Polly Writes About Roses and
Intensive Farming on Long Island
The Time Is
JPatty. my child:
Thin is the life! Vine street may be
sequestered, the way may be long: and
tortucus. But when you once set here
well, it is like pulling eye teeth to git
you away.
That is the only trouble about living
in the country in New York state, in the
summertime. Everybody else wants to
be there, too. People who before did
not remember that they had ever heard
of you, suddenly remember that you are
a cloe relation, anl come down upon
you, like a wolf on the fold.
But the remarkable part about my rel
atives, the Johnathan Johnson's, is that
they aeera to like it tremeudously. And
everybody likes them.
NVh n you think of Long- Island you do
rot p cture lovely rose-covered cottages,
wonderful sunsets, quaint churches and
fields of dafsles, do your But, Patty, my
dear, if you will close your eyes and
d:r.or strate, you will rind both.
1 wi nt to tell you about Rose Cottage,
because I think the story is well wortn
telling, in these days of steep rents, when
all th-. world wants to be in New York,
and cimnot find any place to live.
My Cousin Miriam is Just the kind of
person one likes to tie to. She is sweet
and piactlcal and quite wonderful, to me.
I used to think I had streaks of indus
try, in the south, but I realize that they
were Indeed streaks. There must be
something in the air of Queens and Man
hattan that mikes one Industrious. Per
haps it is an inheritance from the old
T'utch. tettlers. Anyhow It permeates
even the farthest corners of the state. I
reminter mby cousin jothathan quite
well, ar.d he was always most successful
as a business man, but no one could have
called lilm domestic lit ttis tastes. But
if you could see him now. you would
rsever know him. Patty, In the world. So
does mtrrlage make the man.
Hose Cottage is the snowplace of Glenn
Morris. And he is the showman. I
simply Tove to watch him work. He loves
every inei of ground, every blade rt
grass, every chicken, and every CAT.
For the-e are nine cats at tose Cottage.
You remember, Patty, how I always
loathed cats. But I do not loathe these
cats. Jar from it. They are too sweet
for wcrds. Soft Persians, beautiful
smoky j?rey and pure white Angoras,
too lovely for words. , Cousin Miriam
hag won ever and ever and ever no many
blue ribions at Cat Shows In New York,
an.'. Is fretting ready for one, now.
They have a cattery out in the yard,
wnere the nine cats live. Jf each cat ha.s
nine, lives that would be eighty-one cats,
wouldn't it? Well, tney are lovely
enough to be immortal.
The cattery la all screened, and next to
that Is the chicken yard, where they
Rave darling white leghorns that lay the
nicest fresh white eggs you ever saw.
And next to that is the garden and or
chard, in that tiny orchard they have,
paches and pears and cherries and plums,
raspberries and gooseberries and straw
berries, amd each year grow tomatoes
and corn and cabbage and all kinds of
vegetables.
Their tiny back yard is lovely with Jts
Khadetrees, and in the rront and 8ids
yards there are roses everywhere. Tjiey
clamber over trellissb specially built
for them, every kind or . rambler that
you ever heard of, yellow and pink and
white and crimson if there were any
blue roses. I am sure they would havs
them. They have an American beauty
that Is & trailer, and clambers up the
front porch, just like any ordinary hardy
rose vine. But I have Kept the best for
the last. They have AN ENTIRE HEDGE
of La France roses, and a great bead ot
every other handsome variety you ever
heard of. And beds of coleous, anl
syrlnga bushes and ' wmte pepper vini
and rinksrsperma, and deutsia, and al
most every kind of blooming flower you
ever heard of. It is simply wonderful.
You eould take this place and set it
down in the middle of our front yard
and lose It. Talk about Intensive farm
ing! My cousin gets down on his knees
and clips the edges or his-lawn to keep
it spic and span and it is me spannest
I ever saw. and the whole place is the
prettiest thing I have ever seen. His
wife told me all about it, the other
morning, while we sat in tneir screened
porch, which is the biggest part of the
darling little house.
"We were living In Brooklyn.' she said,
"and I loathed It. It was impossible to
get a decent apartment for less than
fifty dollars a month, and then one had
absolutely no comfort. At last we deel i ;d
to get a place in the country and my
husband would commute. When we came
here six years ago this was a wilderness.
There was absolutely nothing to - show
that we could ever make a home. It was
as barren as your hand.
"We bought the house and began to
Improve the property right away. ,We
have done practically all of the work
on the place except the actual building
of the house. My husband works in trie
garden in the morning before he goes to
his office In Brooklyn and in the flower
yard In the evenings, when he gets home
And the best part of it is that the doc
tors thought he was going into decline,
from the close confinement of his work.
And he has never been so well in hla
life. And e are too happy for words."
And so am I.
Patty, you know how I have longed to
be a musician. Well, they say that IT
you want anything hard enough and long
enough, you will get It. You should hear
me play Chopin and Wagner, and rag
time and valses. I have also developed
a new music all my o'i. I put a roll in
backwards the other night and it sound
ed like Chinee. Yes, you guessed right
the first time. They have a pianola. I
have played so much that I don't know
but that walking to Vine street, would
seem real snort, compared to this viol snt
exercise. But I am crazy about it. And
so are our neighbors. I understand they
are getting up a petition. But I should
worry. It seems they do not like to
hear arias morning, noon and night. Ah,
well. All good things .must come to n
end. even for the neighbors. I am going
back to town tomorrow. I have had an
order from the Most Disagreeable Man 5n
New York, to come back to the city and
finish some sketches T nave started, no
Labor will win, as usual, and I shnll say
goodbye to Vine street and Rose Cottage
tcrr.orrow.
Yours with love.
POLLY.
P. S. I wish you would try to make
Dad listen to reason.

Doesn't hurt a bit and

Apply a few drops
then lift sore,
touchy corns right
off. 3STo pain. Yes,
magic!
A few cents buys a tiny bottle of
the mngic Frcczonc at-.any drug store.
Apply a few drops of Frcezone upon a
tender, aching corn or a callus. In
stantly that troublesome corn or callus
stops hurting, then shortly jou lift it
out, root and all, without any pain,
soreness or Irritation. These little bot
tles of Freezone contain just enough to
rid the feet of every hard corn, soft
corn, corn between the toes and the
calluses on .bottom of feet. So easy!
so simple. Why wait? No humbug!

the modification recently mad. In th
rules with regard to granting passports
to wires -or mothers of soldiers to en
courage the belief that more than a hani
tul will be able to go to Europe to Join
their soldier husbands or sons at any
time tWs summer.
The announcement made by Secretary
Baker on May Uth that he "had notified
the state department that on and aftir
June 15th1 the 'war department will In
terpose no objections to the granting of
passports to the wives or mothers of
American officers and enlisted men who
may wish to gd to Europe" gave rise to
the almost general belief that the war
department was going to carry unlimited
number of mothers and wives of Ameri
can officers and men to France at gov
ernment expense and maintain them
while there.
Such Is far from the fact. All that
Secretary Baker did was to remove the
specific objection of the war department,
made early In the war at the reoueft of
the allies, to permitting close relatives
of members of the American Expedition
ary force to go to Europe. Secretary
Baker's note did not afeet the general
policy of the. state department with re
gard to granting passports.
In the first place the war department
i.v not .going to carnr the women over or
rrlng tuem back and they must pay their
own expenses while over there.
No relative of an officer or enlisted
man who Is scheduled for , early return
is to be permitted to go over. ,
Application from women In this coua
try to be permitted to go over will not
be 'recognised. The applications musi
originate with the soldier serving abroad
and must come through the commanding1
general of the A. E. F., who must flrflt
te assured (1) that the officer desires h:s
wife, mother or other Immediate mevn
ber of his family to Join him: (2) that It
meets with the approval of the com
manding general of the A. E. F., and (31
that the period of duty to which the of
ficer Is assigned will be sufficient to
Justify his wife or other relative Joining
him.
Secretary Baker also made It Tery
clear that the war department Is pro
hibited by law from carrying civilians
on Its transports and will be unable t
assure assistance in the way of transportation.
