WHEN PLANNING
A CITY GARDEN.

Tom Thumb is the appropriate name
Of the dwarf nasturtiums. Some dwarf
nasturtiums climb very high on lattice
work. but have, of course, small leaves
and flowers. The dwarf bush nasturtiums
are like them. except they remain always
low clumps. The large Towering nastur-
tiums may be either the climbing or the
bush variety.
Do not forget the petunia II you want
something that will thrive well. There
are new dwarf kinds, and often the blooms
are white edged. Then there is a big dark
one that is crimson with a black throat,
which is named for the youthful ruler of
Spain.
Salvias win grow in school yards. so
why not try them at home in side yards?
That is. II bright effects are wished, with
little EXPENSE. The leaves are dark green;
and the plants blossom late in the sum-
mer and fall. when most bright things
come. and are most wanted, as the days
grow chill. In the spring we want the
tender. light colored bulbs, and yellow
primroses, and in June the roses, but as
autumn comes we look for brighter,
stronger hues in flower and leaf.
Why not plant-some nicotianas in boxes
of mixed things. or have some in pots, IL
you keep a stand full Of plants by the
door or on the porch?
Remember that high. full foliaged things
will catch every wind and may be easily
toppied over. so secure them in some way
to prevent injury. Never keep plants on
window lodges to endanger passers-by.

WHEN MAKING HOT
WEATHER SOUPS

A spring or summer vegetable soup
need have no meat in 1t. Few know
how very advantageous it is to have
the vegetables fried lightly before sim
mering them for soup. Suppose you
wish a nice Julienne soup-then take
equal amounts of turnips. celery, car
rots. onions and leeks. After they have
been washed and scraped, cut them in
inch lengths, and divide into small
strips about an eighth of an inch in
thickness. If you nave somewhat over
a pound of these prepared vegetables.
put four rounding tablespoonfuls OF
butter in a stewpan, and cook the
vegetables In 1t until lightly colored.
Add salt and pepper, and a quart of
warm water. Let 1t come up slowly
to a boil and simmer gently for at
most, three hours. Chervil is not as
commonly used as parsley, but it is
very nice In this soup, so add some.

onion and cheese filing.
II You do not wish to afford the
fresh ones, the NICE canned ones are
very cheap at the foreign stores here.
Fry a little onion. which has been
minced fine, in some butter, without
letting 1t color brown. Thicken 1t
with a little flour, and thin with stock,
or hot water, to a good consistency.
Pass 1t through a small sieve or
strainer, and use it to fill the hollows
of the artichoke bottoms.
These artichokes should be arranged
on a pan for heating. after being filed
with this onion, or "soubise" sauce.

THE PLATE OF

about 1855. to cater to the American mar
ket by depicting the heroes and successors
Of the Revolution has there been a more
notable one issued, either in subject or
design, than that recently brought out
in the interest of the $4,000 statue OF
Pocahontas TO be executed by the famous
sculptor, James Ordway Partridge. and
erected on jamestown Island.
Moreover, it is the first one ever de-
signed to commemorate and honor a
woman-the first native born American to
adopt the language, marriage and Gus
toms of civilization. 1t is also the first
historical plate Of any moment to be Of
American manufacture, which. Of course,
makes 1t more consistently patriotic.
And yet 1t just misses being American
all the way through" as one might say,
by portraying the Indian princess In her
English costume of gold trimmed red
packet, green vest, high ruff. deep cuffs
and pottle hat. holding in her hand a
quite conventional fan made Of three
ostrich plumes, but as her name of
Matoaka meant white feather" a symbol
she often wore upon her breast, those
composing the fan, though not her heron's
feather. may have the same significance
as we'll as completing the costume OF 1915
as shown in the original portrait painted
in England after she had been graciously
received at court by Queen Anne, wife
of James I. One would rather have ex-
pected the plate to show the little daugh-
ter of Powhatan in her native garments
and Indian ornaments, as h appeared
when she rescued the settlers.
Between the centre portrait and the
outer border of corn and tobacco there Is
an inner border containing the inscr1p-
ton, "Matoaka A. L. S., Rebecka Fila
Potentiss Prime Powhatani Imp Virginae.
It was made in the State of New York
from a water color design prepared for
the plate committee of the Pocahontas
Association, of which Miss Flor
ence Garrison, of Washington, is chair
man, the association having originated
the old residents Of the Capital
City. 1t was Miss Garrison who proposed
the uniau border design that won the
vote over all others submitted.

IN REGARD TO
THE COMPLEXION.

It Is wonderful what a little careful
grooming will do for a woman. Let her
touch her eyebrows with vaseline to bring
out the lustre. let her battle her lips with
aromatic toilet water, dust her wan cheeks
with a bit of pink powder. have her hair
dressed in a glrlish, dainty way and 10!
there is the light of inspiration and sweet
ness that is most delightful and bewitch-
irg. There are good and bad cosmetics,
sane and insane ways of identifying.
Choose the right road, thenAgo ahead, and
you will be amazed to find how you will
chop of a ear of your life every twelve
months. instead of hitching one on. Try 1t.
A simple and most excellent m~assaging
dknoient for the neck and arms is made
by mixing one ounce of cocoa butter and
two ounces of lanolin. The successful use
of any emolient depends upon the thor
oughness and persistency of its appliea-
ton.
All creamy solid cosmetics are really
cold creams. Oil of sweet almonds Is the
foundation material. The Roman beauties
used this oil. and to put it into a pleas

good plan to apply a skin food at night
with gentle massage and to use a cold
cream during the day for the purpose OF
cleansing the complexion.

FOR THE ONE WHO
SEWS AT HOME

In putting ruf1es or other trimming on
| underwear, sew the seam on the right siue.
Stitch a tuck above just wide enough 10
cover seam, then stitch the edge OF the
tuck down over the seam, and you have q
very neat finish.
A piece of tin about 9x1S inches IN size
is better thar a board to use when bast-
ing plaits, folds or lace insertion to sheer
material. as the needle slips over it more
easily. Such a piece of tin is very handy
for use when stamping patterns.
A pretty dresser or sideboard cover can
be made from brown linen, the ends en-
broidered In seallops with white embroid-
cry cotton, and a monogram or initial
worked on one end. The sides may be
hemstitched.
For a pretty table cover crochet wheels
from linen thread and sew them On a
bleached or unbleached canvas foundation.
Use ten to form a right angle in each
corner, and b~uttonhole them In place;
then cut the canvas from under them.
They may be used in a row all around
the cover. Flowers having petals made
of Honitan braid with French knots in
the centre may be used in the same way
on a linen cover. Fringe the edges of the
cover.
Pretty portieres may be made from
scraps of silk or wooden by cutting them
on the bias about an inch wide and any
length. Run a draw thread of linen
through the centre of ope piece, then
through another, and push down to the
end of the thread. Fill the length to the
thread in this way and 1t should look
like a rope. In hanging these ropes may
be all of one length or shorter ones in
the centre. Fasten on a pole and let
them hang straight, or loop them Just
as any rope or bead portiere would be
traatad

All the same, married or not, 1 cannot
see much sense in letting a little thing
like a pleasure trip upset ones nerves
and get one so excited that the pleasure
of a day is gone before n starts away.
And that is what she, and many like
her, do. >.
With some women the least little
event outside of their daily routine is
to be dreaded by the whole family.
They get so excited, and go at things
with such an unnecessary rush and
hustle that the rest get the fever, and
there is always more or less danger OF
some member, probably masculine, los
ing his temper and declaring that he
will not go one step. Finally all start
off in anything but holiday moods, and
the usual family jar is bound to occur
before they are homeward bound.
The funny part of it is, these same
women, who take pleasure so excitedly'
are Just the ones who meet genuine
trouble with calmness, never thinking
of getting fused" to borrow the pet
expression of youths of a certain age.
And why they cannot keep cool in the
face of a good time will always remain
a mystery.

"Dear mel Why can't people mind their
own business and cav me to mind mine'
complained a young housekeeper 10 d
friend a few day ago. "Some OF my
friends think 1t their duty to butt In on
me any time they feel like IL, and CIV
me all sorts of advise about managing
my home. I suppose they think because
I was a business girl I know nothing OF
housekeeping. I'll lose my patience some
day and tell them what 1 think, she
added.
That the young woman had a righteous
grievance few will deny, for If happiness
is to reign in the home the young wife
should refuse to follow out the gratuitous
advice concerning the management OF
her house, offered by every relative and
friend. 1t should be her privilege TO en-
deavor to suit the tastes of herself and
her husband, without being made to feel
that she is bound to follow out the ideas
of other people.
She need not go to the other extreme,
however, and refuse to learn from the
ways and customs OF more experienced
housekeepers, because there are many use
full hints which the observant wife may
learn by watching other women.
One thing to be religiously avoided Is
the habit, so prevalent among some house
wives, of running up bills. It only leads
to overcharges and accumulative debts,
and often sorry tears and regret.
Keep an account of What you spend and
you will have the satisfaction of knowing
just where the money goes. If your
husband makes you an allowance take
care to keep within 1t, and If you are
far-seeing and have the habit of saving
you will find 1t a pleasure to be able to
put aside a little out of your allowance.
Some day you may surprise yourself and
your husband by the snug little bank
account you have managed to save, all
due to your own forethought and
economy.
Remember, that in nine cases out of
ten a thrifty wife always retains the adj
miration and respect of her husband.

THE LATEST
In SUMMER HATS.

The latest and most popular hat for gar
den and mountain wear is composed OF
cretonne and broderie Anglaise combined
the former providing the crown, wnile the
brim is nothing more nor less thai a wide
frill OF the broderie.
The cost of a hat of this description Is
vastly increased by the fact that 1t Is
usually matched by a cretonne parasoi,
the two together having a very charming
effect against the cool green background.
The trimming of these hats IL a matter OF
minor Importance, the pretty rose-pat-
termed cretonne making further adornment
unnecessary beyond a bow of Pompadour
ribbon to match the material. or of a plain
white ribbon decorated with detached
cretonne flowers.

MOBILIZE
The Way some DO.

Did you ever watch some woman oil
your acquaintance get ready to go away
on a journey? And did you ever think
what a goose she was for rushing and
tearing around like a wild being in
order to be ready for a train five hours
before it was due?
Recently a friend of mine decided to
taxi her two small youngsters on a
trip to one of the shore resorts to spend
the day. The day before the outing
was spent in Strengthening her house
from garrett to cellar, so that it would
be in apple-pie order if anything should
happen while she was away. The next
morning she was up betimes, plunged
the kidlets into the bathtub. started to
dress them, went on a wild search for a
particular tie which belonged to the
oldest. and ripped two buttons from the
little girls shoe trying to button them
all at once.
Then she began to pack the lunch,
and such a time as she had. Three
times she had to unite all of the strings
and remove all of the papers because
each time she had left out something
she thought she needed.
Finally they started and had gone
about a block when she became con-
WINGED that she had forgotten to lock
the back door. Back she went, leaving
the kidlets in charge of the lunch boxes,
only to find that the door was locke all
the time.
She started once more, then rushed
back to write a note to the milkman
and pin it on the door, asking him to
leave the days supply of milk with the
woman Ia the next house.
