girl who Is a true daughter of the coun-

a light whose shadow covers tears and
sorrow or the plessor' that is but a
mask for pain. . We are told that the
"glamour" of the et0 life la the force
that ars'wa the contitry girls to town.
Nothing of the sort. There L little
glarnour shout the city for the be,tltby

girl when ahe •Anda herself in the city
is "hew dirty" or "bow awfully crowd-
ed." But notwithstanding the dirt and
the crowds she often remains. She
stays bemuse she li ambitious to base
• "career." There li a true hearted
feruer boy heck home probably who
would be glad to take ber into part-
nershipBut to the past the girl has
seldom been taught to look forward
with pride to becoming a fanners wife
or to regard a life -on the farm es be -
Ing n career worthy of her ambition.
This is the natural outcome of tete
eondltlows for the quarter of a eels.
toil when farmer* were selling their
produce below cost The lot of the
farmers wife was one of almost un-
relenting toll. ai was that of the
farmet himself. 'Iden was little to
tighten the memetoay of the 'easel'.e
grind of housework. Derr horizon
:was limited by the kitchen walls, and
ber highest ambition was to keep the
boys out of tbe "best room." It 1.
little wonder that she boped tor some•
thing better for ber daughters. She
saw unfolding In them her own girl-
hood, and .he dreaded to sea them
upend, their fives 2i the hopeless tut
of keeping body and roul1ogetber as
the bad thins.
Iler Met of city lite was vague.•
Most of the rats women she saw
were well dratted, unwrinkled and
seemtugly happy. They were living
tbe kind of life ahe would choose
for her daughter. The toil of the
whist of the poorer laborers sbe did
not see. One of the main reasons
that all through this peeled the coon•
try looked op to the city and the city
tooted down ea the comats7 was lbat
eaoutry people saw oily the best aide
of the city and thrclty people saw
ohly She worst side of the country.
The change that has come about In
country life In the past decade and a

aro telling away from their land that
they can hardly believe that the time
has come when the farmer' le getting
eoongb for his produce to enable him
to put farming on a business basis.
Probably this change has affected no
ORO on.the farm more than the woe *es.
Tbo country girl bas a different Idea
of a career now. She Ilyes la a mod.
ern farm borne. or if oho doesn't she
knows that such homes exist and are
well within the range of possibility tor
her. 'She bas bad ber longing to see
the world satisfied Eby visits to city
friends and relatives, She bas seen
that all the conveniences of city homes
are duplicated In the country. Ohs
has admired the spacious lawns and
beautiful grounds of some of the beat
of the city houses, but she has bees
observant enough to note that such
houses belong only to the few. She
has gone to the theater With ber
friends and enjoyed it, but no more
thou she enjoys the homemade the-
atricals In her home town or the plays
and lectures sbe-bas attended In the
larger country toai'na by trolley. Sb.,
has been surprised to And that her
friend -s In the clty do bei know their,
next door neighbor. The excuse (bat
"they are not In our set" bas puzzled
her democratic little soul. It is dif-
ferent In the country, wbere every one
sympathizes with every one else's sor-
rows and laughs with all In their Joys.
The girl comes back from a do to
the city better satisfied than ever with
tier couutry borne. Her father tiny
not Ile worth more than $5,000 or $10,-
000 or $15,000 measured in money, bat
his house and grounds are equal la all
essential respects to many of the mil-
Ilonalres' residences abs saw to the
city. ller girl friends In the city were
coaxing their father to bay them an
automobile so that they could "go
somewhere." The couptry girl and her
mother bare a horse .and buggy that
*rasa red to their use. The horse Is so
gentle that be 'will not even bat his
eyelid t an automobile and the buggy
so shin that they are proud (o be seen
enywbeip' to 1t- They can hitch op
and go Where and when they, please.
The laundry In the basement has tat -
en away t e terrors of wash day. This
convent' in the kitchen have great-
ly lessen the work of feeding tbs
hungry (nen\ folks.
The ferm.\reading table la strews
with the fat t magazines, and the gilt
one of the middle west -
ba' a piano at least so organ. A
piano dealer in
ern states rec
oily told me that he
fold fifteen pia os to the farmers in
one township la t year. if the farm-
er's daughter wa is a plate) be is go-
ing to get It for h r. He may have to
raise a few more h next year to pay
for it, bot that 1a easily done.
,. Taking everything together, any coma
perlaons that the country girl may be
able to draw are favorable to the farm.
Elbe bas been raised in the open air.
The pigs and the calves and the cbkk-
ens are ber playmates. The colts will
come when she whistles, for wbo ever
beard of a country girl who couldn't
whistle? She can name all the trees
In the wood lot, and she knows the
mite of every bird that latngs 1n their
branches. Every day la fall of gum
shine. and she sings for the very joy
of thing wbere air is Ree and room la
ntit bought and sold.
She still longs for a career, but it is
a career of a different sort. She wants
to live the rest of her life on the farm,
end eke looks forward to the day when
she will go into partnership with tome
ambitions, resourceful young farmer.
