Woman," said Sir Richard Stecle should have gentle softness, tender fear, and. all those parts in life which distinguish her from the other sex " So much for the theorist of the eighteenth century; but if the good Sir Richard could have seen the woman, farmer or the twentieth and imagined her handicapped by the very qualities that he considered so charming he would probably have reversed his opinion at once. One has onjy to motor fifty miles out of London and.see the countryside dotted with chicken farms and dairy farms in their few acres liko mushrooms in a September meadow, to realise how popular "small-holding" has become, and how much more than a mere ideal the phrase "back to the land is at the present day. In this generation there are probably as many women small-holders as there are men, or will be, at least, in a few years. This occupation is absolutely suited to the modern girl with her splendid physique,, her well-developed muscles, and her quiet power of carrying through what she means to do without any fuss, and with a concentration which enables . her to. "get on with it" and leave herself timo to live as well as to work.

. A housewife who has a well-filled garden should remember that she can herself extract from it a variety of delightful scents for her own use, ¥ says an exchange. The method is d simple one. She should provide large, widenecked jam jars, and she +hen should soak pads of cotton wool, having cut them carefully to fit, in the purest •olive oil, and pi c them in the bottoms of the jars. The next step is the separating and pulling to pieces of the blossoms, taking care that none of the stamens or central portions are by a mischance included with the petals. These are then spread in a thin'layer on top of tho otton wool pads, th a sprinkling of bay salt—and this is repeated until re jar is full. Then it is all tied down with a bladder, and left in the sun for several. days—not less than a weak- -ainl w'- the' sunshine has accomplished its part the oil may bo-squeezed but of the cotton wooi, and stored in bottles of more ' appropriate dai: tinesa. Another method .needs tho assistance of the kitchen. The floiyers are pulled to pieces as before, anil placed in a large baking bowl. Meanwhile some non-odorous . fat —mutton .fat is quitp satisfactory—has been melted over the fire, and now, when ii should be nearly boiling, it is poured over the petals, which are thoroughly stirred in with a wooden ' spoon. The bowl is then stood in the open air for. a few days, until the fat solidifies, and then for a few days it is covered over and kept in a cool place. Tho next stage is the breaking up of the fat and petals into jars, where it is all covered with pure spirits of wine, and closely sealed. When the spirit has sufficiently extracted, the pe:fume—it takes a week or so—all that remains to be done is t. filter off the scent into little coloured sprays or bottles, as before.
