wv TO KEEP THE LAWN FRESH AND GREEN ALL THE SUNNNE

operator guides II over the slope IN
lines parallel to the top.
IL after the grass has been trimmed
there is a refreshing fall of rain, ii will
take on a prettier green and flourish
with double vigor. An artificial shower
may be substituted for rain. If the plot
is a small one and the grass not very
fiourishing. n little ammonia added To
the water in the sprinkler is said to be
an excellent tonic.
The sprinkling OF the lawn In the
evening will contribute greatly to the
modification OF the temperature. A fine
spraying apparatus attached to the end
OF the hose will do the work when the
lawn is too large TO be conveniently
gone over with the old fashioned water
ing can.
The most satisfactory arrangement
is the automatic lawn sprinkler, which
will cast n spray over large area and
requires no attention while IL is in oper-
alton. Now and then IL may be moved
to a new corner OF the lawn, so that the
water will be evenly distributed. The
water Is scattered in cloud Of drops
that is as pleasing To the eye as 1t is
cooling TO the atmosphere.
Some of the sprinklers are mounted
on nlRn STANDS, ana OtneIS are merely
raised a little from the earth. Even
the small revolving sprayers cover an
area thirty feet in diameter while the
large ones take In space forty-eight
| feet in diameter. Those mounted upon
stands vary from two feet To three feet
in height. They are supplied with one
to four arms perforated with tiny holes.
/ a hose is attached to a water faucet at
one end and to the sprinkler AT the 9TH
| er. When the water is turned on, the
arms begin TO revolve. and the spray
| bursts through the little perforations
and is scattered far and wide over the
grass.
In the evening when the sun has set
and the family is gathered upon the
| veranda the sprinkler in 2ctive opera
| tion affords the same satisfaction as a
| fountain. IL Is not only a picturesque
! adjunct to the lawn. but comfort TO
the suburban family TO which sea and
mountain breezes are denied. The cost
OF fountain is prohibitive. but first
class lawn sprinkler may be bought for
from 50 to SO. The hose, OF course. Is ex-
ira, but most families nowadays own
length OF this.

Tight Gloves.

Tight gloves are worse than tight
shoes. The shoes may give a dainty
look TO the foct in spite OF the tortures
endured but tight gloves make the
hands fat and red and ugly. The flesh
bulges out and wrinkles form.
Gloves should be- worn so easily ft-
ting that rings may remain under
them. The red. creased look OF the
palm when gloves are too tight is
abominabe. The maiden who wears
the glove is the only one who is deluded
into the belief that her hand looks well
