FOR FARMERS' WIVES.
What They Need 1s an Occasional
Change of Scene.
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-

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.
Seldom is a woman as strict with
her children as she is with her hus-
band.
