This many may regard as a luxury, but the water must be reckoned as a [necessity. In these days of scarcity . of labor, especially house help, all 'labor saving devices are more and ; more essential. There was a time in the history of this section when the small dark 'les were kept growing and fattening by moving to the spring, and toting hot rolls and cakes from the kitch e*n to the* dining room, but those * days are gone never to return.

There ls a little girl In Farm? ville, who has seen the flowers of three summers, and who revels in the luxury of an afternoon drive Not having an auto of her own. nor a horse and buggy, she simply stands by tbe wall rings an imagin? ary phone bell and orders her team from an imaginary liveryman. The response ls a ready one. for she promptly mounts an arm chair, and places a smaller one to the front, reins the obedient steed and of! she goes. she halts at imaginary stores stops at imaginary homes and ie warmly received and graciously en? tertained, and takes In the beau? ties of field and forest with gleam? ing eyes and heart palpitating with Joy.
