IL will soon be time to prepare bed Of garden
herbs Make it where it will get little but not
an abundance as it is not desirable for herbs to flower
western exposure is good one. The most desirable
herbs for the bed are parsley, sage, summer savory
thyme, marjoram, chervil burnet and tarragon
Tarragon must be procured by the root as 1t

and buret are excellent herbs used in mince for
favong salad. The rest named are useful in various
ways for favoring stews, soups, and other cookery,
and for garnishing Chves are very useful and are
very good for a border to the bed 1t is also good

TO raise few shaots and garlics. There are some
dishes to which half Glove of garlic gives peculiarly
delicious flavor. The seed of these herbs can be
obtained at the shop Of any dealer in seeds and

more likely to be killed with kindness than with
neglect.

was quite right A week later later. when standing
in the Throne Room with the corps dplOmatque, the
same woman saw many of the very dresses she had
so admired completely changed by the wearing and
the alterations that had been made To realize what
an effect can be obtained by simple, appropriate
blending OF details you have only TO look into some
of the arsticaly arranged shop windowsthose where
color is really studied. For instance. last week two
New-York windows suggested several charming pos
