6 Which Girl Would You Choose? By DOROTHY DII A young man writes me that he Is In a terrible dilemma. He doesn't know which of two girls to ask to marry. Both are nice, sweet, pretty girls, hut one of the girls is just a doll baby, while the other is a hustler. He says that If you'll give An® of the girls a few yards of cloth she can make the prettiest, trimmest dress you ever saw. and the that ahe can go Into the kitchen and before you can sav Jack Robinson she can cook a deltcious dinner, while the other girl can't sew on a button, or boil water without scorching It. And yet he doesn't know which one of these girls to pick out for a wife. It doesn't seem to me that any man, above the grade of an imbecile, would have any difficulty in deciding be tween these ladies. It's the difference between helplessness and helpfulness, between a livewire and a dead weight; between a booster and a mill stone about your neck; between com fort and discomfort; between success In life and failure. That's the difference between mar rying a girl who is some account and one who is no account, and it's up to every man to take his choice. Consider It in this way. son. If you were going into a business in which you had every dollar you had in the world invested, and In which your every hope and ambition were bound up. and you were going to take a part ner in under a contract that would last as long as you lived, what sort of a partner would you select? Would you pick out a man whom you knew to be energetic, and indus trious and capable, an a perfectly com petent to carry on his department of the business without bothering vou about it? Or would you choose a good looking chap who combed his hair the way you liked, but who had never done r or * in Ms life, and who was absolutely shiftless and irresponsible.

You would take the competent man every time. Well, son. all tnat marriage is. Is a partnership. It's a man and woman pooling their capital, and go ing into business together, and wheth er the firm succeeds or falls depends, just as much upon the woman's in dustry and ability to do her part of the work as it does upon the man. You never saw a business succeed where one of the partners was loafing around all the time and drawing out more than his share of the profits. Neither did you ever see a marriage succeed where the wife was idle, and lazv, and extravagant, and where it took all that the man could make to pay other people to do the things she should have done. Of course. If a man Is rich he can afford to indulge himself in a no-ac count wife. Just as he can afford to keep a yacht, or buy peachblow vases for parlor ornaments, but Heaven help the poor man who is fool enough to Invest his all tp such a useless piece of bric-a-brac. Before marriage It may seem very cute and cunning to a man for a girl to be so Ignorant that she doesn't know whether to order a whole lamb or a half one for dinner, or whether vou cook an egg three hours or three minutes, but. believe me. he won't see anything cute 01 cunning after mar riage in bills that bankrupt him, or meals that would give an ostrich chronic dyspepsia. The Other Side of It Also before marriage the little soft white hands that have never had a needle prick on theler fingers, or a cal lous place on their palms, may seem to a man to be the moat klssahle hands in » spending his summer vacation at the home of his sister, Mrs. J.

None of us admire Incompetence long when it stands in the way of our own comfort and prosperity, and the man who marries a woman who doesn't do her part of the work of making a thrifty and pleasant home jSretty soon comes to the place where he inier ■ tains for her the same sort of contempt that he does for a business partner who lies down on his end of the Job. Therefore, I say to any young man who is thinking of getting married, to choose his wife by the same stand ard that he would choose a business partner. Pick out a girl who knows how to work, and who isn't afraid to do It. She will make you a wife who will boost you up the ladder of suc cess. She will conserve your health, your temper and your strength, and be a blessing tg you all your days. On the other hand a lazy, idle, shift less girl, who shies at the sewing ma chine. and balks at the gas range will be a handicap as a wife that will prevent you fram ever winning the "race. If you marry her you will spend j your life toiling to pay dressmakers and milliners, you will come to haunt intelligence offices for servants, and you will waste your strength, that you should give to your business. In walk ing babies, and cooking meals, and making beds, and doing the household work that your wife should have done. Lack of energy in a woman is just as bad as lack of energy in a man. and it's just as shameful a thing for a woman not to be competent in her business as it is for a man not to be competent in his. Marry a girl who Is some account, son. and you'll get a some account wife. Take the girl who knows how to cook and sew if you want to be happy.

For the very little folk, the simplest frocks are the smartest and here is one that can be given the Empire suggestion by the use of ribbon passed through big buttonholes or made plain as liked. It I is a very charming little dress, absolutely simple in its lines, but dainty and attract ive. _ The sleeves and main portions are cut in one, consequently there are only two seams arfci making is an easy matter. On the figure, dotted muslin is trimmed with ruffles of white lawn, but in the back view, plain white lawn is made with only a hem as finish for the lower edge. The neck may be made round or high with a band, and the sleeves long or short. All the pretty dainty materials that are used for little children's dresses are ap propriate, but nothing is better than the fine muslin, cotton voiles, cotton crgpes and the like. For the 4 year size will be needed 2 yds. of material 27 in. wide, I % yds. 36 or 44 in. wide, with H yd. 27 for the ruffles. The May Manton pattern No. 8728 is cut in sizes for 2, 4 and 6 years.

The alarm ingly large number of cases of partial and total blindness which occur every year from carelessness or Ignorance shows the great necessity of the gen eral public knowing more about the eye. When you notice that your eyes feel weak, or the vision is more or less blurred at the close of the day, you should always use a few drops of Luxotone.

Try Telegraph Want Ads i Improvement of Poultry Flock Should Be Made Every. Season WHITE F'ACED BLACK SPANISH COPYRIGHT. 1916. For centuries the White Faced Black Spanish Fowls have been bred In England and Holland, and the his torians of poultrydom pronounce them one of the oldest varieties In exist ence. They are descended from the Castillan fowls of Spain, from which also the Minorcas were developed. The Black Spanish are heavy layers of large white eggs, and before the development of Leghorns were one of the most popular utility variety of poultry. Now they are bred prin cipally by fanciers, who are attracted by the difficulties of breeding them. The face, usually red on other breeds, is pure white and the throat is white with long pendulous white Vigorous Stock Necessary; Only the Best Layers Should Be Retained as Breeding Stock Use of Trap Nest Will Help Owners to Build Up Most Profitable Utility Flock By Michael K. Boyer Poultry Editor of the Farm Journal. COPYRIGHT, 1915. Selection of the right breeding stock Is an important element in the success with poultry. In tills article Mr. Boyer tells the qualities that breeding stock should possess and points out how the owner may Increase the productive ness of his flock each year by making the proper selection. ONLY by careful selection and proper breeding can we hope to build up the utility Qualities of our flocks. We must aim each year to show an improvement. It must not be forgotten that while it is important that we have good, strong hens, the Influence of the male is the greatest factor. Success cannot be obtained without good, strong, healthy breeding stock to begin with, and they must be kept in good health. A frail, delicate hen should not be permitted in the breeding pen. no mat ter how good a layer she may be. Such an Individual will produce inferior off spring on account of her own physical If we are working for egg produc tion, we must first pick out our good, strong pullets, and then secure males from a known strain of heavy layers. The trap nest must be employed so that we may know which of our pul lets are the best layers. an»breed only from them. This work of selection must not be limited to one or two years. It must be the rule every year. Male Line Should Not Be Changed Having established a record male line, it should never be changed. New blood must be infused on the female side. To change males annually would be going backward. It is well known that a pen of rec ord layers are. as a rule, an uneven lot In appearance. I have a pen of White Wyandotte hens that as year lings are doing better work than any other pen of pullets I ever owned, and I don't believe one hen In that pen would have a chance of recognition from a poultry judge. Yet I would not trade them for the best exhibition pen in the country—not for my pur pose: raising eggs for .market. There may be something In the se lection of layers according to type. When Tom Barron delivered "his lec ture at Storrs College, he said that a good layer usually stands high in front and her back is not on a level, nor the rear higher than the front. The best producers usually have large combs, high tail and a prominent, large, bright eye. Mr. Barron also said that upon handling the birds he found that most of the best layers have thin, straight pelvic bones. He likes the wedge shape, rather narrow in front, but wide behind and wide between the legs. I fully believe that, for an average, that type Is valuable, but I have hens among my x - ery best layers that are Just the reverse. Nevertheless the be ginner will make no mistake in follow ing out that class. Trap Nest Is Necessary So. rather than rely on type I will continue to resort to the trap nest. I know then that the Information I get Is bound to be accurate. There Is no other method by which It is possible to know which are the sons of the best layers. To maintain a great lay ing strain, no cockerel should be used which was not bred from hens which laid 200 eggs or more. This Is a point that must be considered seriously. Yearling hens are best for breeding. By "yearling" is meant a year from the time of its first starting to lay. In other words, the real age of a yearling Is about eighteen months. Quite a number of the breeders trap nest only the pullets, and from this record make thetr selection. Some trap nest from October 1 to June, especially those who are mating for strong winter egg production. No fowl should be used in the breeding pen that has ever been sick a day In its life. The trouble with poultry once sick is that no one can be quite Bure that they have been cured perfectly, and the weakness or tendency to disease may be transmit ted to chickens hatched from their eggs. Too much stress cannot be placed upon the importance of strong consti tutions. vigor, activity and plenty of life in the foundation stock. Inbreeding must be avoided if we wish to build up a healthy laying strain. No record hens were ever se cured by Inbreeding. At the same time no progress can be made by con earlobes often measuring 7 4 to 8 inches from top of face to lowest point of earlobe. The difficulty of produc ing these" extraordinary white faces , was really the downfall of the breed. ' The average breeder could not pro duce them and turned naturally to the Minorca, which has a red face (more easily produced), and in laying, i size and color, is th& equal of the I Black Spanish. i The plumage is a rich, glossy green- ' ish black. The fowls are moderately large, weighing from 6 H to 8 pounds for males and 5V4 to 6 % pounds for females. The hen is a nonsitter and their eggs must be hatched by other hens or artificially, tinually tampering with the male line. As said before, new blood must come through the addition of a few hens to the breeding flock. Small Flocks Best For Breeding I further believe that the strongest birds —both from health and egg production points of view—come from small families. It is Impossible to have the same stamina from flock matings that we can from single matings. The past years I have carefully Investigated the results from these large flocks and have become thoroughly con vinced that, for foundation stock, they are a failure. Proportionately more eggs are laid by small flocks than from large ones, and there is less likely to be disease. I never have had stronger or better chicks than -when I mate ten hens of the American class, or six hens of the Asiatic class, to two brothers, alternat ing them each week In the breeding pen. I have the greatest faith in this al ternating system, having followed it for quite a number of years. But I believe the males should be related, and. If possible, bred from the same hen. Now by "improving each year," I do not mean so much the increasing of the individual records as I do the In creasing of the average records for the flock. I find out which pullets lay trie most eggs from November 1 to June 1; which lay the most perfect and the best shaped eggs; and which hens show the best breeding qualities. I want to improve all the utility quali ties—and that should be the aim of all beginners. Start Small But Start Right This question of Improvement is one worthy of close study, and the beginner must be wide awake to its Importance. Start small but start right. Make the foundation good and secure. A successful poultry farm can never be built upon any but a sound foundation. As one starts he generally ends. A man beginning with mongrels will generally continue to be a mongrel breeder. One of the most successful poultry men In this country began with six strong, vigorous yearling hens that not only had a grand egg record back of them, but could likewise boast of a hardy relationship. To these was mated a strong, vigorous male bird, bred from a record hen. From that family this poultryman eventually built up the finest lot of rnoney-ma kers that I ever saw. t/OiJklng for ward and working to that end is what makes poultrymen, and likewise makes poultry strains. Having secured the required stock, the beginner must not only aim to make right from the start study their requirements, and give them the proper care. Problems That Affect Egg Production The production of eggs is af fected largely by the mating, the | time of hatching, and the selection of breeding stock. Next week Reese V. Hicks, former president of the American Poultry Asso ciation, will give practical advice on the selection and care of the flock. He will discuss, among other things, the importance of i securing vigorous chicks early in the season, and will advise regard ing the mating of the hneeding stock.
