"Have you ever met Mrs. Billy
BrownV" whispered Anne ecstatically
as she and Helen settled themselves
In their seats. They had come to an
afternoon concert at one of the de
partment stores at Anne's sugges
tion. She had been wanting Helen
to attend one of these concerts for
some time, and It had only been
lately that Helen had felt suf
ficiently Interested in such things.
"No. dear. I haven't. ' I see her
name here on the program. Do you
know her?"
"I have met her. Jack knows her
very well. She is the wife of a pro- 1
lessor and she has the most charming
voice. She sings at lots of these re
citals."
"I have always envied people who
did things like that." sighed Helen.
"Why couldn't I have been born
with a talent? I might have written
stories like Frances or sketched
like you do, or sung like Mrs. Billy
Brown. As it is. I can't do a thing
but take care of a house and bring
up my daughter."
"T think that is rather a wonderful
thing to do." said Anne.
"So Frances told me once," said
Helen, "but I notice that where it
is a question of a career you women
aro not so anxious to give up your
precious independence."
"I know it, but we envy the home
makers just the same."
"When are you going to make a
home for Jack?"
In the Fall
"In the Fall, I think. We want I
to wait until we are both settled
In our work before we plan to
gether. Besides, I don't want to give !
up living with Frances just yet."
"Don't keep Jack waiting too long, !
dear."
"Sometimes I think I can't wait till i
Fall," confessed Anne. "So you seo I '
am quite as eager as I should be."
Helen laughed. She anil Anne had
several little bundles between them.
They had been spending the day to
gether. a thing that both liked to do.
It had begun with some trifling
things that they had bad to pur
chase and then a great deal o'f "win
dow shopping," as Anne called it.
Then had sorao lunch and then they
bad drifted into the recital. Helen
was frankly interested in the af
fair. She liked the idea of listen
ing to some of the best music while
her mind was at rest and her body in
harmony.
The recital began with an orches
tral selection. .Mrs. Billy Brown
was down on the program in the
third position. Her songs were
bracketed in a series of three. Two
of them Helen knew and was very
fond of. The other she did not. but
it sounded as though It would be i
very pretty. Helen was quite anx- j
ious to hear this stranger sing. Here
was another married woman with
some other interest In her life be
sides hor husband. This problem wor
ried Helen; she had an intense long-|
ing to be more independent than she
was.
"Here She Comes!"
"Here she comes," whispered Anne,
"isn't she dear?"
And Helen found herself looking
M a tiny little woman dressed in a
dark purple gown of some soft
clinging material. A tiny little hat
with tints of pink in its wistaria
depths was perched upon a head of ■
blue-black hair, and her face was
lighted up with big brown eyes and
ti curved, mischievous mouth.
As Anne said, she was charming.
One looked at her and wanted to i
look again, she was so feminine and
appealing. Helen could almost see j
his small woman in her own home. ,
She would rule through her win->

SATURDAY EVENING,
; some imperiousness ,nnd her hus
' i band would naturally adore her.
1! Someone at the piano was play
ing a rippling accompaniment with
flute notes like a forest alive with
unseen life, and then this small
I woman raised her head and began
to sing. Helen was surprised first
and then delighted. Such a large
j voice was extraordinary. She would
' not have believed it possible, and
there was so much wnrmtli and feel
ing and velvety tenderness.
There was a storm of applause as
she ended with a clear high note, and
: then the singer came back again and
: sang a cradle song. The words were
simple, but Helen could set a room at
i twilight, a cradle and a woman's foot
i rocking it as she crooned the melody,
it was truly wonderful what an
amount of feeling this small person
could evoke.
The Meeting
"Of course you want to meet her,
don't you?" said Anne as Mrs. Billy
Brown's part of the entertainment
was over. "Let's slip out and go
around to the back. I think we'll be
able to catch her."
Helen followed Anne as tliey both
went out as quietly as possible. They
almost bumped into the little lady in
question as they rounded the alcove.
She was enveloped in a huge brown
coat with a choker collar and looked
smaller than ever.
"Oh, Bunty," said Anne, eagerly.
;"lam so glad we caught you. I want
you to meet Mrs; Curtis."
"Have you been out front?" ques
. tloned Mrs. Brown, in a musical
voice. "Tell me, Anne, did you like
my songs ?" This last was said eagerly
i almost like a child would ask the
i question.
Helen answered eagerly, too. "Oh,
we did; l was in love with them.
I particularly the cradle song, and
you did sing them so adorably."
i _ Mrs. Brown colored charmingly.
"It's so nice to have people so appre
ciative." she said.
The three women strolled leisurely
toward the elevator, talking ani
matedly. Anne was chattering gayly j
about work and Banty Brown was
asking eager questions.
A Dear
"You haven't been up to see me in
a long time," she said. "We were
saying just the other evening that you
had forgotten all about your western
friends since you came to New York.
You see," she said, turning to Helen,
"Jack Parmele came from the same
place we did in Kansas, and I have
known him all my life, it seems. Of
course we want to know Anne, too."
"Anne has spoken of you so often," !
said Helen, "but I had no idea you i
sang so well. Your husband must be i
awfully proud of you."
"Oh, he thinks it amuses me to
1 sing."
"Now Bunty," protested Anne, "you
know very well that he is just madly
in love with you. I never knew any
two people so In love," she said to
, Helen, "and her husband is terribly
proud of her voice."
"There, you see, I know nothing at \
all about it," said Mrs. Brown, "and
now people, I must really run away. ]
I am late now for an appointment.
Come and see mo some time, .Mrs.
Curtis; perhaps Anne will show yon
the way. Come up, Anne, or I shall
disown you." and with a gay little
laugh she ran off.
"She certainly Is a dear," said Helen i
Impulsively.
"Yes, she is," said Anne, "you must i
meet her husband and see them to- I
gether, Helen. Married life is ideal I
i the way they live it."

BROODING i
THROUGH
How to Operate An Incubator
to Hatch Chicks That Will
Live
Construction and Care of
Brooders and Feeding the
Chicks
By Frank C. Hare
(Poultry Husbandman, Clemaon Col
, lege, S. C.
COPYRIGHT 1916
in llie brooding of cliicks it Is essen
tial that the chicks are properly
hatched. This article explains the
laws go\eriUng incubation during tli6
last three (lays, and continues with
.simple directions for tlie construction
and operation of the brooders and the
care of the chicks to the time of wean
ing at about five weeks of age.
A WELL-HATCHED, healthy chick
grows hisself," is an old saying,
which applies to incubator
hatched chicks, for the reason that
they do not enjoy maternal attention
and protection. To have these healthy
! chicks to place In the brooder, tlie op
eration of the incubator from the
| eighteenth day to the removal of the
J brood from the machine must be gov
-1 erned by the laws of Nature. The
j last three days are most Important.
Operating the Incubator
Do not overheat the eggs and chicks
j at the pipping period. Many operators
run their Incubators at a temperature
of 102 degrees the flrst half of the
| hatch, then gradually increase the
I heat the remaining ten days until a
temperature of about 104 degrees is
i maintained from the eighteenth day
! to the close of the hatch This prac
; tlce is contrary to nature, and may re
-1 suit in less chicks hatching than when
a constant temperature of 102*4 dc
| grees is held from beginning to end.
Moisten and soften the membranes
j (skins) inside the shell of the egg to
enable the chick to emerge more read
ily. Sprinkle the eggs on the
eighteenth day of incubation with wa
ter of 106 degrees, partially withdraw
ing the trays and spraying the eggs :
lightly with a whisk broom. Sprinkle ,
the interior of the egg chamber also, 1
1 so that the glass in the door is drip
-1 ping wet.
; Maintain this atmosphere of pure.
I moist air in the egg chamber until j
the pipping Is finished. When the old- i
est chicks are dry and commence to
gasp for breath, open the door, par- 1
tlally withdraw an egg tray, remove
any dry chicks to the chick chamber ■
underneath, roll the eggs around, anil \
sprinkle the unhatched and pipped |
eggs and wet chicks with warm water j
in the manner previously described.
Hepeat this airing sprinkling several ,
I times on the nineteenth, twentieth !
and twenty-first days.
The great percentage of the em- ;
bryos that die in the shell at pipping
time aro killed by the poisonous air
|of the closed egg chamber. A sitting
hen exposes her partially-hatched
j eggs and chicks without decreasing ,
■ the hatch; she will stand in the nest
I and with her beak endeavor to help a
| chick break the shell and gain free- '
dom.
The ventilation of the egg chamber
of an incubator is insufficient to main
tain pure air, and when the chicks
gasp for breath, it is not because they
are overheated, but because they are
suffering for lack of oxygen. This is
the signal to open the door, purify
the air, and to sprinkle the eggs with
warm water to replace the moisture
that has escaped. The operation does
not require over two minutes and can
be repeated as often as necessary.
"White diarrhoea" and similar intes
tinal disturbances are caused by tills
"closed-door" treatment. Such chicks
are difficult to raise even with ideal |
brooding conditions, and are usually
I of little value.
j Hang a piece of burlap over the
glass in the door of the egg chamber
to darken the interior and prevent the
: older chicks eating the droppings. In
sert a match in Ihe crack of the door i
and leave a slight opening when the
last chick has emerged from the shell
to provide more l'resh air at this per
iod. Maintain a temperature of 102
above tlio egg tray, which will give a
temperature of about 95 degrees in
the lower part where the chicks re
main until removed to the brooder.
(It is assumed the incubator has a
chick chamber under the egg trays,
although some types do not provide
this room. In that case decrease the
temperature above the trays to 100 de
grees. )
Do cot be in a hurry to take away
the chicks; wait until the youngest
arc dry and strong on their legs. The
earliest hatched can remain in the in
cubator for from 36 to 48 hours, if
necessary, without injury, if they have
sufficient ventilation, are warm, and
do not eat any filth. This treatment,
of course, would ruin the hatch if the
I air was foul.
' Imitate Natural Brooding Methods
Before dealing with the construction
and operation of brooders, let us con
sider the natural brooding of chicks.
We cannot improve on nature, and to
achieve the greatest success, we must
understand and abide by her laws.
The temperature of the bare breast,
of the sitting hen is 104.6 degrees, a
much greater heat than the chicks re
quire; the temperature inside the
hen's wings is 99.4 degrees, but the
chicks are not compelled to remain
in either of these places. If they are
cold, they can be quickly warmed; If |
they become too warm, they can push I
-out their head or body and cool off. j
We should endeavor to obtain this I
flexible condition In artificial brood
ing.
Brooder Stoves Are Recommended
From the conditions found in nat- |
urul incubation, it would seem that]
the latest system of brooding chicks, I
the use of coal-burning or oil-burning |
brooder stoves that have a tempera- i
ture of 110 to 120 degrees near the i
stove and lower temperatures at j
greater distances, would be more sue- \
cessful than small brooders in which '
the chicks are kept at a certain heat. 1
The secret of success in brooding j
chicks is to have some warpi place (a I
hover), to which the chicks may run '
when cold, and from which they can j
move into a more moderate tempera- ;
ture when too warm. Brooders that :
do not permit the chicks to select a
comfortable heat at all times must be
operated by an expert, or the brood j
will be endangered by being over- 1
heated or chilled.
The cost of the coal-burning stove
referred to has been reduced, so that
it is possible to purchase a reliable
style that broods up to 500 chicks at
a moderate price. Such a stove is
placed In the center of a room, and
if chicks of different ages are brooded. '
the room is divided by wire partitions
IS Inches high into four pens, with
the stove at the center corner of each.
The different lots hover around the
stove at night, and will not crowd into
1 the corner because it is too warm x

AYLESBURY DUCKS
Copyright 1316
I The Aylesbury stands at the head |
! of the domestic races of ducks bred in
| England, probably because of Its rapid
j growth and early maturity. It was the
j lirst white domestic duck bred, for- j
! merly known as the White English,
i anf * I" the early part of the last cen
tury it became known as the Avles- |
i bury.
It originated in the vale of Ayles- j
[ bury, and this district bears the same |
relation to London as does Long Is- i
land to the markets of New York i
City. The difference, however, lies
I chiefly in the methods of rearing, and,
1 as a rule, the English duckyards are ;
smaller.
The Aylesbury • ducks have an al-j
most horizontal carriage: males weigh i
nine pounds and females eight pounds, i
| The plumage is white, free from tints
|in undercolor. The bill is large and
broad and of pale flesh color, with no i
trace of yellow. The skin is light
pink in color, fading dead white after I
I
( there. They prefer to sleep two or
1 three feet from the stove.
How to Make n Brooder
A simple brooder can be made from t
I a packing box 3 feet square and high, '
a common lantern, a SO-lnch length of'i
furnace pipe 10 inches in diameter, a
piece of tin or galvanized iron 14
inches square, three bricks and a pane
iof 12 by 16-inch glass. Nail up half .j
the top of the box; make the other i
i half into a door IS inches by 3 feet.
' Cut an opening 10 by 14 inches in the!
i center of the door and cover it with
the glass. If possible, arrange the '
glass to slide in grooves so that it
i can be opened for ventilation. Hinge
the door to one side of the box. The
door (originally the top of the box) j
I is the front of the brooder.
Turn the box so that the front faces
| you. Cut an opening 12 inches square
in the top of the brooder. Stand the
three bricks edgewise on the floor
| and on them place the length of fur- j
nace pipe. Insert the lantern through ;
j the top of the brooder inside the fur- j
naco pipe, allowing it to hang down !
half way. Bend a heavy wire into a :
T-shaped hook to support* the lantern
handle from top of brooder. With a ;
chisel cut a 4-inch hole at the center ;
of the piece of galvanized iron to a!- j
low the fumes of the lantern to es- !
1 cape, and place this sheet over the 12- ]
inch hole above the lantern. Take off
a board 6 inches wide from either end
at the floor for the chicks to enter
and leave the brooder. Cover this in- :
side with a strip of blanket or old !
clothes, and cut 3-inch slits every 4
inches through which the chicks can I
