 Well. if she comes down late the child has to make her own toast" con- ceded her mother. You known that making toast is very difficult work and hard on the complexion. To my utter surprise I heard her assure him over the telephone recently, when he Inquired what she was doing then, that she had been scrubbing the kit chen floor, Hurrying out to view this miracle, l deduced that what Armenia had really done was to take the patent mop and wipe up few drops of water which had spattered when she filled a water glass at the faucet.
 But Armenia is sweet girl and it's perfectly all right for Arthur Brickpatters is up to the same tricks. He is giving an imitation of young man who never in all his life would do anything else than gaze adoringly and demand to be told every little thing which had occurred in the life of his beloved one since he saw her last at breakfast time. Armenia will learn to cook eventually, so he won't be fooled, after all, but she'll have to resign herself like all the rest of us to a husband who wants to read the paper or a detective story and growls if we try to converse with him-''
 "Aw," said Armenia's father. I'm not so bad as that, am I? Say, I've just been remembering how you used to hand me out doughnuts that were licking good and you mentioned that you had just made them that morn ing, and I'm getting suspicious! Did you honestly and truly cook 'em your self, Bengaline?'
 You go right on reading that book, said Armenia's mother hastily. Pretty soon you'll know too much for your own good, Chicago News.

RAIpTNo THE FARMS.

When reports come from about tho state that the farmers are suffering considerable losses from the theft of their crops and attribute such to those Who visit the countryside in automo- piles and get away with the loot long before the owners know anything about 1t, there is again disclosed q situation which cannot fail to arouse much sym pathy for the farmers. Such products are the result of hard labor and they should get the benefit The idea that whatever can be picked up or obtained in the country ought not to be paid for even when such things are dug from the ground or picked from vines or trees is Of course against the law but the difficulty comes in catching the robbers at their work.
 Such thefts are of course nothing now. They have been going on for years and surrounding the larger cities there are those who make a practice of securing the country round about for all kinds of garden truck which can be stolen to be- peddled from house to house the next day. Raids of this kind have been going on for years. the radius of operations being increased and the ease of getting to and away from the fields of operations greatly aided by the automobile. Efforts were made in the last session of the gen. eral assembly to have legisation adopt ed that woud deal with this situation in the hopes of decreasing the losses that thA farrnars suffer but hone rests with the reorganized state police de- partment and such efforts as the farm CTS can put forth themselves to remedy the annoyance and check the loss.
 Sympathy doesn't go far in stopping such raids and if conditions continue 10 grow worse the farmers will be jus tiled in organized for their own pro- lection in a determination to see that property rights are properly respected.

Sense of Form

Sense of Form
 A sense of form is something that will prevent your becoming a great artist if you haven't got it. That's saying it backward, but exactly ex- presses the meaning.
 The sense of form is what enables you to remember and to reproduce if you have the manual dexterity, out lines, shapes, faces, figures, curves, de- signs and the like. It's sometimes referred to as a true eye" but it's not a matter of the eye at all, but of certain brain functions back of the eye.
 Maybe you think there's no way to tell whether a man or woman has a good sense of form without trying them out. But there is.
 Look your subject straight in the face. Are his eyes set well apart? Is there a good development of the rooi of his nose between his eyes? If so he has a good sense of form.
 But he may be no artist. Sense o1 ] form does not make an artist, though it is indispensable to one, unless ht concerns himself only with color har. monies.
 It is also an aid to the draftsman the carpenter, the geologist, the brick. layer, the builder, the engineer; in fac 1 to the follower of a host of trades ant professions, not forgetting that it i. our sense of form that enables us tt remember the faces and general ap ] pearaHce of those we meet. It is there fore of value to the salesman and thu social butterfly, not to mention tn, young lady who has so many. suitori l she doesn't know what to do.

SOME INSIDE INFORMATION

"I think that Armenia Is serious about that young Arthur Bficlkpatter who has been coming here so often this winter" declared ArmeTia's father confidently to her mother. hDld you know that she took him cut ia the kit chen last evening and made eandy2"
 Even an utter stranger could have told that" Armenia's mother informed him. When 1 went te get breakfast this morning 1 had to eAcuyate the stove, which: was nearly buried beneath boiledoVer candy, and there were nine pots, pans and bowls left in the sink completely enameled with handened sugar, which is impossible to get off except with dynamite, I'm saying no- thing about the floor linoieum, which has been transformed Into a trap pol a-dotted with exceedingly sticky drops of the stuff, In fact, I cannot imagine how there could have been any candy left to be eatenl"
 "Oh, that wouldn't matter" said Ar menias father. What I am getting at is that Armenia seems to be developing domestic side to her nature"
 Well, I stan't interfere with Arthur Briclxpatter's fond imaginings on the subject" his wife promised him. q suppose, being man, he will think precisely as you do about it, but I belong to the Order of Amalgamated Women and Armenia's little ways are simply transparent to me!
 "The silliest, fluffiest, laziest little blond that ever slept till Il o'clock regularly mornings and polished her nails while mother is scrubbing the kitchen floor can work the trick. All she has to do is put on the best apron she can find in the kitchen collection she usually burns holes in it-and a distractingly serious little frown and surround herself with a perfectly spick and span kitchen. Sometimes she gives herself away because she has to hunt ten minutes to find the salt or the sugar and nearly always the baking powder can remains a perman- ently lost affair if she assays biscuits But it is usually candy they make In the first place all young men can gorge on candy and no matter how poorly made it is it still remains sweet 1 which is the main thing.
