EV‘E’S RAMBLINGS.
EQMMENI AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN. BY ONE _
OF THEM.
America’s custom of. a purely senti-
mental engagement frequently dis-
courages all considerations of the
everyday needs and conditions of life
that young people must meet after
marriage. The mention of finances is
too frequently ignored?
After the betrothal the young wom-
an finds herself an idol in the eyes of
her fiance, and unless she has a firm
mental equipoise and great commOn
sense there is danger that this adula-
tion. will turn her head and that she
will become affected and conceited.
Thmmuit, if she is a weak woman,
wifl-benthat all the selfishness that lies
withinnh’er'will come to the surface,
andlthat in the wedded life she will be
unwilling to assume the energetic
houSe-wifely duties, and in all prob-
ability will sink into a complaining,
petulant woman, who, missing the'con-
stantly expressed adoration of her en-
gagement days, secretly blames her
.W for the result.
There; is no doubt that a, great deal
of the unhappiness of married life is a
result of the selfish pathos of sentiment
‘ and self-adulation into which the. wod
manlallows herself tosink during'the
engagement. "
Bf she is naturally inclined to indo-
lence, this tendency will be greatly
fostered, for she will see her life
SmOOthly-mapped out before her by
another and‘herself deliyered from the
necessity of exertion—her entire future
painted. in the attractive but evanescent
“couleur de rose.”
Because She is able to sink into a
state of inaction she does so, and thus
lets herself drift toward the saddest
and most hopeless of lots—an empty
life.

Men seem to have an idea that every
real womanly woman is a walking pin-
cushion. ’
Why, oh, why does __ the stout lady
always cling to a sash as her joy- of
toilette accessories ?
It is rarely that a woman finds out
that she is pretty because another
woman tells her so. ,
It frequently happens that the woman
who is most talked about is the one
who least deserves it. .
A hungry dog can almost look the
teeth out of your mouth when you are
eating and he is not.
When will our women adopt the au-
omobile crane that nowdominates the

There is a book published entitled
‘ Hints on Reciting;” it could be con-
densed into one hint—don’t.
It is a noticeable fact that we put up
with many things that we once de-
clared we couldn’t endure ?
It is said that too much iced tea is
decidedly injurious, but who of us ever
thought that we drank too much ?
Memory with all its bitter sweet de-
lights is the thing in life that keeps us
awake far more often. than conscience.
Women do not mean to be dishOnest,
but you can rarely judge the size or a
woman’s foot by the number of the
shoe she asks for.
The individual with the palpably
woe-be gone air- can be pretty well
sized up as he who got home from his
vacation just in time to meet this hot
wave. ' ‘
What is the use of there being such
attractively low-priced remnants in the
shops? It is too hot to arouse sufficient
ambition to make them up after they
arebought. , .
The short hairs that in novels always
curl in graceful tendrils on the hero-
ineis pretty neck are much more prone
to hang down in inartistic limpness

SOLVING leE PROBLEM.
the Culture of Alfalfa is Reclaiming No-
bras'ka'o Scull—Arid Land‘s.
Southern and Southwestern‘ Ne-
)raska is; still talking alfalfa and
lens." Of course, all the alfalfa talk
ncludes about the best beef stfir and
dis sister, and :the talk of the hen in~
:ludes- the talk about eggs. Alfalfa
Ind the hen is‘doin‘g wonde‘rful thugs
‘ (or Southern and Southwestern’Ne—
iraska.
Time ' was when the average Ne-
)raska farmer could think of acres
anly by the thousand, and hens were
rousidered as something too insignifi-
.-ant for a farmer to “consider. TO-
lay a few acres of alfalfa, a'few beef
:teers, some dairy cows, a few hogs
ind a lot of hens are making the
farmer richer than multiplied acres of
20211. ‘ _
The alfalfa crop has steadily in-
:reased every year for, twenty years,
iut‘despite the manifest aZdvantages
if this crop there are somepeop’le who
refuse to believe that it iS'a 530d crop
ind persist in raising corn and haul?
ng it to' market. A».
Alfalfa will grow almost every-
where if it can be started. A few
rears ago '
vould grow only on the bottom lands.
Po-day some of the best alfalfa fields
11 the State are in the sandhills and
IDOD. the uplands. Alfalfa is a won-
lerful enricher of land. Its roots ab-
:orb water like a sponge. Take a
ield of corn and a field of alfalfa ly-
ng side by side. After a good rain
lo a little experimenting. Dig down
11 the corn field and you will find the
earth moistened by the rain to a
tenth of 3 or 4 inches. Then dig
lown into the alfalfa field and you
vill find that the rain soaked down
'rom 18 inches to 3 feet.
The only trouble in getting alfalfa"
itarted on the uplands is to carry it
:hrough' a season of dryness. Once
he alfalfa roots are well grounded it
vill grow and increase in yield. As a
*tock food it has no equal. Hogs will
:at it cured as greedily as when green.
Llld they prefer it to corn at all times.
