THE FLOWER GARDEN.
Old Favorites Should Do Well with
Attention to Few Conditions
"A List Given.

Among the flowers that are old
standbys for the summer garden are
asters, sweet peas, nasturtiums, poppy,
phlox, castor plant and sunfiower.
Asters should be planted in BOXES in
March and transplanted in the garTeu
in May The nasturtiums and sweet
peas should have poultry netting held
in place by stakes to vine on. With
the exception of the aster, these flow
ers should be sown the last of April.
You can depend on these feEeE
every time if you give them good s04e
to grow in and keep the weeds away
from them. If prevented from ripen-
ing seed by gathering the flowers as
fast as they appear, they will come
into bloom early in the season and
produce flowers well up to the frost
time.
The old-fashioned sunfower can be
used to advantage, and to give the
garden a tropical effect the recinus
or castor plant with its palmate leaves
is strikingly effective.
The castor plant and sunfiower
should be used as a background for
the garden, and should be planted on
the four sides of the garden and next
to the fence, and the space of from
three to four feet of the fence should
be filled in with the asters, sweet
peas, poppies, nasturtiums and phloX.

tive contrast, and when the colors are
becoming the result is charming, just
the tones to give refreshing on warm
day.
The gray shoes are likewise charm
ing; there are gun-metal tones, pearl
gray suedes, dull finished kids in sew
eral shades OF gray, and gray canvas
ties. OF course, gray spats are pro-
curable. Then, to jump from shoes to
parasols, over my lady's head floats
and dips a gray parasol-this surely n
novelty. There are gray silk umbreI-
las, too, gray belts, gray petticoats-
gray everything. And, as they always
do, the men have followed in the wom-
ems lead; gray rules at present in
mems apparel.
If one does not care to array oneself
all in Quaker tones. one may use ou'
a touch of gray and attain desired
style. A gray veil OF chou or gloves
or belt, is suggested. And in hand
bags the variety of beautiful things
in gray apepars infinite; as gray is a
color that may be used with any cos
tune, gray bag is an economical in
yestment. Another good Investment

THE NEW WASH-FROCKS.
We Have a Return of "Sprigged
Muslins" and of the Quaint
Styles of Long Ago. -

Among the perfectly new kinks for
wash frocks is the use of the old
flowered French taffeta-wash cot
tons-and figured calicoes SO highly
finished that they have the loohS of
damask Plain materials in the same
weaves are employed to trim these,
but the solid decoration is very spare.
One such imported gown seen owned
the charming title of costume ber-
gere (shepheress' dress). French
calico was said to be the material,
but the effect was like that of a toilet
upon a Watteau fan. Upon dam
asked white background were small
bouquets of naturally tinted field
flowers, tied with live knot ribbons
in pale blue. This formed the upper
dress, which was in a species of
polonaise with family defined pam
niers and square neck and fiounced
elbow sleeves. The lower skirt was
of plain blue calico finely killed and
made decidedly short, and with this
ravishing toilet went a high guimpe
and long undersleeves of embroi-
dered white muslin.
Great stress is laid upon the style
of the gloves for entire wash gowns.
French authorities declare kid to be
entirely out of Washington
Star.
The Colorado statesman., 1906-06-02

Make the skirt with a Spanish flounce,
having small heading and perhaps
a couple of tucks at the bottom. New
skirt patterns for wash dresses are not
the regular circular skirt, but the dress
when finished looks very much as
though made after the circular pat
ern and is better because it will not
sag.
Most elaborate embroidered dress
lengths may be bought at the stores
and the fashioning of a dress there
from be simple matter; but for our
part we care more for the sheer hne
materials and fluffy trimming than for
heavy elaboration. This, of course, is
a matter of individual taste.
The girl graduate of 1906 may wear

turn to adornment of the coiffure

Care of Shoes.

Boot and shoe trees are all very
well if they can be afforded, but a set
of them to accommodate the footgear
of the average well-dressed woman
represents quite considerable ex-
penditure. Tissue paper crushed and
packed in the shoe answers every pur-
pose of keeping it in shape and costs
almost nothing. Patent leather shoes
need special care to preserve them
in good condition. When they are
fresh and new they may be wiped
over after every wearing with soft
linen cloth, and set in closet that
is not too cold nor too warm. Ex-
tremes of temperature injure the leath-
er. AS the shoes begin to show
signs of wear they should be washed
with sponge dipped in lukewarm
water, and after being carefully dried,
be lightly brushed over with patent
leather varnish sold for the purpose
and applied with a camel's-hair brush.

In the spring a young girls fancy
earnestly turns to thoughts of gown to
wear on the momentous occasion she
receives her diploma, and ii is none too
early to consider trocks of this charac

interest just now in filmy finery

SOME VEGETABLE DISHES.
Vegetable Salads Very Appetizing
This Time of Year-The Value
of Carrots.

l have lately noted an especially
dainty salad that looks very appetiz-
ing these spring days: Cook some
tips of asparagus, some string beans
and carrot, boiling each until quite
tender in salted water; have the
beans in Pinch lengths and cut into
slender strips; the asparagus stalks
may be used for soup, as only the ex-
treme tips are nice in this salad.
Chill couple of tomatoes and some
of the small spring onions called
shallots; these must be carefully
peeled and then cut into inch lengths.
Place a leaf of lettuce on salad
plate and lay the asparagus tips in a
little pile at one side, slice or two
of tomato and a little heap of the
beans on the other; wash and cut a
couple of new radishes into rounds
and lay them in another small heap
next the beans. Serve very cold with
French dressing, and the salad will
be found delicious.
1t is a pity carrots are not better
liked; they are both cheap and whole
some, something that can not be said
of many eatables. They should not
be peeled, but well washed and
scraped; put on in boiling salted
water and cook until perfectly ten
der; but they should not cook to a
mushy condition; drain and they
may then be served whole in a plain
white sauce, or be sliced lengthwise
and dipped in batter, then fried a
nice brown in very hot fat. Carrots
are e-cellent boiled, mashed, sea-
soned with plenty of butter and salt
and pepper, a little milk added and
baked like mashed potatoes. They
flavor toups and stews better than
any other vegetable and should be
used plentifully at this season.-St.

pretty nothing to be found of softer
coloring than gray and white.
We recently observed a gray and
white transparent frock-could not
make out just what the material was,
looked like a silk muslin, but seemed
to have more body; the skirt trimmed
only with wide tucks, the blouse sim
ply with little filmy lace. This frock
would be very pretty worn with a
white chip hat having gray feather
across the back and a wreath of whit9
new long wells might be draped about
it, the draping long veil restored to full
favor. No doubt as the season ad-
vances we shall have numbers of gray
wash dresses, and these will be Sc
lected not only by the gray haired

"Graduafin$'' and Summer
FPOCkS.


In the show windows of the big
s,ores we see beautiful gray stockings
on display, there are show cases full
of gray handbags, gray gowns fill the
streets, and in millinery gray is no
ticeable to an unusual degree.
Gray and white would once have ap-
peared a rather colorless combination,
but to-day is exceedingly chic. Gray
tulle bows adorn neckwear on gray
gowAs, gray wells float from gray hats.
To be sure, the gray hats as rule are
frightened by some intense color, ce-

Heaviest of Railway Rails.

What are believed to be the heavi
est rails in use on any steam railroad
in the world are on the belt line
around Philadelphia. They weigh 142
pounds to the yard. Concrete with
nine-inch girders are used with heavy
ballast to make a firm roadbed One
railroad official states this section of
roadbed will last for 25 years without
repairs. This would mean a material
reduction in maintenance expense to
the roma using these rails.

said that the moment a picture frame

have no artistic education feel the iny

knowing just what to say, or why, and

Provide for Them.

Among the very first acts of the Legis.
lature at the coming term should be a
thorough investigation of South Caro-.
lina's provision for the Insane. There is
no more important work ahead of the
body than this No matter what it costs
we believe the taxpayers of the State will
be satisfied If proper arrangements are
made for the comfort and care of these
afflicted people. From what can be gath
cred adequate accommodation for those
already in the asylum is not at hand. If
this is true what will be the condition
later on with the alleged ratio of increase
in insanity maintained? Mental derange-
ment is no respector of persons. No one
knows how close homo it will strike or
that any individuals, loved ones, may not
have to be committed. For the sake of
those already afflicted, in provision for
the future and in the name of humanity
let us do the right thing regardless OF ex-

Aiken Talks Of immigration.

Charleston, Nov. 5.-Among the out
of-town people on the wharf yesterday
afternoon to watch the landing of the
immigrants were Hon. and Mrs. Wyatt
Aiken.
The Congressman Is a thorough-going
advocate of high-class Immigration for
South Carolina. In fact 1t is said that he
has been its strongest advocate among
the South Carolina delegation in Con-
gress, and it is on account Of his interest
in the launching of the movement on a
permanent basis, and because he consid-
cred the arrival of the Wittekind an
epoch in the history of Southern immi-
grafton, that he was in Charleston yes
terday.
The colonel also has the reputation of
being one of the best allround hand
shakers in Congress. But he did not
shake hands or watch immigrants all the
afternoon. He stopped long enough to
tell of his deep interest in the movement
and his efforts in support of it.
''In my opinion" said Mr. Aiken, this
trip of Commissioner Watson means a
great deal for South Carolina and the
South. It Is certainly one of the most

unturned to make the Charleston Bre-
men Line permanent | am deeply In
terested in the success of this initial load
Of immigrants. for / am the only Con-
gressman in South Carolina, and one of
the few in the South, who came out
openly in favor of immigration two or
three years ago and made the race sue
cessfully for Congress on the issue. am
not in favor OF bringing immigrants to
sswork in the cotton mills, but am deeply
in the movement to bring in
&good people from the north of Europe to
settle in South Carolina and become
land owners, for when a man owns his
home he is mighty apt to become apatri-
otto citizen and when they travel thou
sands of miles to cast their fortune in
our land as settlers, they are more than
apt to prove good citizens.
"The South is abruptly aud squarely
against most serious condition on the
labor question and we all know that as a
laborer the negro is daily becoming more
worthless and unreliable.
"Commissioner Watson should be
given every encouragement and strong
support by our Legislature in his com
mendable efforts to get immigrants to
SoutL Carolina. There Is at this time in
three counties in my district enough un.
occupied good land for 100000 thrifty
white people,"
