Esmeralda Paints Her Pantry. 
Last Fall, when all her family was 
away and she was keeping old maid’s 
hall, Esmeralda decided to paint her 
pantry. It was something she had 
been trying to do for years, but there 
had never been such a good opportunity 
as this. She bought her paint and 
made her plans, deciding that a week 
would be ample time in which to do 
the work. This was her first mistake. 
Her second one was when she had a 
friend help her move the dishes out of 
the pantry into a little unused bedroom. 
I he friend put the dishes wherever her 
sweet fancy dictated, so that when Es¬ 
meralda wished to find a certain sauce¬ 
pan or spider, in which to cook her 
meals, she had to institute a searching 
party all by herself, and this took time 
and patience. But she did not mind 
this very much because she was so glad 
that she had all the things in the little 
room, where she could shut the door on 
the confusion which soon resulted. 
The pantry was a dark, dingy yellow, 
THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
16 S 
the whitewash on the ceiling had 
chipped and scaled, but the previous 
Spring Esmeralda had washed it off, so 
the surface was all ready for the paint. 
She had tired of papers on the shelves, 
so she decided to paint the walls, ceil¬ 
ing, window frame and door a bright 
sunny yellow, and the shelves and win¬ 
dow sash a glossy white. This would 
brighten up the pantry, which was quite 
dark, as the window opened on a cov¬ 
ered porch. She had been troubled 
with mice, so she found the hole, and 
closed it with a piece of tin which she 
nailed on securely. Then she nailed a 
narrow strip of wood along the back of 
one of the shelves about two inches 
from the wall. This made an excellent 
rest for plates, platters and shallow 
dishes which could be stood on edge. 
She put on the yellow paint first. It 
was ready-mixed paint, and as some¬ 
times happens, it was very slow about 
drying. Consequently it was a week 
before she put on the second coat. The 
paint was too yellow, so she toned it 
down with some of her white paint, and 
she put in some “(Trier.” The second 
coat dried quickly, but it did not look 
quite even, the darker paint showing 
through in streaks, so she put on a third 
coat. By this time Esmeralda’s spirits 
were quite low. It was such slow work 
painting, and she recalled with some 
bitterness the paint man’s advice to 
“take plenty of time.” When she be¬ 
gan on the shelves a new difficulty pre¬ 
sented herself. Her paint brush, which 
was a nice wide one, had too long a 
handle to go between the shelves. She 
tried a smaller brush, but it took so 
much longer that she grew desperate and 
shortened the handle of the large one. 
The third coat of paint was “high 
gloss white,” and as she spread it care¬ 
fully her spirits came up and up. The 
former painter had not bothered with 
the under side of the lowest shelves 
and other out-of-the-way places, but 
Esmeralda painted everything, so that 
all would be sweet and clean. Finally 
she painted the floor a dull yellow. 
Then was Esmeralda delighted with her 
handiwork. She would stand at the 
door and look in with the greatest satis¬ 
faction. She did not “move in” for a 
week, so that the paint would be per¬ 
fectly dry and hard. The work had 
taken her four weeks instead of one, 
for she had many other things to do, 
and there were some days each week 
when she could not paint at all. 
When the dishes were all moved 
back and arranged in perfect order, the 
pantry was very attractive. The 
shelves were so smooth and glossy that 
it was very easy to wipe them off if 
anything was spilled. It was a pleas¬ 
ure to work in there, as the former 
gloom had given place to an almost 
sunny appearance. As Esmeralda re¬ 
flected on her four weeks of labor, and 
in her mind’s eye saw again the con¬ 
fusion of her temporary pantry, she 
gave a sigh of satisfaction and said 
with emphasis, “It was worth it.”

A MAN’S DISPOSITION 
is, without doubt, seriously affected by the 
ciimatie conditions which surround him 
ARE YOU PLEASANTLY LOCATED? 
Are you shut in by the ice and snow of a rigor¬ 
ous winter, with naught but a cheerless sky to 
gaze upon) What of your lands now? Covered 
with snow? How about your stock? Have to be 
kept housed and fed? 
The farmers in our territory are plowing,their 
stock grazing on the hillsides, and in the famous 
Manatee section growers are shipping their pro¬ 
ducts to Northern markets, receiving remark¬ 
able prices for same due to the season. 
Chir lands are just as fertile as yours, produce 
just as much and at a time when prices are the 
best. It’s a duty you owe yourself and family to 
look into this. 
CLIMATE IS A MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR 
in connection with the profits, as well as pleas- 
are, to be derived from your location. 
Wouldn’t you like to be pleasantly situated, 
surrounded by climatic conditions which permit 
work to be carried on the entire year, and where 
the struggle for existence against the elements 
of a frozen North is not known? 
The climate in the six States traversed by our 
line is unsurpassed anywhere, and the profits 
being derived by those who only a few years ago 
were battling with the rigors of winter in a 
northern location is evidence of the value of our 
lands. Do you expect to remain where you are 
and keep up the struggle? Why not come down 
into southern sunshine and be pleasantly located 
while at the same time you are deriving big 
profits from from your crops?
