They hart killed seventy-elKlit rain with
fciooios. tv-lilch fact nlone la sufficient to
put twcnty.flvc Rlrl In a lioitlcultural
jchool quite In n class by themselves. They
had tilled the soli to the tune of crashing
thunder and had followed the plow behind
tffll me farm horses.
Then one fine day "somewhere In
Ambler." where all this took place
Society came out In Its best limousines to
frn ho' make war gardens and one of
the members seeds with the aid of a pencil
dtcitiEC well what's the use o tnkltiK off
your clean white kid gloves anyway, when
toii have a pencil In your pocketbook?
Well, wouldn't It make you pause In oiir
tfU f tending the conservatory furnace
nr.d snicker? And wouldn't It make you
ponder If society was such a good nurt
after all when It comes to take wai Kaiileii
courses at the School of Horticulture for
Women out Ambler way?
Tills Is the question that perslstB In sneak,
hi? Its way In on Friday mornings when n
number of Philadelphia folk who are
anxious to learn the real lore of the truck
fitch go out to the school for special prno
tlcal Instruction. ,
The answer Isn't always the snme
Kor Instance, tho lady who prefer! od to
diaw the furrow for her seeds with a pencil
to taking off her white gloves and digging In
the dirt with her hands wns Mo.iicely voud
In the "good sport" class. The lady who
woie a elet skirt and asked for something
to amuse the chauffeur with while she dug
didn't quite make good either!
But then again
One khakl-sklrted regular paused in her
tsM; of building a beehive and said val
iantly: "Most of them are the best sports In
the world, They wear lougli clothes, get
down In the mud and do everv thing undei
the sun they possibly can to get the good
out of the course. Last week they worked
In the rain and wouldn't stop for anything."
The war courses that arc the tauve of all
these conjectures are specially mapped out
lessons In preparation of the ground, seed
sowing, drills, planting and t online culture
They were gotten up for the benefit of
women who are desirous of going at ege
talilo gardening in a practical and scientific
way. Other short courses. Into which fruit
trotting, canning, beekeeping and poultry
are Incorporated, will be In besskin all
through the summer
There are twenty-five "regulars' that Is.
resident students In this very unusual
school that was founded seven years ago to
teach women the complete science of horti
culture. They learn to be real farmers and
gardeners, not from books although the
basic science of horticulture is taught that
way, too but from old Mother Uarth her
eU. Wartime, while It is not making a voca
tional difference In the lives of the "regu
lars," has, nevertheless, spurred the glils
on to patriotic energy. Home of them go
eut one, day a week to supervise and direct
the making of war gardens Then, too.
to show they're good-natured and really
want to help, the girls are going to pick
all of the asparagus for their own fanner
men, who are busy cultivating the seventy
two acres that make up the school prop
erty, . The scientifically equlppol canning
kitchen in Ambler Is not a war me.isute,
either, but the glasses of Jewel-like Jelly
turned out regularly at each precrving
time make silent prediction that the girls
In Ambler are going to be called upon to
ahow Philadelphia and her environs how
to conserve what they glow. To he sure
that Ambler's Jam kitchen is wot king In
ordr with Uncle Sam's latest mandates.
Mrs. Caroline Peeler, who presides over tho
canning department, paid a five days' visit
to Washington last week to attend tho can
ning conference held there under the super
Vision of the Department of Agriculture.
According to Miss Kllzaheth I.ee. who
Is director of the school, the students are
not likely to answer the call for women
"farm hands" this summer, for the simple
reason that they will be of more value to
their country as supervising farmers and
gaideners. If the emergency should arise
they will mce.t it as faimcrs In the rough,
however, and forswear the right they have
earned to "farmer commissions" for the
take of Uncle Sam.
The students have been grounded and
thoroughly drilled In all the Intricacies of
the soil, from plowing, to chicken raising.
So successful have been the graduates that
the future application file is overctowded
ijh requests for landscape gardeners,
supervising farmers and gardeners for
estates, schools and Institutions. Teachers,
too, are much wanted. Tho demand fon
the rosy-cheeked, cleat -eyed graduates
cannot In any way be met by the supply.
Several students own farms in various
Prts of the country, and will take complete
charge of them after graduation Others
are studying to be landscape gardeners.

Vance Thompson Says She Will Not Be "Obsessed With Sex Intentions."
"Out of the Petticoated Females' " Class, He Declares in discussing
Feminine Evolution Progress of Civilization Through Terms
of Sartorialism Part of His Discussion
Whllp tlie new unm.m 1 busily engaged
"evolving" herself, the "old" man for the
creature of masculine persuasion has never
thought for a minute that he needed the
tonic effects of an evolution Is sitting up
lato to write books iihnut how she ought
to do it, what she Is going to look like
when she (s "evolved" and the thoioughly
enjoyable place this old world is going to be
to live In when that millennium arrives
One tiling the literary gentlemen havo
decided upon is that we can't be new and at
tractive at one and the same time
lven II. (J. Wells, who has shown us
some chatming women, has depicted the
new woman as the "lean, gaunt, weather
beaten mate."
Comes now one Vance Thompson Tho
(amo he Is who told us how It Is possible
tii "Kat and liiow Thin" and "Drink and
Be Sober"
His latest literary contribution to the
field of feminism might be entitled "How to
Ho Happy, Though Married." It l. In
stead railed "Woman" and l published by
K. P. Dutton & Co., New York.
Once Mr Thompson went to California
There he met the '"new" women
"Wild, cold, companionable- women," bo
writes, "breeched and gnltered girls who
will baddle up a dancing bioncho, toss
themselves athwart his sp'ne and gallop
you twenty miles before luncheon talking
politics the while. They are the future.
They are sane and salutary companions.
They are not obsessed with little parasltlo
sex intentions like the petticoated females.
They are women "
l'.VOI.L'TION OK NP.W MAN
It occurred to my Illogical feminine brain
while reading this passage that somebody
ought to be doing propaganda work to
create interest In the evolution of a new
man. There must be new man, otherwise
the new girls are going to be powerfully
lonely.
Take the men of jour ariiualntance. for
instance. Select (lie most radical, the "new
est." Preferably he should be In love with
.von, or on tlie hoiderland of love Have
the groom bring up to the curb two dancing
bronchos. Toss jouiself on the bpinc of one
of them. Did jour man do likewise. Gallop
with him twenty miles. Omit nono of the
rigors. Make it before luncheon. Assail
his political1 arguments. Open all the Bray
cells In joUr head Talk him down.
If the wind and tlie exercise makes the
color mount to jour cheeksaud he icniarkH
the fact, cast not your ejes down coyl.v.
Instead bring him sharply to himself with
nil Icy glance and a tebuklng Void, Ask
him vvlij' he hasn't enlisted '
Try the experiment
And then see it ou have a sweetheart

Personalis1, I'm awfully fond of the new
woman. But I like tho oi.e that the women
feminists portray I like the new woman of

WOMEN'S TRAITS
The whole story of civilization, Mr.
Thompson tells us, can be told In terms of
tlie garment' women have hidden them

other rights "
Dreeing like n human being, fiom the
Thompson viewpoint, is dressing like a man
that is to say in trousers Aie women
people,? Well. Iiiu'in, tt hasn't been decided
jet It would seem
Though, of course, there's nothing to bo
said against tiousers, only against Mr.
Thompson's logic, which holds that, although
the skirt Is a se dress because it has been
worn lij woman, tho trouser Isn't a sex

It would seem, have cornered tho sex

Ing to dp with sex. It's a stock they don't
deal In.
Let's have the trouser by all means. If
we want It, and If we can do our bit the
better for the wearing of It. Hut why cast
odium on the petticoat? It's been n nice
little petticoat. Sometimes It has served
an nctual esthetic purpose, hiding anatomi
cal eyf sores. Lots of men would be more
attractive for the wearing of them. Let's
not invest the petticoat with all the errors
of nn out-worn age until we discover
whether or not women remain who can be
lust ns coy and kittenish and parasitic in
their bifurcations
It's doubtful, after all If women are
people They really ate women, Just as men
nre men, and were men none the less back
In nlhllcnl times when they too had a fond
ness for skirts.
In the meantime read "Woman" If you
want to be entertained; but If you want to
know what teal feminism Is. divested of
mascullno sentimentality, look to the woman
exponents of It.
