14 THE PENSACOLA JOURNAL', SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 8, 1919. LIFT OFF CORNS WITH FINGERS 362 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. t Doesn't hurt a bit and only few cents costs YouH laugh. 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?

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. 10-EE L2) COLLEGE-COfiMSERVATORY SUMMER SESSION OPENS JUNE 26th located in the foot-hills cf the Blue-Ridge Mountains, it combines the advantages of a summer retcrt and school.
