Remington Railroad Park.

The Federated Clubs are deeply interested in the improvement of our railroad park, which has always been a bit of neglected ground in the heart of our town, upon which the eye of the traveling public rested with any emotion other than pleasure and admiration. In spring it has been a medley of grass knolls, decorated with waste paper Idly blown by every gust of wind; ash piles and indiscriminate flotsam and Jetsam of the town. In summer It was a weedy, dusty waste on which the heated weary train passenger gazed in disgust. The Federated Clubs are represented by the so-called railroad park committee, of which Mrs. Frank Kelly Is chairman, her associates being Mrs. Frank Peck, Mrs. George Hascall, Mrs. C. W. Merritt, Mrs. Rainier and Miss Millie Gray. 1 ‘

This conimittee secured the approbation of the town board. Our agent, Mr. Coleman, interceded with the railroad authorities aad obtained for the club ladies permission to beautify this little park as they might judge best, offering assistance in the matter of draining, dirt and sod. Last Saturday, men from ‘three different sections were here in the Interests of the railroad, preparing the ground, filling in and laying a carload of sod. Seven beds also were prepared for ornamental plants and the committee will place two beds of cauvas, two of salvia, two of red geraniums, and a station marker with keystones. The letters and keystones are to be done in achryanthus. The railroad has promised to keep up this park, sprinkling, mowing, etc., and will place park signs “Please keep off the grass.”

Married Life Second Year

"WEILL, WE’LL NEVER make thai train at this rate.” Warren glanced at .his watch. “It’S a quarter of eigh’ * now." “Oh, if you had only let me pacli this trunk., last night. I was afraic we’d be hurried .this morning.” “You had plenty of time If yoi hadn’t dawdled so.” h Helen was down on her knees pack, ing the steamer trunk with hervou* haste, while Warren was pacing impatiently up and down. He had already packed and strapped his tw* suit oases -with swift precision. Bui Helen was still struggling to get ai.’ of her own and Winifred’s things. There had been time to pack veo carefully before they left home, anc even thqn the capacity of the trunk had been strained. But now that sh« was hurried it seemed impossible tc get all the things in. "Could yqu put my bedroom slippers and Jhia waist in one of your suit cases? I don’t believe I can get them In here!" “Hum! I thought that was coming,’’ as he swung a suit case up on the table to unstrap it, “Here—give them here! ” ungraciously. He shoved the slippers among his brushes and the waist in with his shirts. “And could you get in this powdei

box?” “Wrap it up then. I won’t have that stuff over everything.” “Now, that's all I’ve roorii for,” as he closed and restrapped the case. Helen was crushing in the last few things with desperate disregard of how they would look when taken out. • “Now, if yorf*ll help lock it,” as she put down the lid, which lacked several inches of closing. “You can’t get that down. Some of those things will have to come Out.” The Trunk Is Closed. , “But I’ve no place to put them. Oh, dear, we must get this closed. Wait, I’ll sit on It. There —now try!” After much struggling it was finally closed and locked. “Now, come on down to breakfast! We’ve only about twenty minutes left.”

“Oh, Warren, I won’t have time for breakfast. I’ve all these little things to put in. the handbag. You go on down—don’t wait for me. I’ll get something when I get home.” “You’ll do nothing of the kind! You’ll come down and have some breakfast now. There’s no sense of your fooling around here all morning packing a few things.” As Helen swept the last article Into the handbag, the porter appeared for the baggage. “This all, sir?” as he dragged the steamer trunk and suit cases out lnto the hall. “Yes, that’s all. Now be sure to take them right down. That train goes at 8:45.”

“Yes, sir, they’ll be down there In ten minutes.” Helen was looking hurriedly about the I*oool, In the wardrobe and through the bureau drawers. “Come on, come on!” shouted Warren, already out In the hall. *1 Just wanted to be sure we haven’t left anything. Oh, wait, here’s my rubbers on the closet Bhelf. Now, where will I put them?" “Put them on,” curtly. “That’s the easiest way to carry them.” Minnie, the nurse girl, had already gone down with Winifred and a small satchel, and was now waiting for them on the veranda. In the dining room the breakfast Warren had ordered was on the table. “Have you settled for everything?” asked Helen, as she gulped down her coffee. “Did that last night. Everything’s paid for.” The hotel bus was waiting to take them to the station. The nurge girl, Winifred, Warren, Helen and the two satchels took up one side, while the two old maid school teachers, who had spent their vacations at the hotel, bad the opposite seat. To Helen, with her home and wifeloving instincts, a woman Strugs’ lag through life alone seemed more or less pathetic. And now she felt there was something wistful in > the eyes of these two old maids as they watched Winifred, who was holding tight to a small Teddy bear. A sudden sense of gratitude filled Helen’s heart as Bhe thought of how much she had compared to these women. Her husband and her baby! Ah, yes; that was a great deal! She was proudly conscious when Warren helped her and the nursemaid out, and then courteously held open the ’bus door for the two school teachers. The trunk and suit cases were already on the platform. The train was Just due. Warren hurried Into the baggage room to get the checks while Helen and the nursegirl wilted outside. And again Helen had a feeling of pity for the two old maids who had to get their own tickets and check their own baggage. .^4 Yea it was good “to be taken care of.” And now the sound of the in-rushlng train as It swept-around the curve and bore down on them with clanging bell and loudly escaping steam. •“Hdre, don’t stand so near!” Warren pushed Helen back roughly. “Don’t you know better than to stand as

close as that?*’ But Helen didn’t mind the gruffness of his tone, for it w§e after all a part of the "being looked after” that Bhe so loved. .. . u..... . Warrep led the way through to the last coach before they found two vacant seats together. The nursemaid, Winifred and the two satchel* were settled in thb first and Helen and Warren Just behind. “Oh, Isn’t It close In here? Can you raise Otis window?" asked Helen. "You’ll be covered with soot." J£.*But we must have some air—it’s Wmgr ;- - —— l ~rr = Warren reached over to raise the window but it stuck fast ’ “I’ll have to get there—l cant open it from hero" - She moved over while he put his knee on the seat and strained at the window. WHI It refused to go up.

then never mind, dear," seeing he was losing his temper. Wait until the conductor oomea by “ . But to be thwarted In any effort always incensed him. And now as h« threw his whole weight against it his hand slipped and hit sharplj against the woodwork. “Oh! I’m so sorry—-did it hurt you^ He rubbed his knuckles with a muttered oath. “Oh, dear, you’ve* skinned th« knuckle. I’m so sorry. There's soma witch *hazel in the handbaig—don’t you want it?" He shook her hand from his ana “No, I don’t. All I want is to..be let alone. You’re never content with things as they are. You’re always wanting something else, I never saw such a woman. It’s either too hot ot too cold, or too much air or not enough. Now,” drawing a newspapei from his pocket, “I’d like to have the rest of this trip In peace.” Helen bit her lip and turned to gaze out at the flying fields, blinking hard to keep back the tears. And she only asked him to raise the window! She was conscious that the two oid maids, who had taken a seat a little further beck across the aisle, were watching her closely. Warren’s voice had been so loud that even through the noise of the train they heard plainly. And this time their gaze was the pitying one.

How To Buy An Electric Flatiron

The secret of success and enonomy in using an .electric flatiron, says A. H. Miller, in October Good Housekeeping Magazine, lies in purchasing the proper size of iron for the- size of your family. For a family of two small children and two grown persons, a five-pound iron Is best suited, r while for a family of four to six “grown-ups,” a six-pound iron may be counted on to give the beet results. For a very large family, consisting of both children and grown persons, and employing a laundress, it is far more satisfactory to use two irons of different weights. One of these may be an eight or nlne-poand iron for ironing tqble linen, linen skirts, etc., and the other a three or four-pound iron for waists and thin goods. Since the electric iron retains heat for Borne length of time this is advisable, not only from"fbe standpoint of economy, but because better results are secured by snapping off the current -when the iron Is on the stand.

A Frying Help

When frying veal, either steaks or chops, first dip the meat in a little sweet milk. Then place It in a frying pan containing hot butter (ft a mixture of hot butter and lard.
