—21–Paper Chase mi Holly gill,
There is ono place in Bei'miele
where so much holly grows that the
spot is known as holly Mil. At
Christmas time young folks irodn all
.over the island go to the hill to gather
holly for Christmas decorations, but
at" other times of tee' yeas the hill is
almost deserted except for the red-
birds and the bluebirds•bliat sing in
the • thickets beside the little narrow,
paths winding up and down in every
direction.
The many little paths make Holly
Hill a fine place for games and oape-
cially for the game of paper Cbase, for
the paths aro like trails through a
wilderness,
Betty hacl never played, paper chase
on Holly Hill, because her brothers
and sister thought she was not big
enough, though she was seven years
old. Her dearest friends were twins
named Susan and Mary, and they, too,
were seven years old.
Betty and Mary and Susan had
played paper chase among themselves.
hi their own gardens from the time
they were babies; but now they want-
ed to play it on Holly Hill with the
older boys and girls,
One day when Betty's sister Mabel
and her brothers Fred and Peter were
wondering where they could find other
boys and girls of their own age to
come and play paper chase with then),
Betty said, 'Please let us play with
you! Please do!"
"But you are too little, Betty,"
Mabel said, "If you should fall down
and bump your nose you'd cry, and if
you saw a cow you would be so
frightened you'd scream." •
"Mabel," Betty answered, "if I fall
down and bump the skin off the whole
of my nose I won't cry. And if a cow
comes to hook mo I won't cry, either.
I9l—I'11 jump right on her back and
go horseback riding!" `
Mabel could not help laughing, and
Peter. said, "Let's play one game with
the little children, and if they act like
babies then they cannot play with us
again."
So Betty ran into the house for
three baskets. and, an old magazine,
and all the •children helped to tear the
paper into tiny bits and to put the
bits into the'baekets, Then away they
all ran to the foot of. Holly Hill.
"Now, then, you little children,"
Peter said, "run along together and
scatter the paper, wherever you go,
only don't go where you might get
Jost; and try to snake the paper last
until you get back to this very place.
And don't cry or act silly if you see
a dog or a cow or anything. 'We'll
give you a good start. Run when I
say, 'Readyl' and we three will count
five hundred by fives before we'etart."
Then Mabel and the 'boys hid their
faces. Presently Peter called,
"Ready!"
.Away went three happy little girls,
Betty and Susan and Mary, straight
up Holly Hill, scattering bits of paper
as they went, They knew that, if they
-c,�,we s - tttjl
reitieehle
could sceeter all the paper end get
back /Melte of their pursuers to the
Place front which they started, they
would win the game,.
• When they canto to the first arm-
ing of the paths they put their heads
together to talk about which way to
go, Then on and on they ran, chaos-
ing first one path and then another,
laughing and scampering and scatter-
ing• bits of paper as they went. Not
one of them fell down, Several times
they stood still to listen, and after a
while they began to wonder why they
did not hear the others coming,
"Maybe it took Peter a long time to
count five hundred," S'us'an suggested,
"Anyway, let's hurry."
"If we win the firstgame we play,"
Betty lady ''they will let Ile play
again." lIer face was red from run-
ning but her eyes were bright, and Elle
was happy,
The three little girls won the game,
for when they reached the goad they
found no one there. They could not
quite understandthat; it seemed
strange that they . had been able to
win so easily. They waited and wait-
ed, but no one came; and that seemed
stranger. still,
Metybe they fooltd us and went
home," Mary said at last. "But that
would be mean,"
"No," answered Betty, "they always
play fair. I know what I am going
to do. I am going up the hill and
climb to the tippety-top of the big
cedar tree and there bake a look."
. Before Betty was halfway up the
tree, looking over the tops of the
thick -standing hollies, she saw the
yard of a Portuguese family, in which
there were three trees. In one of the
trees was Mabel crying; in another
was Peter; and in the third was Fred.
On the ground was a big dog, which
walked from tree to tree and jumped
and barked.
The Portuguese children, too, had
been playing paper chase that day,
and Maliol and: Peter and Frdd had
followed the wrong trail. That was
why they had come at last to the
yard of the Portuguese family, where
the dog had chased them up the trees,
Little Betty was so astonished that
she almost fell from her tree; but even
so, she called) out bravely:
"Oa-hool 0o -tool I know where the
Portuguese people are! They are
pulling carrots in a field the other
side of their barn. 1'11 get them!"
Shaking., she scrambled ]hurriedly
from the tree, warned Mary and Su-
san to go back to the goal and then
ran to the carrot field.
The farmer's wife came and shut
the dog into the house; it turned out
that he wasn't a savage dog after all,
but ho was a faithful one, and he
know he ought to guard the house,
After that no one ever called Betty-
e
ettya baby again; and all the big boys
and girls were willing to let her and
Mary and Susan, the twine, play
paper chase with then' on Holly Hill.

WOMEN ON THE
FARMS OF CANADA
AGRICULTURE HS AT-
• TRACTING MANY.
Women in Dominion Have
Tackled Most Things and
Made Fair Success of AIL
Since the signing of the Armistice,
with the demobilization of the army,
or more correctly since the avail-
ability of transport after the return of
Use Canadian troops, women from the
British Isles and elsewhere bays
crowded the steamers arriving at Do-
minion ports, Many were war brides
but the greater number consisted of
those for whom war employment had
gone with the return of the men from
the front and who, finding themselves
belonging to a class of two million

anew in a virgin ileld where their ef-
forts were not only obviously needs(1
but urgently sought.
A Feminine Hegira, •
This movement continues unabated
and• every boat sees partes of fresh-
cheeked English' women arriving un-
der government auspices to find homes
in every part ef, the Dominion, Many
of them belonged to various•battalfone
of the women's army, many are ex-
perienced land workers, others follow-
ed pursuits purely feminine. Groups
are bound for domestic service, others
to fruit sections for light land work
and still others, with limited capital,
aro taking up small pieces of land for
themselves Groups of women go
straight from the beat to linen mills
and other factories, being engaged in
tihe old land and brought out by the
management of these Industries.
It is a burning question in older
countries just what opportunities
await women and girls in Canada.
There is a widespread•miseoncepton
that Canadian life is too hard and
severe far girls reared in the calm
atmosphere of the civic and' urban
centres of the oldworld, whilst it is
pointed out that the government Is en-
couraging only the immigration of
girls willing to take up domestic ser -
vivo,
Whatever may have been true of a
young women's hardihood prior to• the
war is no longer so, and it has been
proven that a girl can follow success-
fully most unsicitled,trades, In Cana-
da there is the fundamental that, the
sexes are more nearly balanced which
offers a more expansive field to wo-
man.
No tribute Loo great or worthy can
be paid to the pioneer wives and
mothers of the Canadian agricultural
regions, but as a general rule agricul.
ture is carried out on too large and ex•
pensive a scale for woman to take any
but a supplementary part. IL is not
'uncommon to see a farmer's Wife driv-

Instances of Decided Success.
There are to be found, 'however, a

ating a grain or mixed farm. This
however prosuppases a good deal of
Capital to initiate the enterprise, and
such cases are few. Notice might bo
taken here of the four ex -army nurses
of Montreal who, evidently suffering
from the disease of the returned eod-
dier, thought 'bo take advantage of the
Soldiers' Settlement Act which. per-
mitted them to take soldier land
grants for their services overseas and
matin the long trek to the Spirt River
district of the Peace River Country.
.Hero they have taken four quarter
sections, in tiho middle of which a
cabin has been erected, and have oom-
memced their operations this spring
with the utmost confidence of success,
It must be stated, however, that such
cases are exceptional and that wo-
man's place on the large lapis of the
western provinces is usually as a help-
mate to m'!n MulchaMulch1t must be said,
there are thousands of openings.
The greater phases of farming, how-
ever, appeal to woman, especially the
robust, sturdy out -o1 -doors type, and
this anode of livelihood is particularly
appealing to those grip who worked
on the land during thio war and in the
experience they gained learned to love
the free, entranteliod 11fe. In the Pro-
vince of British Columbia, espeeially
in the settled fruit areas, many wo-
men are running small orchards or
fruit farms and doing al the work en-
tailed themselves. In the same Pro,
vince, close to the industrial towns
and larger centres, many women are
finding poultry raising a profitable
means or livelihood and a calling
which does cat overtax their physical
strength, Still others find a source of
healthy revenue in bee keeping.
In the Niagara peninsula and other
fruit raglans of Ontario the same con-
ditions prevail and here women are to
be found wresting a living in the
pleasantest of environments and work-
ing conditions been the easily yielding
soil. Each year sees a migration from
the cities and towns to these districts
and the.orcharcls of the Peeiflc coast
province, of woman and girls of every
Profession and calling who find Pick-
ing and packing fruit a profitable as
well as pleasurable manner of spend-
ing a holiday.
Tackling- Most Things Successfully,
The email farms of the Maritime
provinces, with their adut]ralxle set'
tangs of equisite secnery and acces-
sibility to all the markets, offer particu-
larly line opportunities. to groups of
two or more women either in growing
fruit and flowers or in dairying. No
region can hold forth greater attrac-
tions or be more suited to the healthy,
energetic, out o'doo' girl who 'feels
drawn to malting her living on the

such enormously long ranges in these
