ELIZABETH AND
HER TUB GARDEN
= @@ RA@.ME &

"All the time we were unpacking
and getting settled in the new parson-
age / was wondering where l could
have my flower garden" writes Eliza
beth Steadman to Vick's Magazine.
There wasn't spot of ground avail
able around the house, and I couldn't
possibly be content with few jars on
a plant stand.
Back of the house there was lit
tie creek with a rustic bridge and on
the opposite side hill, covered with
an undergrowth of trees and wild
grape vines. Later on, it proved
most effective background for my tub
garden. In searching for some sort
| of box or keg for my pet Hydrangea
l found lot of kerosene barrels
stored in the cellar.
"An idea came to me. l had heard
of raising cucumbers in barrels, why
not grow plants in them? The parson
| and l talked it over and decided we
would try the experiment.
"Three were sawed in half and the
sides of all perforated with holes three
inches in diameter, at irregular inter
yals Holes were bored in the bot
toms, too. This; done, we first put IL

An Ideal Mother.

The other day on a railroad train l
saw an ideal mother. Until l beheld
her and realized the fitness for that
divine vocation that expressed itself
in every look, word and action l had
not realized how few women possess
the precious gift. 1t appeared to be
instructive and spontaneous, the OUT

ness and tenderness; rather than wis

| not exactly pretty but genuinely sweet
| and it is needless to. say her child
was with her, a little girl at the most
l. winning-usually the most spoiled
age, who, 1t was apparent, had a mind
of her own. The way that mother
led and directed the child's will
without crossing it, and the sweet
reasonableness with which she en-
forced obedience, completely charmed
the people who watched her. 1t ap
! peared to be accomplished by the ex
