Things to Make for Christmas 
The Wise Woman Starts Planning 1 Now—Beginning Housekeeping

T HINGS to make! Christmas means 
busy hours of preparation and the 
sooner you start, the prettier things you 
will have ready as gifts. 
American Agri¬ 
culturist patterns 
are planned for the 
home woman, the 
woman who likes to 
sew, but has not 
much time to waste 
on unnecessary frills 
and furbelows. Pat¬ 
terns for gifts, like 
those for clothes, 
are smart without 
being fussy. 
For a very few 
cents you can make 
any of the articles 
shown in the small 
pictures. Every 
man likes—and gets 
—plenty of ties for 
Christmas, hut a 
well-made shirt is 
as necessary and 
even more welcome. 
Children adore 
“cuddle dolls” and 
washable ones are 
easy to make. The 
lady of the house 
is “crazy about” 
the new smart pil¬ 
lows, in odd shapes 
and colors, and these 
too cost little to make from gay hits of 
material. 
So you have a gift for every member of 
the family, and it is not a hit too soon to 
start in making them. 
A good many more, with fascinating 
embroidery designs, are illustrated in our 
fall and winter Fashion Magazine. It 
is ten cents. Patterns are twelve cents. 
Embroidery transfers are fifteen cents. 
No more inexpensive styles can he found 
anywhere and no other patterns surpass 
ours in style or simplicity. Send your 
order with correct remittance to Pattern

Beginning Housekeeping 
Y OUNG people who begin housekeep¬ 
ing with everything new can follow 
the ideas of the present time and furnish 
according to their taste. But a great 
many of the autumn brides will have to 
build their home in an old house that is 
far from her ideal. But paint and paper 
works wonders; and there is great satis¬ 
faction and enjoyment in making a house

Just How Good Coffee Can Be. 
NONE BETTER AT ANY PRICE 
into a home. Every hit of labor put into 
it will make it so much dearer to her. 
The first requisite is comfort and good 
light. Easy chairs and pleasant surround¬ 
ings are strong factors. It is not wise to 
economize on our beds and beddings. 
A really comfortable bed means mud) to 
us after a day of hard work. Poor springs 
and humpy mattresses are much too 
common. It is estimated that one third 
of our life is spent in bed, so if we have to 
economize let it be on something else, 
and have a comfortable resting place 
when we lay our weary bodies down for 
the night. 
Good lighting facilities are a blessing. 
A home having gas or electricity needs 
no discussion. If those methods of 
lighting are not available, there are 
mantel lamps, both kerosene and gasoline, 
which are very satisfactory and quite 
inexpensive. They give a strong, clear 
light, very agreeable to the eyes, are 
perfectly safe and operate easily. Seated 
near one of these, the good man can read 
his daily and the bride do her embroidery 
without eye strain. Then again, it is not 
economy to scrimp on working utensils, 
especially in the kitchen. With good tools 
better work is done in less time and the 
young housekeeper will have more time 
for other pursuits.— Mrs. George Gray. 
“Do You Know That”

The Trouble Maker 
(Continued from page 329) 
“Sort of peaceful, ain’t it, Brad?” 
said Jim. “If only a feller could get 
hold of a little more money so he wouldn’t 
have to worry all the time, the country 
would sure be a great place to live in.” 
“You’re right,” replied Bradley, “and 
anyway the country is the place to raise 
a family.” 
“Yeah, if you have one to raise, and 
I’ll say the folks who first settled this 
valley had ’em, and to spare. I’ve heard 
Dad tell that in his father’s day there was 
hardly a family in these parts that did 
not have some six to a dozen kids. There 
was a big bunch on every farm in both 
the hills and the valleys, and the old red 
schoolhouse was crowded to the door.” 
“Same was true all through the East,” 
said Bradley. “That Avas the day before 
the large cities and the country folks 
far outnumbered the city dwellers. Such 
great families and so little to do with 
were mighty hard on the women, though. 
There is an old saying that it took at 
least two New England mothers to raise 
one New England family. It sometimes 
makes me tired to hear some of you 
farmers talk about the abandoned farms 
and the boys going away to the city. 
What the deuce would you do uoav if a lot 
of them hadn’t gone? You farmers 
would holler worse than you do now if all 
the folks had stayed here and competed 
with you in trying to make a living from 
these rocks. Instead, they went to the 
city and made a market for your prod¬ 
ucts.” 
“ T EXPECT you’re right', Brad. There 
are still too many farmers working 
too hard and too long. All summer long 
you can sit on this old stoop until after 
dark and hear the rattle of mowing 
machines and later the reapers driven by 
men so scared of old man Poverty, who 
camps on their dooUsill, that they dassn’t 
stop ivork long enough to even eat and 
sleep. And in the morning, too, I don’t 
need any alarm clock, for about four 
o’clock there comes floatin’ in through 
my bedroom aa indoW the brass-lunged 
voices of old John Kortright on one side 
and John Ball’s hired man, Bill Mead, on 
the other, calling their coavs for the 
morning milking. 
“Sometime, maybe, if a poet ever 
happens to get up early enough in the 
morning to hear it, he may Avrite a real 
poem about the rallying call of the herds¬ 
man. Old neighbor John over here falls 
out of his bed and before he is more than 
half awake, he starts for the pasture 
pulling on his pants and his boots, and 
hollering in a voice that ought to raise 
the tlead if it doesn’t the cows, ‘Ca-boss, 
ca-boss, ca-boss.’ You can hear him 
rounding up and swearing at each cow 
until he drives her up and starts her 
with the rest of them toward the barn, 
‘ Whey there, blankety-blank you! Whey ! 
Whey!’ So the dairyman’s day begins, a 
couple of hours before the city man has 
to get out of bed.” (To be continued)
