Miles and miles of emerald wheat fields, and all along the roadside the fragrant wild cherry, housing the red bird and oriole; meadow land splotched with verbena and mustard, world gorse and heather; and reminiscent.

berries and blackberries trailing their white blossoms in and out among the wild grape vine and bitter sweet. Farmhouses sheltered by stately trees; herds of cattle and flocks of sheep grazing; little children, with their happy greetings as you pass them -who wouldn't be homesick for all this loveliness? A FLOWER LOVING FARMER. And supposing, to all this bounty of Nature, a certain farmer has a love so deep for every flower that grows that he must add a bit to the beauty that surrounds him and make of flower growing a pastime? A motorist, rolling along the Hill and Lindsay Road on the way to Greenwood, came upon a comfortable farm house to the side of which was a great bed 1 of pansies, "laughing and dewy-eyed with glee." Such luxurlipped, iant growth of pansies would be unusual anywhere and one would not expect to find it right out in the sun in a southern exposure. So the motorist wanted to know how it was done. A knock at the door brought a pleasant faced little woman, who, in answer to the query, "Please, please tell me how grew these lovely pansies," replied that' her husband grew the flowers and that he was in the vegetable garden.

With the guidance of a small apple checked boy, the pansy grower was found finishing the planting of a very straight row of beans. "How did. I grow the pansies? Why, I just sowed the seed in September and gave them a little covering of straw in the winter, and in the early spring I transplanted them." Sounded so simple. "You must love flowers to get sults," continued the questioner. THEY CALLED HIM A "SISSY." "Loved them all my life.

When I was a little boy I had a flower bed of my own plaited Georgette. A bit of lace adorns and it grew bigger every year, and I would rather work in it than play ball. One day someone hollered 'sissy' at me over the garden fence, and I quit my garden. But about ten years ago thought I was old enough to do as pleased, and salahad quit caring about what people I commenced where happy left off, years. and I they will have be 85 been years ten old mighty the last day of this month, and while I play in the garden I work too.

to sawing wood, for I chopped down the trees and sawed every stick of wood we burned last winter." The bed of lovely pansies is only the prelude to garden. There is a small "plantation devoted to fifty varieties of peonies. Here have been tested peonies from seed, most interesting experiment. Row after row of rare dahlias, sweet peas, hedges of sweet grass pinks, and patches of every flower known to garden lore, some A BLACK AND BROWN COMBINATION. 00 A combination of black and brown is quite chic this spring.

It is noted in this afternoon frock of Georgette satin. The tiny vest is brown and the long, loose draped hem is faced in brown. Is is 12 Kitchenette Butter Making "We make all our own butter," said a young soldier husband, proudly, "This is how we manage it. We buy a half pint of cream each morning, and do not use it all for the breakfast coffee. My wife is still using her window box refrigerator, and these sultry days, the cream frequently sours.

So every other day we the cream in a small bowl, and beat it with an egg beater. In minutes we have butter. make it into a little pat and work it just as they do on the good old, farm. we wash it with plenty cold water, press out the milk, salt it, and, believe me, those two little pats of butter taste '80 much better than the 70-cent a pound creamery kind that I am disappointed if a cool day comes and keeps the cream sweet." And the woman to whom he made his brag of making butter in a tiny apartment kitchenette was so much interested that she tried it, too, and found that half pint of sour cream made five fair a sized butter balls. Only, she didn't buy the cream on purpose to make butter.

PUSS IN THE BABY CORNER. You've surely seen her around the big department store she calls hometortoise shell cat, the shiny black only accenting the snowy white yellow. fur, for Puss-Cat is immaculate. She has been an active member of the working force of the store ever since that day, ten years ago, when they found her, a funny little fist full of fur curled up in the basement. She qualified that first day by catching a little mouse, and, now that she is of mature age, she considers it a very poor day's work when she doesn't catch at least half a dozen full sized rats.

Puss is discriminating, and for the last four years has raised her families of little kits in the baby department of the store. She seems to know that the women and girls in this department know all about the proper clothing and diet for babies. A wooden box is arranged for her under a counter, and so good a disciplinarian is she that customers rarely see the kittens, and homes INTRODUCING PUSS-CAT. are found for them as soon as they are old enough to leave their mother. A floorman once complained to the management that he didn't approve of the cat; that he thought a high class department store was not the place for a cat, anyway.

"Well," replied the member of the firm to whom he was complaining, "it you don't like her you can leave. I can replace you easier than I can cat." Puss-Cat's standing with the big men of the store was established right then, and ever since it has been popular speak well of cats in general, and PussCat in particular. An Elephant Quilt for the Baby. The elephants, doing all sorts of circus stunts, are of white, on a border of blue chambray, and it is one of the cunning. est baby quilts you ever saw.

Oven French Fried Potatoes. "These French fried potatoes are the best I ever ate," said the husband of an inventive cook. "They are not French fried," replied the wife. "They are American baked. You see, during the war days and fat restrictions I tried many ways to save fat, and in trying I struck upon this delicious method of imitating French fried potatoes.

They are oven fried, really." And this is how it is done, and they really are delicious: Wash and pare Irish potatoes as usual and cut as for French fries. Put a generous tablespoon of grease--bacon drippings are fine for this purpose- -in a pan, when it is melted, throw in the sliced potatoes, not letting them be too deep, then set the pan in a hot oven and occasionally stir them SO as to brown evenly. Two pie pans of potatoes make enough for four people. When they are crisp and brown, remove from oven and salt. About half an hour will be required for cooking.

The result is no odor of burning fat and not half the grease required for regular French fried potatoes. Molasses Cup Cakes. One cup of butter, of sugar, 6 eggs, 5 cups of sifted flour, 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, 2 tablespoons of ginger, 3 teacups of cooking molasses and 1 heap. ing teaspoon of soda. Stir the butter and sugar to a cream; beat the eggs very light, the yolks and whites separately, and add to it; after which put in the spices; then the molasses and flour in rotation, stirring the mixture all the time; beat the whole well before adding the soda and but little afterward.

Put into well-buttered patty-pan tins and bake in a very moderate oven. of Crisp Adorably Different an entirely exquisite, new adherent conception face of powder what you should thomahi "just a little better then the one you was best" -that is charming Day Dream Face Powder.

Miss Marion S. Bettle, a volunteer worker, who has been in charge since it was opened fourteen months ago, and who has been largely instrumental in making this branch a remarkable success, has resigned its management, and the new salvage room is in charge of Mrs. G. C. Shackelford, who has been an active.

worker in other branches of Red Cross work. "Many people ask why the salvage department continues its said Mrs. Shackelford. "The real facts are, the money obtained from this department is more needed now than ever before. As long as the home service, canteen and home nursing activities continue, money will be needed to pay the maintenance and all of these activities will continue until our last boy is safely home." Expenses attendant on the homecomings of our soldiers and sailors have been exceptionally heavy the past few weeks.

There is always a market for used articles, and mo.e of the better class of clothing is asked for. If Kansas City housewives have not yet cleared out the attic and sorted out the winter clothing, when they do so, they should remember the salvage department. Household chinaware and clothing are always in demand. A real service is done people who like good clothes and yet cannot pay the high prices asked for new garments, and who patronize this department of the Red Cross. "It is not the very poor who are our customers," Mrs.

Shackelford explained. "It is the persons who are thrifty, and who realize that here they can often obtain serviceable articles at only a fraction of what they would cost elsewhere." If those wishing to give to this work to deliver their gifts, the department will send for the articles. The telephone numbers are South 3019, on the Home, and Main 7420, on the Bell telephone.
