Florida, which not many years ago
was a sleepy peninsula, now ranks
among the most progressive states of

nose so far down toward the Tropics
that only here, in all the United States,
can you pick coconuts from their lofty
habitat—that Is, if you climb well!
Her map spot in the sun gives

her, economically speaking, dual-faced,
On one side, the real Florida: vast,
sparsely settled, strewn with fruit and
farm colonies, cow ranches, sawmills,
turpentine mille, seaports, cizar fac-
tories, smelly fisheries, and industries
that produce, among other things, in
commercial quantities, fuller's earth,
kaolin, titanium oxide, and-—be it
proudly said—about 85 per cent of this
country's supply of phosphate rock.
On the other side, familiar to win-
.er visitors, a strangely different state.
Through long, drill months she drowses
and suns herself; yet from December
to March, gay, boisterous, and bizarre,
she affords an astounding spectacle of
massed humanity, idle, yet often ath-
letically active, probably without
parallel anywhere,
The tourist trek to Florida is unique;
Lor, lured by sun, sea, and the in-
stinctive love of outdoors, people turn
toward Florida each winter, at which
time her population almost doubles.
By train, motor, boat, and plane this
army comes. One even sees walkers
and men on bicycles, a suitcase lashed
atop the handlebars. Through Lake
City and Jacksonville, more than a

Vast Throngs at Play.
A graphic picture this, a giant movie-
(one of upward of ten hundred thou-
sand Americans marching to play and
work. Big league ball teams at prac-

italists on private yachts and patent
medicine barkers in flivvers; horse-
shoe pitchers, and croquet players from
small towns of the Middle West ; erack

sionals, brown sun-bathers, school
children of all ages, hues, and creeds
studying in the open air at desks set

James working the county fairs; dane-

with “For hire” cars brought all the
way from Detroit and Cleveland; edu-
eators and evangelists, palmists and
pugilists; puritans and impuritans; a
great circus in winter quarters, its
tapirs and giraffes capering in warm
sunshine; barbers in green smoeks and

Then, as suddenly as it n, the

before advancing enemy troops. Sump-
tuous, high-priced hotels close and
hordes of “snow-bird” waiters, bell
hops, maids, and cooks backtrack to
prepare the northern resort hotels for
another season.
The tourist wave takes months to
reach the high-water stage, yet all
want to go North in a week, thus
straining even the great facilities of
the railways tapping the Far South.
Divorced from the tension of win-
.er racket, the real Florida relaxes
and breathes easier. She counts the
profits earned from winter paying

otherwise; then turns to her big job—

thus Florida presents an odd picture |
At times she throws away surplus
fruit and vegetables, Later in the
same year she may have to live out of
tin cans. She has not yet learned to
feed herself, but she is educating her-
self along these lines rapidly.
Excellent dairy herds are hers, yc,
she imports about two-thirds of all
her butter and milk. Here virgin
America heard the evening low of
wandering kine brought by Spanish
explorers; here are vast grasslands,

the state imports seven-eighths of all
its meat,
Poultry farms grow flocks of 5,00,
and 10,000 chickens, yet a large share
of fowls and eggs consumed is brought
from other states. Despite the eco-
nomic commotion of the past decade,
Florida is still in sense a pioneer
state, Her growth has been spotty,
haphazard, marked by local spurts
and lapses, seemingly a precocious
child trying to run before she walks,
Riding south to Florida in the win-!

you meet long trains of yellow-hued
refrigerator cars rolling north, laden
with fish, fruits, and vegetables. One
single train hauled 104 cars of toma-
toes. Neventy-five million hungry cus-
tomers live within 36 to 48 hours of |
her gates, by express and fast freight,
Two hundred kinds of crops, fruits, |
and nuts grow here, and shipments

She digs new potatoes and picks beans, |
peas, tomatoes, celery, pears, papayas,
grape fruit, and oranges when New
York and Chicago are snowbound. |
Though she ships nearly 100,000 cars |
of orchard and garden crops a year,
or more than 10 per cent of all that is |
sold In America, only a small part of
her available land is tilled. You can
ride for miles and miles, over superb-

for generations, which the rest of
America was in the making. The rea-
son, of course, was the trend of mi-
gration to the great West!
Till recent years, when better con
munications came and America’s food
habits began to change through inten-
sive distribution methods, refrigerator
cars and high-power advertising, there
was no great consumer market for the
golden winter fruits and green vege-
tables which the state today grows. |

PARIS STYLES
Beauty in everything has become
a duty. Even the most utilitarian
objects have been beautified, ren-
dered gay and good-looking by col-
or and other devices. Kitchen uten-
sils that used to be drab and dull
now make the culinary department
bloom like a gaily flowered garden.
And so it is in the sartorial worl
Take, for example, the humble
sweater. Can you remember way
back when that garment was an in-
determinate brown or gray with no
brightening touches, no other object
than to keep us warm and miserable-
looking. But the rage for beauty and
the craze for handknit garments have
combined to put the sweater on the
map, and so we find now that near-
ly every house is showing smart
colorful sweaters that have made!

would have scorned to wear one a

But with all its decorative touches
the sweater has lost nothing of its
usefulness and is still grand for
wear inthe country, or with a smart
skirt, for morning wear in town.

DIVINITY BALLS
Cook one and one-fourth cu
corn sirup, one-fourth cupful of
water, one-eighth teaspoonful of salt
to the hard ball stage. Leave the
saucepan over the burner after the
heat has been turned off. Beat one
egg white until stiff. Pour over the
hot sirup very slowly, beat until the
mixture holds its shape. Add one-
half and one-half cupful
of vanilla, one cupful of sliced dates
and one-half cupful of nut meats;
mix thoroughly and turn out on a
marble slab, make into balls and roll
in toasted or tinted cocoanut. This
makes one and one-fourth pounds.
—Place one teaspoonful of grated
orange peel or lemon peel in the tea

delightful flavor and makes ordi-

teas.
2 cups milk

Boil the potatoes and onions 10
minutes. Pimento cut fine can be
added during the last half of cook-
ing if desired. Drain.
Make a white sauce of the butter,
flour and milk, add to it the grated
cheese. Place alternate layers of po-
