THE TEESDALE MERCURY—WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 1920. TALKS ON HEALTH. BY A FAMILY DOCTOR. A SCALP WOUND. In a case of bleeding from the scalp, if you want to render intelligent first aid you Boat bear in mind the following rules. First of all you must comfort the injured by say- ing that it isn't much, and that it would tale a steam -roller to kill a man of his Btamp. If you look anxious, you will double your patient's pain and shock. The next thing, is to locate the Wound amidst the tangle of hair and blood. To do this joo must have a good light, and don't be afraid to ask f o r i t . Do not let a crowd of useless onlookers crowd around. Tell them sharply to get out of the light. FIRST AID. Having found the wonnd, the next thing is to cut the hair off close to the scalp with a pair of scissors or a razor. This gives a clear view of the wound, and you can see what you are about. Next, take a clean rag or piece of cotton-wool and press it tightly on the wound, and keep it there while you give the man's head and neck and face a general clean up. The sight of blood unnerves most people, and you must carefully remove every spei-k of blood from the area around the wound and any region to which i t has trickled. At the same time all blood-stained garments should be re- moved. The collar, scarf, coat and waistcoat may be taken off. When, the man is taken home, it is as well that as little blood should be seen as possible. This clean-up is the kindest thing you can do, and you must do it thoroughly. It is astonishing what an ugly mess can be made from the blood trickling down from a scalp-wound only half an inch long. DRESSINGS IN THE HOUSE. By this time the pressure of the cotton- wool pad against the wound will have stopped the bleeding. Give the wound a good wash. Plain water will do if it is clean and put in a clean basin. I f y o u have had a training i n t h e Royal Army Medical Corps or any similar institution, you might be allowed to put a stitch in the wound, but I do not advise you to start practising on some unfortunate patient i f y o u have not b.ad many opportunities of seeing how it should be done. Then, finally, some clean antiseptic gauze should be applied, and over that some cotton-wool, and then a firm bandage. Have you got a few simple dress- ings tfi your house? If not, you ought to have. Some cyanide gauze, borac-ic lint, cotton-wool, and a few bandages (one-inch and two -inch) should be in every household. In all your dealings with the wound, scrupulous cleanliness must be the rule. Always wash your hands before touching a wound. REST FOE THE PATIENT. Before leaving your patient, you must always look carefully at both has ears to make sure that there is no blood or fluid of any description flowing from the ear- passage. I f y o u do detect any sort of dis- charge, blood -stained or otherwise, it is a sign that the skull may be fractured. Whether the injury appears to you serious or not, always persuade him to lie down and rest. I f he refuses, then it is his own look-out; you have done your best, and if any complications follow you cannot be blamed. Vomiting is a sign of shock and concussion. You wish your patient to re- main quiet and calm. Do not, therefore, give him brandy, which excites the brain. MYSTERY OF WARTS. Warts on the hands have a mysterious way of coming and going without any ex- planation. A l l we know is that they appear, and then one fine day they are gone. In every case where no adequate and true ex- planation is forthcoming a hundred non- sensical reasons are offered. Many cures are tried for the warts, and the one that lis used last before the disfigurement dis- appears is regarded as the cure. I t m a y lie that the week before the hands are left clear the young possessor of the warts had consulted a " wise woman," who told her to look at the new moon in a mirror, turn round three times, and bow to the East, when she was wearing something green next to her skin. Well, well, it takes all sorts to make, a world. A n y w a y , t h e doctors cannot cure the warts, so why not try a "wise woman! " The application of caustic or strong acid is of very little, i f a n y , value. If it is used at all, the acid must be put exactly on the wart with the end of a wooden match. If the corrosive fluid gets on to the surrounding skin it will cause a serious burn. Some day we shall discover a harmless way of removing warts, and then I shall write a whole column on the subject. AN EAR COMPLAINT. For the treatment of a running ear, drops of hydrogen peroxide are useful. The peroxide is a clear liquid, which bubbles when it is dropped into the ear. The bottle should be kept securely corked. Before the drops are put in the ear should be gently syringed with warm borac-ic lotion. I say gently" advisedly; a forcible jet of water may hurt the inflamed drum. The syring- ing may be done three times a d a y at first, and the frequency diminished as the dis- charge grows less in quantity. The dis- charge is very offensive, and great care must be taken to mop it up from the ear with dabs of cotton-wool that should be immediately burnt. SOME HINTS. It is bad nursing and faulty hygiene to allow the fetid discharge to r i m o n to the fillow-case, so th;.t during sleep the patient's hair and face are well nibbed over with the poisonous matter. If the discharge- is very profuse, the difficulty of preventing at running out over the pillow is increased. In that case the cotton-wool in the ears must be changed frequently, and, in addi- tion to that, a piece of thin mackintosh sheeting ("jaconet) should be pinned on the S illow and a face-towel laid over that, lever forget that the discharge is not dead material. It is very much alive, and can spread disease. Always wash your hands thoroughly before and after dressing a case of discharging ears. THE WEEK'S MOTTO. The motto for this week is, " I a m not so bad as I think I am." You must write it out and stick it Up on your looking-glass. Get your little girl to work it iu wools of rliffercnt colours on a piece of cardboard. When anyone asks you how you are, you must answer, " I a m not so bad as I think I am." You feel that you are justified in being rather disagreeable, because those around you will forgive vou on account of your infirmity. Very well; this week, with the notice staring you in the face on the looking -glass, you must not be quite so dis- agreeable; you must do a little bit more for yourself to save trouble. A n v w a y , y o u can make the house a bit more cheerful merely by refraining from grumbling. For the •pace of a week we are to hear no com- plaints about your joints or your poor back or "them funny feelings .what killed auntie and will kill me." it is such a bore to other people to have to listen to the same old complaints week after week. Do find something else to talk about besides your diseases. And when you die at the age of 85, have it put on your tomlistone, " I a m not so bad as I think I am." ANSWER TO CORRESPONDENT. A. S. (Oainford).—There are various reasons to account for your symptoms at your age. Your explanation points to digestive trouble, in which case you should be careful what you eat. But, whatever the cause of the curious feeling of which you speak, you should be guided by the advice of your medical man. FASHIONS AND DRESSMAKING. New Garments and Their Production. HOME DRESSMAKING. A SIMPLE BATHING SUIT FOR A CHILD. I have been quite surprised at the number of letters I have received during this last two or three weeks asking me if I would give the pattern of a very simple bathing gown suitable for a child of from 4 t o lb' years— something thit could be made easily and quickly and that yet looked smart and nice. I gather itv^x the letters that mothers are [Refer t o H . D . 6 5 7 ] . very tired of buying ready-made stockinet bathing gowns for their small people. These, it is true, are not expensive, but they wear so very badly, and they do get so shabby. One mother told me that hist year her little daughter went through no fewer than four bathing gowns d u r i n g t h e summer holidays and, she added, she was determined to make her young peoples' bathing gowns herself this year and see i f she could not produce something that would wear better and look nicer than the stockinet rags of last year. Therefore I am giving you to-day the pattern of a very simple little bathing gown that is suited to any girl between the ages o f 4 and 16. It is perfectly simple in shape and very easy to make, but yet i t i s extremely com- fortable to wear and looks really nice -and smart. THE MATERIAL.— This pattern may be car- ried out i n q u i t e a wide range of materials, among the best of which are fine, soft, light- weight serge or gabardine, bunting, wool stockinet, or. best of all for the small girl, aza or viyclla. If you want to be ultra smart, you may make up the garment in taffetas, a material which is particularly de- lightful for bathing gown wear, but, of course, is considerably mort expensive than the other fabrics I have named. However, whatever you decide upon you will need 2J yards of material 40in. wide for the bathing gown, and J yard of contrasting material 36in. wide to make this garment for a girl of from 10 to 12 years, or tlieir equivalent in wider or narrower stuff. THE PATTERN.— There are only four pieces in this pattern—front, back," front neck piece, and back neck piece—so the cutting out is not a complicated matter. Before beginning to cut out, however, pin the pat- tern together? try it against your child, and make any such small alterations as may be necessary. ' These, you will find, are mor? easily and satisfactorily made in the paper pattern than i n t h e cut-out garment, in addi- tion to which you economise by so making them, for you thus run no risk of wasting material, for you have your pattern exactly right before you begin to cut out. Remem- ber that no turnings are allowed for in the pattern, therefore you should leave the fol- lowing, turnings being an absolute neces- sity in all bathing gowns—for the constant immersion in salt water makes the seams very apt to pull apart: back and front, ^ i n . o n the underarms, shoulders, and curved leg seams, Jin. round the neck, the armholes, and on the leg edges: front and back neck facing, t i n . a l l round. THE CUTTINC OOT.— Begin with your bath- ing gown material. Open it out to its full width and then fold it iti such a way that the two selvedges come together down "one side and the fold is opposite. I'in these selvedges securely together so that the material cannot pull or get into folds as you are cutting, out, then lay the t w o b a t h i n g gown patterns upon the folded stuff, as shown in the dia- gram, placing the straight edge of each to the fold. Now take your contrasting stuff, open, fold, and pin it as vou have done the other material, then lay the back and front neck pieoes upon it, placing the straight edge of each to the fold. Pin into place, then cut the remainder of the material into crossway lengths about IJin. in width. Vou must also cut a strip of material from tin' bathing gown stuff about iljin. wide and 28in. long—this is for the belt. THE MAKING— Put a flat facing on to each of the front shoulder seams, a n d a wrap facing to correspond on to each of the back seams. Then sew buttons on the wrap facing and make corresponding buttonholes on the front shoulders. Next join up the little curved leg scams. You can do this either by French sewing or by run and fell seams, the latter being preferable in such a material as serge, because they lie flatter. Next turn down the edge of the neck, leg and arm- holes to the depth of 'in. on the right side, and tack. Take the front and back facings, turn in the edges on to the wrong side to the depth of Jin., tack into place round the neck, and, H O W T O OBTAIN Tarer Patterns of the above BATHING Sl'TT.

Treat the armlioles and the leg edge- in exactly the same way, using, of course, the crossway bands you have cut. Now join up the side seams as you have joined the other seams, taking care that the trimming bands exactly correspond to the seams. Take the belt strip, fold it down the middle length- ways, and machine all round, with the ex- ception of one end. Turn to the right side, press, neaten the remaining end. and sew on buttons and make buttonholes. FASHION OF THE WEEK. A SMART BATHING GOWN. some very pretty pale shades, sharpened !>y facings and trimming bands, of very bright colour. Taffetas, perhaps, is still the favourite material for the small, yet prac- tical, bathing gown. It is still shown i n a l l colours and, in quite a number of the newest models, in patterned effects com- bined with plain colours. For instance, a very smart, yet quite simple, affair recently shown by a West-end firm showed a combina- tion of white taffetas patterned with a check i n b l a c k a n d sealing-wax red and plain black taffetas—a wonderfully effective gar- ment, I can assure you. Magpie effects are much in evidence, some of the most attrac- tive bathing gowns being made of black taffetas trimmed with bands of white taffetas. Our sketch shows a bathing gown in this alliance of black and white. This smart model is marie of black taffetas, the tunic being long waisted and w i t h o u t a scrap of superfluous material. Below the girdle the tunic is shaped out a little and cut up into panels, which show the lining of white taffetas.. Bands of white taffetas trim the— panels as well as the pointed neck. The girdle is also white? Paper patterns can be supplied, price Is Enclose remittance and address to Miss Lisle, 32, Fleet Lane, London, E.C.4. Note: The price may vary from week to week. Carrots should be cleaned by being irushed in water. Scraping causes them to owe t h e i r flavour. If your shoes stiffen after you have worn shea iu the rain, wipe them with a cloth lipped in warm water and then rub castor )il into thein. Eggs covered with I boiling water and allowed to stand- for five minutes are more lourishing and more easily digested than ,'ggs placed iu boiling water and allowed to joil furiouslv for three minutes. [E. 069j. I have quite got the holiday feeling, for during thus week I have been looking at such a lot of bathing gowns and bathing paraphernalia that ft has made me simply long for the sea. And a very interesting time I have spent, for the bathing gowns I have seen have been, for the most part,, really charming — just the sort of garment you would like to buy for yourself if you were going off to the sea this week. I am quite sure I have never seen such enchanting bathing gowns as are shown this year. Simple and practical i n . shape, yet leaving the limbs ample freedom, with nothing to hamper one i n a n y way, these bathing gowns are the perfection of comfort, and yet they are as smart as i t i s possible for a garment to be, and, what is still better, they are extremely becoming. The bathing gowns which arc to be worn by the real swimmer arc carried out in very practical materials this year. Wool stockinet of very fine weave is largely employed, mostly in bright colours such as orange, rod, cherry, sharp green, and bright blue. Viyella and aza are also well to the fore for the practical bathing gown, both in plain asd striped effects. Repp—wool repp, I mean—is another favourite material for the I purpose this year. I t , t o o , is chiefly used in the brighter colours, though I have seen Always keep the flour-bin i n a warm, dry alaee. "Damp flour will never make light pastry or cakes. A ground rice pudding will not be lumpy if the rice is mixed smoothly with cold milk Deforc adding it to the boiling liquid. Corks can be made airtight and water- tight by immersing them in oil for about live minutes before using. To get rid of blackbeetlcs and cock- roaches, sprinkle floors, corners. and ;revices at night with equal parts castor sugar and borax. To obtain poached eggs of a good shape, drop the egg into the vessel while the water is boiling vigorously. The motion of the watcY will cause the egg to be cooked iu a round shape. The colour of a carpet can bo revived by rubbing with a flannel dipjiod in half a gallon of warm water and a tablespoonful »f turpentine. A few drops of ammonia added to the water when washing flannel and woollen garments will make "them soft and help to keep them a good colour. To renovate a shabby umbrella, brush it well with a solution of ammonia and warm water. Packing clothes into a email spaci, and packing them so well that they emerge fresh and uucrumpled at the end of a long journey, is an art, but it is one which can be learnt by everyone. Before beginning to pack, one should make up one's miud firmly about the clothes to be taken away ami those to be left at home. Then i t i s a help to arrange the holiday requirements in neat piles on a bed, and make a list of everything. The list can be pasted in the lid of a trunk or suitcase, and it will be an aid to memory when one is returning home. If there is much to be packed, do not attempt to squeeze everything into a suit-case, but take a trunk inste.d. If one is going by car, or to some isoh; "d spot to which it is not convenient to ..- r i d heavy luggage, take two good-sized suit cases in- stead of a trunk. Light hat-boxe> are ex- ceedingly useful, and prevent many hats being damaged. They will also hold flimsy things, such as chiffon scarves, crepe de chine evening frocks, etc. A hold-all for iieavy coats, wraps and rugs, umbrellas anil sticks, is also a useful possession. All hand- luggage should be light i n w e i g h t , so i f y o u intend to carry it yourself do not choose articles in solid leather. They are nice to look at, but much heavier to carry than the cheaper varieties. The secret of good packing is to pack tightly. Shoes should lie neatly rolled in bags or paper, their toes being stuffed "with stockings, or other small articles, and packed at the bpttom of trunk or suit-case. On top of the shoes should be placed any fairly heavy article of clothing, such as a tweed skirt, thick woollen cardi- gan or jumper. In any crevices push little odds and ends—a bag containing cottons, •silks, and wools for darning, pairs of stock- ings, a woolly scarf, etc. Woollen things should be neatly rolled up, and under- clothes packed together i n a neat pile. Thin frocks, jumpers, and blouses should be packed on top of everything else. They should be folded carefully, and plenty of tissue paper should be put between every fold. Be lavish with your tissue paper, and always remember to put a few good sheets over the top of the clothes before closing t h e l i d . unwise to force him to do so, but at the same time no comment should be made on the subject, and other food should be sub- stituted. For instance, supposing a child will not eat boiled or poached eggs, then eggs should be given him disguised, in custards, served with stewed fruit or alone —most children love custard served quite cold in little custard glasses—in puddings, and in cakes. Suet puddings may be dis- liked. I f so, make a light sponge pudding, in which there is only a little sue',, and dis- guise, the suet taste with a stronger flavour, such as lemon or ginger. Fat, of course, is essential, so a child who will not eat it in the form of susf should have plenty of butter and cream. Many children object to uninteresting mil'k puddings, but if they are cooked slowly in the oven with plenty of milk, and served with jam or fruit, they are often eaten readily. Junkets, blancmanges, and milk jellies offer a way o u t . o f this difficulty, too. Some children refuse to eat bread and butter, but this is generally because they see grown-up people eating all kinds of excit- ing cakes. WHBH CHILDREN WILL N O T E A T . Young children are sometimes very tire- some about their food. Sometimes then objection to certain food may be due to an actual dislike, but very often i t is caused by too much fussiness on the part oi parents or nurse, and a childish love of being con- sidered important. A child rather likes to hear his mother say o f h i m , " T o m m y is so particular about his food. He wiil never touch eggs or milk puddings.'' If a child will not eat certain food it is extremely GIRLS AND SPORT. The question is sometimes asked if in- dulgence in sport spoils a girl's health and good looks, and keen women athletes answer " No," while those who are not in favour of girls joining in their brothers' games answer "Yes.'' The truth lies between these two extremes. Too great an indulgence in games does harm a girl's health and looTfs, especially if she goes in for very strenuous sport. On the other hand, the girl who shuns outdoor exercise altogether, and spends most of her time indoors, is liable to develop nerves, ill-health, and a muddy complexion. The finest of all exer- cises is walking, and few girls walk as much as they should. Swimming, too, is a splen- did form of exercise which is too often neglected. Swimming brings into play all the muscles of the body, and helps to develop the figure on the right lines. Danc- ing is good exercise, too, but, as a r u l e , the stuffy atmosphere in which dancing takes place nullifies the benefit to the health. Tennis, badminton, and riding are harmless to the health if they are not indulged in unwisely. Cricket, golf, and hockey are more strenuous, and therefore young girls who play these games should be careful not to over-tire themselves. Football is quite unsuitable for girls. Games should never be played to excess, but should occupy their rightful place in life—that of pro- viding an interesting recreation. The danger to the health lies in the easiness in which a young, immature girl can over- strain herself, and so do herself an injury from which she may suffer all her life. After making cakes, do not put them away in tins while still warm, but put them on sieves, out of a draught, to cool first, To freshen stale vegetables, soak them for an hour in cold water to which the juice of a lemon lias been added. To keep flies and mosquitoes away, sprinkle a few drops of essence of sassafras or oil of turpentine on a rag and put the rag in a prominent place in a room where there are a lot of flies. Twenty drops of carbolic acid evaporated from a hot shovel will also help to banish flies from a room, and a pieoe of camphor gum the size of a walnut, held over a lamp till cousumed, will keep away mosquitoes. MEAT IN THE LARDER. Uncooked meat should be hung from a hook and covered in a. muslin bag which has l>een sprinkled with pepper. Do not keep it longer than necessary. I f a part becomes tainted, cut it off and throw it away, then wash the rest of the meat in water to which a little vinegar has been added. Cooked meat should be put on a clean dish every day, protected b y a meat cover or put in the safe. Bacon should be hung in peppered muslin bags. CARE OF THE MANGLE. Never leave a mangle %rith the rollers tightly screwed when not in use, for the strain weakens the parts. The •oilers should be carefully cleaned and thoroughly dried after washing day. Oil the working parts occasionally, and remove all dust, grease, and fluff. To clean the mangle use a soft rag soaked with paraffin for the cogs, etc., and warm soapy water for the iron frame- work, finally rinsing it in clean water and wiping .it dry. Rubber rollers need turpen- tine to clean" them and free them from the effects of soap. If wooden rollers have cracked, the spaces may be filled with some waterproof wood filling to be obtained from oil and colour merchants. I t c a n be worked in with an old penknife and smoothed downi. In a few days' time the filling will lie set, and the rollers should then be rubbed with 6ome fine glasspaper. I f the mangle is kept in an outside shed it should be kept covered. A HOLIDAY HINT. Holiday-makers who suffer from head- ache* or eye troubles, or those in charge of young children, will find it a good plan to pack a piece o f d a r k green casement cloth, as the blinds in seaside lodgings are often light and do not exclude bright sunshine. By pinning the material across the window a soft, restful light is gained. The material takes up very little room in one's luggage. RASPBERRY AND LOGANBERRY RECIPES. RASPBERRY FLAN.— Liue a round sand- wich tin with good, short pastry, nearly an inch thick. Put a s t r i p rouud the edge to keep the fruit in, and prick the bottom U keep it from rising in the centre. Bake and leave till cold. Meanwhile prepare the fill- ing. Soft fruits such as raspberries do not need cooking. Arrange the raspberries, which should be fully ri])e, in the pastry case, and boil together for five minutes a tumblerful of water With an ounce of sugar till it is reduced to half the quantity. Mix half a teaspoouful of cornflour to a thin paste with water, stir in the syrup, and con- tinue stirring for another four minutes oi so- till cooked, and when cold pour over the fruit in the tart. Serve with whipped cream. RASPBERRIES IN JELLY.— 1 pint packet raspberry jelly, lib. raspberries. Melt the jelly and add to it one tablespoonful of claret. Remove the stalks from the fruit, put a layer of jelly a t t h e bottom of a plain mould. When set, arrange some raspberries on it and carefully cover them with more jelly. Let thus set, and continue the layer* until the mould is full. Put it in a very cool place. When it is set, turn out, and decorate with some large ripe raspberries and whipped cream. LOGANBERRY BASKETS.— lib. loganberries, 2oz. castor sugar, 1 gill cream, angelica, some small round sponge cakes, chopped nuts, a tablespoonful oi apricot jam. Divide the rounds out of the cakes and spread then: with the jam, and sprinkle with chopped nuts. (After chopping the nuts lightly brown them in the oven.) Hull the logau" berries and sprinkle with sugar. Leave them for half an hour, then pile them on the sponge cake rounds. Pour over any syrup left by the loganberries, put a spoon- ful of cream, whipped, sweetened, and flavoured with vanilla, on the top, and make handles of ingelica. LOOANBEREY GATEAU.— 1 large sponge :ake, lib. ripe loganberries, 2o>. castoi sugar, 1 gall cream, 1 gill milk, Joz. gela- tine, 2 dessertspoonfuls lemon-juice, Jib icing sugar, white of egg. C u t a slice frorr the bottom of the cake and scoop out the ?entre to >form a case. Put the fruit in a basin, add the dessertspoonful of lemon- juice and half the sugar, and bruise well Rub fruit through sieve, add rest of sugai (melted in the milk), the cream (whipped) and the gelatine (dissolved i n J gill warn water). Fill the,cake case with the fruit, re olr.ee the bottom slice, and stand the cake ya a dish. To ^lb. icing sugar rubbed free jf lumps add one dessertspoonful lemon juice, one tablespoonful cream, and enougl whipped white of egg to form a paste. Coal the cake with this icing and decorate witl thopped nuts. FOR THE CHILDREN. By AUNT EDITH. AT B U T T E R C U P FARM. "Children," said Mother one day at breakfa>t, " I hop. you won't miud auiully. but we are not . b to the seaside tliic year." "Not going to tlie seaside!" cried David aud Daphne togc.uor. " O h , M u m m y ' M hy? " Daddy looked up from his paper. " Simply because 1 haven't ciiwugh money to pay for a l l o u r railway fare.- aud ledg iugs this summer," said tie. " I have lots of mouey in my money lxix. David >uid eagerly. " W o n ' t that be enough? " " Thank you, David, very much," replied Daddy. " I t is very kind of you to ofler it to me, but 1 think we can manage to have a holiday without taking your money." " Oh! Can we have a holiday at all? asked I laphne. •' I was just going to say we were think ing of going to a farm instead of to the seaside, darlings," Mummy began, " when you interrupted me." " Sorry, M u m s ! " cried the twins. " Do tell us all about it." " Well," saiil Mother. " I know how you have loved your long holiday by the sta every summer, how you have enjoyed pad dling and bathing in the sea, exploring caves and digging on the sands, and Daddy and I are frightfully sorry we cannot take you there again this year. You must try hard not to IK - disappointed." " Don't bother about us," I said. ' I expect we shall enjoy our-vlves on n farm." I hope you will," replied Mother " We thought it would be a thorough change, sad as it is not far away we shall be aide to st.iy there a fortnight." " When are we going? " 1 asked. " Just a week to-day, Betty," Daddy said as he got up from the breakfast table. " Now I must hurry. Mummy will tell you all about it." Of course, we had to hoar at*out i t a l l at once. Wc learnt thai we were not to travei by train, but bv niotor-'hus, which would make it much more exciting, and that we were going to a delightful farm called Buttercup Farm, which lay in a little hollow in the Sooth Downs. We were very busy the next few days preparing for our holiday and helping Mummy, and the time simply flew. It was awfully interesting going by motor-'bus, passing through dear little villages and stopping to let country jieople. carrying big bunches of flowers and baskets of eggs, get in and out of the 'bus. At last we arrived at Buttercup Farm. It was a lovely place, with a thatched root and red roses climbing all over the porch A littie path led light from the front door into the farmyard, and after tea Mrs. Jenkins—she was the farmer's wife—said wc might have a peep in the farm buildings There were lots of cocks and hens and chicks scratching cbout the farmyard, and a lovely big black retriever, called Sam. was lying in the sunshine neat the gate. At first he looked as if he did not like us much, but Mrs. Jenkins called him, and introduced us t o h i m . We stroked his head, anil he wagged his tail as i f t o say, " How do you do? " Mrs. Jenkins took us into a barn and showed us the dearest little black puppies with their mother, another re trievcr like Sam. In another building then were two calves, nnd i n a field we saw such a lovely little colt frisking about with its mother. It was fine to wake up early i n t h e morn ing—I forgot to say we had such funny bed- rooms, with sloping ceilings and tiny l"u wineiows—and hear the cocks crowing and the hens cackling. Wo always had lov.-'v brown eggs for our breakfast, and theii honey from Mrs. Jenkins's hives. Before breakfast, if wo wore up early enough, w. used to watch the cows being milked. :i sometimes we would go to fetch the In from the fields with old Tom. who worked '' the farm, and lake i t i n turns to ride OS Dobbin's back. Some days we would hav. glorious picnics on the Downs with Mumnr. and Daddy, but we really preferred helping •boat the farm. We used to watch Mr> Jenkins feeding the fowls, and after a bit she let ns throw corn about the yard foi them to pick up. W e g o t t o know the place* whore the hens laid their eggs, and tome times wo were allowed to take a basket ;ni: look for them. Then we helped to pick currants in the garden, and we gather lavender from the big bushes outside t sitting-room window and dried i t i n t h e sir Mother and I made little muslin bags to pi.' the lavender i n . a n d when we came aw Mrs. Jenkins gave us se-voral bags stuff> full of lavender because we helped her. The greatest treat of all was the h.v making. Mr. Jenkins had one field in wi- the hay was not yet gathered i n , so one (tin morning he told ns we could help if we liked Wo took our lunch and s]>eiit the whole da in the havfield, helping to gather u p t h e hay into heaps, and then tilling on top of the hay cart to the rick, and back again in th< cart to pick up some more hay.

Of eour- David did not mean it unkindly w h e n !.< said : " I would much rather a farm holiday thai a seaside one, so I hope you won't hai- enough money next year." Daddy only" laughed as he said : "If you are good children, and Mrs. Jen kins will have y o u , y o u shall come again." I think Mrs. Jenkins liked us. because she said she would miss us. and just before sin left she gave us one of those lovely black puppies. We are going to call him" Butter- cup, which, perhaps, you'll think is a silly name f o r a d o g , b u t we simply must, because he comes from Buttercup Farm. A DOG WHO WENT SHOPPING. Some dogs arc very clever, as I expect most o f y o u know, aud they have very good memories. When they have once visited a certain house or shop they generally re- member it next time they " g o along that way. Also they can be taught to do things at certain times. For instance, some dogs will meet a paper boy or postman and take papers or letters back to their master or mistress. One dog was taught by his master to go into a shop by himself, carrv- ing a written order i n h i s mouth for dog' biscuits. The shopman wouli. take the pajier from the dog, read the order, and give the biscuits to the dog, who would carrv them home and eat them. Time after time the dog appeared at the shop for biscuits with the order in his mouth, till at last the shopkeeper gave him the biscuits without looking at the paper. But wheu the dog's master received the bills he complained that lie had been charged with more biscuits than he had ordered. The shopkeeper was surprised, and the next time the dog came i n h o looked at the order. It was a blank sheet of paper ' It was discovered that the dog had liked the biscuits so much that whenever he wanted some he just hunted around f o r a piece ol white paper, and then trotted off to the shop with i t i n h i s mouth. John and his mother had been planting seeds, and at the end of each row thev bad put the empty packet on a stick. Iii the night there was a storm, and the packets were blown away. Next morning John ran crying into his mother's room: "Mummy, all the pictures have blown away, and now the poor little seeds won't know what to jrow up into."
