OF INTEREST T THE STRUGGLES OF A WIFE By Virginia Terhune Van de Water CHAPTER VII. (Copyright, 1916, Star Company) To decide to use one's talent to make money is one thing; to make money by one's talent is quite a dif ferent thing. Myra Webb, like many another person who lias not put her theories to the actual test, had always de clared that if one would work for one's living, one could find an a'bun .lance of work to do. Had not she. . its a girl, proved that, young and J inexperienced as she was. she could , support herself? For a few months she had paid her own boaid and clothed herself. To be sure, "he bad married in less than half a year alter ; she bad undertaken the duties of a | social secretary —but that was onl> an ; accident. , , „ j What she had done for a few , months she could have done for an> j number of years. Moreover, s 1 could have made a living writing for magasincs and newspapers. in 1 those girlhood days she had sent a j couple of short articles to a certain publication, and they had been ac cepted. The pay she bad received had been small—but she had not de- | mantled much. I lev brief experience had convinced 1 lier that, given health and energy, one could always succeed. Therefore, with the coming of cold weather she was ready to prove her faith by her j works. . It was without fear of failure that | she engaged a maid whose salary j she meant to pay herself. As mat- j tors were now she could not ask 1 her husband to nssume another dol- I jar's worth of expense. It was all that j lie could do. he said, to provide for j their necessities, and the wife did not let him suspect that she had paid for j some things from what was left of her small savings after the crash. A Start She had, as soon as his failure was ; certain, handed to her husband all tlie j money she bad put in the savings bank j during the years of plenty. She beg- j ged him to use it to "start up the lad- 5 dor" he must begin to climb again. 1 The little cash she had besides this amounted to less than SSO, but it liad stood her in good stead in paying for 1 sundry trifles this summer. Debts still oppressed Horace Webb. I and he had accepted his wife's gift In 1 the spirit in which she had tendered' it. She had insisted that it was not to lie a loan, but a gift, and he ac cepted it with a grave expression of thanks that left her wondering just bow grateful he really was. Then she ; reminded herself with quick compunc- ; tion that he was conferring an honor | upon her in allowing her to help him. j It was the least that she could do after | the period of luxury in Which she had | lived with this man. In spite of the rigid economy prac ticed by Grace and herself, each week found them running just a little be hind in meeting expenses. "And we don't, save money by be f'ug invited out to meals,'' Grace re marked one day with a laugh, "for J nobody asks us." "Our friends will invite us when th.*y ratorn to town." Myra aYlrmed. "And we won't accept when we cannot invite them here," Grace re torted. "We can entertain them when we have a servant," her mother urged.

MONTGOMERY «««—Mhsr phone 3rd end Chestnut, Streets | SATURDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG s£jft2b TELEGRAPH MARCH 25, 1916 "Perhaps there may be a few who would care to come a second time," the girl said, musingly. "But most of the old set won't." "Then well make our own new set!" the mother declared. She would not bury herself and her daughter In this small flat and never see anybody, she determined. But first of all, there must be a maid in the household. As soon as the maid was installed. : i came the added Item of her food and I the realization that in a month her wages would fall due. Yet the housekeeper had not been unmindful of these expenses when she told the neat Irish girl that she would "give her a trial." As soon as i she, Myra, had time to write, money ! would begin to come in. And now that Lizzie was installed in the kitchen, there would be leisure in [ which to write. Th maid was not an expert cook | or waitress, but was willing to learn, and it would require only a few min utes each day to teach her the thing* of which she was ignorant. So, on the morning in early Oc ; lober when Grace began her duties at Miss I.etson's school. Myra seated herself at her desk In the corner of the diningroom, prepared to begin her new occupation. The room had been swept and dusted immediately after breakfast, so that the writer might be left un disturbed. She drew a pad of Manilla ■ paper from a drawer, and, after sit -1 ting lost in thought for some minutes, ; began an article that she was sure I would be interesting«enough to please the average editor. All Interruption She wrote rapidly, and so earnestly that it was with a distinct shock that I she returned to the present and to the realization that t/izzje had entered the room and was speaßing to her. "What—what Is it?" Mrs. Webb I asked confusedly. "1 only wanted to tell you. ma'am. 1 that the butcher's boy has just come I to say that they can't get no lamb's 5 kidneys to-day. Lamb's a bit scarce just now, he says, and lamb's kidneys. Lambs have not come up from down town yet." I "Well—well—what of that?" Myra I asked. "1 can do nothing about it i now." "No, ma'am, only you ordered kid ney stew for dinner to-night, and I 'list wanted you to know we can't I have it." "When 1 go out this afternoon I will order something else sent in," the | mistress said, forcing herself to speak | gently. "Now, Lizzie, I am very busy. I so please do not interrupt me again." j It took at least ten minutes for I Myra to get back into the mood from I which she had been snatched by the I news about the lambs' kidneys. When, at last her thoughts began to flow once more, she had a quiet half hour ! before she was again disturbed by Liz j zie who entered, indignation on her flushed countenance. "If you please, ma'am." she an nounced. "the grocer's sent such ran cid butter that you'll never eat it for your lunch —never!" With a sigh, Myra Webb,, would-be writer, turned her mind from litera ture to butter. She was beginning to learn already that the woman who would be both writer and housekeeper has not an easy task ahead of her.

Shoulder capes are among ihe latest and most interesting features of fashion and this costume shows a very attractive one. It i 9 edged with fur and finished with the flaring collar that makes a pretty frame for the face. The costume is made of broadcloth in a rich dark shade of red and the fur is skunk. The color combina tion is as good as the design. Altogether the suit is one to be admired and to be copied. As a matter of course, various 1 materials can be used, unquestionably broadcloth is and will continue to be the favorite, velvets and velveteens are handsome made in this way, satin cloth is fashionable and the list goes on almost indefinitely. For the present, there is 110 finish better than the fur banding but girls thinking of the South or the coming season will like to know that braid band i ing will be much used. The skirt is a •imple two-piece one, in semi-circular style. The coat consists of the blouse and peplum joined by means of a belt. Both are so easy to make that they are especially valuable for the home dress maker. For the 16 year size the coat will require, 4 M yards of material 36 inches wide, yards 44 or 2\% yards 54 with 6 yards of fur Handing. For the skirt will be needed, yards of material 36 inches wide, aj* yards 44 or 54, with 2% yards of ftir banding.

B. Smith Author and Practical Poultr.vman COPYRIGHT 1916. j This is an age of miracles. You can sail ON" the sea, UNDER the sea, or 1 ABOVE the sea. You can sit in an easy chair in Xe\v York City ami talk wllli your friend in San lYaneiseo. Tlie "Wireless" pulses your message j through five thousand miles of etlier us quickly as you could dictate it lo a I stenographer. Our modern wizards of progress arc performing; greater won ders than the ancient masters of the "Black Art" ever attempted. The feats of science are equally as tounding ill the animal kingdom. Min nesota announces that one of her llol stein-l'rlesian cows, "Duchess Sky lark Ormsby," lias produced an aver age of more tlian I pounds of butter a day for twelve consecutive months! i And now we have the amazing output of a threc-and-a-half-pound Leghorn | hen—3l4 eggs in 365 days! Wliat does it mean? I.et us see. Economic Value of Oic lien SHE has proved her worth. She has the goods and can deliver them. This astounding perform ance makes plain the wealth ot' possi bilities in every man's dooryard flock. The expert tells us that there are more than 7,000 latent eggs in the normal hen. One individual has shown that she can lay hundreds of these hidden, dormant, potential pos sibilities in twelve months. If one can do it, then others can. No one expects seven thousand eggs from any hen, however long she may live. But every one knows now that he need not go round the world to find his "Acres iof Diamonds." One American hen has shown us that there is as great , economic value !>i her as can be found, weight tor weight, in any animal in ! the world. What then? Simply this: It is up | to us to make the most of the domes- ; | tic fowl. She has the eggs and she is never happier than when laying them. The hen that can lay 200 eggs in a year has become common. Her dis- 1 covery is of recent date, however. A j dozen years ago there were few who i believed that such a producer could , I be bred. To-day the SOO-egg hen has j j been discovered in various pa. ts of , - the country. The evidence is so over- ] whelming that millions of the Amer- : ! lean people are challenged to dig for I j the diamonds that are hidden away j !in the common hen. Yes! The pro ducing power is in the little hen—not 1 | n shadow of doubt remains. What aiv j we going to do about it? She is able- j and willing: are we willing and able? j It isn't a matter of a particular) breed. There ate a dozen breeds of ; fowls that can be depended upon for I the high economic values if > ightl.v j handled. The egg-laying contests In i various parts of America as well as : in Australia prove that most of the | common breeds of fowls have mar-; velous possibilities in egg production when handled rightly. While tho j I heavier breeds may be slightly inferior j [to some of the smaller breeds in aver- , i age egg production, they have points; ! of superiority in other respects that ; make them of equal \nlue. The man j ! behind the bird is the determining ! factor. "Lady Eglantine" with her 314-eggj ! record has set the whole continent In i search of poultry possibilities. Prac ! tically everybody outside the large I cities keeps fowls. This amazing i year's work of one hen has been her- J ' aided from ocean to ocean. It will I j mean a powerful stimulus to the. I movement already widespread to make j the most of the utility value of the j | backyard flock as well as of the tens j of thousands of birds herded together ! I on the million-egg farm. The average yearly yield of the.: I farm flock is about 70 eggs for each I hen. This is the finding of the De partment of Agriculture at Washing ! ton. We write it and read it with shame! It is surely a long, long way from 70 to 314! The world is on fire to-day over "Economic Efficiency." Most certainly the figures that are before the American people to-day will mean a mighty stride forward In egg production. Otherwise we prove our economic deficiency. A farmer told me the other day J that he keeps 75 hens and that they j "eat their heads off two or three times a year." It's a long look from such a , story to that of another farmer who kept 400 layers last year and reports ja profit of $l,lOO. above the cost of j their feed. The man who can't get paying re- j suits from n flock of hens to-day must . I hold himself responsible. If he does I not resort to every possible method to I Increase his egg production he must confess that lie is not interested in poultry culture, or that he is hope lessly sunk in the ruts of a former generation. I What splendid stimulus Ae have in Ownership Management the eye, as well as a producer for the table, the Golden Polish will be found j both pleasurable and profitable. The hens are nonsitters, hence their eggs must be hatched by other hens or by j artificial means. The chicks are j rather delicate, unless kept dry. Damp J j '—ound or damp coops are fatal to j young Polish. They should never be ] reared in large open spaces, as their I crests prevent them from seeing the j hawk in time to avoid capture. In size these fowls compare with the Leghorn and weigh about the ; same. They are very fine boned and t ; carry a larger proportion of desirable meat. The legs are blue, or, in old specimens, white; the skin is white, j | and each fowl has a round protuber- j j ance on its skull, from which the . I feathers of the crest grow. these record birds'. Why may not : every one of us start an egg-laying - | contest right at home with the pur- ; pose of increasing our egg yield, by spotting the mere boarder and breed ' itig better birds for the tilling of the j egg basket? A liberal estimnte of the j | cost of feed for one hen for one. year j j would be $1.50. Allowing a yearly j production of only 120 eggs, there 1 will still be'a profit above iter feed of j $1.60, with eggs at 30c a dozen. An increa'se of 30 eggs a year to the fowl above this would mean an average ]of only 150 eggs for each layer. But i it would mean an increase of $1,500 ; a year profit on a plant carrying 2,000 layers. This average would still be less than half the record of the top notch bird. Here is where the American people can cut "the high cost of living" by half a billion dollars a year, namely, 1 by increasing the average egg yield ; or the common hen from 70 a year to | 1 40 a year. Poultry Culture a National Industry The modern high-record hen should mean this "unquestioned recognition." j Poultry Culture has come to stay. We are forced under the circumstances ; to rank it with dairying, wheat and j corn production, lumbering, manu- I facfuring, or any others of our great ; national industries. I Two decades ago men made merry ! with the "poultry business"! There was good cause for this in many cases. , It was the day of beginnings in the building up of the modern egg ma chine. At present there are plenty of i plants handling thousands and even tens of thousands of birds. I visited | one farm last summer where more ; than forty thousand fowls more than i three months old were then being ' cared for. The same farm has an in ' cubator cellar with a total capacity of 48,000 eggs. I visited another farm ; which had a producing • capacity of | 250,000 baby chicks a year. Such ex ; tensive plants usually handle ten thousand or more layers. From 50 to 300, and sometimes as high as 700, ! birds are kept in a flock. Smaller plants for intensive egg pro duction are numerous and multiplying rapidl-- all over the land. A "One j Man Farm" is supposed to handle ■ from 1,000 to 2,000 laying hens, the "one man" '-equiring an assistant dur ing the. busv season of incubation and i brooding. These intensive and exten sive plants, taken in connection with I i'te tens of thousands of people on the farms and in the towns who keep j fowls in smaller flocks, lift poulry cul ! I 1 " -*" to the rank of any of the great | industries of the country. The 300- ; e>rg hen puts her seal of certainty on | the proposition. If one can lay 314 i eggs In twelve months there should be millions in America that can lav 200 eggs apiece. I This is not least. In fact It is pri- i mary.
