THE CHRISTIAN FAMILY.

Its Distinguishing Traits Outlined by Rev.
Mr.. Sterrctf, OF Columbian University.
Rev. ]. Mcbride sterrett, of the Column
bian University. lectured before an audience
ofladiesonly at Epiphany Church Wednesday
morning on the subject of The Christian
family"
The lecture reviewed the marriage state
in all its different phases, noting the short
comings and pointing out the relations
which should exist in the weli-organized
family Marriage, he said. was not state
of blissful happiness, but rather one Of
hardship and trial, q school for the devel
Cpment OF character. The virtue in family
life is the possibility of making home life
sweet, tender. and happy: the beauty OF
child-life about tie home pervados the at
mosphere as II spirit of something above
the ordinary and makes it b eaithful and holy
The prevailing idea ttat one member of
l family should do this, that, or the ether,
simply because scrhe other member OF the
family does so, is the cause Of untold mis-
cries; il is iTTelieiCUs, the foundation OF all
contention and disagreement and the final
destruction OF happircss in family life.

''full-length" figures which must be ar
rangeGto contrast with sucn compact plants
as dwarf nasturtiums, asters and calen-
dulas; for that matter variety in form and
color is quite necessary on vertical lines,
and a gardeners ignorance OF this fact
shows that he is deficient in an essential
and important part OF his work.
Sweet peas, nasturtums, coreopSis pop
pies, and phloxes are too troublesome
by reason OF their Shapelessness to meet
the requirements of the inartistc gardener,
who always prefers plants OF a dwarf
compact and conventional nature. This
is a pity, for it restricts variety; not one
OF these ANIMALS lacks anything in beauty,
but they all require Of the gardener some
understanding of their unconventional ma
tUres, and the skill TO arrange the surround
ings for their brilliant co!orS. Such grace
ful things as bachelors buttons, coreopSis.
popples, and deiphinums ought to have
Their seed sown by the ounce, along wind
ing paths and in Irregular spaces. Dwarf
nasturtiumS, having a somewhat symmet-
r!cai figure, are particularly adapted "a
culture in tubs: but the LobblaDum variety
likes to roam free and wide, and ii should
be trained to follow graceful lines.
Art in gardening means more than a
temporary and superficial arrangement
of Towering plants; it is a matter OF
study in color md form; slow development
or beautiful effects, dependent upon con.
tinually changing conditions. No cast-iror
rules can be followed: everything depends
upon the ability of the amateur gardener
to produce by patient and conscientious
work picture made of natures own ma
terials. a garden which is not picturesque
shows a lack of artistic feeling in the
gardener.

PATTERNS ON FLOWER BEDS.
If all Towering plants grew like peonies,
with plenty of foliage and isolated blooms,
we would not need 10 give so much atten-
ton to the separation of conflicting colors
The true gardener is a true artist, and
he is inevitably a follower OF nature.
There is nothing suggest We of nature in a
color pattern defined by flowers. If one
inS Ssts pOn hay Bg "a pattern" in miLd,
why not work ii vertically instead OF
horizontally There are ways of reliey-
ing lilies and Giadioli against Cydonia
Japonica and weigela bushes, and sunilcwers
against dark foliage backgrounds. White
lilies (the CaEd.dUm Variety relieved against
compact and symmetricai hooee rows, are
more interesting than are grass plots pat
termed with oolors and ge. Fniums.
PROPER GROUPING OF FLOWERS.
On the proper selection and grouping to-
gether OF plants, shrubs, vines, and trees the
artistic appearance OF the garden depends.
It must also lie borne in mind that flower
garden is not worthy os the name unless it
contains effective masses of color. Green
should be considered as the background
or setting on which the flower colors are
to find relief; group of white lilies needs
an uGdiStuTbed background of soft shady
green; but rot so the rose, whose foliage
furnishes certain amount of detail in line
as well as broken color, altogether ad-
mirable as the setting for the cCmpl. l.caied
structure OF the flower Yet rose bushes
are often planted where a spreading back
ground of green destroys all detail, and the

The graceful outlines ow white lilies can
