And along with the new femininity has been revived the age-old desire to have small feet. No really up-to-date woman would wear shoes that pinched her feet. We have all become too sensible for that. But if we find that a simple shoe skillfully proportioned makes our feet look daintler or trimmer or more aristocratic than usual, the chances are :2;! we will order it without further 0. “I have a coat with light caracul col- lar which becomes soiled quite easily. Will you please tell me how to use fuller’s earth to clean it. ‘Or would you suggest some other method?"” ‘The fuller's earth should be sprinkled generously over the fur and the coat folded, so that it will not shake out, and left for a day. Then shake the powder out. This is a safe method that can do the fur no harm. A mixture of corn meal and gasoline may be rubbed into the fur gently and then shaken out. Remember to work in the open and not to use much friction, as gas- oline is highly inflammable. 1f you have a baby, or know a baby, I am sure you will want a copy of this week's circular, which gives dlagram pattern for a feeding bib that protects the entire frock at meal time.

WORLD FAMOUS STORIES IN THE COUNTRY. BY FREDERICK S. COZZENS. Frederick Swartwout Cozzens. 181369, was an American_humorist, author of “The Sparrowgrass Papers.’ It is a good thing to live in the coun- try; to escape from the prison walls of the metropolis—the great brickery we call “the city"—and to live amid blos- soms and leaves, in shadow and sun- shine, in moonlight and starlight, in rain, mist, dew, hoarfrost and drought, out in the open campaign and under the blue dome that is bounded by the horizon only. It is a good thing to have a well with dripping buckets, nl porch with honeybuds and sweetbells, a hive embroidered with nimbler bees, a sundial mossed over, ivy up to the eaves, curtains of dimity, a tumbler of fresh flowers in your bedroom, a rooster on the roof and a dog under the piazza. ‘When Mrs. Sparrowgrass and I moved into the country, with our heads full of fresh butter and cool, crisp radishes for tea: with ideas entirely lucid respecting milk, and a looseness of calculation as to the number in family it would take a good-laying hen to supply with fresh eggs every morning; when Mrs, Spar- rowgrass and I moved into the country we found some preconceived notions had to be abandoned and some departures made from the plans we had laid down in the little back parlor of Avenue G. One of the first achievements in the country is early rising, with the lark, with the sun, while the dew is on the grass, “under the opening eyelids of the morn,” and so forth. Early rising! What can be done with 5 or 6 o'clock in town? What may not be done at those hours in the country? With the hoe, the rake, the dibble, the spade, the watering pot? To plant, prune, drill, transplant, graft, train and sprinkle! rs. S. and I agreed to rise early in the untry., Early rising in the country is fot an instinct; it is a sentiment, and must be cultivated. A friend recommended me to send to the south side of Long Island for some wery' prolific potatoes—the real hippo- potamus breed. Down went my man, . and what with expenses of horse hire, | tavern bills, tollgates and breaking & wagon, the hippopotami cost as much . aplece as pineapples. They were fine ! potatoes, though, with comely features and large, languishing eyes, that prom- ised increase of family without delay. As I worked my own garden (for ! which I hired a landscape,gardener at $2 a day to give me instructions), I concluded that the object of my first experiment in early rising should be the planting of hippopotamuses. I accord- { ingly arose next morning at 5, and it rained! 1 rose next day at 5, and it rained! The next, and at rained! It ! rained for two weeks! We had splendid Potatoes every day for dinner. “My dear,” said I to Mrs. S., “wherc did you get these fine potatoes?” “Why,” sald she innocently, “out of that basket from Long Island!” ‘The last of the hlppo&)tlmi were be- fore me, peeled and boiled and mashed and baked, with a nice thin brown crust on the top. T was more successful afterward. I did get some fine seed potatoes in the ground. But something was the mat- ter. At the end of the season I did not get as many out as I had put in. ‘Mrs. S., who is a notable housewife, said to me one day: “Now, my dear, we shall soon have plenty of eggs, for I have been buying a lot of young chickens.” There they were, each with as many feathers as a grasshopper and a chirp not louder. Of course, we looked for- ward with pleasant hopes to the period when. the first cackle should announce the milk-white egg, warmly deposited | in the hay which we had provided| bountifully. They grew finely, and one day I ventured to remark that our hens had remarkably large combs, to which Mrs. 8. replied: Yes, indeed, she had observed tgat. but if I wanted to have @ real treat I ought to get up early in the morhing and hear them crow! “Crow!” said I faintly; “our hens erowing! Then, by ‘the cock that crowed in the morn, to wake the priest all shaven and shtmfl,'hwe ‘:;wht as well ive up all hopes of having any eggs,” :‘ald i‘,’fior as sure as you live, Mrs, 8., our hens are all s!” “"And so they were roosters! They grew up and fought with the neighbors® chickens until there was not a whole pair of eyes on either side of the fence. A dog is a good thing to have in the country. I have one which I raised from a pup. He is a good, stout fellow, and a hearty barker and feeder. The man of whom I bought him said he was thoroughbred, but he begins to have s mongrel look about him. He is a good watchdog, though, for the moment he scratched all night to get in. we tied him up at the back of the garden, and he howled so that our neighbor shot at him twice before daybreak. Finally we gave him away, and he came back, and now he is just recovering from & fit, in which he has turned up the patch that has been sown for Spring radishes. A good, strong gate is a necessary article for your garden—a good, strong, heavy gate, with a dislocated hinge, so that™ it will neither open mor shut. Such a one have I The grounds be- fore my fence are in common, and all the neighbors’ cows pasture there. I remarked to Mrs. S., as we stood at t! window in a June sunset, how and picturesque the cattle looked as they strolled about, cropping the green herbage. Next morning I found the in- nocent creatures in my garden. They had not left a green thing in it. The corn in the milk, the beans on the poles, the young cabbages, the tender lettuce, even the thriving shoots on my fruit trees had vanished. And there they were, looking quietly on the ruin they had made. Our watchdog, too, was foregathering with them. It was too much; so I got a large stick and drove them all out, ex- cept & young heifer, which I chased all over the flower beds, breaking down my trellises, my woodbines and sweet- briers, my roses and petunias, until I cornered her in the hotbed. I had to call for assistance to extricate her from the sashes, and her owner has sued me for damages. 1 believe I shall move into town. e The agriculture of Bolivia is in a comparatively undeveloped state.

NANCY PAGE From Extravagance to Economy. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. It was true that Joan and wee Peter had no right to wear sister-brother clothes. They .were cousins and Joan was staying at Aunt Nancy's only be- cause her own mother was and had been 11l and could not take care of her small daughter. Joan had been with Aunt Nancy and .Uncle Peter for so many of her four and a half years that they felt as if she were their own daughter. They loved her almost as much as they did their own 15-month- old son. So when Nancy saw these suits, which were imported and straight from Paris, she induiged herself and the chil- dren. Possibly it was herself who was most indulged. The suits were of white linen, and the trimming was fine Irish crochet. The boy’s suit buttoned over to the left and had the crochet edging down the lap over right edge. Joan's was the exact opposite. Having spent too much money for these two suits, Nancy felt that it be- hooved her to be economical for a while. So she bought some bias bindi and used it as trimming on the children's clothes. She found that each of them had some sleeveless Summer clothes that were just a bit too short. She had more material and put in sleeves, using binding at armholes as 8. The widest bias binding was chosen for the bottom of the dress and for the small trousers. This gave the required additional length. Nancy was proud of her cleverness and economy.

After all, you get married only once in a lifetime and I want mine to a beautiful memory. Something that no one could take awayefrom me, no matter what happened. . MARGUERITE. Answer: Life and circumstances change most of our plans for us, my dear, and when you get to be old and look back you will see that you have done most of the things that yofl said in your youth and inexperience that you wouldn't do and that you have done very few of the things that you said you would do. So don't give a thought to the fact that you have always proclaimed that you wouldn't marry anybody but a rich man and that you wouldn’t work and struggle like so many other girls you have seen wrestling with pots and pans and teething bables and a limited income and that you were gof to have a house of your own when you were married. Every girl has thought t she was going to marry a Fairy Prince and has announced that she would take none other, and then love comes by and she gets up and follows whether he has even s havel to take her to. Marry your fine young lover and accept your mother’s offer to help and keep on with your job until your husband is able to make a living for you. Every wife who loves her husband wants to help him and if you can do this better by earning money than you could by cooking and cleaning and sewing for him, there is no reason in the world why you shouldn't do so. There are countless young couples situated as you are. The girls must continue to work after marriage or else they must put the marriage off for years and years until all of their romance has been worn to tatters. By the time a long-drawn-out engagement ends in a wedding, both the man and the woman have nearly always tired of each other. So I think that it is a great deal better for a l{mm( couple to go along and get married, even when the wife has to work outside of the home, &nn it is for them to wait. They have some hardships, but they have the glory and the fresh- ness of love and they have each other, and they have the happiness of working together. And if a man and woman truly love each other that is about the best that life can give them. 1 think it is a pity when a young couple has to live with parents after they are married, but in your case it is evidently the wisest thing to do and, besides, there is not the danger of conflict between a mother-in-law and a son-in-law that there is between & mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law. Women are nearly always pleased to have a son-in-law and are willing to be friends with him, and, besides, the mother-in-law's and the son-in-law’s interests do not clash as those of two women do. But I strongly urge you against the church wedding which will run you in debt and start you out with a handicap in your new life. Don't be guilty of such a folly. If Lindbergh and one of the richest girls in America were satisfled ;o be m7ll’l'l€d by their preacher in the girl's parlor, why isn't that good enough | or you As for your wedding being a beautiful memory, that is as may be. If your marriage turns out happily you will always think of it as the most beautiful thing that ever happened, no matter if you and your man were married in | courthouse by a justice of the peace, but if it turns out a tragedy no tulle and white satin and orange blossoms and bridesmaids and ushers will keep the mem- | ory from being anything but a horror that you would like to forget. | S0 be sensible and save the money a show wedding would cost as the nest egk for your home.
