STEILA'S ANSWER

Don Miguel hasn't honored me
thus for some time remarked Stella
sullenly and with slight break in
her voice, as Miguel entered her tent.
Il don't suppose that it is for my sake
that you come"
Il came to ask you what II is that
makes you and Gemma always quar-
rel with the Princess Ilona?' said
Miguel sternly and compelling her to
look full into his eyes.
"And what do you care what it
is that makes us do so?" asked the
girl with ae mpertinent toss of her
head and a sneer.
81 do care, and / shall have an
answer before l leave this tent" pur.
sued Miguel angrily. Come shaking
her by one shoulder, answer me,
Stella.
Stella shrunk up within herself, and
bowed her dark head on her knees,
but gave no response. Again he shook
hcr, and a bit more roughly. so that
the light scarf that she had tossed
round her came off in his hand, leav-
ing her painting and furious, as she
saw just what he had done, and how
angry he, himself, was.
With an imprecation she flung her
arms wide, barring her nude, gypsy
body from the waist up to Miguel's
eyes and slanting herself back insin-
uatingly, as she laughed up into his
face derisively "This Is my reason
here they are, each and every one
you know too we'll" she cried, point
ing dramatically to her arms, her lips
and her full bosom, these, all Of me
being deserted for that pale faced doll.
Do you think that gypsy blood runs
like such as hers? Do you think that
we allow our lovers to leave US, when
we offer such beauties as only gypsies
can possess? Have you forgotten the
laws of the tribe. my Miguel? II 80,

"And ! tell you again." shouted Mi

UNTIRING EFFORTS OF MRS. MINNIEB.
CHURCH REFLECTED In SPLENDID RESULTS
ATTAINED THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY

Efforts OF the county home demon
stration agent has borne fruit in
Carter county, and in fact throughout
the entire southwest, as attested to
10y the splendid results attained as
reports show Within the past few
years wonderful changes have been
made in the mode of living in rural
the thanks Of the various communi-
ties are due the demonstrator.
Mrs. Minnie r. Church who has
been in charge of this work in Carter
County for the past few years has
established reputation second TO
no other demonstration agent in the
state She has received the warmest
commendation from her superior Of
ficers and from every banker anc
business man in Carter county.
Mrs Church works on the theory
that successful demonstration WORK
begins In the home, and is fully dc
velopod there. Home demonstration
work began in this country in 1910
with few girls growing one plant
the tomato. They learned NOR.
about plant life than they could have
done by starting with a dozen, diff.
ferent vegetables, until today their
families and neighbors have absorbed
more information about vegetables
than they had ever acquired before.
Some knowledge, skill, and initia
tive are available in every commnu-
ity, and there Is always need to ex.
tend good practice already in use.
Suggestions and direction stirs them
to activity, and the results are far
reaching. The same educational pro
cess followed canning of the product
naturally the mothers had an interes,
in their daughters training and took
q hand.
A few years of achievement by
girls and women on the farm fur
nishes perspective most valuable,
from the one vegetable, they have
gene through the garden, orchard
poultry yard barnyard, Kitchen
house, and household to the front
lawn, the first agents here told thai
it was their mission to develop the
resources. increase the harvest, i'm
prove the landscapes. brighten the
homes, ard flood the people witt
knowledge about Helpful things"
While the home demonstration
agent has a simple method OF ap
proach and while she had the worker
take on step at q time. the larger
purpose is kept continually in mind
and II was her carly and persistent
aim TO place country life upon
higher plane of profit, comfort, ant
culture, influence and power.
Comfort and culture must follow
not proceed profit, earning come!
first after the first step is taken The
others come easier.
DR.. Seaman A. Knapp, founder ol
demonstration work said at the be
ginning that club members coult
make a garden and raise the fruits
and poultry to support the family
if they would, and the boys and girls
club members in Carter county arr
going a long way toward fulfilling
that prophecy.
