Follow This Recipe and You VIII
Have one Complete.
The classical garden, like a sonnet, is
governed by special laws Of harmony
and rhythm. II must have its i've
hills. its ten trees and its fourteen
stones You can get along without the
hills. and you can get along without
the trees, but you cannot get along
without stones. Indeed the perfect
type Of the fat garden Is nothing but
an archipelago of rocks in n sea Of
white pebbles. The stones must be
the foundation; the rest are mere nc
cessorios. Speaking stones are what
Is wnnted-stones that suggest moods
and passions-for the Japanese recog-
nlza that there are sermons In stones.
Each stone has its name and relnuve
place in the. composition. There Is
the guardian stone in the center and
opposite Il the belleview stone. Across
the cascade is the moonshade stone
and so on.
The hills unmask each other by rule
The principal hin has its two foothills
its spnr hills. its distant peak. seen
through a valley. and the low hlll that
must stand on the opposite side of the
lake.
AS there are principal stone and a
principal hill, so must there be "prln-
cipal tree" the shoiln boku, around
which the Tree Of Perfection. the Tree
Of Evil, the Tree of the Setting sun,
the Tree Of Science and the Tree OF
Solitude bow their lesser heads.
These are the essentials. Now, add
one pond, one island. two stone Ian
terms. three bridges and mix thorough
ly, garnish with lotus and serve with
goldfish and mandarin duck. There is
recipe for a Japanese garden.-Wil-

Buttons As Trimmings

For some months now 1t has ben notice
able that fancy buttons Of all kinds were
coming into fashion. and on the wraps
and coats intended for autumn and winter
wear there are some exquisite designs to
be seen, while on gowns intended for the
house as well as street buttons are used
as trimming, while the wide draped belts
or bodices are without exception orna-
mented with them. One of the leading
Paris fashion papers devotes quite lot
Of space to descriptions of the different
kinds of buttons. The new wraps and
coats seem but a pretext to exhibit the
different varieties. For instance, white
cloth coat, In itself a smart garment Is
made markedly so by the beauty of th'
buttons on It which date from the las
century.
The finest enamel Is in the form Of in
sects of brilliant coloring, the colorinl
represented perfectly In the enamel. Thesl
are surrounded with a narrow gold rim
which serves but to enhance their grea
brilliancy.

Battle in Jewels

American women who visit the French

of these watering places by wearing rings,
pearl necklaces and other trinkets in
bathing. One woman at Trouville (but
this was last year, caused a great sensa-
tion by stepping down to the waves clad
IN a mans bathing suit while jewels
flashed from her ears and fingers, and
four large rows Of priceless pearls were
clasped around her throat. One would
suppose the danger Of such a practice
apart from the sheer audacity and bad
taste OF st, would deter any sane person
from such folly. But the fashion Of keep

dip Is now quite established. Soon" sayl

Washing Embroidery

In washing embroidered pieces,
make soapsuds with good white soap
before putting in the linen, and rub
the soiled places with a brush. Rinse
in several waters, for it is the soap
which affects the colors and makes
the linen yellow. Only a single piece
of work should be washed at a time, as
embroidered articles should not be
left long in water. Do not wiring the
article, but press the water out with
the hands, stretch carefully and hang
in a shady place to dry. Embroidery
should always be ironed on the wrone
side until thoroughly dry on a soft
thickly padded surface; a blanket fold
ed eight times makes a good pad. a
clean, soft cloth should be used TO iror
on, and a similar one laid over the ar
ticle. Iron with a moderately hot irof
until nearly dry. then remove th'
cloth covering and continue ironing
on the wrong side until perfectly dry
Always iron with the weave of tn
linen. so the article viii retain it
shape. Iaundered in this way, tn
design will be beautifully brought on

ODDITIES IN PET NAMES.
Cat and PIG Are the Terms Coveted
by French Women.

Cat and Pig Are the Terms Coveted
by French Women.
'If a man in this country calls his
wife cat the foundation is laid for a
divorce suit" said the man who trav-
els. but a French woman takes the
same word as a term Of endearment.
It's odd how the choicest phrases I'm the
vocabulary of affection Of one people
are used for quite an opposite purpose
by another nation. One of the most IA
miliar and most coveted phrases of en-
dearment among the French. for in
stance, is my little pig and my little
puppy dog is also well liked.
But IL the Frenchman were to call
Nine. Narcisse duck, as an American
husband might lovingly call his better
half, she would be very much offended.
One Of the oldest pet names that ev-
er heard of was that used by famous
German general, who always called his
wife my little kernel Of coffee They
were divorced at last, however, and a
cynic said that the generals pet name
should have been my dear little stack
Of bayonets, for the lady was said to
have had a very sharp tongue. know

when writing to his wife while on. a
fishing expedition, calls her my dear

All the While she keeps him guessing
She is faithful. fond and fair

Gladly with her brave defender.

But he may as well confess
He will never understand her.

stores OF the ,IlddIe AGO.

The stoves Of the middle ages and OF
the era of the Roman empire and
throughout Germany and Scandinavia
generally were built of brick, tiles or
similar material and were so large as
to be stationary, sometimes taking up
the whole side Of a room, and in the
latter country in winter the couches
and blankets were spread thereon and
the family used them in lieu of the
bedsteads of subsequent years.
The fire was built at the bottom, and
the heat and smoke passed through va

ter supply from this stream, hence the
subject is one which concerns the health
of nearly $4,000 people.
Although this fact was pointed out
by the present writer years ago, and
again more strongly within the past
year, IL has taken until now for the pub
lie press to just begin to realize IT. 1t
Is hoped that similar Investigations will
be conducted by other papers. in order
to establish the rational OF the efforts
Of the Water Department to increase
the efficiency Of its plant. The fact that
the town of Coatesville empties its
sewage into the Brandywine is alarm
ing. A town OF the size Of Coatesville
will contribute about 100000 gallons OF
Sewage q day. The flow Of the Brandy
wine at Wilmington IS something like
800, 600 600 gallons. This would mean
that the sewage Of Coatesville would
contribute OIL per cent. OF the stream
lhow. But this is only one element in
the pollution Of the stream. The Bran
dywine watershed supports a popula-
ltion OF from 10000 to 10000 people
whose excretions tend directly or indi-
rectly to Dollute the water.
