A bright woman correspondent of Country Gentleman writes u follows: Once In awhile most farmers' wives, I think, get Ured of their everyday du ties and occupations -out of tune with their work and surroundings. The best medicine for snob a complaint is change. They should go to the home of some city cousin, of which most of ns have a few, and compare conditions. The first thing we notice is lack of room, which Is a painful want to those of us who have been brought up in the big country. What comprises a home in a large city can oflrn be con- AT ♦ 1101111•11 SAss. tanned almost on one floor of a'coun- try house and the tiny dooryard be covered with • god sized tablecloth. Everything, too, emits so much -even the air, we get so little, and we sigh In vain for the cooling breezes that are nearly always to be found some- where on our farm home. City women, however, have a good many advantages that their country friends mina. They have more time for rest, recreation and reading Their homes, being small, are more easily eared for. The men of the household are eseelly away through the day. Fruit, vegetables sad gro- ceries are brought to the door, and it 1. always possible to And some one to do the wont. This chances to shop and attend bargain sakes are right at hand. There are also theaters, lec- tures, concerts and In the summer numberless little Isxcursions that are not expensive and make a delightful change. When we visit the city- we enjoy these privileges very much. It we go in the summer, however, we hardly get home before our visit Is re- turned. Our city friends think it costs country people scarcely anything to have company -they raise so much of their food, and they have plenty of room anyway. Bo U we go for one week they return us two or three. If not more. They always get the best of us, we can be certain of that, nud bow they enjoy the drives, fruit, milk and outdoor life -even better than we do the city pleasures, which tire us even while they entertain, so that we are glad to go home, glad to return to the simple life and take up our o111 work. We ail have, I believe, some city friends whom we visit seldom and whose coming we look forward` to with dread. Their children are un- ruly, and they don't wish them to be corrected. They keep our houses and lawns untidy with their hate, wraps and papers, while in their own homes Ta=il OQLD>f>W Ala they are eztremely particular and don't want to have a thing out of place. There are others Wbe feel superior to us. they view the farmer and his family with pity, almost with con- tempt. They think farm life is so soli- tary, farm earnings so small! Yet they like to partake of the farmers' hospitality even while they try to ex- cite envy and discontent. cud 1 thicqk they really like to have us visit thelia; mostly, though, tar the purpose of showing us their lazartee and advan- teges which we do not possess. Ruch acquaintances shield never be Invited to repeat the Bret visit. We should speed the parting guest and discour- age them from nig again.
