleeping be-
meath the trees. And the pretty
woman who opened the door asked
him in, saying softly. "Tiptoe. my
dear Puss Junior, for Boy Blue has
just gone to sleep" And you know
how softly cat can tiptoe. But, OF
course, he first slipped off his red
topped boots with their clanking
spurs.
Then Boy Blues mother gave
Puss Junior some milk and cake.
and after he had put his good gray
horse in the stable he came back
and sat down by the fire.
Over the mantelpiece hung a sill
yer horn, and as Puss looked UP at
1t he remembered long ago in Old
Mother Goose Land a little Boy
Blue who blew his horn to call the
cows from the fields Of corn. so he
turned TO the pretty woman and
said:
Does your little Boy Blue go TO
sleep in a haystack:"
mo, my dear" IaughinEIy replied
his mother. But his father did.
And that's the horn he used to blow
in the early morn TO call the cows
and te wooh)ly sheep wenh under
the haystack he'd fallen asleep"
81 met him once, long time ago"
said little JUS Junior. 81 remem-
Der the place quite well. He car
ried me on his shoulder to see little
Miss Muffet who sat on a tuffet, and
she gave us some curds and whey
till a horrid spider came and sat
down beside her and frightened her
so that she jumped up and ran far
away"
And so you were the little cat
who was with him, were your"
said little Boy Blues mother, but
Puss didn't answer, for he had
fallen fast asleep, and was dream
ing that he was once more with
his dear father, the famous Puss
in Boots.
