Y THE HOME CIRCLE AU Utters intended tor this Department ahouldbe addressed to "Aunt Mary," care of Trooresmine Farmer, Raleigh, N, C. 1 I : THe City Cousin. E'S MY OWN COUSIN, Mamma says; but my! he's awful gro?a! . Because he's always lived in town and so he hasn seen Sn verv manv things. He said he never milked a cow. . T " r Tiro o In o 111 n aitt t And all tne grass ue evci d no He never gathered roasting ears, and it's the first time he Threw up a stick to knock'down nuts and ate 'em off the tree! And he don't know where honey grows and never learned to swim! My! I would, hate to be that old and not know more than him! When he is home there ain't a creek and so he never goes A-fishing, and he hasn't got a suit of real old clothes, The kind you have to have to fish; and he says he can't go Barefoot with us because the grass and weeds would hurt his toe! He won't chew slippery ellum bark or beeswax; he's afraid Of it because he told us that he don't know how it's made; And he won't dig up angle worms because they wiggle so; I never saw the place he lives, but my! it must be slow! He don'Uknow what a spring-board is, and hasn't got a hat That you can dip a drink" up with he never heard of that! And if it's raining in the woods he hurries up to get Back hbme because he's so afraid he'll get his straw hat wet. One day we killed a garter snake they don't have them in town And he don't know the tail won't die until the sun goes down! And he is sorry that he never came down here the more He thinks of all the things he's learned he didn't know before! i Still, I suppose he has to live somewhere, but it must be An awful thing to live so long and never climb a tree, Or plug a watermelon when you think it's ripe, or wear The kind of clothes that you can rip and do not heed to care; Or dive into the creek or sit upon the bank and get Your back all freckled up and burned until you feel it yet When it is time to go to bed! He never learned to swim! My! I would hate to be that old and not know more than him! r, W. Foley. What One Farmer Girl Did. Instead of Going to Town to Drudge Away in Some Store or Office, She Did a Marvelous Work in Transforming the Old Farm Home and Increased the Happiness of the .Whole House hold A Good Example for Other Farmer Girls. When writing advertisers, please mentlon'thls paper. 7n HE GIRL had left the farm NJHu four years before for board IJfl2LJ jng school, had graduated with distinction, and now was back at the old homestead in the country. What was next? Her mother had taught her to do housework, but the girls she knew in the big town did not work in the kitchen. The house was old, and the girls at school lived in modern houses. The mother was busy from morning until night, and had but little time to "dress up," play on the old organ and read her books. There was not much company in the house and the evenings were long. The girls in town had parties and concerts. Her father and mother were growing old, and the old place was not kept looking as well as it used to be. The Girl Chooses the Country. Should she go away from home to teach school, or study stenography, or should she remain on the farm? The noise of the cricket, the bleat ing of sheep, the creaking of the windlass in the old well, the hoarse notes of the frog in the pond, the soughing of the wind among the pines were not these more to her than the noise of the whistle, th'd rumbling of wagons on the city pavement?" She would transform the old farm house!; She would put renewed life into the bent form of her mother and encourage her father; she would make this a place to which her city friends would delight to come. It was approaching springtime. The barnyard close by was deep with mud from the. recent thaVs. The trees were overgrown and rough from want of trimming. The fences had been broken down through the winter, and the yard was strewn with litter. Indifference and a lack of courage had contributed to the "run down" appearance of the old farm, and now the girl brought new life, which with the aid of her parents and with good, strong assistance of the hired man wrought wonders. How a Girl Can Add Beauty to the Home. The banking was cleared away, the overgrown shrubbery trimmed, the yard was drained, filled in and graded, and grass seed was sown. There was excellent promise of at tractive vines, and the magnifiicent trees of the, farmyard would, with such surroundings, more than ever before show their beauty and strength. A woodbine was started over the shed, and the honeysuckle arbor leading to the entrance of the kitch en was trimmed and trained. A crimson rambler was set out at the doorway, and a wild rose found a place at a corner of the house. The yard, thoroughly seeded, was kept clear for a smooth lawn, with trees massed at the sides. The old-fashioned flower-bed brought pleasant recollections to the mother, who had long since given up trying to raise flowers because it took so much time. It was all she could do to tend the vegetable garden. The hollyhocks and phlox had gradu ally died out for lack of attention. Honeysuckle, mignonette and roses form a more encouraging outlook from a house where busy hands ate at work than broken fences, a mud dy yard and a littered doorway. The house never had had a veran da, but this young lady determined to
