These mixtures should be put on as
early in the spring as possible and be
raked a little into the grass roots to
prevent the loss of nitrogen from the

ply bone and ashes separately, and If
the former is applied a week or two
before the latter there will be little

After the spring raking, fertilizing,

A STUDY

It was my first allowance" you
see. that was why thought SO much
about it. know now it is impos.
sible to make an allowance do, and
nobody expects it either.
I was only ten pounds short at the
end Of the quarter; and, really,
hadn't been a bit extravagant, except
perhaps for that lovely jeweled mum.
chain. which cost-but there, that
doesn't matter.
Dad scolded me q little, the old
dear, and Of course gave me some more
money; but 1t seemed to me I ought
to save it myself, yet somehow
couldn't.
However, one day all of a sudden
had splendid idea. I would write q
book! It looked SO easy and paid SO
well, I knew, because Mr.. Kingswell,
dads friend, wrote books for which
he got heaps Of money-thousands OF
pounds, somebody told me.
It proved to be very much more trou'
BILE than you would think. I had read
somewhere that one ought to parse
every word one writes. l didn't see
why. Yet did it, for of course an
author must expect to put up with
a little inconvenience; though / am
afraid the parsing would have made
dear old Miss Howard shudder, for
always hated parsing at school,.
soon gave up the idea OF writing
q book.
A tale would be quite enough and
far less bother. So burnt the
other stuff, parsing and all. and
started on the tale. It was easy to
decide what it should be about. All
the tales I've read have been about
q girl, q man and a wedding. So
soon got it done. It was rather q
rush to get it copied by post time, but
l managed it and sent it OF to the
editor in whose paper wished It to
appear. and then waited for him to
I>send me the check.
About two days later big envelope
came up with my letters and couldnt
think what it might be; but when
opened it was indeed surprised. II
was my tale. The editor didn't
want it.
After breakfast went into the
library and sat down to read the man
uscript over. I picked up the printed
slip whicn came with it. Marked on

WHEN CLEANING GARMENTS
How to Use Gasoline to Get Good Re-
sults-Don't Iron Until All
Has Evaporated.

d II one has black lace dress tnat
looks very stringy and limp, let her
try the following method Of rejuven-
ating it.: Rip it up and wash it in
gasoline and dry; then proceed as
follows: Carefully iron each piece
on the wrong side, pulling 1t into
shape, then place over it damp
cloth and iron until the cloth is
nearly dry. Remove the cloth and
iron until quite dry. It will then be
as crisp as when new. Always darn
any torn places before washing it,
and remember that gasoline must
not be used in a room where there is
the least light, flame or fire.
For cleaning dainty silks or crepe
waists without ripping, place several
quarts of gasoline in a clean bowl or
jar; place the soiled garment in it
and gently squeeze and work until
the sotled spots are gone It is a
good way to mark the soiled spots
before washing, BY tacking a basting
thread in them. When clean, rinse
in clean gasoline. Do not be spar
ing of the gasoline, and II the rinse
looks dirty, rinse it again in clean
fluid. Squeeze out all the gasoline
you can, but do not wiring, and then
hang the garment out to dry. As II
dries (the gasoline evaporates),
carefully pull the trimming into
place. Let it hang until the smell
OF the fluid is about all gone. The
gasoline should be left to settle and
the clear gasoline, poured OF for use
again; but it should not be used for
white goods. For cleaning ribbons,
the ribbons may be placed in q fruit
jar with the gasoline, well shaken
until clean, rinsed, and then wrapped
around q bottle to dry smooth The
