I suppose you might call mo a tlsitlng gardener , but I have never given ray work a name , " Ml s Delia I'latt rcpllo'l .when nskeil about her profession. "I am 23 years old , and have been engaged In the work for nearly five years , and Inat year cleared $1,8G6. " Hero Miss I'latt laughed , and continued : "Now I think I deserve some praise for answering these two questions before they wore ashed and tell ing the truth In each Instance. 'Wy father-was a Jersey farmer , and I , ns the eldest of five girls , was being educated f6r a teacher. Just a few months before I "was " to have "begun " a course In < v normal colleRo my father died very suddenly. Wo found 'Wo had nothing free from -mortgago excepting our household fiirnlture nnd one horso. It was the middle of the season and the crop on which via depbndcd had' to be worko.1 and gathered. I was the eldest of the family , so there was nothing-for me but to take up the farm where our father fond loft it. "When the nnd of the year came and It mas' discovered I had managed well , that Is , had paid the Interest on our mortgaged properly , kept the girls nt school nnd had a email surplus laid by , It was decided I should rtm the place another twelve'months. 4 12 n I n fK I ii K Her IluxIncKH. "To make Belong story short , Boon after the purchase of another horse a gentleman living In South Orange rode over my farm and' was BO pleased with Its appearance that ho asked why I couldn't como and break up his garden. He , It seems , asked the tAics- tlon In Jest , but found mo willing to take Iho matter up fa a business way. I went over tb.6 next week'and ' laid out and planted bis" garden. Ho'wns' ' pleased with my work , nnd'being" min Inclined to pralso his own , loll to ( Dragging about that garden before tho' seeds came up. The result of his boast ing Induced jiovcral persons -who had never thought of raising their own vegetables to h\mt \ mo up nnd offer tholrwork. . "Fortunately that season proved a good growing olio and owners of the gardens I bad planted and continued to work were 'Well ' pleased with Mho result In a llnanclal way , as well as having enjoyed the pleasure of picking their own vegetables. ' "Before- the beginning of a second season I made calls on a number of persons living In the Oranges and 'Montclalr and engaged to take the planting nnd working of their kitchen gardens for the coming season. Dpnrt think I went to the wealthiest fam ilies. They nro the very people a woman wishing ( o engage In this .work . must avoid. Such people 'are able to' employ a special gardener 'and have a stable full of horses ta do any sort of work they fancy. I ap plied to' these who kept neither horse nor man , but whoso lot contained a good garden plot' ' . In the miajorlty of Instances this was jiot a very big pieceof land and had been allowed 'to run to weed , and was , therefore , useless to the owner. I.ooltlnfc-After tlic Unnlenii. "I take iny gardens In rotation ; that Is , I break up the whole of them In the autumn ; In the sprfag I give them the seconi } working over , then I go back , lay them all off , plant the earlier varieties of "seeds and so my gar dens allcomo on together. "As I alwa'ys supply the seeds and plants , I get "them at wholesale prices ; -which greatly reduces the cost. I have my own greenhouses and forcing beds , so I raise all the plants used. Then , too , I make on my farm ail the compost needed as fertilizer. ' I may also add that'there nro many vegetables the seeds ofwhich are saved each year. But that ls n llcjiartment looked after by my younger sister , who declares that she In tends becoming a seed farmer. "As"tho result of my flve years' work on our farm , and as visiting gardener , I have paid oft the mortgages on our property , have carried'out my father's plans as to the edu cation of niy sisters , have added many now implements , own four Instead of two horecs nnd am 'beginning ' to lay by with the Inten tion of buying inoro land and giving each of my sisters as good a start In 'life as I had. Ofcourse , this has been done with money made on the farm , together -with that earned by miy gardenJng , ibiit In stating that ' I had cleared , f 1,356 , last year I meant "on'my visit ing work ajono. "One great advantage of my profession Is that the pay Is sure. It is In no , way de pendent : on-the season or the yield of the Tand. I agrco to plant the gardens for a elated sum. Then , having the horses and labor at command and supplying seeds , etc. , It Is llko buying at wholesale and selling at retail. When I engage to attend entirely to tho. garden for the whole season my profits as a rule are proportionately larger. vAnd where a flower garden on the same premises Is added I consider myself fortu nate. It IH IIciiIili-GlvliiK AVorlr. * 'I always make at 'least' weekly Inspection tionof every garden and direct my men when and where to go and .what to do. If I have a now hand I break him under my own eye nnd on our garden and consequently I know exactly how far the labor I send out can bo relied on. I use a wheel In going about and you may bo' sure no grass grows und6r , tuo bicycle , but neither do I work .myself to death , as I see so many teachers doing. "To any .woman . desiring1 to take up this work , I would advise her to begin In a suburban place , where people'are In comfort able circumstances. That Is , own their own homes arid can afford to live at case somo- what. In such localities the lots' nearly al ways contain a garden plot which , If prop erly -worked , .will produce all the vegetables , flowers and melons the family can use. She may have fiomo dlfllculty In persuading the owners to make a beginning the llrst year , but after that , If she has managed properly , I will guarantee she will have no dlfllculty In holding her Job. I have never found a family who was willing to go back to buyIng - Ing vegetables after experiencing the pleasure of picking them from their own gardens. " IV11E1113 MOTIII3IIS FA If. . They T'nll Short of tlio IiU-nl Mother IlrciiiiNC They I.nclf Clnlvt Dignity. "Too many mothers do not realize that tht < ro are any problems In tholr relationship with their grown daughters , " Bays Temple Uatloy In the August Woman's Homo Conv panlon , writing of "Sorao Mothers and Their Daughters. " "Tho training of little chll dren Is discussed as an nil-Important topic. Why should not the dcllcato questions which must nrlao In every household where two or moro women of strong personality live' ' In constant and close contact receive Just as careful consideration ? It Is after the school days' { hat the troubles begin. The mother -wild has clung to her llttlo girl falls to rec ognize the needs of' ' the growing womari 'and la hurt 'by any Independent action on the part of the daughter ! while the daughter , In her eagerness to grasp at the best In the now life , forgets the deference which Is due to the mother. Out of these conditions email clashlngs ensue , to end , too often , In colnpleto discord. It In Just at this time that the mother must bring all horjovo and ntbals of the deepest dye. The poor folks believed the story Implicitly and their relief when they found that our troops were quite llko ordinary human beings was pathetic. There are places In the Interior even now where the people belle vo that the Americans belong to a two-headed species of the human family. A little girl in Manila examined rno with big-eyed wonder for jso'voral days after my arrival. She finally edged up to me and nuked mo In childish Spanish 'where 1 kept the other one. ' " 'Other what ? ' I asked her. " 'Your other head ; ' she replied , and I at length succeeded In convincing the llttlo ono that I had no superfluous No , 2 head concealed anywhere. ' "In a number of the small Inland places where I visited Iwas the flrat American woman the natives had ever seen , nnd I1 was a distinct curiosity to them. They fol lowed tr : > about In embarrassing droves , calling mo 'America. ' Throughout the Island the' natives are crazy to learn English , wherefore I don't blame them a' great deal , 'for1 the language they now speak Is only called Spanish by courtesy. It Is the most extraordinary Jumble of Spanish , Indian , tAfrlcanese and Portuguese Imagina ble. I speak , of 'course , of the patots of the Inferior people. The high class Porto nicans speak , probably , a purer article of Spanish than the Spaniards themselves the old , uncontamlnatcd Spanish. "Tho contrast between splendor and squalor la everywhere notable throughout I Porto Illco. The very rich people llvo on estates of dazzling magnificence , surrounded by every conceivable luxury , while the poverty of the Inferior people often pitaj j bio. I "Tho scenery Is everywhere Inspiring , but ono cannot live on scenery alone. It. should be said at once that the food supplied on Porto Rlcan tables even on the very best Is very bad. It would not pass muster on the table of a third-rate Washington hoard ing house. The tropical meats , of course , are unbelievably bad , and there is llttlo erne no butter. Of course , their fruiti are superb , but one woarles of tropical fruits I have found that out. "Let mo say something that Is true even If It Is not startling It Is a delightful thing to live In the United States ! " LIKES TO HB STARED AT. ThoHo Who 11 Id the StiirliiR Were Gentlemanly Ah out It. "To say It ds bad manners to stare at women on the streets Is too sweeping an as sertion , " said an old clubman to a New. Orjoans reporter. "Bad manners are prim arily manners that give annoyance to others and an honest stare of respectful admira tion docs not necessarily fall within that category. It docs not excite real , sure enough , bona fide wrath in they feminine 'breast. ' Yesterday afternoon , for Instance , a young -woman inwhite passed through a shopping district to a perfect fusillade of stares. Her gown .was plain , but chic be yond description. Her .belt was caught In front by a silver dolphin. Her hat was garnished -with two Tvhlto doves' wings nnd a big'.black velvet tx w. She was the Incar nation of youth and grace and beauty , and she attracted stares as Irresistibly as a magnet attracts 'steel filings. "As she glided along she left a trail of hypnotized onlookers. Dudes swallowed their cigarettes arid staid men of affairs stopped In the middle of sentence * nnd for got what they were talking about. When she boarded a St. Charles street car the con ductor stared at her In "blissful stupefaction arid rang up nearly $2 worth of Imaginary fares before he recovered his faculties. Several passengers were carried beyond their destination because they couldn't stop staring long enough to see the streets. But was the young woman angry ? Not a bit of It. She happens to be any niece , and I can testify that she arrived home In a pleasur able flutter of excitement. Being a dear , sensible girl , she knew the poor men couldn't help it. You see , there are stares and stares. The women who are flret to complain are generally these -who are stared at least. That sounds ungallant , but It la true. " I1AUY WAS T1IKIH TUU3IP OAHD. How llic Clrlii Dent the Widow nt the Slimmer Itcmirt. "Yes , " said the summer girl to a Wash ington Post man , "she was a widow and young. Her fousband had been dead two years , and she was unoro than beginning to take notice , There weren't but thrco men at the hotel , barring the Saturdays to Mon days , whose wives , of course , never let them out of tbelr slgbt once , Three men and five lrl and the widow. The first night she laid us out cold. She went In for palm istry , the wretcb , and she put In all the evening reading those men's bands , Ono pair of. hands at a time wasn't enough for her oh , goodness , no. She had to Slave one man's hand to read , and the other two men had to stay around so that she could com pare the hand eho was reading with theirs. Next day she 'well , she was one of these ihorrld women who always swlra ouf to the float and Bit out there with the men , whllo the reat of us , Who can't swim , bang on to the ropca and look like a row of Stoughton 'bottles. ' It took all three of the men Jo teach her to dive as If she didn't know bow already ! She said Jovcly things about us girls to the men < b.orrld , rfeslgnlng thine ! And the imen acted as It they thought we were Jealous. The third night we rebelled. She was sitting out on ( he gaery | | after din ner -with tbo men , .when I came up , as tiweet as could he. " 'Oh , Mn. Banggj' I eald , 'your ibaby la Just crying himself into spasms. ' | "Her baby was a little reptile , 3 years , old , and she bad a nurse for hlin , Of course , I she knew lie was all right , and she knew I I know It ; but there were the men , and thbj only play for her was the heavy maternal. She had to leave these men nnd daeh off to the baby , or they'd think she'wasn't a de voted mother , which she wasn't , and which no man can pardon a .woman for not being , Wo worked that chlld-crylng-for-lts-mother lay for all It was worth. Wo never let her rest. Baby wanted her every time she caught sight of a man. Wo talked about bow delicate baby was and .whot a care he must ibe. "We asked every triomlng lidw b'aby's croupy cough was1. We forced that odious widow to devote herself from break fast to bedtime to that reptilian child. Vfo routed her , horee , foot nnd dragoons , She was a widow and wo had a hard flght , but bwby was our trump card , nnd we well , wo had the three men to ourselves after a weak of It. She never said a word , but I'll wager anything you llko that there were times when she'd have delighted In pounding baby with the back of a hair brush and I think she did It once or twice. " ' TWO M1W CAIIINET INDIES. of Mr * . Hitchcock nnrt Mm. Hoot for the Coming SCIINOII. With the return of President and Mrs. Mc- Klnlcy and the reassembling of the cabinet families there will bo many now faces to gatber around the While House table , re ports a Washington correspondent.

Mrs. Hitchcock , wife of the present secretary of the Interior , was also an addition of last year , but owing to her continued absence abroad has us yet SOME OHAKMINO EVENING BODICE. diplomacy to bear. She must endeavor to know her daughter's nature and understand its possibilities and limitations. She will find that her problems are not the problems of her mother nor of her grandmother , for the girl of today Is not llko the girl of yes terday and eho must bo studied from a , dif ferent standpoint. The most unpleasant of all things American Is the dominant daugh ter. Brilliant , restless and discontented , she demands all things as her right rather than as a privilege. The time-honored tale of .tho mother at the washtub and the daugh ter at the piano is verified in the mental atti tude of many households. There' are two things that the mother of such a daughter should cultivate a quiet dignity which shall force the girl's respect and a sympathy which shall win her heart. She must be Interested In that which Interests the | younger mind. And she must not be doin- inrttcd. Her eelB-asscrtlon need not and should not be radical , but she must be queen ot her own household , yielding her scepter to none and especially not to her In experienced daughter. " HER OTHER HEAD. Simple Porto Hleniix DIxniMioliited lit the American Woman ; "Porto Rico Is all very ibeautlful and In teresting , " said Miss Emma Lane , a Wash ington young woman , to a Star reporter. Miss Lane spent the last four months In the Interior of the Island. "Some of the customs of the people down there are calculated to Jar -upon the nerves of Americans.- ' The burial customs are almost as barbarous as these of which ono reads as prevailing In Slam. I was an Involuntary witness of a number of Porto Hlcan burials and I would give something wore I able to dispense with the memory of them , The 'cortege' of ono very old woman whoso burial I saw in Mantl consisted of four young nnd not very ex tensively clad boys. They carried the coffin on two long poles. There was no lid to the coffin and the body was berne through tbo streets exposed to the rays of the sun. I need not say that It made a ghastly sight , this 'cortege. ' When' the boy pallbearers arrived at the cemetery the grave-digger took matters In hand and the body was In continently dumped Into the ground without the coffin , for In Porto Rico , especially In the Interior , coffins are rarely sold outright ; they are simply 'rented out by the under takers , and they are not devised at all to be placed In the 'ground. Not 'alone that , but even the ground In the cemeteries Is only rented for ( specified periods , and If the rental of plots Is not promptly paid the bodies are simply removed from the cemeteries to the nearest boneyards. "While the Porto nicans are kindly and hospitable , their Ignorance is great'and their credulity Is 'almost ' beyond belief. For ex ample , the Porto Rlcans were told by the Spanish soldiers , before the landing of ihe Americans , that the United States soldiers wore possessed of two beads and were can- DOCTOR : "I just stepped in to say that when I order Coffee I want this BAKER'S PKBUlim COFVIIB , and if you try substituting again you will simply lose my trade , I can't understand wuy you allow yourself to be without It , even for a day.

Mrs. Root , who has" spent most of her Ifo | In New York , Is -jvoman of wide social experience , who has traveled much 'in this country "nnd abroad and 'Is'ad- mlrably fitted for the exalted position which she will be called upon to assume. Secretary Hitchcock , who will be Joined ( by his family In the early wlnler , has leased the late residence of ex-Secretary and Mrs. Alger , at 1601 K street , which Is one of'lho best known homes In Washington , by reason' of Its having been the center of the lavish hospitality of the present ambassador to Italy and Mrs. Draper , when the former represented a Massachusetts district In con gress.

The Refined , llic RccUlcdii nnd Iie Co-an-You-1'lcnnei The English and 'Americano are admitted by all 'unprejudiced ' foreigners to be the moet refined eaters < ln the world. To ee them go through the various stages of their dinners Is to 'bare a lesson In the art of graceful eating. Very different Is the behavior of the Rus sian , -who does not disdain to use nature's weapons when bo considers" the latter more convenient than the knife and fork. The Frenchman will use 'a piece of bread In nearly all cases 'where he ehould use a knife. The German , on the other hand , plunges Ws knife Into bis mouth In a way that "Is terrifying. The Swede cuts up all bjs food Into tiny pieces first of all , and then , having laid aside bis knife , proceeds to take up piece by peace wiuh his fork. The Italian uses a epoon quite as often aa a fork. Ho will employ the former for vegetable * , and sometimes oven for fish. Tho" latter use of tihe spoon Is somewhat curious. The Japanese diner uses chopsticks , a form of Implement somewhat difficult to manipulate without considerable practice , while the Chinaman tears his food with his long calls In a manner thoroughly re pulstve. The Greek swallows bis meat In huge mouthfuls , and would probably devour a steak ' -weighing bait a pound in halt a minute. "Taking a very sharp knife , ho divides the meat Into four or' five sections , each ot which bo flings Into his mouth in rapid succession. It Is not to bo wondered at that the Greeks suffer muoh from indl gestlon. A JULY DAY.
