They have just about driven us razy this last week with their bawling, To make the best use of the pasture Partner switches the rows around from one field to an- other and also into a small patch pasture at the bark of the house. \nd what haptens: leery time the cows catch sight of Partner They bawl their heads off, expect - in,, him to turn then into another Pasture -just the same as a Spoilt child will bawl until he gets what he wants. After being the the back- ard the cows were w•orsa than evet' because here they were able to get a good feed of apples , . and they figured that was just what the doctor ordered, One day while they- were feed- ing near the house Partner asked use to keep an eye 'on them while he went up to the back field to fix fence. "Mind they don't get into tiat barbed wire under the cherry trees," cautioned Partner. So I took my string beans and sat on the front step to cut them, That way, although I could not keep the .now, in view all the titne 1 could' certainly see then if they got any- where near the barbed wire. Every- thing was quiet and I thought how well they were behaving themselves -:un coming near the barbed wire at all. But suddenly there was one terrific bellow -like an animal in pain. I jumped to my feet . .. and Tway went the beans, of course. I ran to the back of the yard . . . there was Drowsey, one of our Durham heifers - complete with horns -with its head right through the wire fence. Now what to dot I remember Partner always thought it advisable in such an emergency to approach quietly and cut one .ef the fence wires to release the cow's head, He had explained to me that if left to pull herself loose she was liable to do a lot o: damage to the fence. I could well believe that as I watched this heifer pulling and tugging, this way and that, while I stood help- less -remembering that Partner had taken the fence pliers with him. £4u6 X9'61203. hor that Somebody New -- pretty pretty giftl In knitting worsted or 3 strands of cotton.

"Well," I thought to myself, "she's going to damage the fence anyway, so 1 might as well help her do it," So 1 got into the next field and walked along very quietly until I was faciug the heifer. I could see that if I could only get one horn back through the fence site Wright manage to get the rest of her head free without too much trouble. So I grabbed one (torn with both hands and hung ou for dear life, Together we rocked back and forth -the heifer, the fence and 1, One time she pulled back so far I thought the whole fence was go- ing -and I with it. Finally the heifer quieted down a bit and I managed to get tha tip of her thorn through the square wire mesh. Sure enough, that was all that was necessary. In a few seconds Drow- sey had her whole head, horns and all, free once more. She backed hurriedly away and then to my sur- prise she caste runniug up to the fence again, pawed the ground and bellowed like a hull. Whether she was mad at me or the fence I wouldn't know -but fortunately she didn't try getting her head tangled up any more, I might add that all the time I was doing the mercy act the other 14 cows were also grouped around the fence bawling lustily. They didn't make the work any easier because I knew what would happen if the fence should collapse Honestly, cows are the cussedest things -if you'll excuse the expression. Sunday afternoon we had another cow adventure. Daughter end one of our nieces were here for the weekend so we went to the back of the farm looking for choke- cherries. We also wandered into one of our neighbors' fields where there were about 30 head of cattle. Immediately they saw us they came across the field on the run. Have you noticed -cows are the most inquisitive things besides be- ing cussed. As they came nearer we turned and faced them and they stopped dead. We walked on and they carne after us again. Then Tippy ,came running out of the bush and put thein to rout. I called her off, thinking the cattle would now be ready to leave us alone. But no, back they casae again. We had only a little way to go to reach the fence so niece Babs took 1' her heels and was over it like a shot. Daughter and I were not really alarmed, although if you get in among a herd of strange cows you never can. tell . . . * * * 'iVhiclt reminds me -a few weeks ago we hada visit frons two govern- ment inspectors, tracking down Dutch elm disease They told us that across the road there appeared to be no oneatborne but that a huge, angry bull had chased them o. of the field: They didn't find out whether the elm trees on that Ent were diseased or • nt. * So there you hate it -although 1 hall no idea 1 was going to fill this column with cows when 1 sat dwell to write it.

Although itonse dressmaking has played its part in women's lives since time imme- morial It is only in the hast hun- dred years that paper patterns have been available, This revolution in Route dressmaking came about, surprisingly enough, through the famous cookery expert, Mrs. Bec- ton, She visited Paris with her husband and arranged for a regular supply of French fashion plates to he sent to them for inclusion in their monthly publication, "The English, woman's Domestic Magazine.° These plates because so popular that people wanted to copy them and Mrs, Beeton'deeicled to cut pat- terns from them which would be supplied to readers on application. These enabled all English women to be fashionably dressed, a distinction enjoyed before only by those who - had money to employ a professional. dressmaker, show that more and more women throughout the world are now studying dressmaking and staking their own clothes but pro- bebly-few people stop to think how paper patterns are evolved. A great deal of creative and technical skill is needed to slake a good one. Fash- ion staffs in London, Paris and New York send designers all the latest fashion news. The designer digests this information, puts her ideas into a sketch and a finished model gar- ntent in muslin is made from this. A photographed copy of the final drawing, with a written descripHoth of the garment and alt necessary details such as suggested fabrics in which to make it, is then sent to the pattern -staking department and given to a highly slcilled cutter. She achieves the almost miraculous feat of transforming a flat sketch into shapes that, when assembled, will become a fashionable garment. These shapes are then traced on to heavy paper which eventually becomes the blaster Pattern. A tissue is cut from this and sent to a dressmaker who has not previously seen the design. She stakes the garment in one of the suggested Materials and for the first time this is tried on a living model. Everyone connected with making the pat- tern attends this fitting and every detail is checiced. The dress and the artist's drawing must correspond exactly because the drawing will be the picture on the envelope con- taining the pattern and the finished garment must look exactly like the picture. The second stage of con- structing a paper pattern is the writing of easy -to -follow instruc- tions with simple sketches as guides to the various stages of making. Patterns of different sizes are then cut and a chart drawn, giving cut- ting -out diagrams for use with mat- erials of different widths. Last of all the patterns arc cut from the master which is placed on thick piles of tissue paper and the outlines cut by :sand with a fine blade, The pieces are then folded and packed together with instructions in their en ve lopes. Miss Pegler pointed out that the very first paper patterns were dir- ect copies of Paris models, This practice was soon discontinued and for nearly a century patterns were year, for the first time since the made by an individual designer. This 1850's, direct copies of French models • are being made in paper patterns for the !tome dressmaker's use, These models are rather com- pti easy-to-sssalce patterns on sale.

Warren, B.A., R.lde John Mark, Who Made Good Acts 12:12, 25; 13:4-5, 13; 15:36.40 •Golden Text: I can do all thing& through Christ which strengthenetle me. Phil, 4:13, Everyone thrills to the story of alt individual who, though once labelled a "failure," emerges uti- ntately a "success.' It was so witlb John Mark. Ile had a mother who prayed and who opened her house for others to gather and pray, whew Peter lay in prison. Barnabas, a ccustn, and Saud, took Mark with them 'to Antioch front Jerusalem. Then when they were Divinely called to take the Gospel to the Gentiles, they toolc John also to minister. Vi'Iten they had gone through Cyprus and were turning up into Asia Minor, john departed from then and returned to Jeru- salem. Paul regarded this as failure and refused to allow Mark to ac- company him on his second mis- sionary journey. Just how serious was this failure, we do not know. Perhaps he should never have gone, The Holy Ghost had said to the Church at Anti- och, "Separate me Barnabas and Srul for the work whereunto I have called then." Mark had no succi Divine call, He just went nature ally with these nteu who had brought hint from Jerusalem. Per- haps the rigors of the road de- terred hint. Perhaps be became lonesome for Mother and the spa- cious home at Jerusalem, John Mark made good. Evers Paul came to recognize it. From prison in Route, in his last let- ter he wrote, "Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is pro- fitable to me for the ministry" II Timothy 4:11. Tradition repre- sents him as the close attendant and interpreter of Peter, and as tlse writer of Peter's teachings. So we have the Gospel according to 3fark. His conversion probably. took place at the prayer sheeting ill his mother's house when Peter came there front prison. Thus it would be natural for Peter to call bine "my son." I Peter 5:13.
