LOOKING AIIEAD FOR THE
CHILDREN.
One acre of our farm has been set
aside for the children. Our boy is
four and our girl is two. We planted
twenty fruit trees on a recent holiday
for them, about five of each variety.
This acre hod not been used, and it
is well located for a small orehaird.
The peach trees will be bean tt; ii
three years, at which time the boy will
be seven and the girl five. The cher-
ries, pears, and other varieties will of
course conic along later. We pian to
prune, spray, and care for the trees
ourselves until they are older, and
allow the children to market the fruit
to their own profit. We are within
twenty minutes of a good market, and
of course there will be some market
at our:gate, waleh is on the l ablic
highw y
We aro alio retailer out berry
for them on the border of our place.
These will ae 1 ton :•ion a. -d can be

older:
Then the boy has eight hens, which
he helped to hatch in the spring. He
keeps these liens in a ,.eparete coop
and feed: and wasters them remit -rly.
We believe that when the children
are older all this will be healthful
work for them in the summer vaca-
tions, tight at home, a d they will
have a measureof resno siallity. The
boy is already proud of his part own-,
ership in the teccs, and to time they
both will swell their Savin^4-account
for college from the sale of the fruit.

CURTAINS ARE IMPORTANT.
It takes only a tiny touch of bright
colors to set a room off, and the fust
thing we know, instead of a dreary..
stupid, rather tiresome feeling place,
we have a bright, cheerful, attractive
room. The curtains and draperies ef-
ford a chance to indulge in livelier
color than we can use in the wall
paper, rugs, or upholstery.
They need not be expensive. There
are innumerable materials with which
we may get the prettiest of effects r
without paying an enormous sum of
money.
First of all, have you linked over
the ginghams and chambrays in your
local dry -goods store? Have you con-
sidered the possibilities of the voiles,
or cheesecloth, or dress muslins, and
unbleached cotton cloth? Every one of
these materials offers an almost un- r
limited opportunity for pretty and in-
expensive curtains, with the addition
of a little ingenuity and a little taste.
Then there are the pretty and inex-
pensive cretonnes and chintzes. The
darker ones for dining and living
rooms, the lighter ones for the bed-
rooms. In the more expensive ma-
terials, there are the thin silks and
the sunfasts, the velours and velvets.
But the secret of malting the room
bright and attractive 'lies in getting
the right color and the right texture.
The color must match the wall paper,
be a little stronger, so as to separate
the window from the wall a little, and
also be something like the rug and
upholstery in tone. For example, tan
walls may have tan, ecru, brown, or,
for contrast, blue, or blue and tan, or
blue, tau, and brown. They may even
show a little orange or red. But be
sure that some of the 'colors in the
curtains are in walls, rugs, and chair
coverings.
For the bedroom we often choose a
plain color that is exactly the same
shade as the color of the flowers in the s

in Ruth's voice.
The visit lasted for twenty minutes.
Merrington had failed to persuade
'Ruth to give him any more sittings,

Greek Orthodox Church Cele.
bI'ates "Water's Holy Day”
With Great 'Cerennonial:
Toward the end of January the
'Greek Catholic or orthodox ,church in
Bucharest celebrates "water's holy
day." This is one of the greatest
festival days of the church, It is
devoted to the remembrance of the
clay when Christ went clown to the
River Jordan to be baptized by John
the Baptist, writes Ilanno Serno.
•In all orthodox countries, as in
Russia, Greece, Serbia, Bulgaria,
Armenia and Rumania, the day is
celebrated with great splendor. The
running water, wells, rivulets,
streams and lakes, is hallowed on
water's day and possesses at that
time 'a miraculous power.
Men go out that morning to have
ire cold water from the pump in the
yard run over their head and bodies
so that they rsay he protected against
all sickness during the year. Every-
where processions are held by the
clergy, followed by the town author-
ities, soldiers and the people, The
proceosion goes to the nearest river.
There a golden cross is thrown into.
the water by the highest clergyman.
Twa men of the people jump into
the ice cold water to get the cross out
again. Since the wintery are ex-
tremely ill' Russia and Puruana,
a bole must be made hi the ice for
this ceremony, • In Russia n soldier
used to be ordered to dive for the.
cross. In Rumania, however, it is
usually a peasant who offers himself
for this service in the hope of a big
reward.
Picturesque Procession,
The bigger the town is the more
splendid is this procession. In Bu-
charest, where are situated the king's
residence and tho homes of the high-
est Roumanian clergy, the procession
is particularly brilliant, The train
goes from the king'a palace, through,
the main street, the Calea Victories,
down to Slater church and thence to
the Dambovitn rivet:.
At the head of tho procession walk
two priests with the golden cross. The
metropolitan -primas follow with the
king, other members of rite royal
house and foreign princes. Next comes
tate entire -retinue of the king, the
ministers and foreign ambassadors,
the city authorities and high army
officers.
After the church ceremony is over,
the king views a parade of his sol-
diers. In former times, before King
Carol became sovereign of Roumania,
the princes, called voyvods-or boyars,
and their wives appeared at the pro-
cession in their exquisitely beautiful
national costumes on special two.
wheeled carriages pulled by two, four
or six horses, according to the rank
of the owner. That was a colorful
sight.
Though the modern water's day
procession lacks this particular trait
the procession is still very pictur-
esque.
